SERGE OR SATIN :,
FOR MID-SEASON

frocks are almost sure TO be embroId-
cred, at least those which are shown
now are so trimmed. This is an en-
br0idery that can show originality, and
there Is the best of chances for dis
tinctive gown when taste is employed
of the embrolderles are done by hand,
OF course; they show all cOlors Of the
rainbow combined I'm one narrow
strip. The Oriental quality Of these
stitchings Is most charming. and, with
the darkness and plalnness and rich
ness Of a background of blue serge,
they have the character of uttermOst
flneness. A few hand stitches can go
a great way In this particular, espe-
cially II they are cleverly distributed
and II their colors are chosen with a
view to making the most Of q small
space.
Wooden Stitches Effective.
Wooden stitches on blue serge or
tricotine, or on any OF these materials
that In some way resemble one anoth-
er, are as effective as anything can
be. and on many OF the newer fall
frocks they are seen. Red is the color
that does the most In this respect.
There are some serge dresses that
show only long red wooden stitches,
with here and there stray motif to
accentuate the idea Of the color com
blnation. Then there are others which
are more lavishly worked up in this
same color combination. 1t is a COM
binatlon that carries an appeal be-
cause OF Its cheerfulness.
Embrolderies following the Rou-
manlan designs or those from Czecho-
Slovalkia are the most popular. II Is
the strip OF many colors that has the
FIRST place In fashionable trimmings,
and, applied TO the frock OF blue
serge, certainly shows beauty and
wealth Of its texture. A frock Of
blue serge. one OF the very newest TO
be seen anywhere. has n high girdle
sort OF belt curved in front to width
greater than ut any other place around
the waist. This strip Is embroidered
solidly In reds and greens and pur-
pies. Then. to repeat this brilliant bit
of color. there are bands at the hips,
each about two and a half inches
broad and twelve inches long. They
are applied so that they hold extra
side fullness for the skirt. The neck
of the frock is plainly finished by a
cord. and the sleeves are ended In
the same way. so that oil the trim
mlngs are gathered about the waist
and the hips. II is n novel grouping
OF embroidered strips, and Il Is beau
tiful as an example OF what can be
done with a small amount OF en-
broldered trimming cleverly applied.
Beading on blue serge-and on
satin. for the matter OF that-crltlclzed
not long ago as not going well togeth-
er, Is still ''going strong" one might
say. This only goes TO prove that the
American woman wants what she
wants when she wants II and win not

Red Belts and Bindings
Red belts and red bindings and red
faclngs are popular with the newer
blue serge frocks. These touches 20
a long way toward providing that nee
essary element OF style. One little
girl nt tea In a gay hotel lad a blue
serge frOck with a short and very full
skirt, like the Parlslennes are wearing.
The bodice was short and tightly 1T

was n handsomely steel-studded red
leather belt not more than nm inch
wide. And with this she wore a fuzzy
turban of yellowish tan beaver cloth

head. She had tied this on with tan.
