%R5a true, and this is the WORD
WA which best expresses the
~ wa new silks dedicated to cor
| A onation year, writes ouI
IN special London correspond
ent. Eighteen-carat gold
the most artistic of de-
signs, and the finest of fiber go to the
making of the multicolored silken
brocades which we shall delight to
honor, and which WILL no doubt, with
equal fervor, delight to honor us in
the coming season, which has almost
come. Simple designs in gold, some
what oriental in effect, are interviewer
upon foundations as soft and pliable
as gauze, yet thick and solid enough
for the making of frocks unlined In
contrast to this there Is a very much
entangled and very elaborate pattern
with flowers entwined on waving lines
Of god, and there are further conven-
tional and floral devices in gold and
! silver on dark or light foundations.
The special attraction Of most of the
new silks is their double width, and
for the contrivance of the straight,
narrow frock it beseems us to ac-
knowledge this gratefully. Crepe de
chine is again an established favorite,
either plain or printed, or interviewer
with gold, and gold plays its part on
gauze, and on grenadine, and on
charmeuse. Altogether, when you
come to investigate a selection Of the
silks Of the hour you will cordially
indorse my verdict that sumptuous is
the one and only possible description.
What we shall do with these silks
remains to be seen, but, OF course,
they are primarily dedicated to the
service Of the court train or tc the
evening dress of our greatest demand
for we are to foot 1t merrily in 1911
On the whole it will be an economical
purchase, the gown of good silk since
1t may be relied upon to outwear the
gown of muslin or chiffon by at least
dozen times. A tunic and bodice Of
one of the brocades opening at one
side Of the front to show an under
skirt of lace and made with a short
wasted bodice with little lace about
the decolletage, with sleeves and bod
ice cut in kimono fashion-will repre-
sent the most patronized style, further
elaborate possibilities being supplied
by fiat or round gold cords and tas-
sells.
This reminds me Of a strange Golf
fure which was my neighbor at the
theater the other night This was a
fatty rolled turban Of hair with
thick gold cord resting about an inch
above the eyebrows and terminating
in two tassels above the left ear. The
effect was definitely curious and al
most as definitely Turkish.
Fashion is hot with the Oriental
spirit All the best theater cloaks are
of Oriental embroidery, bordered with
fur for the present, and liable to be
denuded of it at any moment while
much favor is still shown to pine-pat-
termed cotton as a foundation for day
blouses yelled with ninon Far newer
than this latter, however, are the pat
terened ninons which are inspired by
the work Of the Roumanians and the
Russians; and for our hats and wraps
we seem to have sought and found in
spiration in the great little Corsican,
for the upturned brim, the cockade,
and the shrouding mantle with its
military decorations all SAVIOR Of Napo- !
leon.
Very pretty these new coats are, too, |
and when diverging from the straight |
path they permit themselves gold, and |
black, and red braid, and gold buttons.
and lining of crimson.
There is a deal of crimson in the
market, indeed red, white and blue
are conspicuously loved, separately |
and together, and what could be bet
ter or more suitable for the moment? |
An excellent dark red dress that | |
have seen designed for spring wear
is fashioned with a short bolero and |
narrow skirt piped on to It well above
the usual waist line, a round, turn
down collar of Roumanian embroidery,
very tight long sleeves cut in one
with the bolero which has a vest of
white muslin with a soft plated frill
1t one side and collarband outlined
with black satin buckled with gold
n the center. A dark red legal hat
with a black cockade with
group Of blue beads in the center fin
shes this most admirably, and to be
worn with It has been purchased
ong coat Of black lined with red, with
spaulettes of black braid and small
gold buttons.
Talking of long coats remind me Of
capital specimen in raven blue satin
which met yesterday. This was cut
n one with its sleeves, the sleeves
icing rather wide at their base while
he trimming down the center of the
ront was formed by squares of Ori-
,ntal embroidery in different shades
# blue. and on every edge was a bind
u braid. and turned down at the neck
vas a small collar of white Irish lace.
nd the lining was Of bright blue,
,olor which was again repeated on the
rim Of the turban toque Of black
.rfnolfne which crowned all these
