Among the newest dresses for chill

crepe. The use Of Japanese crepe is
directly in accord with the current
fashion for materials Of CREEPY char
acter. Moreover, the Japanese varie-s
ty is decidedly superior, both IN dura-:
ibility Of effect and in quality, to any
other crepe. because it ia woven by
