A novel way of arranging pleat- ing without cutting the material. for an inserted panel has been shown by a model house. The skirt is not cut but the panel is stitched on either side and attach- ed at the top with a pocket. This idea is a grout help to the ama- teur needlewoman.

tle capes.
Novel bracelets are those of pieces of wood tbreadedon elastic. These are dyed every colour im- aginable, and are worn all the like the cld- way up the arm fashioned glass bangle.
A GORGEOUS SHAWL.
A Spanish family worked on this shawl for three years, intending to present it to the Spanish queen. Circumstances forced the shawl makers to sell it. The background of the shoul is sky blue, into which is woven the royal emblems; and a picture of the royal fountain of the Alhambra at Seville. The reverse side is covered with myriads of bright hued flowers, birds and butterflies.
Gone are all the delicately tinted crepe de chines and taffetas, with their lavish trim- mings of lace, to make room for the black lace effects. And the new effects in all those things that can't be worn for the benefit of the public gaze ure really quite lovely. One of the novelties is called the "spiderweb.". It is worn by the charming little lady perched on the pedestal abune. It has taken the place of the historic "teddy bear". The other model she wn is a combination vest and blooper, Jushioned from green silk over which is scorn, the net of black lace.

NEWEST EMBROIDERY.
Embroidery has been over- whelmingly fashionable, and bead trimmed dresses have provad irrepressibly popular even with the elect, and now, just by way of a change, silk embroidery bas condescended to imitate its rival, Bright-coloured silke do their vory best to be mistaken for gay! beads, and somehow lose their pliability and attain to the hard- er, more barbaric effect of bead embroidery. The scarlet
and white imitation bead embroidery appearing on a navy blue crepoj jersey frock at a dress show thei other day had to be felt with the fingers before anyone could be- lieve that the "heads" were not real.
THE GLITTER OF OUR CLOTHES,
Jo make up for the gold that] fails to jingle In our pockets these dage, we are allowed to cover
ourselves with glittering and sparkling materials. At a fashion parado recently it was notferd that almost wiihout exception the evening gowns shown wero.either of gold or silver lame or brocado.) One of the most effective dressor was an evening gown of pure silvor tissue with a plain swathed bodice and an accordion pleated skirt. When this was held out and the light was reflected from its thousand facets, the effect was too atunning even for a modern fashion audience to accept with composure. The aboos that ac company such gowns are Dvory bit as brilliant and sparkling, with, embroidery worked in brilliant silks, in metallis threads, or in bright glass and matallic beads, Bequins very often figure on modern evening shoes,
To match both shoes and drosa, hair ornaments are fashioned of flat bandeaux that hold down the hair close to the hoad, brilliantly jewelled combs that outline tho protty curve at the back of abin- gled hoads, and high diadem Icoronats for the women who
would add to her height,
AN ORIGINAL TOUCH.
TRIFLES FROM THE SHOPS.
Wide sleeves are boing joined to the frock by a row of little tucks all the way round the arm- hole. These tucks are often repeated at the wrist to make a tight cuff.
Chio little hats are being shown of plaited straw and felt combined, usually in matching colour. Another idea is straw and corded ribbon combined, ribbon in a lighter shado usually being obosen. These models are devoid of trimming savo a narrow hand of ribbon or a novelty pin.
Hurrint Hammond, Cinema actress, has the most tragic eyes in the world, says Elinor Glyn, Harriet was working as an "extra" until hudume Glyn paid tribute to her eyes. Now many producers are bidding for her services.
