BY BETTY BROWN

n. T.. A. Fashion Expert
NEW YORK Aug. Every new
season has its special accessory which
marks the mode, and this year the mode
has staged a retreat to the vogue 70.
beads and fringes
Beads In fringes, might be the proper
way TO put It. for gorgeous colored
fringes OF crystal, wood. chalk and bone
are shown In every width and hue.
Not only frlnges but closely beaded
sashes and even vestees have succumbed
to the new fad and we shall go about
with the same costume ornaments as
the earliest Americans.
one OF the cleyerest beaded novelties
Of the season is the small fat collar Of
beads with pointed tabs for wear with
dark silk or serge frocks
It's the necessary touch OF color
and doesn't require laundering every
dayl
Fringes, too. are decidedly the proper
thlngl
Made OF silk in every width. from
one inch to eleven inches. lt finishes
panels trims hats, terminates over
Dlouses and covers tunic and skirt hens.
Separate belts and sashes are popular
indeed.
Some wind twice or thrice around
he figure, tying any place you Ike.
They are made OF silk or heavy rih-
ION OF brilliant hues, and most are
asset or fringe tipped
Another point 10 remember about US
ne fringes is that to be in good form

they must match exactly the color OF
the frock on which they are used.
For hats the fringe often takes the
form OF uncurlcd ostrich flues. the sin
gle fllaments OF feather that form the
full plume, draped around the crown
or fiat on broad brims, the feather
fringe is always lovely and becoming.
In Paris they are using this feather
fringe TO trim the fllmy evening capes
OF chiffon, and even to make fly-away
buckles" for satin slippers.
On, yes, OF course THE EVENING
JOURNAL women want to heer about
the new neckwesr and dainty collars.
Well, they are delectable- OF all
because they INCLUDE fuckers!
Tucker has an Old-fashioned sound.
and 1t gives a sweet, demure expression
TO the woman who wears IT,
A tucker is a soft fIll-galhered hit OF
fine lawn. Organdie or soft null, which
fits down inside the collar and serves
to Ill in a low cut neckline.
The new necklines are certsinly low
cut.
They are both round and square. cut
deep in front and back and quite wide
at the sides. but the tucker saves them
from all hint OF immodesty.
They lend just the right bit OF dainty /

they save material.
