There were few women who cared TO
accept such an extreme movement In
dress. 80 these were soon replaced by
a short, tight skirt falling below a
long tunic. The tunlc did not allow
more than few inches of the under
skirt to show. A great deal stiI is
made OF skirts of this type. The peas
ant or chemlse type of overdress
girdled at a low waistlIne has passed
through many evolutions.
There is great variety In the en-
broideries from this new republic. as
many different peasant peoples have
been thus brought together. A domi-
nant note Is the black and white en-
broideries. which may be, according to
the original MoravIan dress from
which they are taken, either black on

black and white. This is another thing
which goes to prove the far-reachlng
effects of a fashion rich In ideas.
Launching such style is like throw.

widen continually. Each maker OF
clothes gets her Individual impression.
Very lovely new dresses for tea
dances are being developed In black
with white embroideries, or In white
with black. One OF the most inter
esting frocks Of this type has the
new long sleeves. the high stock col
lar and the black embroidery on white.
Heavy white crepe de chine Is a
favorite fabric for black embroiderles.
And what could be more effective than

to accentuate the side panels. These

the professional dressmaker, can see
the possibilities In this model. A very
