Cut-Out Embroidery Used. There is a tendency to go back to the old handiwork known as cut-out embroidery. Cloth, velvet and taffeta are now cut out by a stamping process In ornate designs, and the edges of these are carelessly overwhipped with a silk thread. While there is some embroidery and worsted threads, the idea Is taboo when carried out in a lavish way. The dressmakers seem th prefer the | lavish use of braid to any other kind i of applied ornamentation. The wide, | closely woven variety known as Her | cules, and the tiny thread known as goutache, are both splashed over clothes with a generous hand. The | extra wide, white Hercules brald is used for a rolling collar, cuffs and a broad belt on gowns of binck and gray satin, as well as on frocks or serge en] deeply colored woolen fabrics, { (Copyright, 1817, by the McClure Newapa. per Syndicate.)
