CrinkIed Crepe FrOcks.
Crinkled crepe frocks with calico de
sign in bright colors are as smart as
the models developed in silk In fact
the cotton fabrics are frequently EN-
ployed to duplicate the original de-
signs in silk. 1t does sometimes hap
pen that silk is an expensive PROPOSE
ton, for instance when it comes in the
MORE and Dresden effects, but it is
the vogue of the moment and one must
have it in the original of duplicate
Flounced skirts continue to attract
extends above the knees, but not quite
to the hips, is new idea, because the
edge of this f1ounce overlaps the upper
part of the skirt and is shirred to form
a heading.
Use Plenty of RuifIes.
AS regards the fiat ruffles and tunic
effects, one can not nave too many of
them if there is sufficient height to
support them. They all are placed be-
tween the raised waistline and the
knees, however, so that their width
must be gagged accordingly.
Plated fabrics are much used in the
present fashions. There are straight
plated skirts with f1aring tunics or
puffed panniers at the hips that are
good models for taffeta frocks. Some
times the fulness is held in with hip
yoke, sometimes it is not held in, but
is rather accumulated by the panniers
or tunics.
Some of the latest silk frocks have
skirts trimmed with as many as a doz-
en- fiounces ranging from two to five
inches in width. These frills are es-
pecially smart finished with scalloped
edges that are hemstitched.
Odd Check Combinations.
Checks have not given their place en-
tirely to plaids There are many suits
made entirely of checked cloth in odd
combinations = brown and grey, blue
and grey, green and brown among
them.
There is no lack of plaid materials
used in the gowns at the smart shops.
Strange to say, there is more plaid
than Roman stripping, and earlier in
the season it was the other way around
at the great houses. This fact is in |
teresting. A few models, which are
quite popular, are made with an in |
definite Roman stripping and dark blue |
gaberdine combined; the former fabric |
is used for the narrow skirt, the wide
cuffs, the long, high collar and low at |
back of belt; the dark blue gaberdine |
is used in three deep ruffles that slope |
away to nothing IN 'front.'.
But the majority of the models
shown and offered as the most popular
choice of Paris have plaids and not |
stripings. with blue, black, and deep
mustard yellow.
Footwear Not Changed.
The hosiery men and the bootmakers
have nothing to fear from the fashions
of today They may go on with their
extravagances for at least six months,
for even is skirts get wider at the hem,
they will grow steadily shorter. OF
that there seems to be little doubt
among experts and onlookers.
If woman is going to travel great
deal and do much sightseeing, two
cloth suits and one of linen or silk
will be needed TO last through the sum-
mer, with several hats and about six
waists. But no matter how assidious a
traveller may be the afternoon and
evening clothes must not be left at
home if any time is to be spent in
cities where there are theatres and
restaurants to visit. II
The Fashionable Shades.
Where evening gowns the concerned
a subtle combination of yellow and
green is very fashionable in gauze,
chiffon and thin silk. Indeed, yellow is
in all its shades is the color of the
year and green is running in very I
close.
