Dressmakers are using the pompadour
silks IN the making OF kimonos and
then there are kimOnO cloths which are
OF japanese origin ready 10 be made up
without trimming These Jauanese stuffs
are 50 very decorative that they give the
impression q great richness without in
reality being more costly than the printed
stuis at the calico counter. Some Of
them are positively regal in their gold
markings, with purple setting of the gold
and OF course plenty Of red.
Where the japanese gown is long the
lower edge shoGld always be trimmed in
a band Of embroidery. and for this the
needle may be used. Great stitches in ia
miiiar embroidery style can outline the
chrvsanthemum or the ounce blossoms
aud make a deep floral border all around
lne loot OF the garment.
The kimOnO has one advantage over
other garments Of equal beauty. in that
L Is very light without being in the least
diaphonous In material. Ii is always
made Of opaque cloth. necessitating no
underslip other than ones ordinary I'M
derwear
The japanese have clever way of
weighing these thin goods so that they
do not fy with the wind Around the
hem, for a depth Of eight inches or foot
they place n cotton wadding. which is
hidden In the lining. yet which weighs
down the skirt lust comfortably This in
no way makes the kimonO warmer. vet Il
gives it certain very nice, body or sub,
stance. which Is very much appreciated
by those who have been embarrassed by
the slinkiness of silk long robes.
Those who care 10 do SO can take the
kimono cloth and applique wonderful fans
Of gilt upon Il and trace designs in silver
thread. Strange. staring black animals
can be cut out of black silk and applied
here and there and swiris of gold and
silver can be introduced upon the bodies
OF the animals. The Japanese have an
art In all they do; so, in initiating Jan
anese work one would do well to obtain
genuine Japanese garment from which
one can copy designs, as in no other wa
can so much high color be reached with
ont disaster 60 the design.
