it is far more effective than satin and strikes
a newer note Deuillet has used good deal
of it in his new models; 50 have Jenny and
Premet. 1t lends itself to the fiat peating
that we borrowed from old Egypt and used
whenever we were confronted with the ne
cessty for a graceful, straight line.
Brocades are more effective because they
are not so common as they have been. They
have been fashioned with skill and care and
they show it. Black brocades with leaves OF
silver, pale gold brocades with great flowers OF
dull blue and black, midnight blue brocades
with spreading leaves Of silver and mauve, are
some of the designs that are built into even
ing gowns that have waists made of different
but harmonious fabric. These brocades can be
draped into skirts of great dignity, and then
medieval waist built from solid gold tissue
band and jeweed net over the shoulders.

the designers like the idea Of the combination
coat and cape so we'll that they have decided
to continue it and trade upon women's liking
for comfortable garment in order to secure
large sale for it.
The sketch shows the kind of wrap that has
taken the fancy of women and is exploited by
the taors 1t has warmth and beauty The
topcoat is likely to be bulky and it gives lines
that are not always becoming to the figure,
but the cape usually reaches high degree of
artistic perception. Therefore, when gar
ment has a cape back and a coat front it in
sures to a woman an attractive silhouette and
a comfortable warmth.
The garment as shown is made Of one of
those new and admirable materials which are
velour on the outside and jersey on the inside.
The velour is in dark gray-green and the
inside Jersey is of bright scarlet. 1t is this
combination of colors that gives a decidedly
military effect to the garment. The fronts
are double-breasted, in order to keep the body
warm, and the handkerchief collar is draped
high around the ears and back Of the neck.
The sleeves belong to the coat part of the
garment and protect the arms to the wrist.
The braid is a dull. furnished silver and it is
used on the edges of the collar and the pockets
and in martial effect across the front. The
buttons are also dull, fiat silver.

Velvet and Velveteen
For Street Wear

There are an unusual number Of velvet and
velveteen frocks on the street. They have been
offered by the exclusive dressmakers, as we'll
as by those who cater to the department shops
in ready-to-wear apparel.
Black veveteen is not as good choice for
a street frock as dark blue, gray or brown.
While gray is the most fashionable color OF
the season. the majority cling to blue without
cavil They need no argument to persuade
them to wear color that they know all about.

fashion-and by the way, it is an American
production that has met with unusual
success-it must be arranged in a soft fabric
that merely Grapes itself over the end Of the
spine and does not show any ambition to
project itself into space
Gabardine has a twill in it and, therefore
il must be chosen for frocks that are not to be
draped Velour and duvetyn are chosen above
all other fabrics for topcoats, street frocks and
tailored suits.
Veveteen is used for one-piece gowns and
topcoats. and velvet in the new weaves that
are sufficiently supple to resemble satin Is
chosen for evening gowns as an offset to the
rich, heavy satin that has been brought back
into the market.
There is new kind of jersey invented by
Rodier. who leads the world of fabrics 1t
is strong and durable and it is sometimes
double faced, showing brilliant color on the
inside. which is sparingly shown to the public
when il is built up into garment.
One-piece frocks for the house or for the
street under a smart topcoat are exceedingly
good in this new weave. which is a follower of
the various voiles and the Georgette crepes
that have gone before it. The Paris dress
makers used it last spring, but the experts tell

fairly good idea of how the other gowns Of
that material appear. In some fashion, hey
have panel. 1t may hang in front, in ack
or at each side.
Jenny has introduced a gown that is lade
like skirt and jacket, and other dressmakers
have designed coats that are made in t'
pieces and stitched together at the waistline TO
give the appearance of a one-piece frock. IL IS
merely a question of the climate as 70 which
garment you should choose.

Topcoat for a
Schoolgirl

The world that is tired OF cOlOreu COdb 80
and suspicious of coored topcoats takes 10
the dried peat and heather colors because ey
fit into the landscape of other costur -.
They're not rebellious. They do not shrie AT
q gown or hat. They melt into the eo'or
scheme given by the other parts of the ,os,
tune and, therefore, prove delight insteaa oi
a burden TO the woman.
We are to have another Russian season,
far as the use of fur is concerned, and IL y
quite possible that the topcoat of sturdy nome
spun will have petry lavished upon II more
than any other garment II has the lehgtn
and weight to stand it. Nutria, SEAL lying
squirrel and Kolinsky are the skins that 80
we'll with these coats. =,
The young schoolgirl finds that this comp'-
nation Of homespun and fur is quite to ner
liking, because she, of all the female species,
must have warm topcoat for her progress
to and from school, as she cannot wear yer,
thick frocks in the overheated schoorooms OF
the day.
The sketch shows of the best Of the
new coats 1t is of Scotch homespun in green
and brown tones, with cape collar Of duve.yn
or fur. Whichever she chooses is due TO ne
purse and inclinations. When duvetyn IS usts
on this coat it is in dark green in an admlrsoN
shade that melts in with the mixtures Of coo's
that the homespun weaver has seen nj TO u's,
The belt is of homespun drawn through tnIs .s

and wrists are touched up with the ma'e''~

shops are filled with pits of fine Jade made
into earrings, hair combs and necklaces. There
are fans of peacock feathers with Jade sticks
and also buckles of this Chinese quartz for
slippers. Soft gold tissue gowns are EN-
brodered with jade beads, in the Byzantine
fashion.

An Epidemic of Gray
In All Shades

The world has gone on for century or
two feeling that gray is the tone of sadness
and that its Quakerish ugliness must be
avoided 1t has been difficult color for dec
AIDES. Women have adopted it only when the
silver sheen on its surface made it possible.
This season, however, all doubts are dis
persed by the superior tones which the dyers
have impaired to the various fabrics grouped
under the elastic name of gray.
There is moonlight gray which may spell
peace. but it is in close proximity to artillery
gray, which stands for death. There is the
gray of granite and the gray of London smoke
There is the gray of a New England sea mist
and there is the tone that one gets from the
glitter of cut steel.
These grays are not used alone this season.
They are combined with horizon and Chinese
blue. with jade and Egyptian green, with In
cendie red, mandarin yellow and amethyst
purple.

The Colors That Prevail
This Season

The silhouette has been established. Every
woman now knows that her skirt is to be
narrow and her coat long or short, provided
IL clings to the figure. She knows that top
coats are as important as frocks and that
some of the hest tailors offer only sport SUITS
and topcoats to wear over the thin one-piece
GOWNS.
She also knows that soft materials take pre-
,..,ience over stiff ones; but she has not exactly
classified the various colors, fabrics and &C
.essories that she must accept or avoid.
TO begin at the beginning Of the color
scheme: Midnight blue holds its own.
Black is in demand by those who want to
dress well in the afternoon and evening, but
