Beads and a Star

That the vogue for beads is with ug still was made quite evident by Miss Violet Loraine, who made her appearance in the new edition of "London, Paris, and New York" at the Pavilion Theatre, London, in some very beautiful creations. The loveliest of all her gowns was a fish-net chemise frock worn over a charmeuse slip adorned with motifs of ecru lace. The whole of the netting was decorated wi most wonderful ambroid thick white wool outlined with silken soutache. The girdle of this frock was of brown with a network of small wooden beads at the end, some of gold and the others dyed to the exact shade of the brown satin.
