III satso"s ms which ''ds'. are used for Trim:
- - ming some of the newest frochs
These little buttons are made over little
wooden forms and are less than hall an
inch square in some cases. a long row OF
them, covered with the material of the
freck, is very effective on the skirt of a
deep red crepe de chine model seen re
Gently.
one Of the prettiest fashions for the
fuIl-length negiiges is this: There Is a
foundation of blue silk, loosely draped
and gathered about the figure. 1t is quite
plain save for its own soft folds. over
this is worn a Jacket of lace that
reaches to the hips. The edges of this
Jacket are finished with little lace ruch-
ing.
most practical motoring coat is worn
by some women who motor a great deal.
1t is made of army cloth and takes the
form of a long cape. with a pointed hood

coat or sweater should be worn under
such a cape. to keep the arms warns.
Some of the new blouses Of thin stuffs
have 4 little silk or linen cord, ending in
tassels run In a little casing around the
neck When the blouse is adjusted the
cord Is drawn up and the ends are tied in
loops. The effect is very good and very
easy to produce, and little SIX cord

homemade blouse of chiffon or crepe dc
chine or silk would do away with many
OF the difficulties of the neck line-a try
ing matter for the home sewer.
Chenille is used somewhat lavishly on
the new parasolS. One effective model
is made OF dark blue taifeta silk, with a
five-inch border of light green. over this
border there is d network of laced che
nile threads in dark blue and the result
charming.
