are especially interesting because they are considered as hints for springti1r1e to be tried out at the Winter resCE,5 B. Two-tone effects and bright colors are featured.

 A dark green taffeta, which may be reproduced in any other material, IS trimmed99with fancy braid which combines the gay colors of the Orient with occasional touches of gold. The dress closes at the darts on the shoulders in front. Braid outlines the round neck and appears again on the three-quarter length flowing sleeves The blouse is in Moyen Age effect and to 1t is attached straight gathered skirt which is stitched with series of straight bands, edged with braid and tucked under at the lower edge. A very soft girdle is worn with the frock. In fact soft girdles are strongly emphasized on the majority of Moyen Age models. They are made of satin panne velvet or similar supple fabrics which lend them selves to clever manipulation.
 The latest silks are characterized by all of the softness demanded by present modes. Among the foulards one finds | fanciful designs in floral and futuristic patterns d1lu IOuldld uSSd lSt SOilIC ceptionally clever separate blouses made in kirnono style with the adjustment at the back. These blouses may be used separately or worn with skirts of satin, taffeta or velvet in costume effect. Soft taffetas in two-tone effects are frequently trimmed with bands of braid or en. | broidery featuring the tones of the silk. l On one charming model consisting of a straight gathered skirt and long -walsted | kimono blouse, the trimming bands, five l in number, run round and round the skirt, l being repeated on the waist i'll the same arrangement. Vertical bands of the decoration which outline the square neck, break the round outline, however. and give variety to the trimming. The lower edge of the blouse and the short sleeves are trimmed with deep hounces of accor- dion plaited chiffon.

The en- | broidery designs are usually quite large and the eyelets of considerable size, so that they work up quickly. Done in scattered casually about gathered tucked-under skirt, the eyelet garniture is lovely. One design for each sleeve and one for the vest are sufficient for the blouse decoration.
