Bring ou I JTI your colored wools or sewing silks E and embroider a posy on th< - shoulder of your frock or the lapel o > your coat, or wherever you want t( '" wear it. : By clever needlework you ichievi excellent effect and the worked pus: retains all its first freshness aftei months of wear. #•■■# ,* Lace dinner and. dance frocks hav< many followers. " : The latest intriguing addition is a scarf of the same lace' that is worn, with its ends trailing down . over the bare shoulders. Verily a ) boon to the thin-necked and 1 "scraggy." <

t If you possess a black lace frock, s ring the changes by varying the slips c worn beneath it. As every woman f knows, black lace looks ever so well 3 over flesh pink. An extra touch of charm can be given by adding a belt c made of pink and black velvet ribbons. y Girdles of silver metal picked out here r and there with synthetic jewellery, are always so useful for wear with black frocks of lace chiffon or georgette. Next time s you make undies, have your shoulder straps made of the "same ''material as' the lingerie. They wash_w,ell .ajid wear much better thaii^, straps ; ' of ribbon, however strong, and are Jess likely to slip off the shoulders! - '
