dercoat of black and white crepe
de Chine. This latter is held to-
gether by a tie-belt of the plain
silk and is attached to the outer
garment at the neckline only.
1t is evident throughout these
models that, despite the widely d.
vergent effects, there is at least
a similarity in the tools of the de-
signer. The scarf has achieved its
predicted popularity-pleats are
rarely absent, and flounce, tunic
or panel appears on all but the
most rigidly plain silhouette. The
short skirt, adapted in modified
length in this country, is also an
unfailing note. So that Fashion,
while subject to the most liberal
interpretations in this spring of
1924, has nevertheless, blazed a
very definite trail which must al
ways be kept in sight by the mod
ish woman of the season.

Without characterization;

The Callot Souers collection, al
ways eagerly awaited, while intro
ducing no new line, has laid par
ticular emphasis on fabric and
elaboration for the spring. The
silhouette remains practically the
same-straight - and although
this house shows several full
skirted dresses deliberately trim
med and others with apron dra-
peries and flowing panels, the
general trend is toward long and
slender lines.
Many models in straight chem

Lace has made a triumphant re-
entry into the domains of Fashion.
Merely suggested last spring, it
remained for the present season to
witness it as a dominating feature
of the evening mode.
Black is easily the favored
color and is smartly combined
with red trimmings. Chanel is a
particular adberent of this COM
bination and shows many exem-

Cheruit also features formal
frocks of black lace. An interest
ing dinner dress from this de-
signer is developed in black lace
over black satin. Across the front
there are four tiers of accordion
pleated lace flounces, while the
back of the dress is split its entire
length and a soft rolling cape
like collar of the lace falls from
bateau neck.
A dress of black lace and black
tulle was christened Nah Jongg by
the enterprising Georgette. The
only touch of color on this gown,
which features flowing panels
hung from a low waist at the
front, is an emerald green orna-
ment placed in the center of a
tulle girdle that crosses the front
only.
