In all the flne gowns that are being
shown in Paris now there Is q note Of
comfort, for they. are SO easily copied
in inexpensive goods. On the Rue de
la Paix there lives an American girl
whose entire livelihood is earned in
the designing of inexpensive gowns to
take the place of the more expensive
Paris models. One of these young wo-
men makes a speciality Of the selection
Of soft fine cloths which she substitutes
for satins. All the exquisite models
that cost a fortune to design and carry
out are copied by her deft fingers in
cheaper goods. When completed you
can scarcely tell the substitute gowns
from the originals, if the work be EAR
ried out we'll.
Imitation lace is substituted for the
fashionable Point de Paris, Valen-
ciennes, Burgess and Chantilly and the
cheapest lace takes the place OF the
more expensive Russian laces. In tat
feta and silks OF all kinds she is spe-
c;ally fortunate for he can use a silk
for a few cents a yard to take the place
of that which cost high prices. 1t is
easy to accomplish the appliques, and
even the brocaded effects, if you are
willing to use your handiwork.
New Materials.
This is the season when new mate
falls are declared. Until October they
are held we'll in the background but
come forth with the first cold wave.
Cachmire d'AMemange is one of the
fabrics that will grow more popular as

mere but is an Improvement upon it.

that it is impossible to tell it from the
more expensive cloths.
The Countess de Castellane, who has
the newest of everything, has a gown
in cachmire d'Aiiemange. 1t is in the
new London red which is called pos
tillion red. The skirt has a flare
around the foot, accomplished by the
introduction of fan-like ruffles at fire.
quent intervals. Instead of plain fans
there are bias rufles of cloth, much
newer than the conventional fan plait-
ing.
Astrakhan cloth is the newest conner
into the ranks of rough goods. 1t is
about the weigh of camel's hair and
has long silk threads hanging from the
surface. A lovely piece in eminence
red had long silver hair-like threads
from it and vas very pretty.
This new astrakhan was ordered as
the material for a gown to be fash
toned for the Princess Victoria of Eng
land. Undoubtedly both her sisters,
the Princess Carl and the Duchess of
Fife, will have gowns of the same
piece; for the daughters of the Prince
of Wales insist upon dressing alike,
though two of them are married.
Among the new gowns was one in
mauve satin faced goods, trimmed with
golden brown pane and Russian lace.
1t was very odd and at the same time
very beautiful.
Trieot cloth is a handsome French
cloth. 1t is lustrous and very much
like tricot but more elegant. Then
there is a satin 'tricot which is very
new.

This season you can obtain broohe or
Persian effects in satin or the heavier

them in foulards and pannes. The
heaviest and most elegant silks are
turned out in these marvellous Persian
tones.
Tunic cloth is a meterial that de-
serves a higher place in the social
scale. 1t is a variety of flannel rather
