Materials From China.

But we are rapidly learning another
the lands of the plum tree and the
cherry blossom. The men who have
turned their faces toward the east. be-
cause Europe is short of all materials
for dress apparel. and who have gone
through the mills and shops from
/ Shanghai to Yokohama, have found
that the materials which can be
brought across the Pacific to this coun-
try are very desirable.
These fabrics have been bought
woven. shipped and received, and Paris
seems to have almost as many of them
as America. The result of this is that
| she has launched hundreds of gowns
made of shantung and the various Chi
nese and Japanese silks.
There are rumorS that many of these
materials are supplied by America and
| that the reason for her launching the
| fabrics of the east was because of the
! persuasion of our commercialists. who
| knew that they could get plenty of
/ this material over here. Maybe we
/ would have learned in time how to ar
range shantungS, tuSSahs and other
| pongee weaveS in an artistic manner so
/ that the deadening color would not
come near the skin. but as it is, France
/ has done the trick for US and all we
/ have to DO is to initiate and modify
Dipping Shantung in Color.
France has shown her preference for
deep, dark reds and has launched them
at a me when America is apt to avoid
strong; colors because hot weather is
upon her, which is unlike the trick of
the tropics, where the hotter the sun
the more gorgeous the coloring Of ap-

their fullness taken in below the knees.
The hem is just wide enough to walk

three silver buckles set with red

By the way, there is a widespread
fashion for the metal belt, Which is set
