DRESS. Dress decoration has never been gayer than now, states the Standard, London, and dress artists with one another in evolving new and original effects. There is no rule concerning the position of the decoration. One artist, may, decide that the back is the best. He is at liberty to apply it, but the wearer later realises that there is nothing so destructive to the fresh look of a frill, flounce, or how. as being upon ! Many gowns show all the trimmings massed in front. For example, a black' evening gown showed a full apron panel acrosse the front hemmed with black fur and almost covered with vivid tangerine beads and paillettes arranged in mass formation in the .surface. Another was covered with a patchwork design cxe‘culed in bits of different coloured tissues. Patchwork decora lion is (he most fashionable form of adornment. Reads, too are freely used, and wonderful mosaic designs in beautiful colours adorn smart evening gowns. Tax-* sols figure prominently in decorative schemes. An evening dress may have (lower motifs worked in coloured beads ranged round the skirt of a di mid c'licli flower centred tv ill) a pearl tassel. Long streamers arc attached to the shoulders of evening gowns, and knotted together in the centre of the back ; graceful draperies are caught, with, sparkling diamante ornaments, and velvet dresses are adorned with hand-painted designs.

BRACELET VOGUE, Jewels are worn wherever and w henever possible. .Bracelets are even crammed over the long tight-fitting sleeves of our morning frocks, says an exchange writer. Handcuff bracelets are adored for the evening, end they are made of beaten silver studded with enamel if one cannot afford platinum and paste. ROSE CHIFFON SASH. II 1 knew' that I should never have to heed such things as cleaners’ bills, never need travel in taxis, and never, never wear a frock more

than lour times, all my evening ones would lie white—at least, until 1 grew tired of the fashion, 1 writes a well-known correspondent. The new white chiffon embroidered models are a dream of loveliness. Diamond,

crystal and while chiffon ! Even our sloi-y book heroines had nothing is goud as I hat . I know now one such frock that has its embroidery'forming large triangles on each hip with a rose ehillon sash slipped through. The cloak that it goes out with in Hie evening is ol while chiffon niched over, silver Jamc shot with, rose, and the whole is collared and hemmed with rose velvet petals. Cloaks must look, as though they belong to the frocks they accompany, so it is a good plan to have lame one side and silk velvet file other with a stand-up double fur collar so that they can be reversed.
