It gives the same open effect of the eyelet hole trimming, but advances a newer Ides la decoration. Entire gowns, as well as exquisite waists of silk and batiste, are decorated with this Italian embroidery, and for very dressy occasions there Is no embellishment that better meets the requirements of the woman who must economise while she meets the obligations of her social standing. Although the fashionable embroideries are very pronounred and many of tbs designs made from floral models, heavily padded to make them sh mors realistic, softness Is Ihe essential feature of the season's leading materials. There haa been a general weeding out of certain mod re only tentatively launched at. ths beginning of the sesaon, and the features employed In the details of a frock, as well as Its materials, are likely to hold over for the next three or four months at least.

Evidence Is also seen that Parisian houses are trying to restore the drooping shoulder of the second empire models.
