or will not the Gripping OF industries
/ in France and the cutting off of raw
materials weaken the morale OF the
French fashion authorities? At the
Z beginning of the war this appeared
to be likely to happen; but after the
/ first shock of the cataclysm had
passed, the modistes and designers
rallied nobly with the consequences
I that their salons are as popular as

Perhaps the greatest influence in

mothers in France and Belgium that
are impaired. II is a significant fact
that many women are voluntarily
wearing last years coat and hat, SC
that the price of new ones may go to
, some noble purpose.
Scarcity Of Wool.
French fashions have also been con
siderably influenced by the scarcity
of certain materials, but especially
wool. Perhaps the warmest as well
as the most beautiful substitute they
have found is the velvet group. in
Guiding velveteen and corduroy. These
fabrics in varying weights and quality
are used for coats, simple morning
! frocks. more elaborate afternoon
dresses and lovely evening gowns
One of their chief attractions is that
they combine successfully with Tur
and chiffon and satin and georgettt
crepe.
Simplicity is the keynote OF style
! For tie woman who wishes to buy
only one new evening gown this win
ter. one of velvet in orchid, rose, lem
on, nile green or turquoise is worthy
of attention. The rather decollette
bodice has black velvet shoulder
straps. fastened with piquant little
bows on the shoulders, while the Sc
verify OF the square cut neck is soft
ened by little sleeves and shoulder
pieces of transparent net or chiffon
The skirt is not very full. and has 8
ruffle standing up ebove the belt nj
the waist line. The belt is a narrow
strip of the black velvet RIB N caught
at one side with a ribbon rose. The
skirt is draped slightly over the hips
to relieve the straight lines and taperc
toward the ankle hem.
