designs most prominently featured on
dresses OF duvetyn, velour, veldyne and
similar fabrics. Lovely indeed is a rich
dark blue broadcloth frock with an over
blouse of seli-material and a four-pece
skirt laid in plaits at the side The under
body, which may be of lining or silk, has
attached to II kimono sleeves with flare
cuffs that are handsomely embroidered
with rope silk, though the pattern Of the
embroidery is. exceedingly simple. The
trimming on the cuffs is repeated on the
skirt at each side, taking the place OF a
hem. Blue satin outlines the large arm
holes and round neck of the overblouse.
Satins, satin-faced fabrics, velvets and
velours are embroidered as never before

is banded with gray fur, not necessarily
expensive, and the fronts roll back tC
form revers. Narrow bands Of braid
ornament the revers, the collar being o
self-material and without decoration.
Braid asserts its neutrality, but is dis
covered in many entangling alliances
One sees il in combination with fur, en-
broidery, inserted garnitures and, in fact

decoration. The trimmings in which
braid appear, however, are always
characterized by dignity and good taste.

is scalloped and stitched with white silk
braid.
