Fashion Notes.

EMBROIDERY done in colored silk
floss is form of trimming very
much in vogue. They are used es-
pecially on the sheer. thin fabrics.
Wide fringe, and yet wider fringe, is
used on the edges Of apron tunics, on
the bottom of skirts and on sleeves,
either at the bottom edge or else as
trimming bands. 1t can't, seemingly,
be too wide.
Little undersleeves, slightly fulled
above the snug narrow cuff, are fea-
tured on some very smart frocks of
black satin. They are done sometimes
IN white satin. sometimes in black or
white net, and have a curiously quaint
look. One such set of undersleeves Is
finished around the wrist with tiny
scallops and the black satin edge Of
the sleeve is likewise scalloped in lit
tie half circles.
II one wears feathers upon ones
hat they should be uncurled.
The sport coats made Of delicately
hued faille are usually sleeved and
are somewhat on the unbelted. nor
folk jacket style.
One should avoid. when choosing a
fall suit queer shades of blue. green
and purple. Terra Gotta standard
reds may be considered.
The upturned hem, like cuff at the
bottom of the skirt, is not unknown.
Now there appears a hem turned up
for short space-and buttoned back
on the skirt.
The big collar Is coming--that is.
the very big. high, wide collar on the
coat. 1t hugs up around the throat and
It lies soft and close along the
shoulders. OF course, It can be rolled
back so that the throat is uncovered,

but often they are slightly draped up

step. and then a draped tunic. which

So. you see. the designers are kind
to US after all. They provide new
skirt and new silhouette, but they
do not compel you to buy new gown.
She who has money and little leisure
will find 1t possible to arrange the new
idea through the combination Of an
old frock draped into tunic and a
new skirt narrowly cut at the hem.

part in the stir of the times when
things are happening each hour? 1t is
probable that few who are alive to-

We can see things shape and reshape
themselves before our eyes.
World movements are not the only
movements that engross us. The re-
adjustment of our own lives TO meet
emergencies takes ingenuity and alb
sorbs our interest There are those
who like the old ways; those who do
not wish a change from the cradle to
the. grave either in their own lives or
In those about them. Their order Of
living is as established as the move
mont of the stars. They prefer such
mental and moral Quietude. But even
they are thrilled In this hour---against
their inclinations. They find that life
has suddenly become absorbingly
vital. They find themselves in the cur
rent. rushing along with the rest of
the world into new horizons and new
formations. They are bit frightened
but they cannot fail to be stirred.

The food question has no place in a

clothes have undergone the same
transformation as everything else In
America. Economy and conservation
are the keynote OF dressing, but only

of her appearance.

began to find out the immeasurable
