With Thanksgiving thing of the
past and Christmas almost in sight
most OF us are beginning TO realize
that winter is here; and If, like the
proverbial ant, We have not taken
thought of our stock OF clothes, il
now Cehooves US 10 do so. The social
affairs which accompany the holiday
season together with Red Cross and
benefits are taking great deal OF
spare time and make things like fash
ions seem very trivial indeed. But
clothes we must have and il seems
best to dress as attractively al posi-
Bile TO help keep up the appearance OF
cheerfulness.
To do our share toward national
economy we are asked to utilize ,ev-
cry scrap of clothing We now possess,
and the designers and pattern manu-
facturers are doing their best toward
helping US. Combinations in materials
and colors are becoming more popu-
lar every day, and a dress from last
season can be easily cleaned and dyed
and then combined with silk or crepe
to form an entirely new garment.
Fortunately the skirts are much mar
rover than last winter and it is an
easy matter to remove a little super
fluouS fullness.
One attractive dress which could
be copied in remodeling is of blue
serge and champagne colored crepe
de chine. The wide soft belt is
separated at the back and front for
about five inches. and the ends join
4 CIV of
with crepe and run through mother
of pearl buckle.
A Favorite Combination.
Blue and black form another popu-
lar color combination, and is attrac-
tive in a dress of dark blue serge
with sleeves and collar of black satin,
and over collar of old blue organdie.
Taupe bids fair to become one of the
favored winter shades, so generally
is it now seen. 1t combines beautiful
ly with a great many different furs,
which makes it in demand for separate
coats. Taupe broadcloth and mole
skin are employed in making some
very lovely garments.
For the woman who does not care
for furs or who does not wish to in
cur fhe expense which furs now rep
resent. there are now made many new
fur fabrics. These are not imitation
furs nor are they intended to be con-
sidered as such, but are especially
designed and woven pile fabrics. They
may be made up into garments or used
In trimming, or for muff and scarf
sets. Plush and velvets are also used
for the long scarfs. They should be
interlined with one layer of flannel.
as the fur cloth is not as warm as
the actual fur.
Lingerie Displays.
II IS quite a long jump from furs
to lingerie but the shops seem to be
specializing in both now, to judge
from the displays. Some of the filmy
garments appear a bit chilly for cold
weather. but they are offset by the
WOODEN dresses and heavy coats, so
that their lack of substance is not
noticeable. Crepe de chine still holds
first place and combined with filet
lace Il is as dainty as can be. A very
good quality Of crepe de chine can
be obtained for a reasonable price,
and as it is wider than cotton goods
it can be made up to good advantage
and lot be as expensive as might
first appear. Nothing can be nicer
for the dainty camisoles and slips TO
wear under evening dresses Flesh
color is of course the first choice of F,
colors, and some lovely French hand |
made undergarments are of flesh |
