brocades showed brilliant color
full effects, and not content to be
colorful in themselves, were COM
bined with velvets Of rainbow
hue and with luxurious furs.
Some of the loveliest cloaks
were fashioned from cerise or
crimson, and that rich red we cali
wine, and were heavily and
elaborately embroidered. The con-
trast Of these brilliant reds with
the wraps of ermine was regal.
Metal fabrics have invaded the
outer garment world for even
ing. and appear at their best
when elaborated by the addition
of bands or collars and cuffs
of dark fur.
When candles glow and pyriads
of electric lights are turned on
nothing could be lovelier than
metal cloths. They catch and
hold in their resplendent folds
all the brilliancy of the light,
and then reflect it back again
in bewildering sparkles.
PERHAPS it is due to this
scintillating process that many
women choose metal ribbon head
dresses. Close fitting bandeaux
are the rule for the festivities of
the evening hours, and flowers
and feathers please only a few.
Wreaths of gold and silver
leaves. the favorites of last year.
retain their popularity. and have
been copied in velvet and taffeta.
And for the ingenue are tiny
bandeaux Of roses and Dolly
Warden ribbon effects.
A recent house party wedding
showed the picturesque effect of
the wide silver band for the young
miss. Two girls, unusually pretty
twins. were gowned in almond
taffeta, silver ribbon, wrapped
tight about in rather high
fashion. Delightfully."- quaint and
piquant describes the arrange
ment.
To match the pearl embroid-
cred gowns are head dresses
formed of the beads. and these
are divided into two classes. The
first class favOrs the coronet
style and is pleasingly severe.
The other allows strands of the
beads to fall over the ears in an
Oriental fashion.
This style of allowing the beads
to form the trimming was em-
ployed in an adorable hat just
over from Paris. The hat was
one of those delightful turbans
that seem to grow best on French
soil, and was made of folds OF
the most brilliantly lovely Per-
sian silk.
w RAfFED ABOUT like the folds
of Hindu's turban, the
folds were caught at the left side
front by an ornament in a beaded
whirl design. This ornament
terminated in strings of beads
that dangled in a manner en-
dangering the lady's eyesight.
But who wouldn't sacrifice an
eye for style?
1t is rather a task to draw
ones attention from such a fas-
cinating chapeau, but the frock
that accompanied it was attrac-
tive to a quality that would meri.

THE three-piece suit is so pleas

again about the subject. Es-
pecially so when the suit is as
lovely as the one that came in
the same trunk with the Oriental
