VELVET, LACE, AND TULLE
How Tradition Has Changed
Is 'somebody trying to find out whether women will ever tire of velvet and ice? The autum.p and winter seem likely to provide a test, but the answer is certain beforehand. Not only are these fabrics synonymous with luxury." since they used to be so expen- sive, but they are undoubtedly as becoming as cosmetics could possibly be and a great deal, more so than some of the coame. tics used to-day.
Of course, modern methods have made of lace a material that can be worn at all hours in one or another of his forms.

As for lace, it is being used in great quantities for indoor dress.
The ever-favourite black Chan- tilly leads the way; and cello- ̈ phane lace in different colours is running it close. A very long line is shown by Molyneux in red lace, really a princess dress, held to the gure by a line of delicate sbirring, repeated behind the knees, but with a fan shaped in- set in the back seam to make dan- sing easy.

Thus, Chanel uses black lace and tulle to develop the idea of hay- ing drapery, to one side or the "other, but not on both. This does. not give a lop-alded effect," but somehow adds to the almness of the outline. This example has wide taffeta shoulder straps, and a belt and band which descend from the waistling in the back to a deep V over the right thigh, where they end in å das bow. Here they are met by a godet of black net, covered with tiny tulle ruffles, as are the cape sleeves. attached to the shoulder straps:
