SCALLOPS ARE MODISH.
The Paris dressmakers arc so much in love with scallops as trimmings that many of the latest models are masses of scallops from neck to hem! An evening frock of eau-de-nil georgette is made of row upon row of scalloped flouncings, put on with just enough fullness to give play where it is needed, and every scallop is trimmed with tiny loops of crystal beads. These models are expensive, because the trimming must be done by hand, but the amateur might copy them quite successfully, and at small cost. The scallops used to edge the fashionable evening coat may either be bound with supple gold or silver braid, or they may be edged with tiny bands of fur. The scalloped coat is useful in that it permits the gown beneath to be seen between the scallops themselves, and is, therefore, more becoming to the figure than the coat that ends in a straight line.
