Manufacturers have been extremely
dexterous in their handling Of the
garish reds and blues that go to
make up the foundations of nearly
all oriental materials, and have at
tanned the rich and warm tones that
are seen in genuine Damascan cloth
hundreds of years old.
The average woman will not be
able to handle these wonderful ma
terials successfully; but when used
by an artist, one who thoroughly
understands the color values and
blending of unusual materials. they
can be skillfully fashioned into beau
tiful costumes.
Such fabrics are very expensive
but only small quantity is used on
even the most elaborate evening
gown. Brocades are to be extensively
used this season in building after
noon and evening frocks. There will
be used also beautiful heavy silks
with gleamings Of gold or silver

At a display Of his gowns recently
few changes in style were noticed.
Waists are worn rather high, skirts
are still straight and most OF tho
bodices are collarless.
Two pale-blue dinner gowns were
marvels OF beauty. Each had q narrow
pointed train and white lace trimmed
the bodices. One had a folded fchu of
the lace. which was most effective.
Several afternoon gowns were esps-
cially lovely. One Of these had a mar
row straight skirt. made to touch. and
with a high waist line. The bodice was
of black silk yelled with chiffon and
had a deep band Of gold embroidery
across the front. II was cut rather low
at the neck and had sleeves which
came slightly below the elbow.

style. It had a band Of colored en-
broidery instead OF the gold.

med with folds OF soft silk and en-
broidered with silver.
Sets Of furs were on display suiting
the costumes to perfection. Regal sets
Of sable and erInine, worth q kings
ransom, were worn by the models.
Scarfs are extremely wide and
shawl-like. and muffs larger than ever.

The bands of velvet are Joined to the
mousseline with fagoting.
Decidedly graceful and stunning is
the fichu effect over a lace blouse
Mousseline de sole was used to drape
this model Short ball fringe formed
an attractive finish for the outer edge
The last design is more elaborate.
White lace Is combined with mousse
line de sole or chiffon. The lace insets
are triangular shaped. Medallions may
be used. or Vandyke point lace. The
panel. front and back, Is trimmed with
fiat velvet buttons placed two inches

There Is no need to cast aside the
lace or net blouse with these designs
to be copied.
They are extremely simple. and any
one able to hold a needle will find lit
tie difficulty in duplicating one of
these fascinating models.
Scarcely any time Is required to
make one Of these pretty blouses.

inverted box pleat at each seam, allow
ing an easy fullness about the feet when
walking.
An artistic wrap for street wear with
gowns OF velvet or charmeuse was OF
dark-blue velour de laine, with collar
and cuffs OF white fox.
Gowns OF changeable taffeta are still
fashionable. The newest models are
trimmed with scalloped ruffies. This Is
a decidedly new touch, for 1t means that
skirts are fuller.
The short Jacket and skirt OF a prune-
colored cloth suit was scalloped on the
bottom.
Neglgees appear with scalioped
fchus OF uessaline de sole or sheer
linen.
Dresses of pongee or linen for children
are attractive with the yoke, sleeves and
skirt finished with scallops embroid-
cred with bright-celored silk or linen.
A stunning evening gown of bright
blue satin brocaded with blue velvet
had a short tunic of r1ousseline de sole.
This was edged with a dull-gold braid.
TUNES of velvet appear upon many or
the gowns OF mousseine de sole.
Yellow. in all shades and tints. Is
exceedingly fashionable. Falest
corn yellow. amber chamois and
mustard appear In many designs.
For the tailored suit old gold and
khaki are used. These are trimmed
with bands OF seal or skunk.

dull colors Is used. These are charm
ing when yelled with nets or Gibbons.
The new figured chiffons are exquisite.

"HE girl who Is preparing her trous-

Il in dainty undergarments will be
