are being done in carrying to the last
degree of perfection the combining Of
colors. Then, there is the practice Of
setting off deep color against white
and this, having been done by the
French, has been taken up by the
American designers to the end that
some of the most interesting frocks
of the season have been developed
In one type Of organdie frock the
organdie itself is light blue, and, al
though there is a wide fichu to make
the upper part of the bodice as be-
coming as possible, there is skirt
provided with an extra fullneSs upon
which is superimposed a series of me-
dallions made up of embroidered or
candle interspersed with lace. This
embroidery is all done by hand with
the utmost care and attention Only
the French can do it, for in this coun-
try we are too hurried to give our
time to anything so exquisite. These
medallions in all possible shapes can
be bought by the single item so that
they may be inserted In the general
makeup of the dress without the
slightest trouble.
Present Style Tendencies.
The dress embellished with square
medallions of embroidered handwork
is one Of those which exhibits the pres
ent style tendencies with the utmost
grace and skill. 1t has within It's
limitations all of the elements of the
present style. There is the full skirt;
there are the hand-embroidered motifs;
there is the belt wound around until
1t looks like a veritable rope; and
there is the fichu which gives the
dress the style tendency which marks
it as product of the present season.
Any one of these points would be
sufficient to make one dress look
smart enough to join the procession Of
the leaders of the season, but this one
possesses all of them in marked de-
gree. It's color is a light blue, which
has with it mixture of green that is
most alluring. Then the medallions,
which are square, are made up Of
mixture of cream-white filet combined
with inserted bits of embroidered or
candle. AS for the bet, one Of those
which accentuates the waistline, it is
made up of twisting of a wide sill
YER ribbon with a strand of black
velvet ribbon. 1t is a thick twist
which makes the waistline look as,
wide as possible and which, at the
same time, provides a decorative Ell
feet. 1t is combined with the dress,
made up of combination of light blue
and white with all the subtle bits of
hand stitching and embroidery and
futing that it is possible to imagine.
There is another organdie dress with
full side panels which are embroidered
along their lower edges. This is made
Of one of those new shades of Or
candle which have given to yellow a
place in the realm of fashion which
was never accorded to it before. Now
the frock is made all of yellow. The
ornamentatiOr around the throat line
is done with puffings of the same yell
low Organdie. The side panels on the
skirt are embroidered in cream
white which manages to adapt itself
with the general color scheme so that
1T shall be a distinct part Of the
whole. The underskirt is shorter than
the full side panels, and as this is one
of the style characteristics of the
season, it is exactly in tune with the
rest of the garments that are being
created by the foremost designers.
Around the waistline there is the
simplest possible arrangement of a
black velvet ribbon in a narrow width,
the only touch of black about filmy
dress. which, in all other respects, is
Of the slightest and most incense
quential of materials. All Of the rest
Of the gown is made of yellow and
cream white. And this one hint of
black about the waistline serves to
give it that touch which is just the
note to set off the whole design.
