Silver thread embroidery in the popular darning-stitch enriches some of these frocks. In others, head work is used. As an example of this last, white georgette crepe elaborately worked with beads forms the upper part and sleeves of a black satin dress. Separate fkirts of black satin are also worn with white (.Vorgette blouses in ltusd.vn style, Russian styles still keep at the height of |K)puiarity. When tlie.x are worn with suits they apitcar In any of the varying lengths, from the short hip length to below the knee. A strik ing black satin dress recently was made with a slip-on Russian blouse of me-' ilium length over u very full pleated, skirt. The lower part of the blouse was richly embroidered in silk with ^Japanese embroidery in tin* cherry blossom design. The embroidery was in white ami pale green. To return to the black-and-white combination, a very effective waist of white crepe was trimmed with black crepe collar, cuffs and revers and, in addition, black heads.

Medium size brims on rather drooping lines are also noted. A hat of crepe was trimmed with three rows'1 of pleated ribbon at the top of .the crown with if lieaded ornament in front. The veil i.s still the faithful com- ] panion of the hat. Embroidered veils are even more popular than the plain ones, and the flowing veils more favor-' ~ed UiairOEher styles.
