BRIGHTENING UP THE FROCK

Any Girl With Clever Fingers Can Get Attractive Effects by Use of Stenciled Designs. The girl who is clever at stenciling can brighten up an afternoon frock or outing costume by having the cravat, the sash and the cuffs finished with stenciled ends. A more elaborate effect may be gained by using fringes In conjunction with the stenciling, the two matching in color. Also if one has the time and patience combined with the knowledge, the suit of oyster-colored shantung, or of satin georgette, may be overspread with, a deep border of some simple stenciled design. Usually it is correct to have the skirt plain and the decoration confined to the hem of the coat, the collar and the cuffs.
