The Triumph Of Black


The Triumph Of Black
Black is again supreme. II woman
wants to be fashionable she has to be
in black; in any case her hat must be
black even II 1t is worn with another
color. Beige is the second most "a
vored color. It is often seen combined
with brown. Brown, too, Is accepted,
and a little grey. Goats follow the
rules of dresses. However, in order
not to look absolutely as If they were
ready for a funeral women very often
wear on the black background scarf
or large handkerchief of vivid tones
which gives gay note to the en-
semble. Rose Descat has nice,
choice Of crepe de chine scarfs en-
broidered in vivid multicolor designs
of Russian inspiration. She shows
also long scarfs of reps de sole in
brown colorings embroidered in bril-
liant silk with geometric designs In a
lighter or darker tone to match the
background.
Black and White for Summer
We will see much black and white
for the summer. One of the newest
models is a little tailor-made with a
white paletot sac in grain de poudre"
Ia sort of poplin), bordered with
three rows of black and white check
designs, worn over skirt of the
same material and giving a rather
amusing effect. Many black dresses
have white lingerie collars, or ermine
trimmings. expect, also to see many
black and white hats.
For the Evening White Is the
"DernIer cri"
1t is fact that one sees more and
more white evening dresses. They
are very simple, but In a rather low
point at the back, while the decollete
is round and much higher In front;
they have no belt and three 1ounces
slightly cut on the cross are disposed
all around the skirt from knee to bot
tom. Even for evening wear the
skirts are much shorter than last
year, some of them are already too
short again, which is a sign that the
waist line (if it exists at alD will be
raised too, nothing being more I'M
graceful than very long bodice with
very short skirt.
Another kind of white dress which
is fashionable is white crepe four
reau bordered with long white silk
fringes irregularly rolled up from the
hips to the bottom of the skirt. They
may be sleeveless, but some of them
have short sleeves bordered with long
fringes or the whole sleeve is made
in fringes.
1t is a new vogue to appear all
draped in tulle scarf. Some are
worn quite plain, but have seen a H.
lac one worn over pink dress and
bordered with small bands Of skunk.
These scarfs are also made in crepe
georgette, and the colors are chosen
to make a nice ensemble with the
dress, not necessarily matching the
gown but often in a different tone,
like violet over pink, white on pale
pink, etc.
Jaequettes for Girls
To give variety to the omnipresent
jacquette, an excellent use for 1t has
been inaugurated In the young girls
apparel for fall. Like the models de-
signed for grown-ups, these youthful
jacQuettes are fitted across the front
in diagonal manner and tied in q

with streamers falling almost to the
hem Of the skirt. A tailored cloche
hat, worn with this costume, Is trim
med simply with a ribbon bow taken
from the same bolt as that on the
jacquette.
A New Hair Bow
Quaintness and sim plicity combine
in the new hair bow made for little
girls. appropriately named the "Pris-

bon about three inches wide, drawn
across the front OF the hair and trim
med at both ends with small bows of
the same ribbon. Elastic, covered
with shirred ribbon, fits underneath
the hair in the back. The Priscilla"
