will be under the thrall of the Cubists
influence.
America is already showing Cubist silks
and ribbons and there is quite an absurd
tendency on the part of a few designers
to produce Cubist fashions.
1t would be difficult to believe that
women would allow themselves to be led
into the latter but it is certainly true
that the civilized world will wear Cubist
silks this spring.
A little of these goes long way. yet
one designer has gone SO far as to make
one of those queer convoiuted Russian
blouses out of a bTilliant silk of this kind
made in the Viennese workshops. which
but the majority of buyers have looked
at it and passed on.
1t is quite true that women will indulge
their savage instinct for color by wear
ing coats of empire green. Balkan blue
and nell-rose pink, with skirts Of brown
and back and gray, but they do not go
in with zest for the Cubist coat. This is
color run mad.
1t is rather amazing how quickly the
human mind becomes accustomed to
shocks. A red coat with black skirt
was seemingly an assault on ones artistic
senses a few weeks ago and now we not
only think of them calmly. but wear them
with serenity.
There was day not long ago when
broad plaid design used for a skirt. and
a solid color used for coat. was con-
sidered SO conspicuous that none but a
woman i'm the limelight would wear it;
now, bless you! the average woman buys
such a combination without thinking
twice as to its theatrical appearance.
Gowns as Pa1ettes.
The names of the new colors are
enough to suggest their brilliancy, and
when these are mingled you may well
imagine that woman's gown looks like
a palette.
!. 1t would be exceedingly difficult to out
Vine with any conviction to the reader
what some. OF the seasons combinations
will be. The three Balkan colors, which
are red, yellow and blue. are freely
mingled in every costume, but. after all,
this is not decided novelty to our eyes
because of the frequency of red. white
and blue in many recent costumes.
1t is when brown, yellow. violet and
pink get together in one frock that We
stand aghast and wonder who did it.

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

One need never hesitate when choos-
ing striped materials on the score that
they are not being worn, for hardly
season goes by when they are not more
or less in evidence, though there are
different modes in stripes. The broad,
pronounced ones of brilliant co.oring will
not be used this year, but the fine, pencil
lined materials promise to be popular,
especially in thin fabrics such as wolfe,
marquisette and chiffon.
Entire dresses OF striped goods are not
SO much in vogue as those which COM
bine striped with pain material In
this way chiffon with delicate rose
stripe on a gray ground color will look
very well with plain gray charmeuse. or
a fine blue and white striped wolfe COM
bined with blue ratine will be smart.

1t is a temptation to talk colors. When
the designers decided not to introduce
anything startiingly new this spring ana
work up the Turkish and Balkan Co.'S
tunes with cutaway coat thrown in for
conservative tastes, they knew that the
play for this year would be in colors and
fabrics. Both are so wonderful that it is
difficult to hide ones enthusiasm.
OF course, every one realized that bril-
liant colors in the hands of those not en-
tirely great are dangerous things. They
promote universal form of dressing
that looks as though some artist had
splashed all the colors on his palette. But
that does not concern the artists who live
in. region quite remote from the needs
and economies and limitations of the
mass.
In lieu of something else to do they
turned to a masterful mixture of colors
to show how far they really could go in
this line, and, let it be, whispered. how
well they could outwit the copyists. A
minor dressinaker and a designer for an
inferior house may learn how to cut a
new skirt or bodice and cleverly initiate
the caprice OF a sleeve or the wiiim Of a
collar: but they cannot initiate color
combination when it is difficult to dye the
shades and It is not possible TO buy them.
One designer has a private dyeing es-
tablishment.
1t looks as though the great designer
had the minor one at her mercy at last.
You know there is q perfect tempest rag
ing in the sartorial heavens concerning
the copying of French gowns, which is
done in order to increase the trade in
America and save the American buyer 8
money. All sorts of schemes and meas
ures have been resorted to without avail,
and it is very probable that this innova-
ton of quaint and gorgeous .colors in
manifold combinations Is one of the canny
tricks of the French to keep their inven-
