value, yet despite their intricate effect,
their method Of development is simple,
and any woman blessed with patience and
the ability to do needlework will find her
self capable Of reproducing any Of the
fashionable decorations
Then there are the fancy braids and
ribbons to supplement the labors Of the
home-dre shaker. One Of the most novel
Of the advance designs Is in navy-blue
silk serge trimmed with plaid silk ribbon.
The checks which form the plaid are
quite small and the colors are cheerful
and unusual, without offending the lovers
Of quiet effects. They combine fuchsia
with very dark blue, black and green.
Bands Of the ribbon are applied in panel
effect on the skirt and are repeated on
the flowing sleeves, both at the end Of
the dropped shoulder and the wrists.
Necllines make it a point to aocentu-
ate girlish effects, so that they fire.
quently sacrifice the collar and make an
alliance with the dropping shoulder
Many. in fact nearly all Of the frocks
for Spring, will be worn with neckpieces
Of fur, so that the fabric collar is not
really necessary. An effective use Of
braid is featured on an afternoon dress
Of old-rose crepe, being used to outline
the bateau neck. The braid is in two
shades of rose, both darker than the
crepe, and is repeated on the sleeves and
the lower edge Of the skirt. A trimming
Of this kind may be machine-stitohed or
put on by hand. Another simple process
is to couch il down with rope-silk or gold
or silver thread. COUGHING is quick and
effective and, no matter how limited the
experience in needlework, can be done
successfully after a very little effort
A more elaborate braiding that may
be developed in braid or beads, or both,
is in one Of the new shades OF henna
on a background of dark-blue French
serge At the sides are gathered panels
which are lined with henna Georgette
and this note of color is introduced
again in the sleeve and girdle lining. The
| sleeves are quite full and supply a hand
some basis of work for the border OF
braid. The waist is placed slightly be-
/ low normal. In the modes for Spring
waist-lines have been slightly modified
and instead OF being extremely low, they
are worn at whatever point that make:
the wearer appear 10 best advantage.
! Broadcloth is the aristocrat OF fabric
trimmings always simple and unerringly
elegant. Il is used often 20 embelist
straight-line frocks of check serge anc
| flannel. The design Of the dress may
he ever so quiet, but as a rule the trim
ming is bright and spirited-not neces
sarily gaudy. For instance, on a tan-and
brown check flannel made on the straight

in the costume is the novelty belt of bead
and metal rings
Side drap ,ries that fall in cascades a
the side of the skirt, extending below thi
hem in points that look like pennants
are exceedingly de rigueur for Afternoon
gowns. For these frocks, the paste
