Yelling Effects.
New York, May 7.-Some of the
new materials displayed in the fash
ionable shops are exquisitely beauti-
full and their variety is bewildering.
Wolfe de sole and cashmere de sole.
chiffon broadcloth, liberty satin, sat
in charmeuse, satin crepe de Chine,
all these and many more are shown
as suitable for the summer gowns.
Foulard, tussah, royal pongee and
rajah are shown in such an endless
selection of color, weave and weight
that it is difficult to select under
standingly. The choice must neces-
sarily depend upon the purpose of
the gown for which the material is
intended.
The afternoon reception gown,
suitable for luncheon or card party,
is this season elaborate in design
and the transparent materials are the
best for it, especially voile de sole.
The yelling of one material with an
other, and one color with another
produces most charming effects and
dressmakers vie with one another to
be original in inventing combina-
tons.
A charming gown of figured chif-
fon or crepe is yelled with a loose
tunic coat or drapery of black; a
fascinating snuff-brown chiffon, with
border of yellow roses, is yelled with
a loose coat tunic of the more trans
parent wolfe de sole of the same
shade, and the effect produced by
these two transparent materials is
extremely pretty. A more elaborate
style of gown, suitable for dinners
or the theatre, is of liberty satin in
a charming shade of gray. This is
yelled in wolfe de sole a shade light
er or darker, the wolfe put on to
form long fiat pleats. The effect
gained is far softer than if the en-
tire gown We're of the satin and be-
sides is more up to date.
The liberty satin, crepe de Chine
and the cashmere de sole gowns
made on the absolutely simple drap-
ed design are most attractive and
becoming, and are conspicuous for
their almost exaggerated simplicity
in contrast with the overelaboration
intricate and exaggerated fashions
that so challenge attention this sea-
son. A perfect figure has every de-
tail of it's perfection exhibited in
the draped gown with long skirt and
surplice-draped waist. The girdle OF
striped silk or satin, with its long
ends finished with tassels, is not es-
sential, but is hatcher a novel touch
that some like and others dislike. 1t
is not gown suitable to every fig
ure, and yet it is astonishing how in
the hands of an expert this model
of revealing defects it conceals
them
quisite material that is becoming
more and more fashionable of late
1t has been made up in three piece
costumes, skirt, waist and coat tC
match, and for that purpose has
| been proved without a rival for
summer wear. 1t comes in all grades
all designs and colors and the shades
of colors are endless. In black II
has sheen and finish that make il
appear likes the softest satin, but
with a body that the softest satin
lacks and which makes it possible
for street wear
The mania for yelling effects is
steadily growing and the French
makers are in love with the idea o.
very simple yelling of chiffon, mar
quisette, tulle or silk muslin, the
elaboration of the frock being be
slowed upon the under robe OF
foundation. The results are admir-
able. for beautiful embroideries
laces and other trimming, some o
which would be somewhat too gor
geous or pretentious, take on sub
tie refinement when seen through |
cloudy yelling. With the aid of veil
ing too colors otherwise too yoyan
or vivid for general wear are tonet
down to becoming softness, and tn
artist designers accomplish marvel'
in the subduing of materials beau
tiful but too pronounced and trying
for successful frocks.
