but it is nothing more nor less than fiber
silk, which every one knows is not silk at
all, but which serves as an excellent imi-
tation and substitute for silk at a much
cheaper price
the sketch may be developed effectively
either in wool jersey or fiber silk, or 1t
could be made of serge or gabardine. The
real feature of this frock Is its side fas-
tening arrangement and 1t is interesting
to note that the fancy for one-sided ef-
fects is evident in all lines of outer ap-
parel for women.
Some of the smartest frocks have dra-
peries or tunics that fall low at one side
and are scarcely visible at the other side,
and the same rule applies to the separate
skirt.
Inasmuch as the hip drapery giving a
bouffant silhouette has had it's day, and
the back flare, or hustle. is also passing
after a brief lease of life, the one-sided
effect Is logically the next experiment So
far many satisfactory results have been
achieved.
The dress shown may be trimmed with
braiding in self or contrasting color or
merely in stitching with heavy floss. Or
| II some more elaborate trimming touch is
mended, especially if wool jersey cloth is
selected for the gown.
This is a good model for an early spring
street or utility frock, and is not one that
would present serious difficulties even to
the average home dressmaker
The gown is close reefed affair, and
quite narrow.
Faille silk or silk poplin could be used
| for a frock of this type If something more
dressy than one of the knitted weaves is
desired. with heavy embroidery serving as
1 the trimming.

design today on the score that it is old
and once was cheap, and the majority
accept a piece of it as an ornamental
tion to be cleverly placed against a
sonlber surface.
The sketch shows how it is employed
to brighten up a new pinafore sweater
of black silk Jersey. 1t shows in the
wide belt of red and white kid with a
plain kid buckle. and in the turban
made of the same kid and run through
with dull quill
As you see, this sweater is made on
the plan of a child's pinafore. 1t is
worn over a white blouse with a deep,
round collar and bishop sleeves that
are caught in at the wrist with turn
over cuffs and link buttons.

Assailed in the grand ducal parlia-

the government put forth the diverting

serious and more mysterious than the
