in the present dispensaLion of sartorial

a ribbon of silver or gold tissue OF very

An example of a waIerproofing foufard OF
lustrous finish and light weight is included
in the trousseaus Of the Easter Monday
brides. 1t has pearl-colored background
with tiny circles of deep red scattered three
inches apart over it's surface The lines
forming the open circles are the width of a
piGhead. and the gray spot outlined Is a
quarter OF an inch across. The gown has
corseiets skirt with a blousing top. Tne
corselet Is fitted by clever goring, and the
seams are all piped with the fouiard over
tiny cords. The skirt trails little BIT, and
lies ON the floor at the front and sides, 1t
being an indoor costume. 1t Is trimmed
with five bias fiounces, ranging from nine
inches wide at the bottom to five inches at
the top. The lower edge of each is finished
by fine cord covered with the material
These rufiles. being cut from circular sec
tons, are fiat at the top, and each is head
ed by a bias fold of the foulard, ranging
from an inch and a half wide a the bottom
to half an inch in width at the top. The
ruftles are PERHAPS an inch and a half apart,
and each is faced up from the corded edge
an inch and a half with plain red silk
matching the little circles in color.
The corset top is of course stiffened
and boned to keep its shape and is fin

The blouse top is gathered full at the

turning in toward the center and almost
meeting two side piaits stitched in down
far the knees The sides and back
are gored to fit, with the box plat down
the center having a single side plait on
each side.
To wear with this costume are two hats,
one OF which is a rather fat. oval toqae
of light coral-cevered satin straw In fancy
braid having coral-co,ored tulle around the
crown and covering the bandeau; and two
white ostrich tips at the left, caught under
bow of coral OF darker velvet. The other
is entirely of coral-colored tUlle shirred to
framework of satin-covered wires. 1t is
trimmed with sprays of silver leaves and
clusters of currauts.
A novelty in foulard silks is the so-called
waterproof weave. This variety of foulard
will not run when wet, and it meets a long
felt want, for, popular IS the graceful and
cool fOulard is for quiet dresses, ii has
been eschewed by mary because a spot
of water, q few drops from a passing rain
cloud, or a dash of salt spray meant q
pretty gown ruined.
Some of the new foulards have twill
with satin surfaces-they are the water
proof or. rather. waterproofed variety
and this particular weave sheds the water.
One manufacturer has brought out what
he terms shedwater silks, in both foulards
and IouiSires.
SG,I another and lightweight exceeding
lustrous foulard is called radiant foulaTd.
This comes in pastel tints while most Of
the other foulards have dark backgrounds
The radiant" foulard comes, OF course. in
different designs one such has a pale blue
background. thickly sprinkled with small
white polka dots and over this background
small designs in Persian pattern appear.
Another shows u pale gray background
printed with conventional designs
In purchasing foulards one should ascer-
tain whether or not they are waterproofed.
