new FABRICS
FOR
The SUMNER
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Dame Fashion was in her most
womanly mood when she planned her
wardrobe for the coming spring and
summer. And being truly womanly
she was very dainty and fastidious.
and nothing but the highest type of
beauty, elegance, and refinement would
satisfy her. They are the acme OF ele.
CANT beauty of dainty refinement. They
are one of the finest expressions of the
things a gentlewoman would wear that
has been seen for long time. They are
essentially womanly, and of that gra.
cious type of womanhood which de-
lights in the quiet, the refined the ar.
tistic.
There are any number of new stuffs,
fabrics, and weaves we have not seen
before. But all bear the stamp of
Dame Fashions present mood-ele.
gance. refinement, and daintiness.
There is that restraint, that reserve
about them, that characterizes the
highest art. For instance, there Is a
filmy linen batiste with an inch and
half insertion of Arabian lace, but
dividing into narrow stripes the figure
Of the lace, small and exquisitely dain.
ty. Right In the center Is a tiny strip
of Persian embroidery, the soitest
most subdued Of the Persian effects.
but wonderfully rich and harmonious.
The whole thing is so exQuisitely beau
tiful that one stands and studies It as
they would a painting, and, like a can.
vas, its beauty grows.
But this is only one of the hundreds
OF beautiful things shown. Tan. or lin.
en- color. and pink are the leading col.
ors, and filmy light gauzy effects most
prominent in the fabrics. Patterns are
small and dainty and. as we have said,
exquisite in workmanship.
Linen chiffon is one Of the new fab.
RIGS; also Swiss plumetis with inser.
lions Of lace. The swisses also show
many Persian effects. but not in any
way glazing or gaudy. Pongenette is
also a novelty this season, and a very
sheer dainty beauty 1t is.
The hats shown with the cottons are
in themselves an exposition OF the
highest art in gowning. They are the
firms own creations and are as smart
as anything Paris could create. Odds
are in their favor that they would out.
rank Partisan hats before an Ameri.
can audience. They are as chic as
anything Paris has ever sent us. and
they are characterized by the quiet
elegance that marks the dress goods.
One beauty in Panama, trimmed in
the same color. has the edges OF the
ribbon bound with crash dotted with
velvet discs. II is essentially smart.
Another daring little chapeau that
would delight the stylish woman Is
Marquise In white, with the edge
bound in black and white. and for its
only trimming a smart cockade on the
front. But you may know that hat
with no more trimming on II than that
must have every line and curve just
right, or II would be a catastrophe.
This Is "just right"
But the exposition is one whose true
beauty can only beauty can only be
seen by visit and close study. And
whether one can own any of these
lovely dress fabrics should not hinder
womankind from seeing them. II is
educational, II is inspiring simply to
study them In their beautiful home in
the dress goods salon, which is itself
decked out in the seasons two popular
colors-linen and pink-in honor OF
their coming.
