The Philosophy of Brocade.

Folks who study the philosophy of
clothes declare there is a psycholog-
ical reason for the present craze for
silver and gold brocades, says the New
York Evening Mail. The general ten
dency in street and afternoon froeks
is toward simplicity. The seasons
only trimming of prominence is fur.
This, so students of dress tell us, Is a
reflection of the war spirit. And the
brilliant brocades, on the other hand,
express "the letting OF Of steam"
Women cannot subsist on steady diet
of simplicity and so they are taking a
little fling with brocade chapeaux and
garments for formal evening wear.
Whatever else one may think about
the soundness of this explanation it is
interesting. And no one will deny that
never before have gold and silver bro
cades been utilized In such attractive
forms.
Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1918-02-16

In the drama of fashions, the part
Of the one-piece frock has grown in
Importance for three seasons. 1t
made a triumphant entry this fall and
has held the center of the stage ever
since. The advent of the 'bustle dress"
(Which hardly deserved its name), and
the furore for velvet portends a bril-
liant finish for this season Of a style
that Is sure to reappear in the spring.
The hustle dress is given its name
because it is caught up in drapery be-
low the waistline at the back and
merely suggests the hustle of other
years. 1t is prettiest in velvet or
heavy satin or crisp taffeta best of all
velvet. In the latest models skirts are
narrow and drawn back from the front
by the back draping. They have long,
close-ftting sleeves and high necks.
One-piece frocks of serge and other
durable cloths have proven themselves
the smartest sort of frocks for bust
ness women. This term includes about
everyone lHSSC uuJo NhCl IL - VII
thinkable that any well woman should
be idle.
The frock Of serge shown In the
picture is enough to reconcile the most
inconsequent of idlers to business
life. Consider it's good points and re-
member how entirely practical 1t is.
In addition to being good looking 1t is
new and original. The sleeves are set
on to an underbodice and finished on
the forearm with neat straps Of the
material. The overbodice fastens over
separate yestee Of washable White
satin, which may be varied with YES
tees Of other materials by way of
change. A wide fold, instead Of revers,
on the bodice is placed high enough at
the back to provide an unusually be-
coming neck finish, and a big trench

buckle shows the resOurcefulness of
the designer in providing a unique
fastening.
The skirt has two box plaits at the
back and front and cascaded drapery
at the sides to lend it shapliness and
interest. Trim rows of bone buttons
on the plaits at the front consign this
frock to the ranks OF the tailor-nade.
Hats that reveal summer mind
have become fashionable for wear in
January. They dare to be inconsis-
tent and with true feminine unreason
are worn with the warmest furs in
northern attitudes as well as in sunny
southern lands. 1t happens that De-
cember sees many hats designed for
southern tourist use, displayed in the
shops of northern cities. They are IT.

side of the exclusive dressmakers and
hlgh-prlced shops. He knows what
the women throughout the country
desire to buy, and when he makes
the statement that the demand for
cheap fabrics and shoddy materials
is beginning to wane, he represents
a most interesting phase of CONNER
cial activity
b viii Demand Durable Fabrics.
1t is already perceptible, wherever
masses of women have foregathered,
that costly simplicity Is the substi-
tute for costly ornnmentation. Soon
will come the other upheaval In dress
when women who buy inexpensive
clothes will demand that the fabric
endure.
1t was all very well, during a peri
cd of enormous productivity on the
part of the mills, to throw away SIS
on every new frock that suited the
fancy and to discard 1t when the par
ticuIar fashion in which it was made
began to wane; but today we are

SMART fRock FOR THE BUSINESS GIRL.

vogue-a special January Hat'-to be
worn north or south, but with whis-
per of spring in their designing. They
are not too summerlike, but there Is
no hint of winter about them.
Three of these captivating models
are shown in the group above. They
place themselves at glance-hats OF
the highest class that need not to ex-
cuse themselves for appearing in the
depth of winter At the center of the
group the large picturesque black hat
is made of panne velvet and malines.
All it's story is told by these two mate
rails for it's finish is merely collar OF
the velvet with a bow at the back.
One can imagine it at the afternoon
concert or the bridge party in the
heart of the northern winter or worn
as dinner or afternoon hat under
southern skies, with equal satisfac-
ton.
At the left small hat is shown
made Of fringed strips of black taft
feta. These strips are braided or
woven In and out to form the body Of
the hat. Taffeta proves itself suffi-
Gent for the completion of this model
which is finished at the front with a
bow Of the silk, made Of strips fringed
along each edge.
At the right hat of deep blue satin
is made with rows of blue braid stitch
ed on the upper brim and crown. The
blue is vivid, somewhat lighter than
sapphire, and makes just the right
background for the odd Japanese
leaves and berries that form wreath
about the crown. 1t is hard to describe
anything so unlike the usual millinery
flowers. The colors are odd, grayish
green and yellows and white. Only the
Japs know what these queer leaves
are made Of and after they have ex-
