or as elaborate as the occasion de-
mands. Most of these dresses are
trimmed with soutache braid. bead,
silk. metal thread. or wool embroid-
cries, some in more intricate designs
than others. Soutache braid is now
applied with the braid standing on
one edge instead of laid fat, so that
the raised effect obtained in this way
is more attractive than the old way.
New Georgette Dresses.
To give some examples Of the
charming Georgette dresses recently
seen: A beautiful model was Of soft
green worked across the front Of
the waist in design with beads Of
the same color. The straight, full
skirt was worked with beads also,
and the only other trimming was a
narrow band of dark fur around the
collar. Another dresse, of a light
maize color, was trimmed with bands
of picot-edged velvet in dark brown,
the velvet having been used in bands
OF graduated widths on the skirt.
There are many attractive dresses
OF less formal character, and two
examples of these are shown in the
accompanying sketches. The first
embodies many new features of the
season; first and foremost, the
square, ripping tunic weighted at
the four corners with tassels. But
tons and rows of braid serve as trim
ming, and the machine stitching is
also conspicuous.
In Russian style is the other dress.
Anything Russian is considered ultra
smart these days and the craze has
not stopped with dresses and blouses
but has extended to hats, the Rus
sian turban with high crown being
one Of the latest edicts of fashion.
The Russian blouse. without a side
or front opening, but made to slim
on over the head, is worn over a
plain skirt with ripping fulness. A
band Of oriental embroidery edges
the blouse and a little vest and
standing collar finish the neck. This
fayorite model is developed in ma
terials of all textures and weights
and looks as pretty in soft Georgette
as in serge or broadcloth.
Jersey Cloth Holds Its Own.
Both silk and wool jersey are
prominent among dress materials
