FURS PROMISE TO
BE IN EVIDENCE

New YOrk.-Once upon time the
ROmnn warriors pulled over thelI
heads the shaggy hides of animals as
they advanced on the enemy. They
had the primitive chlldllke belief that
the sight Of the animals would fright
eO the opposing side. Such is the
history of the grenadicr caps worn by
The British army, aud such Is proba-
bly the inspiration of the new war
like clothes invented in these times u
var.
These are worn ia Paris, or rather
thcy were worn nt the Paris open
JnES. says fashion writer They have
1rriyed in this country, and their ac-
rcptanCe Is debutablc.
There are women who will wear
anything new, regardless of It's effect ON
thelr appearance, and these women
amy make the new fabrics fashionable
At first glance. they are rather ter
rifying One has slight creeping Of
feeling FOR the opposing side to the
iegi0ns of Caesar. Even "a stout
hearted warrior would hate to face u
great rush of unumi skins moving to-
Aurd him with rapidity.
That viii be the situation that must
BE- racrd by every Stout-hcarted man
his winter, il these shaggy materials
,akc first place in fashion. To the
observer they are the leading phase
Il the seasons output. They are pure
~ French invention, and even II
hey Mrc not accepted in their entirety
u ShngSincSs, they will undoubtedly
pave the way for an Immediate output
II silky materials with rough sur
faces.
The first or these materials was
called "Lionrrnu," and was invented
,utc last winter, think, and then used
as u substitute for fur
Magnificent as Well as Shaggy.
The majority Of those who dip deep
y into the sources of fashions and
fabrics insist that the entire output Of
.hcSc auimaliStic materials is due to
the rrcrjIirScrnce of monkey fur That,
however. would not explain the other
fahrirs which are used in the new
French gowns that are arriving in this
country, and which have hunting
scenes mugnifcently ornamental on
dirk background. Jenny uses this
material for panels and for large
pieces Of evening frockS.
Then there nre other fabrics which
show birds and birds plumage as the
ornamental design, but these are Of
minor briliancy as against the animal
fabrics, which not only toss about the
-cd und hurnt-orange hair Of monkeys
tad OranE-0utangS, but also the names
II animals such rs never existed on
'Jnd or sca; these are made from five
aud Six-inch strands Of curled silky
loss interviewer with metal.
The bird fabrics are called "OiSclla"
und the hurnt-Orangc hides are called
"Oraug-outang." In other gowns, eSpe-
.aily one from Bulloz, there is used
new material called "TOis0n dor"
which means THE Golden Fleece"
Still another materiaI-and the love
lest Of all because it is the most prac- |
ricni for American uSaEe-iS the imi- |
,ntiOu Of medieval coat OF mail. |
This fabric, alongside the shaggy ones, |
seems to be cultured anu modern.
[ am dwelling in detail on all these !
fabrics Of the hour because | believe |
,hat the great masses Of women over |
mis- continent are going into the shops |
very soon TO buy materials for their |.
new clothes Every woman does not |
Raye an expensive dressmaker or a /
great department store To furnish her |
costumes for the season. Such tricks /,
# fortune favor only the few. The /,
var has brought about an immense |
amount Of home dressmaking, for all !
he seamstresses in the world cannot |
20 into muniti0n factories and earn .
'1rgp wages Some of them must !
stick to their trade, and those who do |
r1H reap Il harvest.
