New York, May 2S-The fashiona-
BILE shops are filled with a wonderful
variety of the most delightful mater
ials for women's wear. New things
each more beautiful than the other,
are constantly coming in and there
seems to be no limit to the novelties
coming in from all parts of the globe.
Cachemire designs run riot in all
kinds of materials and are particular
ly good in the chiffons and moussel-
ines and in the foulards. These each
emire designs are what ON this side
of the water are generally called Per-
sian and have supplied the designers
with opportunity for wonderfully
beautiful color effects, but they need
to be becomingly handled and clever
ly veiled or combined with one tone
materials.
When the colorings are not the gen.
uine Oriental tones but are subdued
and exquisitely blended shades of the
seasons modish colors the problem
is less difficult than when the color
scheme is more intense, and the en-
tire frock may be of the printed chif-
fon without yelling. Some beautiful
chiffons and mousselines in bordure
designs have inch wide stripes of
white and color, with deep floral bor-
der in shades of the color or in har-
monizing colors. One such chiffon
seen recently was in alternating
stripes of white and the deep reddish
California violet tone, and the border
was in violet shading from deep to
pale. Another chiffon, in lavender
blue and white, had deep border of
lilacs in natural colors, from the deep
blush purple,to light pinkish blue.
Some of the changeable gauzes, chif-
fons, mousselines, ETC., are very lovely
and lend themselves to delightful col
or schemes, whether made over plain
color or chameleon silk. When hot
weather brings foulards into more
general wear we shall probably see
much OF mousseline and chiffon in
combination with this silk, for all Par
is letters tell of many such models
in the work rooms. Foulards will be
combined with one-tone silks too, and
also with plain satins.
Blue is very prominent among the
foulards, as it is everywhere through
out fashions realm. Never has there
been such season of blue, and the
list of modish blues is long, though,
for that matter there seems to be no
shade of blue which is not worn. Navy
for tailored costumes of the more Sc
we're sort, but the blues most pecu-
liarly of this season are the brilliant,
glowing shades, such as Bleriot, Rad
um, Kings blue, Flag blue, etc.
Periwinkle is immensely popular,
and the Nattler, caused and sea blues
are much used; but it is the brilliant
blue, of which radium is perhaps the
latets and most vivid example, that
is the prominent smart shade of the
day in Paris. Though so vivid 1t is
not crude but none the less 1t is try
ing to many compilations and like all
the brilliant blues will be still more
unbecomlng as summer heat brings
flushed faces. These blues are usu-
ally toned down by black and are at
their best when so used
Blue and white foulards in host OF
designs are much favored, and almost
every house worth mentioning has
turned out good looking models in
this coloring, though the dotted foul
ard has lost caste, and little cubes
squares, octagons, ETC., with an oc
casional striped design are preferred
Attractive foulard models are also
shown in the popular black and white
coloring, the foulard often combined
more or less freely with plain black
satin. A black satin coat and skirt
band with bodice an dupper skirt Of
foulard make a practical and modisf
trotting suit, and there numerous mod
els one the same general lines showr
by prominent designers.
The lovely golden yellows are con
sidered particularly good in foulart
and though combined with white they
are cool and pretty. The yellow ant
black foulards are newer and hav,
