Thrills in FrilIS are to be
found when the frills are the
most important thing about an
important gown. A lovely eve
ming frock of black chiffon
made for Palm Beach has a
tiny little jacket finished at its
short waist with a tiny frill.
The frilled elbow sleeves are a
new note for spring. The shir-
ring at the hips is also finished
with another frill.
Black Magic is surely en-

Chantilly lace that fashions a
cap for evening wear. 1t is on
the order of the French peas

SMARTNEES,S' OF
BLACK AND
WHITE
By WILMA La VILE
Spring Combination Is
Recommended for
Street Wear

DLACK and white is perhaps
- the smartest combination
of tones or colors for the pres
ent season. 1t is worn by the
best dressed women you see at
luncheon, on the street, at tea.
So far it's a rather exclusive
fashion, but is gaining strength
so rapidly that We can expect
it to be very popular before
long.
This fashion started in Paris,
as most good fashions do.
Black and white as a combina-
ton is always favored by the
Parisiennes, because they con-
slider it so effective, tasteful
and becoming. This spring it's
just about as good in America
as it is in Paris, and is getting
better by the day. Black and
white used separately are smart,
and together they're even
better.
All parts of the mode are
richer for this combination. In
sportswear it's used often, in
the combination of skirt and
jacket, or in frockS with con-
trasting trimming. It's per-
haps used more for street and
general daytime clothes than
anywhere else, those attractive
little black frocks with trim
ming of white pique, ruching,
or some lingerie touch that is
so youthful, piquant and fresh
ening.
Then. for afternoon, black
gowns are good with bands,
yokes, scarfS and what not of
white. Or printed chiffons IN
black and white are good. The
newest prints show more white
than black and they may be in
either very definite designs, or
in indistinct effects. Printed
crepes in black and white are
very smart for daytime, too.
TWeedS are perhaps better in
black and white than in any
other combination. From the
Paris openings this spring come
black tweed or cloth coats with
jabot, facing or some touch of
white.
Again we find the combina-
tion carried out in accessories.
A shoe that is expected to be
good with many summer frocks,
and to have an enormous fash
ton appeal is the combination
of black and white, patent and
kid, or linen with trimming of
black. 1t will be worn for street
or sports, and for afternoon if
the type is formal enough. OF
course, this is a late spring and
summer fashion. unless the shoe
is mostly black, with a mere
suggestion of white.
Jewelry in black and white
has appeared, is smart. and
is gaining in popularity. There's
the type sponsored by Chanel,
black-Studded with rhineStones.
Then crystal and the new glass
clusters are distinctive in black
and white.
