VOGUE OF ARTIFICIAL FLOWER

Universally Popular, and Certainly Add Distinction to the Plainest of the Street Frocks.

Probably never before have artificial flowers had such a vogue as they have just now. And a small corsage flower is one of the best means of giving color to a dark street frock or suit 'C

There are bunches of tiny flowers in brilliant red that are very good. There are bouquets consisting of a rosebud, a few forget-me-nots and a sprig or two of green that are good. Then there are zinnias, nasturtiums, poppies and many other flowers in their own natural, rich coloring. The placing of the flower is rather important. It can be placed on the left shoulder with good effect It looks well at the closing of a ruff or a close collar of velvet and fur. Of course, the flower on an evening frock is usually part of the frock. That is to say, it is placed in position when the frock is made. However, a frock that needs a little refreshing can be brightened up with a new flower, and one of the newest places to put it is about half way down the back.
