HEN one fine point of a collar or a cuff or a bit of lacey, fixing is wrong about a frock, then the whole costume might just as well be awry. The small things are the ones that count most. Your suit can be really quite shabby, but if your shoes are right, your gloves intact, your hat and veil Jauntily placed and becoming, your collar freshly laundered—why who in the world is going to look at th» state ef your suit. Now, the girls who realize this lit- tle, unpretentious ruling of dress are the ones who always attract that rentence of admiration: ‘‘She is s0 well dressed.’’ But how frequently the accoutre- ments of dress change! One cannot wear the collar this year which was fashionabl«: last year. There is where the attention must be fixed—upon the fine points of dress. Negligee of Chiffon. Out of a square of chiffon many a ravishing negligee is made these days. To the uninitiated they may look in- tricate and difficult to cut and drape, when as uw matter of fact, most of them are cut from the simplest, straightest piece of material and re laid over the shoulders in the most casual manner with clever little tricks applied to make places for the heal and arms to come through. In the picture there is to be seen one of these simple little. intimate gowns. First there is an underslip of salmon-colored chiffon all delicately accordion pleated to give that fluffi- ness and grace which every girl wants in the things that she wears about her own room. Then, over that thin foundation there falls a haze of light violet chiffon loosely held about the waist with a ribbon to add a little deeper tone of violet. Now the colors in this graceful gar- ment are its greatest charm. You can see at a giance that the rest of it is nothing but a mere length of fabric. Yet it is one of the prettiest things that a girl could hope to possess. Boudoir Caps of Lace. When your hair is ali mussed after a hard day and you really don't want to go to all the trouble of fixing it over try wearing a boudoir cap and puffing the hair out underneath its lacey edges. This little trick has made many a girl proud of herself again after a look in the mirror had halfway discouraged her. Thera is something about the feminine grace of a frilly cap that carries cheer with it for the girl who wears it. And then there is no denying the fact that she usually looks her best when something so fluffy frames her face. There are two caps in the pictures on this page. One of them is miuade of pleated lace frills with a wide bow of satin ribbon across the very front A few. little rosebuds are twined in -with the ribbon and the little house hat is complete. The other one is made of hand embroidered mull all tightly held about the face with a ribbon drawn in and out through the lace. There are ribbon roses too to make the trimming complete, and the little Dutch cap is perfect on the Dutch cut hair. Matchstick Hats. They call the new hat trimming matchsticks, and even whole hats ar made from the tiny things Perhaps they are not really matclisticks, but s 2 — * * There Is a Pattern of Parisian Handwork on the Pleated Gown of Mull Shown in the Upper Photo- graph.

They are just the size of a large match and they are painted until they shine brilliantly. Then they are arranged in bunches to make stiff pom-pom trimmings, or they are gathered into irregular masses to make a pointed sort of trimming. And when they form a whole hat they stick away from the foundation in quite an independent manner, their little tips being dipped in a contrast- ing color to give that note of con- trast. There is a hat of this sort made of bright red matchsticks, with little black glossy tips on all to form the trimming. Wrist Chains. You have noticed, of course, that bracelets are more and more fash- jonable. Of course they have fol- lowed the short sleeves, as you might have suspected But have you seen the girls take their neck chains and wind them about their arms many times to make a bracelet? That is one of the stunts which seem to be gaining popularity, and, especially when the beads in the chain are small, the effect is most becoming. You see, a decoration on an arm that is totally without a sleeve or that has a very small sleeve is really a dis- tinct addition to the gown. And then you can do such effective things with color when you use the beads as a sort of a contrast or as something to repeat the color of the gown. They are wearing bracelets above their elbows too, It must be a very small elbow so that the bracelet can slip over it, or it’must be a bracelet that opens and snaps after it is ad- justed to the arm, But this fashion is one that is distinctly beautiful, as it calls attention to that portion of the arm which is always a graceful thing to look upon, Hand Worked Night Robes. For night clothes and underclothes they are wearing a great deal of hand. work done on batiste or mull or chif- fon. This is a sort of reaction from so much silk, and it is also because tbere is a beautiful sample of Frer Jt i nly a arp of many that can we are getting so much more of the handwork that is made into a de be found a the town And it is French embroidery since the effects of square yoke for a night robe frou n idea too clever finge has the war have begun to wear away, which falis pleated mull to a hem are longing ee, omethdng of ‘oe c In the photograph on this page that is rounded and edged witb lace sort themselve" \ %. | = »
