NEW YORK FASHION LETTER
BY ESTELLE CLAIREMONT

Many OF the new patterns show exqui-
site hand embroideries and are
trimmed with lace flouncings and rib
bons of beautiful colors. The new ra-
dunn ribbons. which have a peculiar
bluesh cream tint of remarkable bril-
liancy, will be used much for trimming
understands (and promise to become
highly popular. The new color is quite
peculiar and striking and is highly eff
fective for trimming purposes in con-
nection with other colors.
The pOmpadour rose promises to be
extensively used this spring for deco
rative purposes on many spring goods.
Its use will be quite general and will
not be confined to the various kinds
of dress materials. 1t will blossom on
dresses, parasols. ribbons and even on
upholstering fabrics and wall paper.
Many of the newest gauzy cOttons
show the pompadour rose pattern, large
or small. the roses arranged singly or
in punches. There is even a new ma
terial. called pompadour crepe. which
comes only in some sort of rose de-
sign.
The same pompadour roses appear
on silk ribbons and the workmanship
in some Of the more expensive of these
ribbons is exquisite. The same design
is used in upholstery goods. sometimes
combined with tapestry effects and 1t is
also shown in some charming Gre
tonnes and chintzes and drapery silks.
no in
vaded the realm Of hosiery and most OF
the new fancy stockings, are embroid-
cred in the daintiest rose designs.
One of the surprises of the coming
summer season is the temperance OF
the plain linen collar. That style OF
collar and the wash stock. with which
go string or Ascot ties. are really the
only forms Of neckwear suited to go
with tailor made shirtwaists. 1t is
true, that lace collars with ribbons or
embroidery are more ornamental and
perhaps, more becoming to many
women. but they surely do not harmon
ize with the. severe plainness Of these
waists. Jas Ef =, -
