French knots are not only a favorite decoration but the mode is to make very large knots. The latest fad in blouses is that made from a mandariu's jacket show- ing the characteristic dragon picket! out in gold.

Have you taken any particular notice of the chiffon embroldcrlcs done in col- or? The patterns and the soft shades of color are beautiful—just what you want in making up your fancy stocks for Christmas.
