"Made in America" Silks are Superb :
the New Fall Colorings

We should be proud of the MADE in
America" sign and we should make it
the slogan Of success. Undoubtedly,
France has wonderful fabrics, she has
given generations Of study for their
making and she is not to be outdone in
certain WAYS, but the silks Of America
will stand the test of comparison and
this seasons output is OF especial
charm.
Purple and gold are to be pronounced
favorites in colors. Evidently, the
brilliant hues with which we have
grown familiar in the sports and
country costumes are to have their
own. Long Beach, is favorite resort.
1t is near enough to the city to be
easily reached, yet it is far enough away
to be comfortable. 1t is certain to be
the scene of good dressing. This week
gold color and purple have been con
spicuous. They are to be seen in silk
sweaters and also in the loose coats OF
faille and charrneuse and soiree, and
they also are to be seen enhancing
charming costumes Of white. A very
dainty and exquisite gown worn at
recent dance was, for example, made OF
white Georgette crepe with trimming OF
purple satin ribbon, and with great
many white costumes. purple velvet
hats were worn.
Wool Jersey isbeing largely exploited.
It not only is seen in the sports or
country costumes, but Paris is using it
for the making of street costumes. 1t
isa beautiful material and a serviceable
material and we shall be glad if it gains
a definite vogue. Every indication
and evesy hint of its favor is therefore.
to BE- welcome, and to be chronicled.
Alpaca will, unquestionably, have it's
place Tor street gowns, for simple
dresses and for uses of the sort. White
alpaca is being used to advantage at
seaside and mountain resorts. 1t is
really a beautiful fabric and it can be
treated in numberless ways but the
plated skirts are especially attractive,
and plated skirts are graceful, generally
becoming and comfortable to wear. SO
that they have been welcomed with
enthusian and are constantly growing
in numbers. The material lends itself
to trimming Of various sorts, to band
ing with braid and to braiding with

beautiful costume that comes from the
house Of Cheruit, is Of the white ma
terial embroidered with a blouse OF
plated organdie that is exquisite in its
eiaintincss. The charmeuse that has
been mentioned again and again is
being exploited in new models and is
being worn to considerable extent.
A very charming costume is of white
eabardine combined with white char
meuse aad in various ways the favor
Of the very charming satin is being
emphasized 1t is claimed that we are
to have winter hats of charmeuse with
fur trimming, but at this writing, with
the thermometer and the humidity
doing their worst, the statement is not
altogether an attractive one.
Already there is talk Of the blouses
Of the coming season, the blouses that
are to be worn with the tailored suits
and some interesting data is to be
cleaned. The R~ssian model seems
fairly settled and such dainty materials
as crepe de chine and Georgette crepe
are used for their making while trim
