Word comes from Paris that the
finest qualities Of velvet will be the
fabrics of fashion for this winter.
These velvets are called zephyr and
mousseline because of their excessive
supplenesS. They are described as
light as n breath" France is also
designing many fancy velvets, espe-
cially In striped designs. There are
also checked velvets for tailored
suits. There are brocaded velvets for
evening wraps. The famous design
Of sprawllng japanese trees on a

There will be new kind of plush
called grenadler, which is copied
from the headgear worn by the Old
Imperial Guards Of France. 1t is
still worn by some of the crack Brit
ish regiments as u part Of their dress
uniform. This will be used for hats
and for trimming gowns.
There viii also be several weaves
