Nine. Poincaire will receive it as a
gift from Lyons, and some great
dressmaker will prepare it,
This piece of cloth is not the only
evidence of what the manufacturers
of Lyons believe to be possibly near.
Literally, a half mile or so of gold
and silver brocade has been woven
and is now held in reserve for the
celebration of peace. This weaving
represents the very highest pinnacle
of the craftsmanship of the master
weavers of Lyons.
1t Is said in exclusive circles that
the purchase of all of this brocadc
has been arranged for by dressmakers
and individuals of power and prestige
in Paris.
Another new silk which was shown
at Lyons and which Is said to be very
beautiful is called La Soleil de la

for its workers to reflect their hopes,
their sacrifices and their faith in
terms of fabrics and women's clothes

The marine cravat, which is the
dominant caprice of fashion in this
country, since America went into the
war, is made up in colors, as well
as in black. The regulations in our
navy call for the latter color. 1t is
an interesting fact that the English
navy ordered these black cravats as
a symbol of mourning for Lord Nell
son after the battle of Trafalgar.
With Characteristic observance of
tradition, the British government has
never suspended this sentence upon
the sailors. The American navy fol-
lows the tradition. but 1t is safe to
say that many thousands of its men
do not know why they wear the black
cravat

describe the reasons for trembling,
but everyone who has tried the cx-
pertinent of trying to get into de-
tectiveg guarded French house on the
day that the clothes are shown knows
full well the courage demanded for
the task
There are leaks, however, from the
great French workrooms, as well as
from our departments In Washington.
Somehow, somebody knows the truth.
1t is an astonishing fact that such
department stores as the Galleries La
fayette and the Louvre win have the
new models of the season ready to
sell few days after our buyers have
seen the originals. And it is also
amazing that the minor dressmakers
will give you on Friday the exact
model that a great house has shown
on Monday. The natural suppositioll
is that what occurs in America &C.
ours in France. Those who are en-
gagged in the workrooms sell their in
formation to outside dressmakers.
1t is for all these reasons that the
French houses are guarding their So

that General Pershing shows in
guardings the dispatches about our
