New York-We took our cue from
France in the mid-winter and with
drew satin from first fashion. Now
we take it off the shelf again and re-
instate it to its former glory. No one
knows why. and no one cares. We
never protest against the exploitation
of material or color that we like. We
simply go on buying satin for all those
gowns that are built to meet the emer
gency hours of our existence.
The dressmakers take the new char
meuse, which, by the way. runs up to
seven and ten dollars a yard at times,
and combine it with the new thin serge
as a means of making the fabric more
palatable when the warm weather APP
proaches.
They also make satin skirts. draped
and biased across the figure, to go with
a medieval cuirass bodice that is
built of anything in the way of fabric
which strikes the wearer's fancy, from
a damask parlor curtain to a piece of
an old Chinese kimono.
Gown That Gives Service.
There is little capricious buying to-
day. for women, even tho they may
be inclined to eXtraVa gance, would feel
Inundated in displaying it in their
costumery. Even the rich, the reck-
less and the thriftless buy clothes that
do not express fancy run riot. In this
apparel business, for America can give

on lines of good taste and service.

1t is under these conditions that
heavy satin, the kind that does not
wrinkle into a string, takes its place
in the gowns that are made for service.
1t is cooler than any fabric that has
a touch of worsted in it. and the sheen
and richness of it allow it to slide into
the evening hours without a protest.
The cry of every woman today is
for a gown that may be worn at all
hours of the day. No one wishes to
take the time to make several changes
during the waking hours, and satin,
therefore. fulfills women's desires.
1t Must Be Draped.
There is no evidence that the
severely tailored satin suit will be
thrust forward for serviceable wear,
for women realize that satin. to be
well played up, must have free move
ment. which is given by drapery.
Take the frock of taupe charmeuse
which is given in the sketch, and
which has been offered as a gown of
infinite service. The bodice has it own
square collar of chiffon in the same
shade, run into slight tucks. These
tucks, you know, are feature of trim
that allows this kind of ornamentation.
There is a fold of deep yellow and
taupe-colored charmeuse across the
middle of the bodice, which is slightly
low, in keeping with the new fashion
that seems to have few opposers.
These decollete biouses for street
and afternoon wear are an amazing
bit of fashion, but this is not the place
