New Dress
Trimmings
Largely of
Chenille

With background of soft, tine
net and the design in raised effect
and of the lustrous chenille the
new Winter dress trimmings are
amazingly effective.
There are wide and narrow
bands. and sometimes there is a
bit of lacey braid, of glistening
design of soutache worked in with
the chenille.

two fashionable shades of blue, a
soft, rich taupe and black, they
will be admirable for use with the
new Winter gowns and blouses.
