American fashions. Belts and largo
sleeves and superfiuous pockets on
wooden wear have all been condemned
by Uncle Sam-also the fashion show.
The Chicago Garment Manufacturers
Association has just announced that
it will not hold its annual style show
this year, because ''by eliminating pro-
duction of garments needed for event
they will save many yards of mater
ials.''
Other concerns are holding fashion
shows, it is true, but 1t is guaranteed
that all of the materials will be used,
ard the proceeds of the ticket office
usually go TO some society for war re-
lief.
The fabric situation, indeed, steadily
grows worse. Cotton is higher than it
has been since 1868, and now shows
every sign of outstripping the records
of that historic year in cotton history
Imported glngham this year is to re-
tail for one dollar yard, the former
price of good messaline and velvet,
while domestic gingham, once consider
ed fit only for the kitchen, is now a
popular drawing room material.
AS for linen, dealers now predict that
the next six months will practically see
the end of linen in the United States.
The only shipments of linen received by
this country recently have been from
Great Britain. and Great Britain has
now limited the eqportation of all but
very low grade of linen for the rest
of the war. Linen fabric weighing four
ounces to the yard and containing be-
tween 1900 and 1900 warp warns is used
for the wings Of airplanes, which, at
present, are considered by the govern
ment to be more important than com
mercial table-cloths. A supply of linen
is now held in American warehouses,
! but only enough to last for six months.
There is only one ray of hope III the
linen situation, and that is Russia. If
fax can be obtained from Russia and
shipped in large quantities to Great
Britain, the fabric may not become ex-
I tiuct in American fabric markets.
Another shortage which is causing
some embarrassment now is the scarcity
of needles. Machine needles are as
tonishingly scarce, owing to the CON
version Of needle factories into NUM-
ton plants. and thanksgiving needles
are also beginning to show signs of dis
appearing entirely.
1t is fact that commonly known in
! this country thaUno hanG-sewing needles
are made here. Machine needles are
made in plenty-or have been until re-
Iceutiy-but the hand sewing needle is a
European product. 1t requires the
greatest skill and patience to make. and
in Europe it is a trade handed down
from generation to generation.
Before the war Che United States
depended for ITS supply Of hand sewing
needles on England and Germany. The
| German supply was soon eliminated By
the British embargo, and England vas
latC to fl TIE demand. Now England
has foundit neces AIRY to drop out of
the needle market toe. No en- argo

Style Market
Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 13, 1918.

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 13, 1918.
After scouting the greater part of
the market district, with the view of
selecting various lines of iready-to~
wear, | am very pleased to state that
the styles purchased are Of a very
pleasing nature, rather simple in mode
and running toward the strictly tail
ored lines The Misses and young
women's suits that are now being
shown in the eastern department
stores are rather extreme, meaning
ly, the strength of the lines of these
suits to give the effect of military
tendency. However, the suits that
will be worn mostly will be modified
considerably in order to meet the de-
mands of the people. Coats are
shown in AS and 48-inch lengths, with
materials Of very soft texture, such
as velours, Delhis and several other
soft fabrics, which are too numerous
to mention. The roll collar seems
to have created a heavy demand in
coats, this being something entirely
different and new from any collar ever
shown on a coat before. Owing to
the exorbitant prices of wool put in
to these coats for tne coming season,
it was found necessary by the vari-
Gus manufacturers to eliminate the
Innings. In doing this, the garments
can be sold with but very little in
crease from a year ago.
Dresses are running tremendously
strong. Merchants, manufacturers
and consumers are looking forward
to a heavy dress season. Silks in
soft and fimsy weights seem to be
the favored choice among merchants,
