CHINESE FASHIONS
POPULAR IN THE EAST

brOcadeS, as well as on more severe
tailored suits. These latter often
show collars and vests of vivid Chinese
embroidery and your new spring bon
| net could not boast a more chic trim
ming than crush of brocade Chinois
around the tiny crown.
Chinese skirts in the original GER
talnly possess as many varies uses as
the famous pOrker, whose only loss is
its squeal. The front and back nan
els, with their rich embroideries in
Pekin stitch, make exquisite long sailor
collars which will miraculously turn
your commonplace frock into vertia-
bic creation. The yards on yards of
tWo-toned Chinese blue embroidery
landings make trimming galore for a
stunning gown and hat. A striking
parsol in these days of unique ones.
Is made from the skirts pleated and
embroidered sides, and an equally ef-
fective piano lamp shade can be eyoly-
ed from the same, with the addition
of the panels.
Au naturelle, the skirt makes an
artistic display for your baby grand,
the scraps make quaint mats for the
center table-and there you are. From
the latter uses, it may plainly be seen
that the craze Chinois has verify
struck home. Indeed, latest designs
In tapestry for upholstery and even
wall papers and windows and door
hangings are all in gold-threated Chi
nese motifs on backgrounds of black.
Waist lines seem seized with the
giddy skidding from just below
the bust down to the hip line, with
stopOffs at the normal and semi-Em-
pire zones. It's case of here today
and there tomorrow, and it's going to
be mighty hard on the 1913 spring low
er too. Before encircling the waist
of his fair lady with his strong right,
he will first have to discover where
said waist may be at the time of go
ing to press.
The abnormal long waist as affected
by Nine. Nazimova in Bella Donna"
and shown in the new Russian blouse
frocks Is go very extreme that it is
bound to become more OF a fad than
a fashion. Then, too, as is always the
case in these freak fashions, 1t is be-
ing cheapened by too constant repeti-
ton.

NEW YORK, April IA Chinese In
vasion is upon us. Fifth Avenue has
already capitulated and Dame Fashion
has bowed her head beneath the yoke
Of the Orient. It's a lovely yoke
though, all hand-embroidered with
threads Of gold and gorgeous silks, so
you may well rejoice at this utter sur
render to mode la Chink.
Possibly there is not a garment for
the spring that does not show some
Chinese tendency. Sometimes it IL a
lavish use OF Chinese embroidery and
again it Is merely the cut of Il coat
a la mandarin or a Satsuma button or
two. OF course, you have been wear
ing one of these marvelously embroid-
cred mandarin coats as an evening
wrap for some time, but the new
three-quarter coats that the smart
shops are all showing are Chinese in
shape only and in material simply dull
shades of crepe broche, with an edg-
ing of self-toned ball fringe In fact,
they are merely an occidental version
of an oriental original.
If your sartorial income is limited,
get one Of these coats by all means.
They are good always and all ways.
Their lovely drapery is equally adapt
able to an afternoon gown, an evening
robe or over the filmy lace of your
warm weather lingerie frock
From coat to skirt is but short
step. And, praise be. will be through
with short steps altogether if the
Chinese skirt is as great a hit as it
promises to be. 1t is cut on exactly
the same graceful lines as the vivid
embroidered affairs affected by the lit
tie yellow ladies across the China sea.
AS worn by Miss New York or Mile.
Paris, however, the materials are
more circumspect serges, eponges or
crepes. With the panels back and
front and the pleated fullness between,
you can take good long stride with
out a stumble. Puddles can crossed
with impunity and street cars can be
boarded without the combined aid of
the conductor and the traffic squad
The exquisite Satsuma and carved
ivory and jade Chinese buttons are
used with telling effect on the many
short coates and wraps OF velvets and

1t seems, according to Paris models,
but for street and afternoon wear, the
preferences are for normal or slightly
raised waist lines. Some few of the
newest bodices show a long pointed
waist, like the old-fashioned basque
so take your choice.
One thing is certain, however, the
waist-line MUST be girded by sash.
Wide crush sashes of Roman STRIPES,
Futurist silks or plain chareuse and
gay Oriental sashes wrap you like
the belle of the harem, or the ingenue
sash will make you look like a Laura
