New Materials

Chiffons are used, but not SO gen.
orally as they were. The materials
employed this season are very much
more expensive than they have been for
several years: that is. they are more
expensive because more elegant.
Various kinds of furs are used on
evening gowns. the two most promi-
nent being zibeline and ermine. These
two also figure largely as q trimming
for millinery.
This new tissue. which they call
velour de laine," Is really a first
cousin to that which we knew last year
as Ratine
Double faced materials are used a
very great deal for the coats and
skirts. Muffs are made III many in
stances of handsome brocades or vel
vets, to accord with the materials In
the evening wrap or mantcau.
Debutantes frocks still continue to
be made Of chiffon over white satin or
of plain white satin, garnished with
small flowers; sometimes the artificial
flower IS carried out in embroidery.
Sashes continue to be fashion note,
never hanging in the back. always
swinging from the side.
Character Dolls.
Perhaps the most Interesting feature
about the jointed child dolls Is the fact
that each type Is made after the por-
trait or photograph of a real child, and
Is often a copy of living child mo lei.
One traces the incentive to realism in
doll manufacture to lovely elderly
woman in Munich. She is an artist,
and one with deep love for childhood.
1t seemed to her that when one consid-
cred all the passion OF love which Il
doll inspires In the breast OF It's owner
that little girl ought to have pet
that looked more human than dolls
have been won't to look With this
Idea she developed in plaster dolls that
were exact limitations OF the various
peasant folk to who came to Munich
from Bayarian and other provinces
a Sunday. The holiday attire of each
native village was represented. These
delightful little figures of peasant life
attracted the attention of the Empress
of Germany three years ago at the
time whom they first appeared. and she
made Christmas presents OF them TO
the children OF the royal household. She
was delighted with the huinan-looking
manikins, and this fact did not take
long to spread throughout the empire
and reach the ears of Americans Now
the artist In Munich has several artist
assistants To aid her In developing uss

~HEMICAL tests made by the

~ by various colleges show that
adulteration In fabrics Is we'll

need for legislation that will prevent
such wholesale swindles. In many
cases retail merchants are innocent of
