Horses Help Fashion

The horse enjoys a few. weeks Of
real Importance every year in tn,
autumn. when racing. hunts and
horse shows are in progress. And
this year, when war has changed the
whole course of fashions routine,
the big horse show now in progress
in New York has been seized on as
tremendously important opportun-
ity for displaying the new autumn
fashions.
Novelties are always introduced
at the horse show; it is claimed that
the first fancy-top boots were worn
there; and as the horse show runs
all day and part of the night, there
is chance to show the very latest
thing one possesses in the way OF
morning, afternoon and evening
clothes. In this year when every
city in the land. almost, has held a
fashion show of some kind, we have
grown accustomed to expect sartor-
ial novelties and surprises, and it is
safe to say that SO long as We expect
them We shall get them. 80.
Probably the smartest sort Of
morning costume is, still the coat suit.
In spite Of the increasing importance
Of the one-piece frock, and the grad
ual return to favor OF the princess
model, fashionable women still cling
to the coat suit, with becoming and
comfortable blouse for morning. just
as they cling to the tiny hat, with its
assuring manner OF staying securely
in place once it is properly adjusted.
Nine suits out of ten are still made
with fur trimming-in the form Of
collar, cuffs, hens, buttons and trim
ming bands. But occasionally some
thing very smart is seen in the reg
ulation tailor made style; rough Eng
lish tweeds, made with notched col
lars, and various other heavy, rough
fabrics, usually in mixed colors
The Washington herald., 1915-11-14

i showing green, brown and gray, are
especially adapted to this type OF
suit.
Velvet stiII Prominent.
| Velvet still is by far and away the
most fashionable fabricsof the sea-
son, for wear morning. noon and
night. To be sure, broadcloth shares
its fashion so far as coat suits are
concerned, but velvet is used, be-
sides, for one-piece frocks of every
description for daytime wear, for
evening frocks, and for coats for aft
ernoon and evening.
Velvet is becoming to almost
everybody. but it is a very disap-
pointing fabric. So far, it has ap-
peared to wear well; and for those
who can discard suit the moment it
begins to look shabby, everything is
satisfactory. But for those why buy
suit in the autumn and expect to
wear it until spring. there is trouble
when velvet is chosen. For velvet
does not wear well, excepting in the
very good qualities. 1t wrinkles dis
tressingly, too, and of course it is
almost Impossible to press it without
spelling its surface.
The moral OF this tale is, Of course,
to buy the best quality velvet you
can afford; and if you cannot afford
very good quality, not to expect
impossible things in the way of dur
ability OF it.
The fashion of fur and velvet to-
gether probably is one thing that has
done so much to bring such great
liking to both. For there is nothing
more becoming to most women than
the luxurious combination of these
two fabrics. And when embroidery
in metallic threads is added, the re-
suit is truly splendid.
There is some talk, of course, that
fur will soon soar to almost unap-
proachable prices and that then most
women will be forced to forego its
use. Well, the supplies of it that we
already have on hand, like the sup
ply of peroxide, which the war is
draining, will last for some time; and
until it gives out We are using it law
ishly.
Plush and velour are used on some
Of the smartest coats and suits in
place OF fur with very good results,
and OF course if worst comes to
worst, and the animals of the earth
do not give us the supply of pelts we
demand, We can use these fur sub
stitutes admirably.
Fur shapes.
Never before, perhaps, have furs
been so Interestingly shaped. Per-
haps it is because we are not so
afraid today, as we used to be, of
using everything, where clothes arc
concerned, just as so much fabric.
We used to have a certain respect,
for instance, for ribbons, that made
us use them in bows or little frills
and rufflcs in such way that they
still looked like ribbons. Today we
clip out little three-cornered piece
from strip of wide ribbon and coyer
a button with it. That's all we want
of that piece of ribbon. It's just so
much fabric.
The Washington herald., 1915-11-14

That, too. is our modern attitude
toward fur. We used to respect fur
to such an extent that we used il
carefully, considerably. Now we
cut it and clip it and snip it and
gather it and make it answer what
ever purpose we may have in mind.
Take the fur collars of the autumn,
for instance.
They are either whole skins, or else
they are tiny bands and bits of fur
that seem to have no relation to the
original shape of the animal. Muffs
are the same-either whole skins
fastened together. or odds and ends,
seemingly used with velvet and chif-
fon for a background.
The Gun Mum.
One Of the novelties of the season
it really isn't, strictly speaking. a
novelty, for it was introduced a sea-
son or so ago-is the cuff muff. Huge.
deep cuffs of fur are fastened on
coats and the hands are ciasped, so
that the cuffs cover them in a most
admirable muff. These cuffs are far
more convenient than muffs for they
can't become detached and lost.
There are the tiny melon muffs of
fur that are singularly in keeping
with the faring skirts and narrow
shoulders OF the present silhouette.
When the suit with which they are
worn has a collar of fur, OF course
no separate fur collar is worn. 9th
erwise usually a small choker collar
of fur is worn.
1t is an interesting fact that as fur
is increasingly used for trimming
on petticoats and corsets and stock
ings and shoes-it is less used in
muffs and collars. so many of which
show combinations OF chiffon and
velvet and silk.
