Ostrich in Veg us
Six months ago word was passed
along that ostrich trimming for
frocks had hadVite day. To be sure.
there were countless frocks gaily
trimmed with the plumaze.of the
king of birds. but there was a. feel-
ing that smart women would soon
tire of it. The foreboding. however.
was a false one. At present ostrich
is one of the smnrtest of dress trim-
mings. The important thing is that
it is now used in a dozen ways in-
stead of one or two.
Ostrich is now combined with
flowers in a charming manner—
fiues of the feathers being worked
in with the petals of roses in a way
which if not true to nature is at
any rate very pleasing. For :zn eve-
ning frock you may sNW‘t .‘l hrge

stems with tiny rosehuds and little
tufts of ostrich.
Two-tens and Ombrs
Often the ostrich trimming is used
in ombre effect. and often in two-
tone effect. Curled ostrich is some-
times combined effectively \\‘;th the
uncurled sort. Ostrich used on hems
and borders is as smart as it is
popular and is found on ncgiigces
as well as evening frocks.

ored oeorgette (firmed with

ostrich as trimming for {rock
and scarf.
The ostrich boa. revived a season
ago. is chosen by some women as a
rather. unusual evening accessory.
and is most effective when worn
with ‘a frock trimmed in some way
with ostrich of the same tone.
Rather newer than the ostrich
has is the fabric scarf edged with
ostrich fringe. Sometimes this scarf
is actually attached, to the frock at
the back or the side. made of the
same fabric as the frock. Long
ostrich fringe is set in a. smart
frock in points and the scarf worn
with it shows ostrich fringe at the
ends attached in the same point
shapes.
Silkcn fringe vies with that of
ostrich as a. trimming. Frequently
this new tringe is as light and wil-
lowy as ost’ich. since good taste has
somewhat veered away from the ex-
tremely heavy "slinky” sort.‘
Kid for Trimming
Not only have the dremhakers
made inroads on the milliners' sup-

shoemakera as well. and a woman's
froclt now quite often carries more

On many of the smartest street
frocks and ensemble costumes for ~
the spring there will be neat piping-
and facing. of leather. A narrow
leather belt will be worn with s.
straight-line tailored frock with slit
pockets piped with fine leather.
One of the most original ways of
using leather u a dress garnlture
is by way of a. spectacle case. A
French dressmaker has shownsmart
street cloth frocks trimmed with
leather. with‘s. leather spectacle case

' wm; Ribbons
still pledged to the straight. per-
pendicular silhouette. the French
dressmakers frequently make use of
ribbon to achieve this end. Now as
always they lead the way in the
clever use of ribbon. A young girl’s
frock of black taffeta with ‘therod
skirt attached to straight. snug
bodice. has a. tie of narrow silver
ribbon at the front of the collar-
small loops and ends banging a. trifle
longer than the hem. This is a.
simple device to give apparent
length and straightness to the frock.
A few' yards of silver ribbon form
one of these long “neck flee” with
enough over to wear around the
head in s. double bandeeu.
Another lengthening device for the
simple little frock is the use of three
or four lengths of ribbon from neck
line to hem. These may be at-
tached as far as the hips and hang
loose thence to the hem. Narrow
ribbons hanging from the shoulder.
there attached with rose or other
flower. form a. shape and sacctlve
trimming device. .

There is no abatement in our food-
ness for wearing strings of M
around our necks and there are ll
many women as ever who feel best
dressed when wearing a beaded
frock. Fortunately, however. we are
getting away from the cheap beaded
blouse. W's seldom see a woman in
tailored tweed suit wearing a beaded
blouse. and the woman who works
for her living seems to have come
to the conclusion at last that a
bonded georgetto frock is not quite
the thing to wear to emcepr shop.
Beads are at their best on the
straight-line. rather gorgeous eve-
ning frock, and as much interest
lies in the intricacy and fineness of
the design as in the glitter of the
hoods. Often the beads are at the
smalleg. thus making possible the
followmg out of the most compli-
cated figures. Nothing is more
charming than a flesh-colored geom—
ette freck embroidered all over with
Wax-ls and crystals. .Veedless to
say any additional trimming is out
of place.

THINGS TO BUY IN THE

There are handkerchiefs 0f chiffon
edged with ostrich flue: in a two—
inch fringe. l-‘eather and handker-
chief match in color. and come in
everything from black to white.
from pale lemOn to deepest orange.
from sky blue to deep flame. from a
light tinted green to a deep emerald.
A new fad is to wear strings of
big beads, alternating pearls and
colored stone. or white and tinted
pearl beads. like those in choker
collars, over one shoulder and under
the other arm. where they hang
down to the waist or lower.
Combination handbag and vanity
boxes are particularly smart. They
' are like tiny suitcases in shape.“ cov-
ered with patent lcather in black
