FASHION REALM:


New York, Nov. 10, 1916.
Little did our grandmothers dream
when they sat together and worked
and gossiped at their quilting bees
that the quilting they did then would
furnish inspiration for dress trim
Mings for the women of today!
Certainly, the quilting trimming is
. very novel idea from the fertile
brain of our modern designer. 1t is
generally used in bands at the lower
edges of skirts and suit coats and is
also used as a decoration for collars,
cuffs and pockets. The work is done
IN Misunderstanding and usually the
same color silk as the background is
used.
The sketch above illustrates the
conventional diamond-shaped design
but other designs of less convention
III character are also utilized. In this
attractive one-piece frock of satin, the
belt and the lower edge of the skirt
are quilted. Some suits CT satin and
silk have been seen with quilting on
the collar, cuffs and pockets.

revealing contrasting vest; and as
to the high collar, it has been usurped
by the flat rolling collar. Some very
dainty models are of Georgette in
the prevailing suit colors trimmed
with gold or silver thread embroider-
les. The peplums are sometimes fine
ly pleated, sometimes gathered, and
very often they are adorned with lit
tie fancy pockets. Blouses Of this
type are made up for dressy wear
and they are not only IN self-toned
Georgette and chiffons but in flower

fabrics. They are worn with suits or

Present Styles Very Youth Giving
The woman who has not invested
in a one-piece frock this season must
feel very much out of the swim of
fashion. AS the days go by, more
and more of these frocks are seen in
serge, broadcloth, wool jersey, velours,
velvet and velveteen. When a top
coat is not necessary, shoulder cape
Of fur is the usual accompaniment.
Straight lines continue to be the most
approved in this type of dress, for the
fashion these days is to be slim, and
no better way of obtaining this eff
feet is to be had than by wearing
dresses cut on these lines. Fashion
-lispenses these youth-giving styles
most literally at present, an dit is no
wonder that women have taken so
kindly to them for they make them
Jock young and slender.
For producing straight effects, moth
ing gives better results than the long
unbroken panel and consequently the
panel is now enjoying day of popu-
larity. A smart effect is shown here
in the dress of black velvet with a
satin panel extending from neck to
hem. The bullying pockets add to the
style of this dress and do not detract
from the slender effect. Panels are
not all stitched down like this one.
Some of them hang 1ree over the
dress and are known as floating pam
els. A dress which has been specially
admired was of dark crepe meteor
with long straight panels back and
front in the form of an overdress.
These were in lighter shade Of blue
crepe meteor. They extended from
shoulder to hem and were confined at
the waist by a loosely-tied cord. The
Top of the front panel was embroider-
ed in silver across the front.
New Russian Bl0uses.
Russian blouses are gaining a
stronger hold day by day and they
have become so universally popular
that the name now stands for almost
any kind of blouse that has a pep

new forms. Many Of them slip on
