POPULARITY OF WHITK-
White" continues to gain in popularity day by day. As a method of androidery it is more in favour than anything else, The blug serge frocks just referred to are invariably trimmed with white embroi dery worked in a profusion of chain stitch scrolls, loops and lines. Sometimes touches on the bodices and skirt suffies; sometimes a front panel will be entirely covered with white scroll designs; and very often the whole frock will be one mass of white or cream chain stitch work Scrolla are the commonest form.of utilis ing these embroidery effects, but another favourite method is that of long straight lines running horizontally or vertically or crossing so as to form squares. For the serge frock as well as for the taffetus, white organdia is the last note in smart DC53. A frock may be us simple as possible in cut and style, but with the addition of collar and cuffs, a front or a sash of organdie, it becomes smart and dainty crough to please the most fasti dious. What might almost be termed a craze for organdie has reached such pro- portions that milliners are now using it for trimming hats, the usual method being to take a black or navy straw hút and place thereon, at a more or less perilous angle, a crashed bow of white organdie. While its freshness lasts this is ever so smart and fresh-looking. Belte of it are also used, for preference, on. talletas frocks.

The same type was also carried out in a black velvet contes embroidered with grey silk- and worn over a grey frock em broidery with black silk and finished with gray coroso buttons.
