NEW YORK, HOTEL MAJESTIC,
April End.
Fayetta silk is in great demand for
dresses and lovely gowns
intended for spring and summer fetes
Coming in white and all new colOrs, it
has more body and is dressier than
India silk, the soft simmer on its sur
face, rendering it more refined than
taffeta, while its unusual draping quail
tiles bring it into special prominence in
these days when the hang of the skirt
and corsage drapery, are of such i'm
portance. Being of double width, it is
not expensive, yet some charming we'd
ding dresses are made of it. Skirts are |
quite a study and it is remarkable what !
differences as to cut and width, are
comprised within seemingly narrow
limitations that require close fit about
the hips and in front, with fullness
massed at the back.
TAILOR MADE
dresses are now OF importance, since
the time is at hand, when heavy wraps
must be discarded and favOrite model
in tan cloth seen at the recent Costume
Exhibition, shows a short jacket open
ing over crimson brocade waistcoat.
The skirt was four and half yards
wide and finished by the Duxbak rain
proof bias velveteen binding, which is
used of course on out door dresses be-
cause it is imperviOus to the maker.
Most of the Exhibition gowns, were of
dressy material however, and leading
house showed one elegant dress made
in princess style. Some notable skirts
| were made crosswise of the material,
with but one seam at the back and
drawn tightly about the hips and in
front, with corresponding fare at the
foot. These and the skirts of other
elegant gowns were finished by S. H.
& M. fret quality bias velVeteen bind
ing.
NEW HATS.
The Dutch bonnet that is preferably
of Jet or metal, though sometimes in
straw, is extremely popular. 1t is
small, fat TO the head and shows the
trimming massed at the back where
looped bows seem to be an addition tC
