Rose-Trimmec.

Roses are used to create lines on the
surface of the gowns. They are made
of satin, of crystals, of panne velvet.
They are swung around the deepest
armholes. they outline the apron eff
feet. They are dropped from waist
TO ankles in straight lines to accentu-
ate the movement Of the skirt drapery.
They swing from one hip across the
front and up to the end of the spine.
They are placed across the front of the
bodies like the modern Sam Browne
belt, which is merely an adaptation of
the sash of ancient Europe to Indicate
military rank.

Hoonskirt Tendency.

Effects as old-fashioned as they are

very few Of the real hoopskirts seen,
and these are chiefly made by the spe-
cialty shops, and one doubts whether
it will have any vogue at all on this
side Of the Atlantic. The nearest ap-
proach to the old-fashioned hoopskirf
Is seen in the full gathered skirts
with slightly stifrened hip draperies.
