factorily carried out in wolfe de sole. and
the charming and unusual colorings are
also most easily effected, for the fabric is
so delightfully."- transparent that any lining
shows to perfection. Crystal, pearl. gold
and silver embroidery seems to stand out
from such background more distinctly
and if put over satin foundation shows
up the color of the attn, at the same time
keeping it's own individuality.
IMPORTANCE OF COLOR SCHEME.
The color scheme question is an all
absorbing one. and the endless variety OF
effects to be obtained in the embroidered
voile de sole gowns makes the occupation
of choosing the trousseau at the moment
most fascinating. A cinnamon brown wolfe
dc sole theatre gown. embroidered in gold
and made over a yellow satin foundation,
is color scheme that appeals to every
woman of artistic taste. Pearl or crystal
embroidered pale gray over yellow is an
other scheme that challenges attention,
and the pale yellow over blue is also
striking. One of the most attractive
models of the season is curious light
yellow. embroidered in cut gold and yell
low crystal beads. This is over founda-
tion Of deeper yellow satin. while the
daring contrast of natter blue is intro
duccd in velvet. a band of which finishes
the tunc. but is put on under the wolfe
de sole. On the waist is n large knot of
the velvet near the left shoulder. The de-

for it is quite too thin to be worn unless
under a heavy wrap for some months to
come. Cashmere de sole is a fascinatIngly
soft and fine material that lends itself
most admirably to any fashion that re-
quires graceful lines or close fitting eff
fects. 1t molds itself into the figure, it
seems to drape itself into long lines and
is of beauty of weave and finish that
makes it most becoming whether it is in
dark or light shades. 1t has a satin lustre
that at a distance gives much the same
effect as charml Use satin, and any en-
broidery of silk or elaborate trimming Of
any kind serves but to accentuate its col
oriug IL has been made up i'll reception
and theatre gowns and for the spring will
be greatly used for street gowns.
Wolfe de sole apparently is fashionable
for any occasion, one reason being that
there are so many different qualities and
weaves, varying from rather heavy to the
finest and sheerest effects. Some quail
ties resemble chiffon and mOusseline de
sole so closely that it is scarcely possible
to distinguish one from the other but
close inspection reveals a rather closer,
frmer foundation than the finer qualities
Of chiffon and a softer, more silky finish
than mOuSselinc de sole.
The present demand for embroidery on
the material itself can and is most salts
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1910-07-10

than the foundation skirt, and the folds
hide or rather modify the extreme and
eccentric narrowness. Then. if so desired,
the tunic is most deliberately embroidered
or is finished with wide band of en-
broidered trimming that makes the ma
terial itself much thicker and less trans
parent.
1t is said that tunics finished with
fringe will be very smart this summer.
and already there are many charming
models in the embroidered nets and tulles
that are made with long tunic effect and
finished with fringe of crystal beads.
For street wear when the weather Is
warmer the darker color wolfe de sole
gowns will be most popular. Black is to
be fashionable, either the all black. with
only touch of color in the embroidery on
the waist. or made over color or white
and with only black embroidery or trim.
ming Queer shades of dark blue and
green are very attractive and will be most
popular. but not the ordinary shades. EN-
broidery on the material itself-heavy silk
embroidery-is more fashionable than
bands of trimming, and then there are
heavy embroidered laces that are used and
that blend well with the wolfe de sole as
material. There is such variety of
choice in color and design that it would
seem as though failure were impossible.

sign was copied from an old French
painting, as. indeed, are most of the best
designs, and the coloring. materials and
trimmings are wonderfully attractive.
TUNES, plain and drapcd, long and
short, are most fashionable in the voile de
sole. and, as already has been stated. con-
trasting cOlors are popular. AT the same
time, the all one color is fashionable also.
Then the white satin Innings, in cream
white preferably. are also extremely
smart. A gown of white satin. with tunic
and waist of ole blue in yoile de sole. is
most charming and almost severely plain.
as the only trimming is broad band
across the tip of the low cut waist, which
has surplice folds that are most becom-
ingly draped. This model makes a smart
theatre gown and is one of the newest
designs.
The skirts tied in around the ankles are
certainly on the eccentric order, but that
the fashion exists there is no denying, and
the leading dressmakers are apparently
trying their hardest to evolve some modi-
iication of the original style that will be
possible and becoming. There are few
figures that can stand the fashion of the
skirts so much tighter around the ankles,
but the combining of two materials is
great aid to breaking the hard line. for
the transparent tunic can be much fuller

Paris costumers is "A fascinating
cloak made rather short, as it is made only
as long as is necessary to cover the very

A UST why one material is given the
n preference over all others is i'm
possible to say, but it is all in line
with everything that has to do with
fashion, and especially fashion as
regards dress. Some color, some
model and some fabric will sud
.ieny spring into prominence and at once
be "the rage" often identically the same
that has been before the public for season
after season without even attracting at
tention.
1t is one of the secrets of trade, and a
secret not to be indiscreetly divulged, and
the feminine population, as a rule, is |
we'll content to accept blindly the dictates
of fashion as regards colors and materials,
thereby saving a lot of time and thought,
for the woman who would be known "a
smartly gowned has a task in these days
that involves far more energy than the
world at large can imagine.
There are materials popular year after
year, and apparently no change of style or
fashion affects them. Chiffon has led a
charmed life for a longer time than would
be credited and still survives and is in
constant use. Silks, satins, velvets all
vary in popularity as regards design and Ii
weave, velvet being singularly sensitive to
criticism. OF late years there has been a
much more practical view taken of ma
terials, and in consequence life is far more
bearable. Not only is a determined effort
made to produce materials suitably light
and cool for summer, but CORRESPONDENCE
heavy and warm for winter, while at the
same time fashion DEGREES the wearing in
heated houses of the same thin fabrics
that are appropriate for summer.
CLOTHES QUESTION SIMPLlFlED.
In consequence the whole question of
dress has been simpliied, and there is no
such expenditure of time and labor spring
and autumn in putting away clothes for
the next season, with the exception of the
heavy winter street and fur garments.
Wolfe de sole and cashmere de sole are
two materials of which much is heard |
these days, and both are in great demand
for every sort and description of gown for
day and evening, for house and street |
wear, although this is rather too sweeping
a statement as regards the Voile de sole,
