NEW MATERIALS FOR SPRING

4
The drapines and plaitings which
are so notable part of the fashion
able costumes this year have
brought to the fore a rarely lovely
assortment of soft dress materials
for the FIRST spring frocks. Fore
most among these are the cotton
crepes, a material which is having a
tremendous vogue in Paris and
which will. of course, be much in de-
mand here in consequence.
The new crepes are of wondrous-
iy soft fne weave, yarn dyed instead
Of piece dyed, which has made pos
sible beautiful changeable effects
such as we are used to seeing only
IN taffetas and silks. These shot
crepes viii be very much used this
spring, as will the glace cotton
crepes in both a plain weave and
those with patterns. There are also
giace crepes with velvet spots on
them that are novel and most -attrac-
tive, and, by the way, there are also
the thinnest of muslins now with
velvet stripes for delicate afternoon
gowns for the summer.
Supple taffetas and shot taffetas
will be very much in favor all
through the coming season, while
moire is also in favor once again,
while shot fabric of sheer faille
weave and known in Paris as Faille
Taffeta is being used for costumes
by some of the exclusive designers.
Soft clinging satins and tussah
silks are in vogue for this spring,
while duvetyne continues to hold its
own as the most popular material for
the street suit. Gabardaines and
serges, notably the cameps hair
serges, are greatly in demand, while
novelty suitings in Scotch and Eng
Iish effects will be used to some e. .
tent.
Plaids win continue to be worn
until warm weather, when they will
be laid aside for the delicate muslins
and bordered voiles Of the season.
The colorirgs of these summer ma
terials are especially lovely, very soft
and very delicate, although in the
cases where the pattern is in white
the backgrounds are of deep, almost
neutral tints. or of one OF the new
shades of blue.

JEwELRY FOR SPRING

Every changing season, with its
new styles. has distinct effect upon
the jeweiry, and while valuable
stones and necklaces are always
worn, the French jewelry is as tran
sient in its designs as the hat of the
moment.
Even expensive jewelry has, how
ever. changed greatly in design dur
ing the past winter, heavy settings
of all kinds having given place to
lace like designs of platinum, and the
use of solid bands of tiny square cut
stones to outline larger stones, and
the introduction of bits OF enamel all
show a new trend to the fashion in
jewelry.
The bracelet watch, too, Is much
to the fore now, and has taken the
place Of the watch and long jeweled
chain of year or so ago, and, in
fact, even the eyegIass and lorgnette
are doomed, and in their place we
have the era of beads.
The strong Chinese influence on
fashions this year is more or less re-
sponsible for the vogue of the bead.
and the Chinese prayer beads, with
their shade ends and long silken tas-
sells, are first in favor among fash
ionable women. These beads are of
varied sizes and colors and are re-
markably beautiful, but in the cheap
er beads the fact that yellow is the
fashionable shade has brought about
a great vogue for amber beads, long
strings of them for about the neck
and short, loose bracelets set with
the same inexpensive stone.
The smoky amber is more in favor
than the clear amber, though both
are worn, while the pale tinted coral
is also in vogue, and beads of vari-
Gus shades alternately with tiny
silver filigree beads are worn to
carry out the color scheme of
milady's frock or hat.
ct beads are also much in favor,
especially in Paris, and long strings
of them are worn to introduce
sharp note of black into a light-col-
ored costume. In fact, these Jet
beads take the place of the black
sautoir ribbons of a season ago.
Jet ornaments for the hair are also
much in favor, and this stone, once
considered a mourning ornament, is
now quite as fashionable as the COL
ored stones.
Among the brooches of the mo-
ment the V-shaped brooch is filigree
design set with seni-precious stones
is much in favor, offering, as it does,
a dainty finish to the V-shaped
opening of the modern blouse at the
throat.
The heavy gold bracelets are also
fast going out of fashion, and in
their place we have far daintier de-
signs of open-work gold, sometimes
set with stones, sometimes in fex-
ible links, or a simple chain design,
but very light and airy and pretty.
This lightness is also noticeable
in the La Walters for the spring.
The chains on which they are worn
are scarcely more than q thread,
while al the designs are open and
the Jewels few in number and small,
but they are exquisitely dainty and
far more becoming than the massive
pendants of past seasons.
What is more, all these ornaments
are suited to the fashions Of the
moment, and offer an excellent sug-
gestion for wedding gifts to the
spring bride or the girl whose birth
day falls in the months Of daffodils
and apple blossoms
