THE REIGN OF THE ROSE.
Though flowers of all kinds are fashionable this year, and marigolds and nasturtiums are seen as trimmings to orangecoloured evening frocks, yet the rose, queen of flowers, is supreme. Big pink chiffon roses are sewn in a row along the hem of bouffant dance frocks; roses form the patterns of wonderful brocade lames and shot tissues; a single rose is worn on the shoulder, at the waistline, or is carried in the hand. Baskets of roses form a favourite design for applique trimming. There are roses of velvet, ribbon, satin, silver, and gold tissue, leather, shell, and of coral and rhinestones. Roses “touched with frost” formed the delightful collar to an evening wrap of old rose chiffon velvet.
