Id moue, no Two SIDES OF a dress SnOulu
be the same. The most striking fea-
ture of this frock, the one which gives
it touch of distinction, is a broad
ribbon sash of brilliant oriental color
ing. The ends hang down far behind,
and are finished with tassels.
On her dainty feet, which tripped |
so lightly to the time of the music,
were black satin slippers A silver |

the slippers, and the ribbon lacings |
were passed through silver clasps in
stead of the old-fashioned eyelet.
There is no lessening of the popular
ity of fur, even with the approach of
spring. 1t is to be seen among the ad-
vanced displays modestly combined
with cotton fabrics as we'll as silk and
wool. Marabout will probably have its
vogue for summer wear.
Another young woman wore the
charming frock pictured in the second
sketch. This shows handsome devei-
Chine, brown fur and creamy net lace.
The square neck sleeves and tunic are
edged with bands of fur, and from be-
meath the tunic falls a ruffe of hand
some net lace. The fur at neck and
sleeves is softened by frills of the lace.
A wide panne velvet girdle of a deep
raspberry color encircles the waist,
and just above it band of brown fur
gives a unique finish. The slippers
worn with this dress matched the gir-
die and were worn over white silk
stockings
Another attractive frock was of
creamy printed silk having apple-green
as the predominating color in the pat
tern. This was trimmed with a Japan
csc stand-away collar of green taffeta,
and double panniers on the skirt also
of green taffeta. This is but one of
many combinations. l have seen tat

tunics with taffeta ruffles are another
of the whimsical Old Lady Fashions
latest fads.
Very pretty and graceful is the fad
of wearing scarfs of chiffon, lace and
tulle. An orange-colored scarf worn
with black or taupe dress will do as
much in adding the striking motif to
the costume as brilliant sash. Some
scarfs are plain; others are double
pink on one side and green on thu
other, or brick color on the under sidt
and black on the upper-merely ques
ton of taste and contrast. There ar
wonderful imported scarfs with bord
ers of gold and silver brocade, an
others of net with a charming al
over design of multi-colored beads.
