Dress Ornaments for Eve

(From Our Correspondent). Paris. Fashion is busy with little nothings this season. Most, of them wash and their success depends on their fresh, crisp, clean appearance. The passion for white cotton pique in waistcoats, collars and cuffs, bonnets, and dresses, makes the wearer of that once homely material the most sophisticated of misses.

A black, and white, dress is not up to date without a few sets of white pique ornaments for the neck, front and sleeves. A coloured linen or tussore dress also has to have its sets of pique or white muslin, finely stitched or trimmed with narrow lace.

A string of pearls, a rope of beads, is not enough for the trimming of a summer dress or blouse. There must be lingerie. Lingerie flowers are worn and there are gloves trimmed with lingerie. Beads are still the mode. Short strings to go with a dress or tailor-made, as for instance, crystal and onyx with a black and white tweed, jade with a pale green and white dress, heavenly mistly blue with an ensemble of two blues, or blue and white. For evening ropes of fine beads strung together and shaped into knots, balls, or what not down one side of the necklace and not the other.

Short and long gloves are worn with day and with evening dresses. For day there is the glove which reaches to the elbow, and the. gauntlet glove which slips on anyhow, for wearing with a tailor-made or a sport ensemble.

Washable for the most part, gloves need not be very extravagant if they are taken care of.

Shoes have to go with Ihe dress in style as well as in colour. Fine black shiny kid or suede go with almost any town dress. Flowers are worn a little—white pique for the day; for the evening, long shoulder sprays are permissible. Ear-rings arc so much a matter of personal taste thatzthey are always in fashion but never theiishion. Bracelets are as sumptuous a fashion as ever.
