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.
Hair Ribbon Economy.
Little daughter’s halr ribbons should
be made to do duty as long as pos
sible. When soiled the* may. be thor
oughly cleaned by shaking for a few
seconds, say half a minute, in a solu
tion of soda—a teaspoonful baking
soda to one quart of boiling water.
Rinse the ribbon in cold water, dry
for two or three minutes in a towel
and press with a hot iron. This proc
ess removes all dirt, as suggested, but
does not injure the color.
Javelle Water.
This is used in Chinese laundjles to
whiten their Mnen. It will remove
most any kind of stain. One-fourth
cupful to a boiler of clothes will make
them very white. One gallon of" wa
ter, four pounds washing soda, one
pound common soda. Heat all to
gether*, rdd two pounds slakei lime.
