DICTATES OF FASHION

Dresses of brocaded charmtsuse with Bulgarian embroidery are charming. Moire is fashionable, but it cannot be said that it has much success. Dance frocks are of such delicate and fragile fabrics they must be constantly replenished. Short coats of brocade will be worn with cotton gowns and they should always match in color. The pale parchment tint and the color known as tete de negre are the popular shades of brown. This is the day of China silk, crepe de chine, Italian silk and mercerised knitting for underwear materials in place of the muslins, as the latter fail to cling in the necessary way under the slim outer garments that are the prt»«nt fashion. v
