Sometimes these little things throw a whole frock into dis- repute and the influence they exert is so sly and subtle that you hardly sus- pect them until you delve deeply into their characters. A dark blue serge Jress, for in- stance, can be dull anu meaningless for no apparent reason. But, add to it light gray stockings with walking shoes strapped over the gray instep and have a pair of mousquetaire gloves exactly to match the stockings and you will see that costume take on pep and n.eaning which had been totally foreign to it a moment previously. A brown dress can be as gloomy as a rainy day when it is inartistically surrounded.’ But add, perhaps, a flow- ing henna veil and you have some- thing. Silver for a Headdress. S.'ver brightens up black in the most remarkable manner. It is more colorful, used in this way, than any color could be. Just the merest touch of silver on a black dress makes that dress take on an expression of color which no amount of real color could make it do. In the picture there are silver bunches of grapes hanging from a sil- ver forehead band. They are clasped around a blae’ nead and worn with a black dree shereby they manage to supp!” .atillating color effect that ke .e costume well out of the ciass of the mediocre. Fur Fringed Steckings Monkey fur has a persistent way of Hon you a dress that you dis- appearing as trimming for every article of female apparel. We have geen it on underwear ai * marvelled. But here it is, by some strange stroke of fate, running up and down the sides of stockings. It is a fad, cer- tainly, but it certainly is a fascinating one, as can be seen by the picture on this page. Fringe placed anywhere on your clothes gives a gracefulness that is much to be desired, and this new dem- onstration of its use is only one more way of showing its power to add charm. Monkey fiinge is gathered into ro- settes for slippers, too, and there it shows the curling, rippling quality of its slender Waviness even better than it can when it runs up and down the sides of the stockings.
