Every girl wants to ac- complish the feat, but not one girl in a hundred knows how it is done, It takes a wise one to detect the clever little tricks that are destined to freshen up the old frock so that it shall appear as something quite dis- tinctly different from anything she has had before. There are lots of little accessories of- fered to the unsuspecting buyer. They all look colorful enough and dainty in the extrerme as they pose in the shop windows or on the glittering glass counters, but will they fit your pur- pose? That is another question, It is al! very well to go out in search of color and something charming in the way of dress accessories, but will you keep your artistic balance long enough to choose the thing which is right for you? Ah, there comes the art of the piece. You are so apt to be lured by the bright color instead of taking into account al! of the exigen- cies of the case. You are so prone to buy something that looks good in itself, but for the dress you have in mind will be as hothing added to nothing. Really, it is wise to have your mind set before you set out upon your purchasing tour, and that ts why it is good business to keep in touch with all these little newnesses 1 ¥ . and to @ecide tna vhich Many-Colored Chinese Medallions Make Effective Decoration When Employed on will them work the spring miracle with those frocks which, you feel, are good enough to carry on. Serge With Foulard There are pieces of your winter serge dress which are still good. I know there are. I have seen too Many serges survive the strain of years to be fooled on this subject. Well, why not make a foundation, in the one-piece manner, of a printed blue and white foulard and then ap- ply the serge to that for trimming? It has been done most successfully. There are straight or circular flounces of serge which are interesting possi- bilities. There are whole lower sec- tions of skirts made of the serge with a belt and lower sections of the sleeves to match the combination and design, There are serge capes with foulard linings worn over serge dresses with the sume foulard trimmings. There re many ways, in fact, to combine two differing mat 's with the Two Tones of Brown. Fringes Are the Latest Edges For Tweed Town Suits. utmost success promised for the out- come, Try it yourself. Use some origin- ality and see what the outcome will be. I am sure you will be happy about the result. And, oh, such a change in the aspect of the serge of which you have grown inordinately tired. ; Gilt Trimming Good On s0 many dark and sombre ga: ments gilt trimming works an as- tonishing miracle. Just a few inches of shining gold will reorganize a whole costume so that your friends will wonder how you hevpen to be af- fording such good dressing. There is something about the sparkle, if it is rightly placed, which is irresistible, There must not be too much of it, but enough is the most brilliant achievement in the way of trimming. I saw a brown crepe dress with just one strip of gold lace inserted at the foot of a low, pointed neckline. It was a small bit, to be sure, but its sparkle fairly sang and it made that dress a notable thing where, under other circumstances, it might have been classed among the dull, Gold bandings are good for crepe @resses, just to bind the edges. A gold girdle is a wonderful affair when it is rightly placed. Gold facings for dinner and evening gowns work won- ders for the lavish effect of those cos- tumes. Gold, in tou is something whieh ad bdeh, te BAL Toe we Silver Threads dae! Embroider 9 This Transparent Black Tissue is becoming to everybody, and often it is the secret of refurbishing an old gown. Wide Girdles of Homespun This loosely woven homespun mae terial makes just as interesting @ foundation for embroidery as it does a material for suits and frocks. Just fur instance, it makes the most stun- ning sort of a wide girdle when it is properly embroidered with wide and effective stitchings of colored wools, They are doing these girdles of cross stitchings and chuin stitchings and outline stitchings and they are using the brightest colors known to man, for the keynote of the season's embroideries lies in Roumania and Czecho-Slovakia where bright colors abound, . The neutral colors of the home- spun are the best—grays and putty colors and tans and all those flat shades which serve to make the bright colors and black stand out fo their best advantage. Embroideries Mcre subtle and careful and inter- esting grow the embroideries for modern frocks, They made al- Ways as parts of the frock iiself, not 48 something from outside set on as an afterthought. Take the scarf in the picture for instance, It is all of shining silver and gauzy black but it is worn with a white gown so that the embroidery are shows as the most siguificant thing ubout the costume. It is the game way with the dress that shows Chinese embroidery, The colors in the handw: supplement the colors of the gown so that the whole becomes a symphony of tones ° e ° Fringed Fabric for Suits They are fraying out the edges of homespun suits so that the slight edge of fringe sliall make the trim- ming. There is an excelle t « mple of this in the picture of the sui and one-piece drees of heather blue shown in the pieture t |
