that fare to make frame for the

of novel sort. The machine is threaded
with heavy floss in desired color
and rows of stitching are used as
finish. At glance it looks like silk
cord applied. 1t is extremely effective
in spite of its simplicity.
Metal threads are liked for en-
broidery, too, and silver and gold fire.
quently are used not alone to give
brilliancy to costume but often to
relieve quiet tone. Grey is to be
much worn throughout the spring
and summer and grey with bits Of
silver and even gold really enhances.
Designers are quick to realize this
fact and to make use of the effect.
Narrow soutache braid is being used
as we'll as embroidery and there is a
very general tendency toward finish
of such sort, and since the embroidery
is none of difficult of accomplishment
and the braid is simply applied over
a stamped design, the work comes
easily within any needle woman's
scope.
Gabardine is pronounced favorite
for spring costumes. 1t is an ex-
tremely beautiful fabric and it has been
developed in great many ways until
we have silk gabardines and cotton
gabardines as we'll as wool gabardines.
How many of us / wonder stop to
think from whence the name comes
or what it means. Really the gahar-
dine is the name of garment, the
historic one worn by the Jews and
vr,t,s !, e., IL
of dun colored cloth held by cord
at the waist line worn by the various
Sherlocks Of our time. When the
samples of the materials were first
shown, someone observed it would
be good for gabardine and gabar-
dine was Immediately applied to the
cloth. Notwithstanding Shakespeare
and his famous utterance, names
certainly have their influences. On
the authority of a dealer of repute
and who does an extensive bust
ness, it may be said that the term
champagne as applied to color has
sold millions Of yards Of fabric that
never would have been bought hadthey
been called pale straw" or known by
any other prosaic name. At the mo-
ment, we are being shown blue that
is very beautiful in itself, so cool in
its quality that it seems especially
adapted to warm weather needs. 1t is
known as 'indivisible''. The color
was achieved by the mingling of the
blue worn by the armies of the North
and the grey worn by the armies of
the South during the lamentable
struggle of the last century. 1t is
called 'indivisible' as symbolizing
the Country as it now stands. Even
were it less lovely in itself the suggest
ion would make it worth while. As
it is we may be patriotic and romantic
without any sacrifice of beauty.

Very Smart
Serge Dresses

THE time was when the last few
days before Lent would be
= crowded with social activities and
with weddings but we do not make
of that season what we once did and
there is not the general cessation Of
gayety. so. that while the week is
somewhat crowded and there are a
number of important charitable events
there is no unusual stir. Here in New
York we are still interested in what
il to come and occasional bright warm
days remind us that spring is nearly
here.
n "A great many different influences
are at work as has been stated again
and again. ION one hand we find
the Spanish idea being utilized, on
the other the Russian. The Chinese
influences were commented upon last
week. Altogether it is season Of
variety and of many periods worked
upon to bring about something new
and our own.
From the Rivera comes the news
that the Russian blouses are being ex-
tensively worn. They certainly are
adapted to between seasons wear
and whenever fashion takes sudden
hold, it is apt to have some root in
practicability. The model is the con-
ventional simple one closed at the
shoulder and buttoned all the way
down but with high collar and deep
cuffs and is belted. Favorite ones are
made of liberty silk or Of silk jersey
in bright colors to be worn over white
skirts or lingerie gowns. Here in New
York, we are seeing these Russian
blouses made Of net, of crepe de chine
and of various materials. Evidently
we can reckon upon the Russian
influences to a certain extent. En-
broideries when used naturally follow
the Russian trend and how various
colors that are familiar in the Rus
sian work. The hlouses of jersey or of
liberty is Of just the comfortable weight
to make the little wrap that is always
needed for the morning or the evening
on warm day. 1t is apt to be be-
coming too and it probably will be
exploited to fair extent. The net
blouses that were mentioned in an
earlier letter will really make pretty
variation although at first thought
anything like net made in Russian
style seems bit incongruous
Bright colored embroideries on dark
colored gowns make another feature
:of the new models. Street gowns are
being largely exploited. A smart
one seen at recent opening is of navy
blue serge with embroidery in bright
red. The embroidery takes the form
Of a narrow border finishing the edges
of the over-skirt, the girdle, the collar
and the cuffs, etc. 1t is simple in
design but it is the color effect that is
sought rather than detail. Hand en-
broideries OF such sort are being largely
used and tailors also are using stitching

With Brilliant C0Iored En-
tdery Are

Sports costumes grow in variety
and in charm. They are really very
fascinating, they will make an all-im-
portant feature of the warm weather
season and they are expected to go
long way toward solving the problem
of summer dress. They are worn not
alone for sports but for general morn
ing occasions and are held correct at
any time before the dinner hour, there
fore simplifying the wardrobe in
very interesting way. Golf, tennis,
motoring and the like may be enjoyed
at any hour. To be gowned appro-
priately is in good taste. consequently,
one may indulge in walk, in lounge
on the piazza, a stroll on the bench
and appear at luncheon in sports
costume and, be absolutely correct.
The newest to have appeared are
made Of crepe de chine and is there
any possible use to which that salts
factory material cannot be put. 1t is
thoroughly serviceable. in good quail
ties it wears we'll, it is always attract
i've and it is delightfully."- pleasant to
wear. Applied to sports costumes, it
is made with straight gathered skirt
finished with hem and with patch
pockets and With the conventional
loose coat held by sash of the ma
terial. As seen at noted dealers
the color was American beauty red,
costume fascinating in the extreme.
Jersey or glove silk has been dis
cussed time and again for the sports
costume and it is constantly appear
ing in new colors and in new effects.
Pongee and rajah is being extensively
employed and the stripes that are
shown are marvelously beautiful in
color. Wide stripes are utilized for
the plated skirts that are always
effective from such material, and fire.
quently the costume consists OF a
plated skirt of striped silk with the
coat of plain matching the brightest
color stripe for the sports costume
must be picturesque, it must have its
nets of color and perhaps in that very
fact is found it's charm.
A new silk being used for the pur-
pose and which washes perfectly with
cut belonging really to the class OF sill ks
which are ia niliar to us under the
name OF tub, is known as la Jerz An
exquisitely handsome costume of that
material is made with skirt of white
striped with American beauty red and
coat of the plain red silk. The skirt
is circular cut on the bias and the
sash that holds this coat is edged with
fringe. 1t is an exclusive model and
a very beautiful model. ~
1t is astonishing how many really
thin materials we have that are durable
Crepe de chine has already been men
toned as being available for number
less uses. Georgette crepe has proved
itself of inestimable value and there is
new material in the market known
as will-o-the-wisp.
