a striking way Of combining satin

satin, made with a square neck bat

The old-fashioned art of quilting
has been revived in "a manner that
would startle our grandmothers.
Quilting is used on thinly-padded
hats and even parasols. Many of
the spring hats developed in satin

picturesque are this hat and parasOl
of palest- pink satin quilted in
squares by hand. They are worn

thin wash materials, are made on
this general design. which is slight
~ reminiscent of the Russian
blouse.
Perhaps the most distinctive of
the new wash materials are those
from Rodier of Paris, since they
show originality both in weave and
cOloring. One, a blue and white
checked material, had the chec6s
marked off by a stitch, much like
machine stitching. Another clever
ly combined pale yellow and leven-
der in an unusual manner. Not
from Rodier. but nearly as pretty
as some of his fabrics, are the new
crepes, whose brilliant flowers can
be most effectively combined with
plain materials in summer frocks.
