ROSES As TRIMMING.

All the Victoria roses are not on sofa cushions. Some of them orna. meHt frocks. This is a new idea, crib. ping a colorful trick from the inte- rior decorators and applying it to open air clothes, says the New York Sun. The result is effective. Every woman does not like it, but those who do care for it carry 1t off with skill and receive admiration.
 It was Bulloz who started the idea of padded colored roses on blue serge frocks His scheme for c5loration was followed in Q. more or less hearty manner in this country until jet ap- peared as the best ornamentation for serge gowns. and then the colored roses fell out. There is q question in Inc minds of many who take dress se-
 iouslY as to whether it is good taste | to put either jet or roses on so com mon cloth as serge; but if the world takes up a fashion wi.h sufficient en- thusiasm to popularize it criticism dies out. :?
 Now the roses of Bulloz were of satin, and possibly that is why the fashion did not get a good grip or ha public. The new roses are of wool, and their juxtaposition to serge, lours and velveteen is beyond crlti- cism.
 There is no difference between the roses for g. frock and those for a cushion. They all belong to the Vie torian era. They are made of colored wools; they are crude in shape: they do not deceive any one into thinking that they took nature as jly4- pattern They splash about in rather an awkward way on a skirt, on a pair of sleeves, or at the end Of d string belt
 When the world found that the con servation Of wool was . necessity and that only three and a half yards would be allowed for Q froclz the world instantly took wool as q luxury and brought it into prominence. Such is the mischievous way of French designers. It emacxs of those childish and witty pranks that the Belgians kept up for four years under German domination, such as wearing macaroni in their hats when Italy | joined the war and the German gov ernment forbade any celebration; or pinning scraps of paper on the lapels | of their coats and allowing them to stick out of all their pockets during the different anniversaries at the be- ginning of the war.
 So when the designers coufun't use wool for clothes. Tn spirit of pure mischief they poured 1t out as orna- mentation: but it was a mischief that did not interfere with the conserva- ton of wool.
 Colored roses may be made from odds and ends of crewel. They cost little: but the dressmakers had no cinscience in a. ing a good price for them. Sometimes they are useS in 1 fantastic ways A hedge of wooler ! hollyhocls in green and red growing around the border of a blue serge frock gives the observer a start, but Q group Of red, blue and yellow roses ! at the back of q bell-shaped coat
