WOMAN'S VA?I ED INTERESTS BRAID EMBROIDERIES NEW. - Fine Braids Form Most of the Decoration On Cloth Frocks for Winter Wear. Quality of These Trimmings More Important Than Their Quantity. m 0 FINK is the braid with ivhich bfloth fraeks for winter are em? broidered that the decoration ??ok?, almost as smooth as the closest ti handwor-. This form of garnishing, -jrerned by quality i-ather than by ?eanttty. is applied in novel ways. And lwavs %vi-ere \'. will be most effective. Ike least observing pair of eye* could . -,;; t0 i... four groupa of i which they are turned back in such a i way that the points stand a trifle out from the sleeve in a curious and fas? cinating manner. i Braid Embroidered Irisets. line braid embroidery is cleverly mingled with rote broadcloth insets on an imported model in blue gabardine. Where i? crosses the shoulder-? the A BLUE SERGE FROCK ADORNED WITH PETUNIA BRAID EM BROIDERV ON THE ARMS AND ON THE SKIRT, STARTING FROM THE SIDES. ?petunia braid embroidery on the blue ! ?erge frock illustrated. Broad baini*. in scrolls and leaf.-? of petunia braid tmbroider tialf the space between the tlbow and tne too <?f the sleeves of a bodice uho-i- wide, flat collar run? un? der a cru-ti (,-irdle of dull petunia blue thstisge-b!,' -ilk. Scarcely any of tins prdle -tomes above the waist-line at front. From the aide, however, where 't runs under sections forming the mrrowent of coat effect.?-, it i? lifted to *r?ss the back. There its lower edge is at the normal waist-line and its up P*f one u high as that of an empire I'rdle. In front the broad ribbon is drawn far down to meet the upper and "?trsieh? edge of h triangle of petunia *mbroidery on either hip. Dips to Sharp Point Between Feet. This threadlike braiding is the only ?"?raining on a nkirt which is the latest -??pressi-jn of its ela^s, as well as one **' the mo-l graceful. A seam runs ?-own the length of the skirt in front, *liere it dips bharply at centre, making ? decided point between the feet. At !*>e sides, where it is ehirred to the *-*nd, the up-slant of the point frankly "fcows the ankle?*. Across the back it 11 *?f normal length and straightness. "hile there really in nothing in the ?hghtest degree immodest about this ?'ft, H is sometimes imposed upon a 't'sight and narrow underdress of **tin in black or the shade of the etcth- whichever will make it most in *????*? IJMC?0U*. Other attractive feature? of this ?'?'d-tmbroidered frock are it? white ?Mia. _nd cuffs.

Kxcepting for the braid em broidery, the back of the basque i* plain. Its front is broken by a neck scarf of broad black ribbon. This passed about a high-standing wing col? lur of the gabardine, is joined below the bust and runs under a large square tab cut in one with the worsted ma? terial. Below this tab ornamented with two small black satin buttons at the ends of long buttonholes?the 1 scarf end? fall to below the waist. Braiding Produces Bolero Effect. Fine gold thread embroidery is mingled with black braiding on a black f?lle frock. Here the design in scrolls and conventionalized foliage produces a bolero effect in front. The simulated coatee comes low on the shoulders, as though partly dropping from them, and at the waist -because of the blousing of the bodice under the arms- touches the top of an exaggeratedly wide gir? dle. Incidentally, it may be said, this girdle starts at the normal waistline, and al) around it is drawn low over the hips. This treatment is accorded to various simple models among the late importa? tions, and so arranged a belt greatly becomes certain figures. At the back of the faille model, the blaek braid aad tine gold braid embroidery, crosses the shoulders in the effect of a deep collar or a short cape?whichever the ob? server may choose to consider it. Collera Na Longer Fhsre, but "Spring. Because the majority of the collars on the late models arc tall at the back and a great many of them high at the sides, a word ab ?ut separate neckwear is interesting. Moat of these accesso? ries in white organdie or linen are shaped to spring out not flare a trifle from the throat and to fit snugly I i o its ba?e. They have two-loop bows i 'and band ties of black faille ribbon, j Back-Pointed Skirts. New Points Touch the Heels at the Back's Centre. TIME was when skirts of evening dresses could truthfully be called round. That term no longer can , be applied to all of them, because cer? tain late models have backs which run to a centre point. And very definitely, \ too, as the skirt, cut to flare generously ? about the feet, falls of its own weight into a point touching the floor be? tween the heel- of the : lippers. An I enchanting example of this new digre;: i sion in skirts is seen in a model of j black and gold brocailr. Pitting i smoothly about the hips, it gradually ! acquires an unusual width. This, how? ever, shows chiefly at the back, for the front of the skirt is veiled by a gold fringed black lulle tablier. From the rear, the folds of this ethcrcalucd "apron." showing at either side, make gauzy black lines which bring into strong relief the point-dropping back. Words weakly describe the fascinating ??ay in ?rhirli this neweal among skirts floats about the feet yet away from them and the lovely line?