White and scarlet is an ensemble very much in vogue at the moment. In its most fascinating guise it takes the form of a smart two-piece. A characteristic model I saw at a recent dress show comprised a dress with a straight top of white ottoman, beautifully fine in texture and of a very delicately ribbed quality, allied to a skirt of red pleated crepe. The pleating was minutely small. Bell-shaped sleeves were finished with bands of embroidery and deep frills of pleated red chiffon. A straight band of embroidery achieved a waistbelt effect, and further bands of it were placed upright above the belt. This embroidery merits a word to itself. It was composed of tiny coral beads and very narrow gold braid. The coat of the ensemble was straight, with a scarf collar. Here agaiu bell-shaped sleeves were used. The coat was undecorated save for some subtle little touches of the matching embroidery near the hem.
