Goldland Silver
\ Hand Embroidery

There probably has never been
time when handwork was more used
on clothes than at present, including
the popular embroidery in gold and
silver, which is really very easy to
do when once the nature of the ma
terials used is understood. The gold
or silver cord, known as bullion,
which forms the basis of much of
this work, is the material used by
the makers of uniforms and can be
purchased from them. Bullion can
be cut into different lengths and ap-
piled to a design by sewing through
the hollow part, as you would string
beads. The pieces of the bullion are
laid on a design in the same way
that stitches are laid in embroidery,
and much of the artistic effect is
produced by the varying angles at
which the stitches are laid. Another

skirt lengths never remain station
ary and they could hardly change by
becoming shorter-that is, no possi-
BILE gain in smartness could be made
thereby. The curtailed skirt has
ceased to arouse interest.
On the other hand, there is no
very great eagerness on the part of
women to lengthen their skirts. At
some Of the winter resorts you see
certain women, we'll known matrons,
who are wearing longer skirts. but
they are those women who personally
held out against the ch-shortened
skirt. II you have held out because
you thought them either ugly or in
decent you doubtless feel a certain
satisfaction in thinking that you are
in the vanguard of fashion when
you wear your skirts six inches
longer than your neighbors. Just at
present we are wondering how long
before the army of well dressed
women will catch up with this van
guard.
From Paris you may have heard
that Carlos is making her skirts six
inches longer than she did last fall.
And you hear there. as you do here,
that longer skirt. are coming. Yet
IL you went about with tape
measure you would have little data
on which to base your proof that they
already are shorter.
There is an absence of contrasting
embroideries in the spring suits.
often there is wool embroidery to
match the material of the suit or
in a tone only very little lighter
or darker. Braid is used sparingly.
Beads are no more. In the better
suits there Is an absence of dan
Cling bits of hardware in the way

suits are self-trimmed. to use a

suit has been used to make braids

toward figured and brightly con-

several seasons past.

she leaves unsatisfying passages. and
gives an impression Of carelessness or

she is invariably herself, and all her

w YHEN tho men and women
NNf who furnish the brains and
initiative in the great in
dustry that produces wom-
ems clothes talk about fashions they
have q way Of going back to war
days. 1t is so when they talk Of suits.
In France, as here, suits. whether
strictly tailored or otherwise, were
very largely the product of man Ia
bor. Though women might design
them. it was the man cutter and
the man tailor who made them. In
Paris these men were usually French.
German or Italian. In that never
to-be-forgotten summer of 1914 1t
was the Frenchmen In this army Of
workers who hrst laid down their
ahears and needles to take UP arms.
The Germans followed closely. to re-
turn willy-nilly to the fatherland.
and then the Italians. either to re-
turn home or to join ranks with the
French.
The woman workers who remained
could, Of course, have made suits,
though not so well as the men, at
least until they became expert. But
this was not the simplest. most eco
uomical solution to the problem. 1t
WAS characteristic of the way the
when they simply gave up suits
Separate frocks, worn with capes
when the weather required--gar-
ments both that could be made by
women-became the universal street
attire Of French women.
or course, some of the tailors re-
Turned to their benches, but the
women of Paris have not returned to
suits. There were distinct advan-
faEes. as they see things, in the mode
Of wearing frocks and wraps.
There are many American women
, who apparently have eliminated suits
from their wardrobes-many OF these
women who have spent much time
during and since the war days in
Paris. The dressmakers here who
most closely follow French dress
tendencies and who supply the needs
of women who look most narrowly
to Paris as the source of all dress
Inspiration speak of suits as hardly
of consequence at all any more.
To be sure. some Of the French
dressmaking houses are designing
ana turning out suits largely Tor
The only suit that seems to be of
much Importance for the French
woman Is the sport suit, which, by
the way. Is looked upon. even in Its
