CAV and fantastic sway. On black

Russian Embroidery Popular.
Russian embroidery has not lost
prestige by its continued popularity,
and the brilliant peasant designs are
much in evidence on the Informal
frock. Chanel uses it to an even
greater extent than heretofore. Black
velvet frocks are embroidered In dull
blues and grays, with saving flash Of
crimson, in much the same manner
that unbleached muslin was made JOY
full during the summer months.
There are steel beads and beads OF
crystal and beads that rival the bril-
lance of precious stones. Sometimes
these ornamentations are the one fea-
ture of draped frock Of plain mate
rial. But, above all, there must be
quantities and quantities Of fur every
where in evidence. Bechoff uses 1t on
fine laces as well as on the heavier
fabrics, in cockades, In knots, In bands,
on short coats, on capes. Molyneux
has designed cape Of ermine, the
sides being made rarity o. the new
and interesting "sea dog" The two
furs are enerusted one upon the other
so skillfully as to give the appearance
OF one luxuriant pelt.
At Drecoll's where lace is much used
in brilliant and happy fancies, black
chantilly, which forms the body of a
huge fan. has been bordered with a
narrow edge of skunk. Jenny con-
vinces one that to carry a>muff Is to
complete ones expression and she
offers them in shapes that are round
and voluminous and fiat and square.
One is heightened by fur frill long
enough to cover the muff completely,
But when fur is not used on the street
things, there is choice to be made
from many other interesting touches.
Lelong cuts tongues of fabric in the
same cloth as the frock, brushes them
and gathers them together to form Z
belt and then loops more Of them to
gether to form wide cuff. Poiret re
