NOTES FROM THE
WORLD OF DRESS

New York, Nov. 24,-The day has
come when frequent change of dress
rather than ultra-fine rainment en-
titles one to be described by that
charmed word "well-gowned". The
rising cost of living has made il i'm
possible for women to spend as
much as formerly they did upon
their wardrobes, so that it has been
necessary to employ less expensive
material and trimmings to carry out
the ideas of the kings and queens of
dress.
One has to be individual to be
strictly up-to-date, yet there are
many novelties which set standard
for the disciples of Dame Fashion
Little metallic touches are numerous
throughout the province of dress.
Even the serge trotting frock may
have its bits of silver or gold EN-.
broidery, its metallic tassel, metallic
cord etc, and evening frocks CLEAN
with silver. Silver laces of all kinds.
from those of finenet run with silver
thread to the heavy, soft, all silver

kinds of silver motifs. silver gallons,
