bordered materials have been in vogue
American factories have been giving
special attention to designs of this kind.
The first of them We're brought over from
Europe and frocks manufactured from
them were placed on exhibition in the
rooms of a dealer who supplies large num-
bers of lingerie dresses throughout the
country. The cotton cloth manufa cturers
then told that they would be expected to
furnish materials in similar width and
quality with the same bordered effect.
Within a few weeks samples We're sub
mitted and the orders for the fabrics were
placed. Very few of the materials in the
cheaper lines OF colored lingerie dresses
are now imported. although they are
frequently sold as French designs.
Formerly the ready-made clothes of
women were confined to suits and waists.
but with the coming of the one-piece
dress came plenty Of models for this pop
ular and economical garment at prices
which frequently seem marvellous. The
semi-princess models have many advan-
tages, and one is that they are much
easier to put on than the waist and
skirt. The oft-repeated tales of the
would-be humorist regarding the trials of
the husband in buttoning his wife'S
dresses perhaps have been responsible for
reform in this direction for now many
womens dresses fasten on the side or in
front, making II easy for woman to
fasten them herself. The Introduction of
hooks and eyes is an economy of labor
and trouble that must appeal to most
women and men as d feature of the pres
ent Gay fashions for womens dresses.
The one-piece dress brought with it the
demand for the long coat, which has been
in greater favor
Long Coats during the past
two seasons than
An NAe"' 1"'0A' since the adoption
of the tailormade suit. Perhaps the long
coat came first and brought the one
piece dress. but at all events they are
here together, and at times seem to men-
ace the popularity of the tailored suit, al
though most outfitters believe that the
latter, with some notifications. always
will be in vogue for certain purposes. The
long loose coat has many advantages. Ii
is in especial favor for women who go
automobiling, and is in better form than
an elaborate evening wrap when the
wearer is compelled TO use street car
in going to an evening function.
The manufacture of women's ready
made clothing has originated two distinct
ly new lines of industry. viz, the lingerie
dress and the tailored suit. The lingerie
dresses are almost entirely designed and
made by women. The other garments on
the contrary always are cut by men, ana
most of the work. excepting some of the
minor details of finishing. is done by ex-
pert man tailors. The establishments

ready-made garments for women are

ton to the health and comfort Of their

Early Journals Of Queen.

The king has given permission for the
publication of Queen Victoria's early jour
nails. and Mr.. Murray announces them in
two volumes. with an Introduction by
Viscount Esher. The Letters of Queen
Victoria" published in 1907. threw full
light on the political life of the queen
during the first thirty-f1ve years of her
reign. with occasional glimpses into the
private life Of the court: but the period
of the queens career which is least
known TO the public is that between her
childhood and marriage.
Almost from the time she could write.
the princess kept a diary in which were
recorded regularly and ninutely the
events OF each day. Such diaries are
usually begun more or less under com
pusion and supervision. and the formal
ity of the earlier portion would seem
to afford evidence that this was the
case with the princess. But the chief
value and attraction OF this remarkable
record, which begins August l. 1882. is
the insight 1t gives into the growth OF
the queens mind and character.

THE ECONOMICS OF FASHION.
-Ready-Made Women's Clothes.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

The enormous development in the
manufacture of Teady-made clothing
presents several economic advantages to
the mind and pocketbooll of the average
woman. The style secured by the first
class firms handling these goods is
superior 10 that achieved by any but
the hiShest-priced tailors. This is
distinct boon to the woman who desires
To be we'll dressed with the minimum
expenditure of time and trouble. These
styles are not secured without effort
on the part of the buyers who select
the stock, but the women who buy them
know little of this.
The selection of collection of suits
and dresses for one of our openings is
more nerve racking than the manipula-
ton of the stock exchange" said the
head of a firm dealing with the highest
classes of women's garments. Il go

brought over to us from Paris by our
own representative. But Il French style
as 1T first appears does not meet with
the approval of the average American
woman 1t requires more or less modi-
hcations. These are determined upon by
a long series of conferences with ex-
pert modistcS and tailors. Then. hav-
ing secured the style. there comes the
quest Of the best materials and color
oringS in which to produce it. This is
another nerve-racking process. requir-
ing quite as much attention as a par
tcular woman gives to the selection of
some gowns for Il very special occasion.
Sometimes combination does not
give the effect desired and something
else has to he secured. The collection
OF readyto-wear dresses which we pre-
sent to our customers on our opening
day represents the highest skill money
can pay for. aided by Il judgment of
selection secured only by years of ex-
perlence. So the woman who buys one
OF our models not only secures a gown
or suit at less money than her dress
maker would charge for it. but she also
economies in her own nerve force by
saving the anxiety to how 1t is
going to look when finished, which is
a most important matter as every
woman knows"
The buyer giving this experience was
a member of firm handling clothing of
a style and quality appealing only to the
woman With affiuent means. Her creative
products range in price from fifty to five
hundred dollars Each customer knows
that she is buying u model that is not
likely 10 be duplicated.
