Black Crystal for
Decoration.

The manufacturers In Paris who
are making the new ribbons for au-
tumn and the manufacturers who are
making crystal for the new winter
blouses must have had some secret
method OF communication that made
them join hands in promoting black.
The cables say that the ribbons in
Paris are bits OF art: that they should
he used on walls and as household
decoration, rather than on gowns.
They have black foundations, on
which are worked wonderful Chinese
designs They look as tho they came
out of the fifteenth century, when no
man was hurried ana each man loved
his task.
The black crystal is not exactly a
new note IN decoration, at least not
as far as Paris and a few ultra fash
ionable houses in America are con-
cerned. but the majority of people
have never seen or usd it. 1t is now
being produced in amazingly lovely
shapes, and already the public has
learned to appreciate It as a wonder
ful bit of decoration in the house.
good deal of this crystal Is en-
livened with n cherry red rim. Vases,
flower bowls, fruit plates, baskets and
candlesticks are some Of the smaller
articles of decoration that are shown
in black crystal.

ness and ornate sash. II Is simple
flair OF tan-colored rough WOODEN
cloth, such as the Russian peasants
wear. Its bodice Is slim, and the skirt
part hangs Imply against the figure
with slight fullness. There is deep.
square yoke outlined on the bodice
with half-inch tucks placed on the
material, and the simple, soldier-like
belt Is of russell leather.
There is no obvious fastening TO
this coat. 1t looks as tho 1t is slipped
on over the head but it is not. The
collar that goes with 1t is OF the ma
teral and is much the shape OF the
coachman's collar which we borrowed
from the French revolution. 1t is
fastened at the side with three brown
bone buttons A new kind OF Rus
sian cap is made to 30 with this Nolga
coat.
The American people are n bit tired
of any type of Russian turban, and
II was difficult for the commercialists
to sell them in any large measure
thruout the countries that lie west OF
New York.
The American woman. like the
French woman. is very fond OF her
broad -brlmmed hat, and she will get
It this seasSn In copy Of the Rough
nat NOIH DN our army III
France. The brim is unusually wide
and Is not regular In width. often
II swoops and scars and tlts itself
like an airplane.
Whatever else 1t may do. however,
II must be worn straight over tho
eyebrows, so that not particle OF
the front hair is shown. This is the
rule with every hat OF the season. The
type OF modified army hat has a loose,
collapsible crown which is dented in
or pinched together Often these hats
are made OF satin and silk and many
of them are faced with white. Re
member that it is quite a trick In the
millinery world to face new hats with
white cream or beige satin or crepe.
Echoes From Old Flanders.
1t was a bit difficult for the de-
signers to decide on what kind of
clothes they could make to represent
Belgium. 1t has often been said by
the psychologists OF clothes that what
ever is regarded with great anguish
by nation is never interpreted thru
clothes or music until the sorrow has
passed into retrospect.
Suddenly, France has determined to
go back TO early Flanders for her in
spirations. One of the new gowns
might have been worn by Elsa of Bra
bant 1t has the low waistline. the
heaping mass OF embroidery, the close
hanging train with its splendid velvet
lining 1t Is of heavy white satin.
with the bodice covered with dark
blue and rose embroidery, thru which
flicker gilt sequins The embroidered
train is lined with gold brown velvet.
The girdle. which is dropped far be-
low the waist, is merely n curved
band OF cloth OF gold.
The designer who exhibited this
gown put into the hands of the man
nequin a great fan of brilliant green
ostrich feathers. What more could
any woman built on the medieval type
ask of an artist than this costume?
