Beaded Motifs Are Used

The fashion for black evening and
dinner gowns, now that dancing is los
ing some of its popularity, has led to
corresponding changes in other details
of dress. Many women wishing to be
properly gowned for various occasions,
without much effort on their part have
adopted rather elaborate dark dresses.
Dark accessories are the natural Sc
quence to this almost universal cpl
demic of somber frocks. Iridescent
beads, spangles and sequins are used
to relieve the monotony and flash of
light Is the effect of waving fan of
iridescent spangles. A frock recently
displayed was of black taffeta, dull
enough by itself, but iridescent beads,
applied in fan-shaped motif on the
apron transformed 1t.

1t on the symbols Of luxury but soon
the French women took 1t up for its
beauty and again we have soft felt hats

New Suits Show Peltry.
The American designers, as we'll as
those In France, are taking time by
the forelock and exhibiting autumn
gowns that may be bought at the pres
ent moment and worn at summer re-

idea they grow more and more fascin-
ating. For instance, there Is COM
binatioI Of camisole and petticoat

round its edges with tiny plaitings of
the same material. Then, by way of
diversion. there are old blue ribbons

knotted In beautiful little rosettes.
Black and deep purple for nightgowns

upon. There are many cases when
white is not the most becoming color

They want fur; they like tc wear 1t,

Therefore, the designers will let
them have their way. They not only
give them separate pieces of fur, but
gowns trimmed with it, capes bordered
with it and blouses heaped with 1t.
Mind you, they are not stingy about
fur on these new clothes. There Is not

bold and lavish manner, such as 90

1t does not tafe superfine reckoning
to realize that the American sealskin Is
about the only fur that can be used In
this generous fashion. The stiff-haired
pelts cannot be manipulated into pieces
Of garment; they must remain as
separate entities used as accessories.
