Fashion's Decrees

Narrow bands of tulle are still used for evening gowns of tulle. Quaint turbans are fashionable; so are large picture hats. Sport suits of mouse-gray corduroy are extremely natty. Gray buttons are the fasteners. Some of the new sweaters have silk linings, which are very effective when displayed as a backing to the flowing belt sashes. Small fruit has been used from time to time for trimming hats, but this season pears, crab apples, as well as berries of all kinds, are seen. The fashionable coiffure is largely a matter of individual taste. The hair may be worn high or low, may be in wide or narrow effect. Short-winged sleeves of filmy stuff are characteristic of the latest evening gowns. They are often wired to stand up straight from the shoulders.
