Hand-Painted Gowns.

Hand-painted evening gowns, scarfs, various toilet accessories (and the new methods of painting on silk and velvet which recently came into use are quite popular. The painte, which are applied with a brush in the case of silk, are specially prepared, so that, once dfy, they remain indelible and will stand both washing and ironing. For velvet the fnode of application is similar to tjiat when one is icing a cake, tiny paper bags of paint being squeezed between the fingers. A couple of lessons in this kind of painting are all that are neceesary.
