LOVELY EFFECTS I'M Vie NEW MATERIALS

geous materials a,s damasks and white
satins embroidered IN gold and silver.
and all Of US at times are Interested
In fashions and although we may not
be the happy possessors OF these won
derful materials, we love to know
that they exist.
There Is In every city and town the
elits class, who choose gorgeous ef-
fects for ball. mask ball and costume
party. These are glad to know a
touch Of Orientalism or OF royalty Is
easily within their reach. But many
OF these lovely effects work In to good
advantage and prove of excellent SER
vice for almost any dressy function.
Voile and crepe come in watered ef-
fects whose pastel surfaces are shot
with wavy line and floral leaf and
spray, also the brocades Of the sea-
son which are among the most beau
tiful we have ever known. No end
Of happy conceits can be effected by
the wise choice Of these materials.
Any Of them, combined with a plain
surface, must necessarily produce
beautiful costume.
In the gown shown In our first IL
lustration a charming evening dress
Is developed in a combination OF pale
blue satin with plain ground and
brocaded satin OF the same shade. The
overdress, and the bodice, with it's
long sleeves, are made of the bro
cade. The pleated lower section is
the plain ground. Black velvet RIB
bon, fashioned IN a bow at the waist
and at tunic hem by large, pink vel
vet roses, finishes the skirt. 'The waist
has a low-cut blouse of delicate pink
chhiffon. Turquoise beaded trimming
borders the neck edge Of the blouse
and runs about the dropped shoulder.
This Is but one OF the many dainty
costumes which may be evolved from
the combination of the plain and bro
caded or Powered textiles.
To wear with these handsome eve
ming gowns the evening cloak or long
coat is, of course, essential. In long
coats the fur for winter wear still
holds first place, but rivaling this and
rapidly gaining favor are the hand
some rough cloths. Many OF these
are so finely and cleverly woven that
| Il takes a second OF third glance to
distinguih them from the genuine ar
ucle. Heretofore the woman who
prided herself on her good taste in
dress would rather scorn one Of these.
Now it is quite the custom for the wo-
man Of society and means TO own one
for driving and automobling or for
evening.
To the staple seal plush the manu-
facturers have added asttrakhan,
baby lamb. Persian lamb and pony.
There is also chinchllla cloth. a very
soft material in gray. navy blue,
brown and red. These fur cloths run
as high as eleven and twelve dollars a
yard; and although the price does
not at all compare with that of the
genuine skin. they outwear fur. and
are almost, if not quite, as warm.
Speaking Of top coats, do you know
the separate jackets which Paris has
deemed so acceptable? In colOrs of
/ foliage green, mustard, mauve, taupe
and black, they are developed in char
meuse, velvet and that beautiful new
lustrous velvety material known as
velour de laine. They are made three
quarter length in Russian effect and
girded by fancy belts of patent leath-
1 er, usually in black or white, and fas-
tened by one or sometimes two large
/ buckles in front or at side front The
collars of these jackets are made OF
black or white satin, and may be
fashioned on the lines of the shawl
collar or of the well liked rolling col
