mere shawl frock is not over.
Women of position wear it. 1t is
one Of the dominant Indian touches
Of the season.
Pieces Of Indian shaw1s are no
longer patched on frocks or jackets
possibly that fashion is finished
but the loose, one-piece frock, COM
pletely Indian in its accessories, is
almost startling and quite worth imi-
tating.
A good one worn at an afternoon
tea-dance was in dull red. the Simla
color, with not too strident designs
flowing over 1t. The hip sash was
q mass Of bright green ribbons, held
in by a large malachite ornament
at one side. The necklace of green
beads was matched by pendant ear
rings, and the turban was made of
the gown fabric. the high Indian
drapery run through by a malachite
pin.
Molyneux's Indian Jacket is quite
a success with Americans. 1t brings
memories Of Poiret's minaret tunic
before the war. 1t IL not shaped
after the manner OF the cashmere
shawl jumper Jacket, which was the
success Of the spring races. That
had tight hip band: this one has
its opposite, haring tunic Of con-
spieuous proportions. Also 1t is part
OF suit. 1t is not separate gar
ment.
The material is black velvet, but
wine-colored velvets will be used to
get a richer. warmer effect. The skirt
once had flares on the side to match
the Jacket. but Molyneux decided to
take them out and keep the skirt
straight and somewhat narrow. This
Is an improvement. The jacket is in
one piece. goes over the head. is en-
broidered in dull gold threads, with
small punches OF color and carries
a narrow belt at the hips. This idea
| Is repeated in bright green and red
ribbon as Molyneux intends to do much
decorating with ribbons in primary
colors. He also uses great placques
of silver and onyx to catch belts and
girdles.
His new belts are curiously made
| Of strands of colored beads. some
| times supporting large red roses that
| look like wax. Violet beads. steel
links. lacquer, red leather strands
are among the things put together
to make conspicuous hip decoration

| AN alluring Indian belt has been
- worn recently by a young girl
from New York with a gray wool
jerseyt frock. 1t was made of large.
| thick medallions Of carved and beaten
silver. linked with silver loops. The
color Of the Jersey was elephant gray
and 1t actually fitted her about as well
as an elephants skin fits him. 1t
| wrinkled and doubled up. yet the ef-

doubt it.
This girl had the goodness to fasten
| the rolling fronts Of the frock with
a huge jade pin set in silver and add
| long string Of Jade beads. When
| it came to choosing her hat she also
did well. 1t was of mauve felt. sur

ly little wings in green, red and bright
yellow.
