klnd Of frock 1 like to make for my rich
customers though. 1t lasts too long and
serves for too many occasions. They can
afford to wear draped chiffon and hand
embroideries, n I see to 1t that they do
wear them"
There spoke the voice Of wisdom, but
OF course, many a woman cannot afford
the % q yard materials which are 80 lovely
In crepes, In chiffon faille, etc, and there
are many good silks OF this same general
character at $3.50 a yard, which is not
30 very expensive II one takes into con-
sideration the fact that the material is
full double width instead of the single
width with which we were familiar in the
old days.
But to go back to the subject Of chiffon.
Many a handsome frock built up In one
Of the more substantial materials, such
as crepe meteore. supple satin or cache
mire de sole, has its chiffon accompani-
ment not in the form Of tunic or complete
overlook, but merely as scarf drapery
more or less intrlcately assorted with the
frock. This is the sort Of thing which
demands a maker with the soul and hand
Of an artist and a wearer OF the same
quality; but the French designers are get
ting charming effects along this line.
A comparatively simply version OF the
idea is illustrated In a model Of which a
sketch II printed-a clinging, draped frook
Of supple blue and gold brooade with a
blue chiffon drapery falling from the right
shoulder and bordered with gold fringe.
Another handsome French model In rose
and gray brecade has q more complicated
drapery Of gray chiffon starting from the
shoulder, swathed around the body and
caught up in graceful fashion at about
knee height on the left side.
The brocades are asserting themselves
more emphatically as the season advances,
though so far they appear chiefly in very
exclusive models-a fortunate thing, since
they require the touch Of a master maker
to bring them into conformity with present
day ideas Of grace and smartness. The
rich brocades in white, black or color with
gold or silver are being effectively used
and are by no means so barbarie as they
sound.

Of souvenirs that before coming home she

summer frocks which had become too faded
for wear. Her mother industriously un-
packed the trunk and finally when reach

suppleness demanded Of the modern ma

one of the great makers has turned out a
