FASHION NOTES.
pLACK velvet Is strikingly embroid-
- cred with jet sequins In some Of
the new gowns. One especially
goodlooking combination is shown
in an evening gown embroidered on
the skirt with jet to knee depth.
Knights in armor form the motif
in a printed silk from which a good
slip-on blouse is made. The sleeves
are in gray georgette, which har-
mOnizes well with the neutral back
ground tone OF the silk. 4
Fur stOles with outside patch pock-
cts are among the comfortable, as
well as smart, fur pieces of the au-
tumn. One lovely one, made OF squir-
rel, in natural gray. is lined with
flame -colored crepe.
Ivory is coming in for good deal
of attention this season. There are
some excellent bracelets of deep col.
ored ivory. carved and etched. Then
there are ivory clasps on some of the
new fur pieces. YelloweG bone is also
used for fur clasps with good effect.
Sometimes. too. ivory or bone clasps
and buckles are used on frocks Of
velvet, tricolette and serge.
Has fringe gone out Of fashionf
No, indeed. 1t may not be used in
just the same way it usel to be used,
but it is still used. Feather, fringe
is in vogue and is applied to evening
frocks quite entrancingly. And some
of the new frocks in duvetyn show
aprons of long silk ribbon fringe.
There is nothing commonplace about
this feature. in spite of the fact that
1t isn't very new. 1t is cleverly used.
Batik work is used a good deal on
accessories OF dress. Silk scarfs
stamped in batik fashion give clever
finish to some of the dark toned
frocks of the early autumn. .

They are pretty. too, but not quite
so much in keeping with the tone of
modernity as are the long swirls of
bright-colored tulle that seem to be
their alternative. Sometimes these
tulle scarfs, very wide. are held in
at the ends with interesting tassels
of barbaric colored beads.
One of the new handbags looks like

edge. That is, the. bag has such a
squat, plump silhouette that one
can't help thinking Of little old

Two-plumed fans are charming.
They are made simply of two big,
slightly curled plumes-curled just
enough so that each frond curves
gracefully toward the end. They 4

an interesting trimming line and

Flowered, silk umbrellas, in flower

some of the smart shops. They are

Steel rings are used on some of
the new suits in such y way that
they suggest a steel chain. They are
