DICTATES OF FASHION

The white beaded nets are in high favor for evening wear. _ White bead trimming is the feature of a sports suit of white pongee. Flesh colored organdie takes the place in some of the summer frocks that flesh colored chiffon took in winter frocks. The upstanding frill around the neck that is cut away a bit at the shoulders is still featured in some

of the imported frocks of silk and satin. Stripes are as much worn by children as by the mammas and big sisters. Usually a striped skirt is made with a plain white or • colored blouse to give the best results. Yellow is enjoying a vogue it has not before known for years. Yellow silk sweaters seemed to blaze the way for the vogue, and now there are yellow and white striped sports clothes, and many attractive frocks of yellow combined .with white or some other color.

-Brocaded silk for girdles and other trimming is in demand. It gives the same sort of touch of color that embroidery does, if skillfully' used, and, of course, it is far less to tuck in a bit of brocade than it is to embroider even a simple pattern by hand. Veils attached to the hat are arranged in many ways. Sometimes there is a short veil arranged almost like a frill at the back of the hat. The same arrangement is sometimes made across the front of the hat Long veils attached to the top of the hat crown float over the shoulders and many veils hang like last year’s trains, at ohe side only.
