Paris has exerted her boundless en-
ergy this year by producing some mar
yelous embroidery. The Renaissance
tapestries have been turned to for in
SEPARATION, and their motifs copied al
most exactly; even the wool and dull
silk embroidery yarns are the same
faded shades that Marguerite de Valois
threaded back and forth four centu-
ries ago, in her castle at Chenonceaux.
Classic designs have also been revived,
SO one might truly say that ehnbroi-
derry is the mode of the moment. Even
the famous silk looms of France are
reproducing these old embroidery de-
signs in their wonderful brocades.
Simplicity may be the keynote of the
times, but extreme simplicity is used
in the most costly of gowns, a yeri-
tive paradox.
Having these embroideries in mind
attention is centered in the extremely
modish gown in the center. While out
line is extremely exaggerated, this ho
rizon blue velvet embroidered in silver
possesses, a charm that is distinctive.
What would delight the hearts of our
women is the exquisite muff of white
chiffon that goes with this lovely cos
tune The velvet turban. one Of the
most simple offered, lends last ex
elusive touch to the whole. II
Muffs will relieve us for while
from our eternal handbags, but bags
we must have for our knitting, SO one
