1,000 YARDS OF FRILLS ON ONE FROCK.
The hats and evening dresses which women will wear during the winter were revealed at Olympia, Kensington, W., last month when a fushions exhibition open only to the trade began.
The new Benson's evening dressea on view included one which was entirely covered with frills an inch wide. It took one girl three weeks to make` 1,000 yards of frilling for it.
There are flared frills or bits of frills, sometimes of different || lengths, at the sides or back of the frocks; there are handkerchief skirts, or handkerchief sleeves, from below the elbow; there are capes on the backs of evening. dresses.
Every kind of decoration bas been called into use. A red dress has a parrot embroidered in white on the flared flounce on the left side, and on the right sleeve -is

FASHIONS HELPING A BRITISH INDUSTRY,

The variety of choice in sleeve treatments for day dresses may be gauged by the types illustrated here. There is, for instance, a pleated cuff of white georgette, let into the open bell sleeve of a black frock, the frill falling datatily over the hand. Then there is the strapped cuff belonging to the tight-fitting sleeve of a wool georgette dress. The fashion- able shirred, sleeve is the outcome of the vogue for the shirred hipline and is quite attractive with its trimming of tiny but tone. Next comes a very neat little caff of crepe de chine with narrow ribbon velvet trimming for a
or less severe model; followed by the picturesque ruched wrist treat- ment for a more elaborate satin afternoon toilette. Lost is the sleeve which develops into a bishop shape' below the elbow and is trimmed in a novel way with bands of fine check fabric to tone.
