alton its uses in selecting such dress
and get one that will not crease nor
show the folds.
The ideal stuff is crepe. not the stiff
crepe, but the new soft Oriental weaves,
the delicate crepes which look so frail
yet will stand so much These crepes
come in every known color and they
have wonderful wearing properties
One Of the best wearing materials in
the world, for a house dress, is crepe de
chine 1t is tough. does not spot, never
wrinkles, and does not cut nor crease
Moreover, it is very adaptable and is
easily draped. 1t is ideal as soft, be-
coming. delicate house material.
A certain Washington woman bought
last year a gown Of gray Oriental crepe
something like crepe de chine. She had
it made with shirred hips and round
full waist shirred along the yoke. It
was trimmed with white lace. after the
fashion of the dresses of last winter
And yet it wore bravely for a season.
This January she has taken the same
gown and had 1t dyed plum cosor.

paramount importance. The hips must
be snug but not too tight or the ap-

The ideal materials are those that
Will not wrinkle nor full Up, but that
will adapt themselves to the situation
nicely, no matter how they may be
crushed, or how awkward the way in
