The Wearing O the Green

should run a mile from the suggestion of a
gown of geranium pink and hold up her hands
in horror when the saleswoman tries to per-
suade her into buying suit of pale gray
AS far as the season has gone, it would
seem that all the traditions about green have
been smashed into little bits. Women of all
coors and compilations are wearing it. The
ingenuity of the designer is called into play
to keep certain trying shades from coming in
contact with the flesh, but they do not discard
any tone of this color because it may kill the
skin.
The sketch shows a coat and skirt Of linen
in the green which comes in piece of fine
jade, but which goes by many names. This
skirt is untrimmed, and the coat is a cutaway,
to show waistcost of dark green and cream
checks The collar and cuffs grow out of the
material; they're not attached pieces. Two
rows of green buttons down the back follow
the side seams of the coat.
The hat is Of cream straw, with green
band, and the Chinese parasol of cream col
ored pongee has green designs Of linen applied
TO the foundation with buttonhole stitch.

Pongees in Flamingo Red

ME buyers who have returned from
Paris with wholesale assortments of
early autumn models say that the
house Of Callot is clinging to the color known
as famant and the fabric known as pongee.
We have not had as much of this fiamingo
red, which is the English for famant, as one
would expect, considering that its sponsors
were the three Callot sisters. Possibly the au-
tumn will bring it out in definite way.
The Chinese silks, particularly that weave
of pongee which is not worn by the coolies,
but by the people of caste in China, has been
thrown into the French market as one of its
dominant fabrics. Suits of it in famingo red
are worn in the afternoon with white chiffon
bouses and great black or white satin hats.
The addition of the black hat tones down the
rose color to beautiful thing.
In this country we wear natural pongee

more than the dyed kind. 1t is not becoming
color to any face, and, therefore, it must be
kept away from the neck and chin by collar
and blouse.
The new suits that are made Of il are
extraordinarily good, because our close touch
with the Orient in the way of commerce mas
brought to us the kind of pongee that is turnee
into admirable tailored lines and has not !ne
deep. ugly coloring Of the cheap pongee whicn
once prevailed.
The sketch shows how one tailor turned
pongee suit into something with actual dlstihe'
ton.
The skirt is simple, with a slight inclina.

1T is not reasonable to expect that the
sweater will 90 out of fashion simply be-
cause a dozen or more experts have in
sisted that its day was done and that fashion
able women try to find substitute for it.
Yet there is no denying that the sweater is
slipping bit from the pinnacle Of fashion.

Russian Blouse Sweaters

the usual knitted or crocheted sweater are
turning the latter into a garment that re-
sembles the former.
These sweater blouses are worn over sepa-
rate skirts, and one begins to see them, built
Of ornate materials and of high price, worn
at the restaurants for lunch, and even in the
morning in the shops, which are still crowded,
despite the weather and the season.
The sketch shows one of these Russian
blouse sweaters which has no fastening and
is minus the double sash which has been a
strong adjunct of every sweater for five
years. II is made of finely knitted thread in
brilliant yellow, and is slipped on over the
head by means Of wide opening at the neck.
The broad belt which holds the fulness. in a
bit below the waist line is Of yellow suede,
with two yellow buttons in front, each Of
which has black centre. This is a good touch.
The sleeves are put into drop armholes at
the top and into deep, tight fitting cuffs at
the wrist, and the sailor collar flows away
from the shoulders and dips down below the
shoulder blades in the back.

wv THAT the next month holds for US
w in the way of fashions not more
than two dozen people in the world
know. These are the French designers, who
guard their secrets carefully and establish
around their workrooms detective force that
has much in common with the French police
system
Women who wanted to sketch gowns that
were to be shown to the public in few days
have been caught and locked up in dark
room in one of these houses, as though they
we're common criminals caught in the act.
All the processes of the French law-and
they are severe and terrorizing to the
stranger-are called into being to punish an
offender who tries to get design of gown
from French house without permission.
There are leaks, however, from the great
French workrooms as we'll as from our de-
partments in Washington. Somehow, some
body knows the truth. 1t is an astonishing
fact that such department stores as the
Galleries Lafayette and the Louvre will have
the new models Of the season ready to sell
few days after our buyers have seen the
originals. And it is also amazing that the
minor dressmakers will give you on Friday
the exact model that great house has shown
on Monday. The natural supposition is that
what occurs in America occurs in France.
Those who are engaged in the workrooms sell
their information to outside dressmakers.
1t is for all these reasons that the French
houses are guarding their secrets this week
with the intensity that General Pershing
shows in guarding the dispatches about our
troops.
The things that we have been able to find
out are interesting. They may prove true. No
one can verify the genuineness of these
rumors until August is we'll advanced
toward September, but here they are for those
who want to know what is to come more than
what has been:
The new silhouette, it is said, will be slim
and tight just below the waistline, around the
New-York tribune., 1917-07-29

hips, and there will be no fare from shoulder
to instep.
Coats are cut to the hip line and are either
bound in with fur or embroidered cloth.
There is no attempt TO curve garments in at
the waist line. There is no attempt to fatten
the. fabrics against the figure in order to out
line the anatomy beneath. The cloth will hang
in a straight line from the shoulder to the
girdle at the hips, thereby giving a we'll
known Oriental silhouette that has come and
gone through the fashions in recurring cycles
Skirts will be exceedingly narrow for walk
ing. and for the evening they will be long and
in flowing lines that do not fare, but cling to
the figure in the fashion of the Orient

the straight Italian line of the fifteenth cen.
tury, used in mems costumery as well as
women's.
In opposition to this is the high, straight
collar that does not fit under the chin, thereby
causing an ugly roll of flesh, but flares up
ward and outward. 1t is the collar that Sarah
Bernhardt made famous more than quarter
of a century ago.
These collars are shown on shirtwaists
and on the bodces of formal and informal
frocks. The immense handkerchief collar of
the Revolution will be put on coats so rumor
says, and the deep, delta decolletage adopted
in the American Revolution will be used on
dinner and restaurant gowns.
