No woman need despair this season
because her favorite silks and velvets
are unobtainable on account OF the
European war. American manufac-
turcrs have come valiantly to the
rescue, and so beautiful and distin-
guished are the materials now pre-
scented for selection-fabrics woven
and dyed right here in America-that
after the war is over it is quite safe
to predict that these American ma
trials will hold equal rank with i'm
ported stuffs.
Almost The moment war was de-
clared, chiffons, housselines and nets
of foreign manufacture jumped in
price, and women who had set their
hearts on winter evening gowns made
/ of these fabrics had q sinking of the
heart, but it was speedily discovered
that just as airy, just as beautiful ma
terials, in colors as soft and exclusive
could be obtained in the shops, and the
march of winter fashions has not been
one whit delayed as far as America is
concerned.
