One-PieCe Gown
Is Still in Favor

long perforations OF good Size out
lined with green silk. Lines Of these
perforations set on end run up and
down on the blouse and round nbout
the skirt. There are also narrow
bands Of embroidery which outline
the simulated eton coats OF certain
frocks, and lines of wool chain stitch
embroidery in rose wool break the
monotonous length Of a blue serge
chemise frock. Besides these there
are frocks embroidered In navy blue
silk, with only an accent Of color.
Straw embroidery on blue serge is
not half as bizarre as 1t sounds. How
ever, 1t is scarcely likely to interest
the woman who takes her clothes Sc
riously. Rat tail braid bindings Of
black or striped silk and outstanding
plaitings Of satin cire ribbon are con-
servative and smart trimmings, as are
black molre ribbons.
FriIls to Edge Apron DraperIes.
Fine plaitings of blue serge arc
used as frills to edge apron draperies,
as tunlc draperles end as the better
part of frock. One model has fat

of the dress from under the arms fall

The woman who is Mortified at the
thought of a blue serge frock with
short sleeves should take heart II she
has either a long pocketbook or pretty
elbows. In the first case she will be
able to afford long gloves, and In the
second she will soon be pleased with
Ter exceptional possession as Katlsha
vas with that famous shoulder blade
# hers, and, after all, a wool frock
With short sleeves is many degrees
more comfortable in mild weather
than one with long sleeves.
There is, however, a choice of
sleeves, for one may have them short
ened in a most abrupt fashion or they
may run to the wrist or extend just
below the elbow, which is, perhaps
the most comfortable length of the
three.
Old and Tried Friends.
Satin and tricolette are old and
tried friends as the foundation fol
the building Of one-piece frock. No
so much to be relied upon, perhaps
as serge, though It is hard to see how
any fabric could make itself more gen
orally useful than good satin. Brown
is especially good In either satin Of
tricolette and they are, Of course
often desirable in black or blue.
A chemise frock of brown trlcolett'
is ornamented by a collar and veste'
of ecru thistledew, run with brown
wool, and is a dress which any woman
who can wear brown at all would b.
delighted to own. Whether 1t woulC
be as distinguished looking in anothe
color is doubtful. There are tricolett
frocks, embroidered over their entir
surface in a delicate running patterl
in the manner with which we wer
made familiar last fall, and there az
number of effectively simple frock
In embossed tricOlette. 1t Is not IN
common to find a tricolette frocl
banded by angora or the heavy uT
standing plaits Of satin cire ribbon.
