DRESSES can be dresaed up Just as
a woman can. Dy "dresslnc np"
one means tn llttla blU ot em
broidery and the curious odd Individual
touches which make dresi a real crea
tion.' Of course the only rule of. good
taste In Tdresalng up dresses" is not to
hare them too dressed up. Every one
understands that
Here is. rery wonderful, I think,
"dressed up" dress. It Is really a butter
if Idea. The key-note is the allver head
dress, with large blue sapphire ornaments
and two paradise feathers drooping like
antenna. The dress itself Is of gray green
aula, with ft deep emerald green, soarf
trimmed with 'silver and gold braid wind
ing around the dress. . A bright blue net
cart touched with gold tinsel braid run
directly from the headdress into the skirt
bright yellow scarf trimmed with sil
ver tassels and tinselled lace hangs over
ths arms, ' and V the picture' Is shown
wpended from' the hands. .This Is truly
glorious combination of colors,' yet it
. not in any way cvordonelniUe en
semble. Anotbor elaborate model is the one in
tt Uft bund corner. It is of pink chiffon

Now, these are dangerous dresses". If exactly the right
note is kept and if there is cot just a little bit too much
added here and there, anexqulilte effect can be produced
as in no other way. But If there Is a little too much, then'
Immediately the whole effect falls. I love to design such'
dresses as these, because they are' so extraordinarily ef
fective to the wearer;.and.they.present.such Interesting
problems.

It to have a choppy or cut-up effect
Minor makers of costumes err- in
this particular. When they makej
an elaborate gown they heap In
congruous decorations upon it, and
the result ia a gaudr hodge podge.
