Uses sor Cretonne.

Time was when cretonne and chlntf
were used only TO dress chairs and
divans, dooTways and the furnishings
OF the house in general. Now it dec
crates the mistress herself, and one
sees her waistcoat fashioned of this
dainty stuff, her hat trimmed with the
same. and she frequently carries
parasol TO match. Cretonne has also
been used by French modistes for dee
orative purposes upon evening gowns
or. rather under evening gowns, for
the lowered material is set under the
chiffon or other thin fabric which wells
1t suffi iciently to give it the most artis-
tic effect. To give the trimming Of
cretonhe look of individuality, a
woman handy with the needle may
pick up with embroidery silk certain
motifs in the design.
