They are combined with dainty laces, touches of embroidery, and most noticeable of their trimming schemes is the profusion of heavy satin sashes and lots of lace—some forming part of the model. Colors as rich as any I have ever seen—running the gamut from delitate tints to darker tones for those who prefer. The Georgette Silk Chiffon Dresses—How shall 1 describe them? A host of the most gorgeous color combinations that artistic skill could have possibly assembled. An ample supply of deep purples toning off to delicate or- chid tints. Blue in all its variations—but be- fore I forget it, let me tell vou about the pretty thread laces, the silk velvet ribbon, moire rih- bon (you know moire is coming back strong), hand beading, yvarn embroidery, novelty stitch- ing, hemstitching, nets, inserts of contrasting colors, picot edging—it is out of the question, there are not words at my command to tell you—see them yourself. then you'll know.
