C. i' i ROSES TO ORNAMENT FROCKS Posies Being Used to Decorate Many Kinds of Gowns—Revival of Old Elizabethan Fashion. There is much about the latter end of the eighteenth century that is com ing back into fashion. The deeply square decolletage with the high line at the back, the tight elbow sleeves with their deep ruffles of precious lace, the ornamental bow of faint blue rib bon in front, and the garlands of lit tle roses appear daily among smart society and In the salons of those ex clusive dressmaker? who claim that they never become slaves to any one mode of dressing. There are two designers in New York who use pink roses to ornament various kinds of frocks and coats. They both draw inspiration from the eighteenth century, but they are not in accord with the house of Callot, which chooses roses that are full blown, soft and becoming. The roses which we see on these new frocks that come from certain exclu sive houses have the appearance of being covered with shellac. Some are tawdry apd smack of the Christmas tree; others appear to be cut from porcelain. . They represent a certain era in dressing, and they are faithful to type. There are evening gowns which have rows of these glittering, stiff little roses to outline the decolletage and the armholes as well. There are other gowns that have a garland of these roses arranged like a looped Chain of pearls across the front of the corsage, and another row at the top of each deep ruffle of lace that hangs from the elbow sleeves. Strange to say, In connection with this rococo style of ornament,. there has arisen a revival of the ol<T Eliza bethan fashion of ornamenting velvet gowns. This shows itself in the use of pearls to catch up the hem of skirts and sleeves, and these pearls are often a part of a fine latticework done .In gold thread. LATEST IN VICTORY DESIGN Combines Fleur-de-Lis of France, th# English Rose and the American * Golden Rod. There has come out a fabric, and also a new embroidery, which com bines the fleur-de-lis of France, the English rose, and the American golden rod. It is called the victory design, and those who exploit it are trying to make It among the accepted ornamen tations' for the season. It may be that women will not care for the grouping of these three na tional flowers, but there seems to be every reason to believe that the French fleur-de-lis, which has gone through the history of that country and has been the symbol of so many of its victories, will be the • leading design in the fabrics which will be j worn during the great celebrations | abroad. There is no talk of America’s launching new gowns for whatever celebrations may come. The eyes of our buyers, ihanufacturers andvdyers,. - are turned toward Paris, and each is making a great effort to get over thererdespite the scarcity of passports given out in this country.
