The fringe is looped from the front to the back panel, while strands of fringe are also attached on the corsage. These long tassels of American Beauty intensify the rich color of the gown. The gold and sil- ver bugle belt is another touch that lends color to this éreation. : Another of fashion's fancies is depicte in the string of pearls set closely up under the chin. In Paris, that great fashion centre, women are taking pearls out .of their necklaces so that they can have them made tight enough to stay in place. This seems rather strange, as it has been the vogue for so long to add pearls to one's neeklace. It is quite a pretty fashion, and as it has the merit of novelty it will no doubt be affected by women who delight in following the whims of fashion. Use of Fringe "A particularly attractive frock for day- time wear reveals another of the manifold uses of fringe. This dress is made of shiny --black , meteor and possesses the t appeal to so many of the best-gar women. The neckline is pleasing and the short sieeves are admir- able for present wear. A suggestion of a joke is given by the This style of stitchery is one that is exceedingly well- liked at present and is used with excellent results on Hany of the dainty frocks that will be worn during the summer season. On some it assumes the form of a decora- ion, in closely 'allied or wi ell as silks. of faggoting are two is combined with the meteor. ds an opportunity for the use of a contrasting color and fab- ric, #0 I'have made an underslip of beige that look unusually ° crepe. Its delicate tones are partly sub- dued by the fringe that extends from the faggoting to the hem, for the black meteor is cut out under the fringe. As I have already said, the ways of using fringe are innumerable and in the gown that completes the group I show another most interesting method. This dress is originated in black meteor, I have, however, used what we commonly call the wrong side of the material, as its dull texture appeals to me far more strong- ly than its shiny surface, for this particu- lar creation. Very simple in line, the skirt is practi- cally covered with the fringe, which is put on in storied style. However, asthe lower ends are free the fringe swings from side to side, so that one may occasionally glimpse the black meteor of the dress. The fringe on this model is not put on in the usual way, with the band at-the top, but each thread is drawn through the ma- ' terial, giving an uneven line. The tassel is also made of fringp, which. is slipped through a white ivory ring. Rhe little hat is of white felt and has clustered pond lilies at its sides. In other kingdoms of dress there is much of interest to chronicle. Fashion still favors the knit dress and some of the prettiest models are made from combina- tions of silk and wool. Such frocks in slip-over type frequently show very intri- cate patterns and ofttimes they are done in two tones. Sometimes this is varied by the use of two contrasting colors. One interesting costume of jade green has strips of brown--both narrow and wide--on the skirt. The neck is also out- lined with a band of the brown. 'This serves to trim the narrow belt and short sleeves. In this model the jade fs of silk and the brown strips are of wool. Many of these jumper frocks have Sleeves, and d some are finished with roll col are decidedly reminiscent of the mannish sweater. Among the clothes for sports wear gay eolors are deci prominent. Interest- ing shadow plaids in soft-textured fabrics are admirably adapted to the smart suit for country wear.

Color, too, is prominent in the new line gerie. Radium, crepe back satin and georgette are wrought into the most de- lectable creations. There are, too, many pleasing touches in these charming crea- tions that will be of interest not only to the woman who may make her selections in the most exclusive shops where such garments are found, but also to the girl who likes to make her own lingerie. Plenty of Ruffles One lovely set in rose georgette shows a lavish use of lace. The gowh is designed with a low, square cut decollétage. is is devoid of sleeves, but a dainty edging of lace outlines the armholes and decollet- age. The empire waistline is defined by a turquoise blue ribbon that is threaded through hand-made buttonholes. Ruffles of wide lace are attached about the knee line, and from a few inches below this point they fall in cascade style to the hem. Similar ruffles appear on the sides of bloomers and chemises.
