FADS AND FASHIONS

The plain SILK blouse Is undoubtedly
extremely fashionable and popular at
the present time, yet, blouse of chif
fon, exactly matching the color OF the
suit with which it is worn, when
mounted over some bright-colored sat
in, is such a pretty relief from the
sOmberness of the One-towned gown
that many women cling to it in spite
of what certain fashion makers may
say.
This blouse may be indisputably a
part of the costume and yet not be un'
becoming in it's dark coloring, and it
can be made as simple or as elaborate
as one pleases. For this reason the
yelled blouse will remain in first fash
ion throughout the winter season, al
thoubh it will be seen in new variety
1t is asserted that lace will be used
in greater prOfusion than ever before.
SO one may look for blouses of allover
lace in heavy weave, yelled with chif'
fon, tulle or mousseline de sole.
Every indication points to a ire.
mendous increase in the popularity
will the heavier types of laces be used
during the winter season, but that ev'
ell the very light varieties will be en-
ployed more extensively as the season
advances. Heavy laces, such as real
Venice, Cluny, filet and Irish effects,
will be much worn, as we'll as the
machine-made limitations of these
laces. The popularity of cotton and
silk marquisettes will make Venice
laces great favorites.
Beautiful patterns of lace or embroi-
dered designs on filet nets are to be
had which, when combined with mar
quisettes or other sheer materials pro.
duce some stunning effects. Real
handmade filet laces may be had with
hand-worked designs, but the effect
and finish of the machine-made imita-
tions are very similar, and these are
the goods that will be bought by most
women. Macram, Irish crochet and
Cluny will be much used.
Light laces, such as malines, or
shadow laces, and the Chantillys, will
be used alone and in combination with
the heavier types of laces. Flounces
and bands of white shadow lace will
be extensively used on gowns of satin
or sheer fabrics. TUNES and transpar-
ent coats of shadow lace or Chantilly
will be seen in every variety of form
Some of these laces will be seen in
wildly dyed colors as we'll as black
and white.
Wide bands on all kinds of laces will
be used extensively on dresses and
costumes. The extreme widths will
be used as a band encircling the
flounces of the skirts, and the narrow
err widths to match will be used on the
waist front and on the sleeves. The
popularity of these wide bands, which
may be had in width up to eighteen
inches, has brought out some interest
ing patterns in heavy designs that are
indeed stunning.
Jabots or plisses are extremely
wide and long. In the majority OF
cases they extend to the waist line and
over as far as the shoulder. The
shape is generally broader at the top
than at the bottom.
Sleeves for evening wraps are made
very large, and among the new models
are those having the long shoulder
line with the sleeves attached.
Draped skirts are as yet only mod
erately successful on this side of the
water though their popularity in Par.
IS is very great.
Ribbon trimmings are still in high
favor for millinery
