"Welsh Bards Crown Rev. Albert Jonel Ways of embellishing clothes and of' adding to simple frocks touches that bring them into an entirely new.realm are as in<(i<>riaui as the clothes themselves ; oftentimes more so, asserts a prominent fashion authority. A great many women like little or no trimming on their clothes; otters enjoy bits of color, ribbons and laces. This Is more or less a matter of taste, and It would be making rather a strong statement to say that one is good taste and the other bad. Things of this sort depend greatly on Individual temperament. There is no reason why a woman should not have any kind of trimming she likes, especially in these days when so many kinds are offered and all are as rich In suggestion. Because one wotnan likes her clothes plain and of severe simplicity Is no reason why another should sacrifice her individuality by copying her.

But there is a cloud looming oo the horizon, heavy with the sug- ^•5 f i- A' Sv:-/w; '.i This Delightful Dotted Crepe Dress Is Charming With Its Flowing Sleeves and the Fichu of White. gestlon of the fussiness of Victorian days, when dress probably was at It3 worst. This cloud, however, may be one of commercialism--that is, dressmakers and manufacturers endeavoring to increase business by establishing altogether new styles. They have, however, one very potent fact to contend with, whlcft Is That women themselves make the fashions, and, during the last few years more than ever before, have shown their ability to do so, as well as their independence in dress. They have been most discriminating in the selections of the styles they would accept. Sleeves are worthy of an article all to themselves. Although a great deal has been written about sleeves the Surface of the subject has only been scratched. Artists In the dressmaking world apparently are jrattlng forth every effort to work out new ideas in arm covering. During the lonp time that arms were left wholly or partially uncovered each dressmaker apparently had hidden away In the recesses of his or her mind an Infinite number of ideas on this subject, which grew to Immense proportions through suppression. Novelty in Fringe 8leevs. Now we have sleeves of the Mandarin type, sleeves that are slightly flowing and have In turn wide, flowing cuffs, straight, loose sleeves of bright color set Into somber-hued frocks, others that fit to a deep armhole and fall away from the arm, leaving It bare, and that are caught in again at the wrist. But more striking than any of these are the long sleeves of fringe which Patou has brought out. These take their place in the novelty class, but are interesting as one of the many strange things being done to this part of dress. The Parisienne la tying her sash In a new way: that Is, wrapping It around her body, giving It a twist at either side by slipping the ends through the I>elt and bringing them back to be fastened in a loose knot In the front. Nothing very novel about this, you will think, but It is really a pleasing change from the monotony of the way women have been tying string belts or wide sashes. It must be said that in a simple matter such as this very little originality has been shown, it would seem that hundreds of different ways of knotting a sash might have been thought of. In countries where the sash always has played an Important part In native dress the way in which it Is tied is significant of many things. Writing of high collars is about as discouraging as designing' them. During the last two years much time has been spent on both. Still, nobody has taken to high collars with any amount of enthuslasn); in fact, they rarely are seen. But collars of the type referred to and which are somewhat of^ a compromise between the.high and low collar, have been In evidence of late. Sometimes the turnover part Is much more exaggerated, like a wide Eton collar. These are quite becoming and are likely to enjoy considerable popularity among the younger women. Contemplation of collars in general gives one a feeling of surprise that there has not been more change. Women must consider the mwjjotonous neckline so long in evidence very becoming, otherwise Ihey would have ac- I cepted some of the many tilings offered j them. It would seem that the time I is about ripe for some changes In this direction. Fringes of self material are featured prominently on many of the autumn tiofhes. Both cloth and crepe frocks have a novel fringe trimming achieved by running rows of hemstitching along cascading panels, the sleeves, or even the Wfcjfjni of the skirts, and slashing the hemstitching to form fringe, which, of course, leaves a pleot edge on each strand of the material. Such a treatment Is used on the French dress. It seems impossible to get away from fringe In one form or another. All of the great dressmakers still are using It. A model from Doeuillet has fringe applied to a back tunic and a tuft of It OQ the short ends of a belt knotted In the front. On this model we see another form of {rimming which sprang Into prominence this summer; that Is the embroidery pattern made by perforations. As in most perforated cloths, a bright, contrasting lining Is used. Here the dress Is of black and the lining revealed through the large eyelajlft Is bright red.

As It falls from the shoulders, a" cascading effect is given at either side, thus revealing the contrasting lining. Designing clothes la approaching more and more the Imminence of a fine art. The sources from which deslners gather the Ideas that go intc dress are as Interesting as they are varied. ^ America ts showing a growing Interest In costume design, and It Is a question as to whether, in time, this growing Interest will not tend to make us rival Paris In fashion supremacy. Little by little we are relying on the ability of our Own designers to create distinctive modes with less dependence on what they are wearing in Paris, and the time may not be far distant when the world will look with respect and concern to see what America Is wearing. The director of one of our great American fashion academies, when interviewed recently, had much to say in praise of the ability of the young American designer. A successful costume designer must be responsive to the motifs and ideas to be found In the dress and arts of ancient times. The classic Greek dress Is perhaps richer in suggestion than "the costume of other ancients. This Is because of the beauty that the Greeks obtained through simplicity. Satin for Blouses.
