 Embroidered chiffon edging is sold in many of the shops. Some of 1t is embroidered in white. and some in colors. and it is equally attractive when used as trimming on q chiffon petticoat or when used as a trim ming about tho neck and sleeves of dainty chiffon blouse.
 The chic effect in a girls dress. whether 1t be for day or evening, gen erally rests in some detail-the color. which should be becoming and mod ern; tlIe material, which should be up to date. and. no matter how unpre- tentious the robe, it should include some little collar. cuff. iunic or rHtra style detail that proves it to be of this years vintage
 The tunic is not tabooed fer bud. ding feminine beauty. Indeed. most of the frocks. whether for morning. afternoon or evening. have some mod ifications of this short upper skirt that has been the salient style note of the season.
 Wraps are often retained through. out the evening at the play. Won derful trimmed brocades hanging on the shoulders are fit backgrounds for the mist of pearly chiffons that com pose the gowns. While chincilla and sable fur coats are often preferred fer evening wraps because of their inconspicuous elegance, ermine re- mains the most strikingly picturesque evening fur.

It will adorn everything collars with revcgs will be made of it, one will find 1t as trimming on seal and ohinohilla coats, as well as on the mantles of liberty and velvet and on tall or theater wraps. Fox also will be ore of the popular fur', because long haired furs are more in vogue than the short haired.
 Black bear is another fur that promises to be quite popular. Tho fur. long and brilliant. has conquered the fashionable woman. Leopard has it's admirers also; evening wraps of brocaded silk or of taifeta will be trimmed with it. and automobile coats will be made of it.

The separate vest, or wide belt made like the lower part Of vest, or a waist that hes all the masculine vest points combined with the feminine blouse. or tan replaces the blouse or is worn over it.
 The plainer skirts are very short. Those cut to the boot tops. exposing contrasting uppers. are the very last work in fashion. but they are re- served for walking and shopping. The same type of jacket used with such a skirt Is worn also with an afternoon skirt The afternoon skirt win be longer. possibly edged with fur. and have the new drapery movement that brings the skirt hem against tho heels and the extra fullness toward the front.
 In the simple type of tailored suits. the band of fur around the neck and long sleeve edges is the only trim ming. But. because 1t is the height of style, 1t gives just that aristocratic look to the morning suit that is 30 desirable. Some Of the latest Paris morning skirts seem widest at the hem. Modernity. however. Is given by their extreme shortness. and an al- most imperceptible forward move ment to the skirt in front A skirt like this measures about one yard and three-quarters about the hem. and. because of it's flare and short ness. reminds one vaguely Of tunic shape.
 The popularity of the tunic has spread to such an extent that it has at last invaded the realm of blouscs designed for afternoon wear. Tunics of varying lengths. attached to waists, pleated sometimes and at other times made with scant fitness about the waist and edged with fur. are to be seen on most of the blouses that have been imported recently.
 A model which promises to be ex. ceedingly popular combines with an exquisite nicety of taste pale blue and flesh pink. and an edging of mink fur about the neck, sleeves and the bottom of tine tunic adds the las, touch of smar;ness. The tunic DOT. ton of the blouse and the lower part of the waist proper are made of blue satin, soft and supple. which extends mp upon the waist in two bib-like points both in front and back. Veil ing this completely and forming the upper portion of the blouse and also the sleeves is covering of flesh col ored chiffon. which is gathered in al the bottom of the waist tunic. The effect Of the flesh pink chiffon over the pale blue satin is most pleasing.
