tney 90 not overlap In any instance,
but each has its distinct part.
Small Amount Of Trimming.
AS rule, nowadays, there is not
great deal of trimming on any one
gown, but for that very reason each
bit Of it assumes an enhanced value.
The embroidery that one sees is not
so lavishly applied; it is distributed
In more or less isolated spots. The
tendency is more toward the distribu-
ton of large motifs, with big spaces
left between them. rather than to
lump them together in any one place.
But, just for an exception, in the col
lection Of Patou there are to be found
a number of embroidered trimmings
very finely done and applied in closely
set rows. Another embroidered trim
ming has pearls superimposed on a
loosely woven red wooden material,
which is, in its turn, applied as the
trimming Of a frock Of blue serge.
Many Of the designers are using
printed materials, silks and even cot
tons, out of which they pick a certain
pattern and proceed to embrolder 1t
again with threads or with beads.
Martial ct Armand have done this with
a piece of foulard printed in Persian
pattern, to which they have added GER
tain groupings Of tiny beads and out
Innings of soutache braid.
There is an original sort Of trim
ming made Of medallions of enamel in
iridescent shades Of blue and black.
They look very lovely when used for
trimming a dress Of some dark matte
rial. In fact, enamel arranged in var
ious sorts Of ornaments is very much
used by the French creators this sea-
son. Poiret uses enamel to make a
set Of cuffs for one of his costumes.
Poiret has another trimming made
of little rings of wooden material,
which, when they are grouped togeth-
err, give something the effect of edg-
ings of ostrich feathers.
Strings of Wooden Beads.
Most of the couturiers are showing
this season strings Of wooden beads in
strongly contrasting colors as red and
black, for instance. They are using,
too, collars of sheer organdle trimmed
with lace, edged with tucks or handled
in some way to enhance the effect of
its transparent texture.
Pendants and drops and acorns and
bead fringes are used now again,
though they cannot in any way be
said to dominate the trimmings mode.
Madeleine ct Madeleine use acorns to
fringe the hem of the thinnest of chif-
fon frocks. They give a qulvering look
to the thing, which is what the French
love to call amusing" The clicking
sound of these wooden beads knock
ing against each other is not the least
of their charming ways, for they
achieve in this way a certain pi-
quancy.
Again in the collection of Madeleine
ct Madeleine one sees a gown Of thin
muslin in gray, with turtle dove plumes
/ laid on fiat for trimming. They have
a street froclS, the collar Of which is
clasped by a wooden rose standing out
in bold relief, and two more Of these
flowers are placed at one side Of the
belt. On the belt Of another gown
there is an enormous cOcarde made Of
black cire satin, with a red center.
For trimming the designers love to
use rows of little fiat flowers placed
along the edges wherever 1t is posi-
Bile to use them. Sometimes they are
flowers, and again they are fruits, and
they are always most dellcately and
intricately put together.
Molyneux uses a collection Of flow
ers and fruits lacquered over for a
finish, and these he winds into gar
land to be used for trimming on a
gown wherever they feel most at home.
Lelong likes to use great flowers made
of soft pieces of leather, though he
is apt to substitute rosette Of silver
! ribbon.
