Never before have there been so
many beautiful fabrics used and COM
bined in such a variety Of attractive
ways. Beautiful velvets and pushes,
brocades, cloths or gold and silver, peau
de souris, wonderful metal meshes that
simmer delicately, and the silver and
gold embroidered laces that show high
degree of artistic care and thought, are
used in the garments of the coming sea
son.
Very odd, and equally effective, was
the black charmeuse run with queer un-
even little velvet stripes, used in suit
which typifes the beautiful effects that
can be attained by judicious and arts
tic combination of materials. The coat
very short in front and rounding to a
deeper length in the back, had a gold
lace ruffle falling over the skunk band
and the two velvet striped collars which
were. found ony in the black. From
under the band Of fur at the wrists fell
full ruffle of the velvet, while but.
tcns-ubiquitous this year-marked the
generous shirring at the waistline.
Prettiest of all was the fower-like
skirt. 1t was of charmuese from the
SHRED waistline to midway below
the knees where the velvet chaiice-
shaped ruffle appeared. Two or three
inches farther down the ruffIe was
caught in by an elastic and then al
lowed to widen out again over the
ankles. TT. .
The flower effect was again seen in
eerise velvet and satin evening gown.
Three deep rows of petals in satin and
a top velvet row formed the skirt. A
satin row of petals and one of velvet
formed the waist, which had a bit of
white chiffon to outline the throat as
the only dissenting color. The wide
velvet girdle was trimmed at one side
with large satin rose of the same col
lor, two festoons of smaller roses fall
ing from the large flower
In direct contrast to tie gowns dis
played are the hats, which show very
little trimming. Very popular is the
model which has varioasly been called
the Marquis, the Tricorue and the Con-.
tinental Generally small and tight
fitting, II has unexpected little points
and corners and juts off at queer, sur
prising and pleasing angles. These
hats are worn rakishly, at times having
a pompon standing out precariopsly
from the nppermost and outside corner
Of the hat. Que petrol colored hat was
edged with an inch wide metal band,
and perched in a little hollow of the
vertical brim was small metal bird.
An exceptionally chic hat of purple
velvet was Of the Canotier type. The
brim was very much longer toward the
left front than anywhere else, eurying
up slightly in softening lines, and tip
fitting the hat at q graceful angle
Nesting near the crown on the dropping
side Of the hat was tall velvet bow,
the only bit of trimming on the sailor.
The suit which this hat was designed
to accompany is of the same rich-color-
ed broadcloth but not of the same sim
plicity. 1t seems simple, however,
when compared with the elaborate
suits shown this season. The blouse
bodice of the coat closes to the throat
in straight line from the waist. Below
the waist it is cut away in front and
long in the back. Encireling the waist
are two little fat tailored bows, carry
ing out the idea of the hat. A high
standing collar of chinchilla squirrel is
slightly parted in front and bears a
rather striking lot of flowers at side.
Eur cuffs echo the light line at the
