Nothing can be more simple and yet
there is something fascinatingly new
about them The brilliant peasant en-
brOideries in red. black and white and
cut-out work form a shallow yoke
trimming and the fairly wide girdle
and also edge the sleeves. Below the
very short black crepe de chine sleeves
is an underpuff of white muslin, which
comes to the elbow. Here, again, is
another quaint old-fashioned idea
white muslin undersleeves coming out
from a black crepe de chine dress.
Rolande has very successfully
launched among the younger set a
dress called Arlequin, which is de-
veloped in black satin and black crepe
geOrgette. This is a curious though
simple dress, and owes its name to
the taggy vOlantes or little V-shaped
flounces which edge the sharply cut
triangular panels that pop out all over
the skirt, bodice and shoulders Of this
novel little frOck. A bit of color Is in
trOduced in a narrow glrdle of twisted
velvet, usually bright yellow. Smart
young women, who frequent the pOpu-
lar dancing places, are wearing this
/ dress. Like everything else in Paris,
a fashion which is a success is fright
fully Overdone But for all that, the
Parisienne takes great personal pride
in the success Of the moment, no mat
ter how many times it is repeated.
Afternoon costumes in black and
white are topped by the large black
hats Of the type beloved by English
painters of the old school. These hats
are just the loveliest things that ever
were, but they must be reserved for
! the woman who has leisure to attend
| formal afternoon functions. They can
not find a place in the busy life of the
average modern woman who, more
and more, is going in for business or
politics,
The flowing veil of black chantilly
! finds a logical resting place on such
a hat and adds greatly to the picture
A very large hat Of black tulle may
have a trailing veil of chantilly lace
! falling well below the waistline in tho
front as well as in the back.
Even children have not escaped the
vogue for black and white. Although
| the more conservative of us may not
care for a black or black and white
frock on little tot, preferring to see
| such combinations reserved for theil
mothers, there is no gainsaying the
smartness of these little dresses
brought out by some of our greatest
| dressmakers.
There are many women who never
wear large hats no matter how strong
| ly they may be emphasized by fashion
These viii welcome joyfully the close,
fitting turbans of black satin that al,
ready are forecast for spring.
