Cotton Fabrics - Their Latest Guise

daintiest. loveliest materials that ever
was woven, and whether il is Of white
or whether Il is white with stripes or
checks formed by merccrizcd threads
or stamped in some design OF rich
oriental color, il has a certain tascina-
tion OF its own that nothing else ever
can achieve. Wolfe IS offered us show
ing embroidered designs and woven
designs, and stamped designs, and
there are a generous number OF bor-
dercd effects shown. As a matter OF
course We shall wear lawns, dimities
and various other favorite fabrics,
but organdie and voiles are prime
iavorites and they richly deserve their
place.
For the Season of 1917 stripes may
fairly be said TO run rampant, and as
a matter OF necessity the skirts them
selves will be cut on simple lines.
Gabardine is a favoritR and wolfe IS
liked, and linen and the new materials
that take something Of the mohair
effects while not related 10 them, are
washable and take their place; but
gabardine has a peculiar beauty OF
It's own that renders il especially like
able and in great demand. Without
doubt there will be a great many silk
skirts worn; also great many Of wool
Jersey, but for the moment We arc
considering strines.

broadcloth dress. For a very dainty
gown white broadcloth would be
beautiful. II is always a handsome
material but il is perhaps at its
best in the ivory shade. II can be
trimmed with the ribbed silk or with
satin. White wool jersey makes
handsome gowns Of this sort, too, and
jersey is another material that is
especially charming in white.
The coat suit is one Of the neccs-
stiles Of every season. This year there
has been somcwhat Of a tendcncyto
top,-coats. but no number OF separate
coats really takes the place of the coat
suit. This one Is quite novel in the
treatment Of the belt which is passed
over the front and back and under the
side portions. IL is n smart model
and a model that can be utilized both
for the pre-. ent and for the future. IL
can be made nov in bolivia cloth and
be thoroughly warm and comfortable
for the Winter wear. a little later it
would be Just as desirable for the suit
Of hroadcloth or Of Jersey and even Of
satin. We have learned that there arr
many uses TO which silks and satinl
can be put. We no longer reserve
them for occasional service. We
utilize them Tor general needs. But
the manufacturers have given unsturdy
sorts as well as delicate sorts, and ",
hnd il quite possible 20 combine the
beautiful, lustrous surface with utility
and service.

has made a general tendency toward
oriental and semi-oriental colors and
designs. Perhaps the most notable
effects OF this new output is the all
over effects that are found in all the
cotton fables and which are oriental
in character, rejecting oriental color
but always give that sense OF covering
the background that seems to belong
TO the eastern idea. Even flower
designs are set close together. While
VIC will wear a great many stripes and
a great many checks and some very
lovely fabrics are shown that combine
stripes with the scattered flower de-
sign, the tendency towards the all-over
effects is conspicuous and cannot be
overlooked. Crapes will be good. but
the voiles and the organdies are cx-
pected TO take the lead. Organdie
is woven first and given its peculiar
crispy finish that is its distinctive
quality aiter the weaving is done. The
slight crispness that is in the finest
voiles is given the threads before the
weaving is done. Consequently il is
easy 10 under stand why the coils will
retain that quality even after il has
been Numbered again and again,
whereas organdie must have the ex-
pert cleaners care and finish TO come

a square neck and is held over the

inches shorter than the tunic which

The combination Of the fitted bodice
with the full skirt makes the important
and essential features Of this costume.
What We know as the redingote
effects or tunic that is opened at the
front is apparent in many Of the
best models. The gown at the center
Of this group shows such a tunic worn
over a plain skirt and with a very new
bodice that is closed at the back.
Charmcuse satin and Ccorgette crepe
are the materials illustrated, and there
are none that are more fashionable or
that will give better service.
Colors will always be a matter for
each individual TO determine. There
arc many beautiful shades to be found
in satin in spite Of the shortage OF
dyes, and every wearcr who ever has
owned a gown Of Charmeuse knows
that it is a good wearing fabric, while

materials without which we would

rated with embroidery Of beads for
beads are extremely fashionable and
when utilized give very beautiful
effects. The front Of the bodice IS
extended to form a sash and the sash

two pieces.

THIS is a season when our thoughts
turn to the South even If we are
unable to follow them with our
bodies, and as a natural consequence,
We areinterested in suitable costumes.
Fashions for the South arc well known
10 indicate those for the coming season.
Therefore we will study them and
admire them and perhaps buy them
even il we must remain at home when
the snow falls and the streets are
frozen.
The three models shown here give OK
oellent examples Of what is new and
interesting. The street dress unques-
tionably will make an important fea-
ture OF the Spring, while for the
various afternoon functions the redin-
cote effects and the simple one-piece
gowns will share the honors. For the
street gown good French serge and
gabardines are favorite materials.
There is nothing that quite takes
their place for the useful costumes.
As a matter Of course we will sec other
frocks. Lightweight broadcloth will
be worn; poplin is a good material and
there will be a good many gowns OF
satin and Of silk. But nevertheless
the serge and the gabardines are the
standbys. The gown that is shown
here is trimmed with rows OF braid.
and that trimming is always a simple
and an effective one. Machine stitch
ing will be much used, and contrasting
colors are advocated by the best
dressmakers, and there will be a
good deal Of the braiding and en-
broidery that has been so much used
throughout the Winter on the Spring
costumes. Let it be denied as many
times as 1t may, there is a shortage Of
trimming materials, and every device
that allows the dressmaker TO create
her own trimmings Is being utilized.

cotton fabrics are displayed while

thought OF the trip to the South and

and the girdle is Of ribbon. II il Is
copied in charmeuse with the plain
skirt and with the collar and sleovcs
and the bodice portion embroidered.
It would take a very smart effect but
il would still give the same pretty
lines. We will wear these simple one
piece gowns for a great many occa-
sions and II they prove so satisfactory
and so generally liked throughout the
Winter that their favor is established,
the richness of material and beauty
Of trimming will make them adapted
TO formal occasions and the simplest

CoIors for the incoming season
run somewhat 10 extremes. For
the street are recommended the
quiet greys and dun colors that
really owe their suggestion to the
conditions abroad, while for the
country costumes or the sports COS
tunes as they arc called, the brightest
most vivid colors that can be thought
OF will be used. Wool Jersey is an
exceedingly beautiful material in dove
grey and dove grey will unquestiou-
ably be a favorite color for the Sprins

Broadcloth also is beautiful in grey.
and in soft tans, black broadcloth has
been an accepted material Of the
Winter but il seems hardly likely 20

the like will take its place. Machine
stitching promises to be a favoritc
finish for the tailored suit and a great
