But If the very tight gown becomes
too popular there are always the pep

Grecian drspery which will help them to
appear at their best.

Improved Materials

= VERY day the quality OF dress
materials improves. until now
the broadcloths are not easily
told from the satins, and the crepe
&c chimes resemble velvets. What a
wonderful opportunity it is for the
woman who loves soft. cliaging fab
rics. The present style of dress is
clinSinS, but what will the next be?
Now that the texture of materials
has changed. should Dame Fashion
lnaugurate a new style, will We lose
all these soft fabrics. or Will the
clothes of future years all be design
ed to suit the stuffs of the present?
By natural evolution the vogue or
the moment should result in the
hoped skirt. Can we have them
made OF satins and crepes?
1t is true that history says that all
Of the fashions have been. used be-
fore. But no age has ever seen such
perfection of quality in dress goods.
1t will be interesting to see what the
great creators of fashion will next
revive. There must be many classic
styles as yet unused from which
they may draw inspiration. There are
the garments worn on Olympia and the
early fashions OF the Chinese! They
might even revise-and, perhaps. III.

1.-THE capuchon of earlier has
quickly found favor in this coun-
try. and the debutante need have
no fear of being unbecomnsiy dressed
on her way to dinner party or ball. The
human face is prettiest when framed.
and when the frame is artistic the
wearer appears at her best. French
hoods are combined OF tules, of chiffons.
OF satin and of vclvets. They are made
on huge outstanding wire frames that
surround the head like calash of olden
times. But the reproduction Of Car
lier's hoods made in this country are a
little bit less airy than those in Paris,
for. while they may be trimmed with
lace and made of tulle. they are not
sewn on huge wire frames. They are
more like a hood or large. magnificent
sunbonnet.
Sometimes they are OF satin to match
the shiinmery evening cloak; sometimes
they are Of fine lingerie ruffies or chiffon

sometimes they are OF soft. beautiful

formed any number of frllls and furbe-

only requirement is that the cap shall
be large enough to encircle the couture
without crushing it. and that the finish

not too light too perishable, they may
also be used for automobiling or sleigh

dainty wearer appear like the reproduce

are particularly faithful copies, the hat
IS built to suit the age and type. There
is one particular style, called the tana-

be modelled after the Grecian tunic

gown is frequently Romney or a Louis

easily seen that If the shades are we'll

coming, besides being the very newest
thing. In Paris the prices asked for
these ornaments and lined ribbons are
very high: in fact IS to 50 francs are
charged for the simplest of the novel
ties. A great many golden or gilt orna-
ments are sold. such as roses. and these
are placed at q becoming angle in the
pompadour.
The ornament at the left-hand corner
is merely band of black velvet used
to encircle the pompadour and to hold
in place the golden rose at one side Of
the head.
The next idea is extremely new. in
that it is bit Of black velvet lined
with a bright green liberty satin. Both
shades contrast well with the coloring
OF the hair and the effect is one of sim

when the dainty wearer would not wish

Such an arrangement is the hood OF
swansdown attached to the broad
cloth wrap. 1t is lined with white otto
man silk, and the swansdown is ar
ranged on the edge SO that when the
hood is worn it forms a frame for the
face and couture and falls in long lines
down the front. This is pretty and warm
and obviates the necessity of arranging
a lace scarf on the head. II one desires,
the outer edge of the hood might be
finished with a stiff wire so 1t would
not settle on the hair.
