NEW AND POPULAR FABRICS
That They Lend Themselves to the
Graceful Draperies Demanded Is
Their Recommendation.

The touch of the Oriental that is
noticed in the spring styles requires
that a fabric be used which lends it.
self readily to graceful drapery. One
particularly adaptable material is
etamine, which is more popular this
spring than it has been for several
seasons. The robes of handdrawn
etamine are truly beautiful. The
drawn-work appears in bands of grad
Hated widths, forming very hand
some border for the robe A narrow
band of drawn-work is done along the
opposite edge of the material to be
used for the smaller trimmings. These
Examines come in all the vivid shades
that are to be so much used.
Among the silks, fiuer de sole, a
new form of taffeta with an extremely
soft finish falls in the most graceful
lines. 1t comes in very new and un-
usual tones. in both plain and figured
surfaces. The floral designs that APP
pear on many of these new silks seem
somewhat stiff at first sight. but one
soon realizes how very well suit ID
they are to the period costumes 10
affected by our best gowned women.

vogue are exact copies of some Of