* which it lends to the figure fiom the waist down. Contrastingly slender is the bodice, a Moyen-Age of the brocade joined across the shoulders with straps of black tulle trimmed with double rows of jet beads. Similar rows bund the bodice where it ends on the hips aid a single ornament comej between the straps at the base of its decollctage, "The Mermaid Frock" with Ils Jel Scaled, Close-Kitting Bodice. Less definite. \et fur from round cut, i? the rear point of another skirt. The underdreaa of pale rose satin is veiled to the nkles with sheerest black lace over white lace. These two ti liny lay? ers, though gatheicd to the waistband and falling in loose folds at front and back, HP.? held flHtly against the sides of the figure as far as the knees by jet straps. From iht sides these straps look like continuations of a Moyen-Age bodice of jet scales, whose extremely , low d?colletage is je! strap-joined across the shoulders. So closely does ! this corselet cling to the figure that the creation has been happily named ."The Mermaid Krock." An objection I made to these scale-covered bodices is that the jets seem likely to diop off. As a matter of fact they are very se? curely attached and of such thin, flex? ible texture that they bend instead of break. The Tablier in High r'a-or ?gain. The tendency to veil biocaded silks and satins has gone fur toward re? storing the popularity of the tablier. One notable model among dancing gown:, with a train so long that it mas be swung over the arm. is of silver and blue brocade. Its circular skirt, while of equal length at front ami sides, shows a slight catch-up just below either hip. This draping scheme draws back the' front, which looks darker than th back because veiled by a full lengt tablier of blue net. Its lower edge i finished with an Inch wide strip of sil ver braid to accord with the top edg of a scarf in matching material. Thi length of gauze forms sleeves - of sort for a corselet-basque of the brocad which closes in front under an im mense rose of cerise satin. (iauzy Tulle Forms So-Called Slee-ts Although detachable, this .carf add so much grace to the costume that i would be a pity ever to discard it Rrought high against the neck at thi back, its silver braid edge is caught \, the front end of the silver braid shoul der straps of the bodice. Thus an formed wing-like arm veilings or semi sleeves which at the back merge intt a cape whose long point is slip-knotte?. at the base of the hips. The manner ir which the scarf floats out from th? sides of the figure above the waistline is balanced by the flowing appearance of the net tablier. While both section?? of gauze veil the brocade, they by no means destroy the simple lines of bod? ice and skirt. They give, moreover, a suggestion of youth to a gown which without the lighter material to subdue its gold figuring, might be too splendid for any save a matron of stately pres? ence and of great dignity. Black Velvet Panels Separate Shim? mering Satin and Jet. Flat jets placed to form a moire ef? fect, border the long, straight tunic of a black satin evening gown. The shim? mer of satin an?l jet in this garment is separated at both sides by a panel of black velvet which makes a long line exactly where it is most needed by many a woman who has eaten well but not wisely.

Barrel Vaulted Celling. Two types of sun room are illustra* ed. A simple room with a brick tire place on one side, and on the othei three sides wide glazed sash, uncur l_ined. This room has a cement flooi and a barrel vaulted ceiling, from the | centre of which hangs a single fixture lor the lights. The furniture is of v> illow or rattan, with pretty cretonne upholstery. Fasy chairs predominate and in one corner a swinging seat of the same material is hung from the coiling. Flowers and growing plants are al? most an essential element of th? at? tractions of a ?un room, und they may be set in pots and vases along the w ide ' window ledge or on tables here and there or even on the floor, for its tiled or cement surface will not be injured in any way by the dampness 01 by the soil. The open lire is doubly attractive on | a cool evening when it is too warm to Iirw its cheer ?ndeers, ami in the parly morning v. Iu?n breakfast is served there. Cheerful Latticed Windows. The second illustration shows a more elaborate sun room, where the illusion of out-of-door i.te is helped by a ce- , ment basin that stands in the centre of the room and out of which .??pringa a small jet of water which falls with gentle splash into the basin. The use , of lattice work add-? to the decorative effect, anal here the doors arc set in frames of lattice, which are glazed as ? well as the aloors themselves.
