Fabrics That Fashion Chooses for the New

 

Printed chines—the
swat popular of all lob-
rics for summer——
achieves distinction here
by narrow black. lace
with which ting sleeves
and skirt drapery are

on one with a talent for em-
S bellishlng statistics and making

figures seam graphic ought to
figure out Just how far the figured
georgette and figured chiffon used
so far this season would extend it
stretched out in one piece. From
the number of frocks of this de-
scription that you see in town and
out. outdoors and in. by sun and by
candlelight. you might be led to be-
lieve that it would stretch from
Bangor to Miami, or from Sandy
Book to Hollywood. In all the
shops where materials are sold by
the yard they seem to be kept busy
Just measuring of! yards and yards
of this sort of material. For some
reason or other it is the sort of
fabric that tempts the woman who
makes her own clothes. Almost
every school girl in her teens is at-
tempting to make a frock from some
one of these figured transparent
materials. And the interesting thing
about it is that a large proportion
of them are really good looking. The
reason for this may be that the eye
follows the line of the vivid and
bold figure and is not too alert for

slight imperfections in the making.-

Tulle for Evening

Everywhere that clothes are
talked about you hear the comment
that at last the masculine note is
giving way to a revival of fashions
that are definitely feminine. And
this tendency—still in the air—has
been felt in the choice of fabrics
used. These flowered chiffons. for
insta'nce. are nothing if not femi-
nine. And there is an occasional
frock of silk net and we are tail

Chiffon and Lacs~

Metallic Fabrics Used

lietallic materials are usually not
considered so apmwlate fonwarm
weather as for winter. But this
sasson it is remarkable to see how
much of these gilt and silver fabrics
have been employed This is. of
course. because of the forward steps
taken in making them. They are no
longer the heavy. quickly tarnished.
stilt fabrics they were once. Silver
and other metal cloth is now made
of feather lightness and is used
either to form the frock itself or to
make the underslip for chiffon or
lace.

Broadcloth has been spoken of as
a material that is pretty sure to
come into the limelight with the
coming of autumn and winter. It
seems to lend itself to the closely
daring lines of the new mode. Then
there is a new sort of satin so heavy
that it is called "leather satin.” This
will look very well for the late sum.
mer street frock of navy blue or
black.

And Velvet

A warm day in June—almost
July—may seem an inopportune
time to talk about velvet. Looking
through the eyes of fashion it is a
very opportune time. July and
August have long been the season
for launching velvet hats. One of
the smart shop windows not far
away shows a tempting array of
little soft. crushsble velvet hats.
that look more seasonable. some-
how, than the flower-laden straw

lo we may as well talk of velvet.
Neat Nruary we shall doubtless
talk of batiste and mull.

As soon as warm days came this
spring “finch women appeared at
the races and daewhere wearing
velvet costs. some of them lightly
trimmed with fur. Short velvet
jackets made in conventional tall-
crsd style are chosen by some
women for summer sport coats in
place of the more usual knitted wool
coat.

 

PAD. OF TH! MOMENT

MVY gold jewelry cf the sort
H that Victoria and her cantan-
porsries were what she was
young. has come back into cation.
So if you have any heirlooms of this
sort by all means wear them new.
Women who can afford it are ran-
saekln. the shops where antique
jewelry is sold in search for old
locksts. chains and bracelets of this
description. Nowadays jewelry is
so much a matter of fashion with
most women that even the most
fastidious are willing to buy replicas
of these old’ pieces. They are of
solid gold, but the replicas are
plated. hence not prohibitive in
price.
in line with the solid gold pieces
one of the shops that caters to
fashionable women is showing real-
ly lovely imitation cameos in Vic-
torian settings. It would require
the close scrutiny of an expert to
ti: that these cameos were imita-
t no.

The larger the pearl the better.
seemed to be the idea of fashion a
little while ISO. and even woman of

good taste wore strings of imita-i

tion pearls around their necks, as
large. almost as nutmm. Now
there is a demand among the dis-
criminating for strings of very
small pearls The idea of course is
that the enormous pearl beads give
themselves dead away. Of course
they couldn't be real at. that also.
But even the imitation pearls. it
quite small, might be real. 80 there
is something of gentle deception in
the new fashion.
