FURS PROMISE TO

~ a French invention. and even IL
they are not accepted in their entirety
of shagglnesS, they will undoubtedly
pave the way for an immediate output
of silky materials with rough sur
faces.
The first of these materials was
called 'LiOnceau," and was invented
late last winter, think, and then used
rs a substitute for fur.
Magnificent as Well as Shaggy.
The majority of those who dip deep
~ into the sources of fashions and
fabrics insist that the entire output OF
these animalistic materials is due to
the recrudescence OF monkey fur That,
however, would not explain the other
fabrics which are used in the new
French gowns that are arriving in this
country. and which have hunting
scenes, magnifcently ornamental, on
a dark background. Jenny uses this
material for panels and for large
pieces of evening frocks.
Then there are other fabrics which
show birds and birds plumage as the
ornamental design, but these are of
minor brilliancy as against the animal
fabrics. which not only toss about the
red and burnt-orange hair of monkeys
and orang-outangS, but also the names
OF animals such rs never existed on
land or sea; these are made from five
and Six-inch strands of curled silky
floss interviewer with metal.
The bird fabrics are called "Oisella"
and the burnt-Orange hides are called
"Orang-outang." In other gowns, espe-
cially one from Bulloz, there is used a
new material called "Toison dor"
which means THE Golden Fleece
Still another material-and the love
lest of all because it is the most prac-
tical for American uSage-is the imi-
tation of n medieval coat of mail.
This fabric, alongside the shaggy ones,
seems to be cultured and modern
| am dwelling In detail on all these
fabrics of the hour because | believe
that the great masses of women over
this continent are going into the shops
very soon TO buy materials for their
new clothes. Every woman does not
have an expensive dreSSmaker or
great department store TO furnish her
costumes for the season. Such tricks
OF fortune favor only the few. The
war has brought about an immense
amount OF home dressmaking, for all

| fashion as out of it, it shows efficiency
walk in the right path.
The Right Path.
To those who inquire as to what is
the right path, therefore, it is wise to
say that there is an undoubted tend
ency toward the imitation Of animal
hides in fabrics, but that one should
GO warily among such novelties. The
main truth is that very smooth ma
terials have lost their SAVIOR and thai
increasing roughness is prophesied.
1t is quite possible that these new
fashions in fabrics will keep serge out
of first place. One finds it offered by
the best tailors and dresSmakers, but
already women look q bit aSkance al
it when they see piled up against il
the new fabrics that represent a diff
ferent epoch in weaving.
AS for taffeta, it seems to be left in
the cold. 1t is used by such artists as

silver flowers and white monkey fur.
There is a dearth of satin. IT is too
early TO say whether it will be en-
tirely abandoned in this country, bat
at the moment it is not represented In
the new French frocks in the generous
manner of other days.
All the designers are lavish with
velvet, as in the medieval days, and
it is used in the picturesque Italian
fashion, 0rnamented with superb en-
broideries of metal and silk.
So far, these richly decorated vel
vets, as we'll as the plain weave, are
kept for the evening. but there are
many tobacco brown and leather
shades, and dark blue ones, used for
the afternoon. There are also leather
shades, by the way, in q heavy quality
of satin, which looks like cloth and is
trimmed with wool embroidery. These
leather tones are hardening back TO
medieval days, and to those centuries
when Spain led the world in dress, as
France does today. 1t was then that
Spain made her Cordova and Morocco
leather famous.

ALL PORTO RICO To
CELEBRATE THE FOURTH
Day Did Not Mean Much Once, But
the Islanders Are All
Americans Now.

San Juan, Porto Rico. July 8
Porto Rico doesn't go half way in its
patriotism. Having taken American
principles to It's heart il never over
looks an opportunity to prove the
depth OF its sincerity This was clear
" shown in the Red Cross, Liberty
loan and Thrift Stamp drives, and
now the island Is preparing the great
est Fourth OF July celebration in It's
history.
That in Itself might not mean a
whole lot for until quite recently the
Fourth Of July was only the fourth
day of one of the calendar months
here ahouts, Insignificant in tmpor-
lance with a birthday of Spanish
king or church fiesta. But now the
Fourth Of July means something. The
Porto Ricans have learned to love
the thought OF which i is the SYM
boil and whore they love, they cele>
hrate.
AS It Is planned, 1t is to he a very
serious celebration. savoring rather
Of the homage to a patron saint than
to a period Of joyous festiyity. There
are going to be no fireworks, but
there is going to be depth of patri-
Otto fervor that should put Hoboken,
Newark. Milwaukee, Brownsville and
other Hohenzollern suburbs in the
states to shame. The spectacular
feature OF the day will be a great
parade In which 5000 or more uni
formed troops viii take part. There
