brought back through the mental
Somersault we We're compelled TO turn
during war days. We have a yearning
for clothes that are sensible. Nom
essentials have rather wearied us. We
think * especially silly to wear
serge gown on warm, moist days when
we could be comfortable in taifeta,
foulard. shantung and printed chiffon.
We know that muslin Is not an easy
fabric to possess, and cotton has been
needed for things more grim and seri-
Gus than IA womans summer after
noon, but the other fabrics fan as
thick as leaves in NallambroSa. one
can get them for the asking. A vast
amount of them are American made,
and one does not have to pay an i'm
port price on them. There is certain
quality of chiffon which has been put
out by France and which we have not
been able to achieve, but of the fou-
lards, the shantungs and the various
types of Chinese crepe and SILK our
own markets supply our own needs.
The French designers inaugurated
taffeta as far back as December. and
the American importers offered south
ern frocks OF this material the first OF
January. but II was taHeta that was
a close rival to satin. even thinner and
more comfortable for warm days.

have q setback, leaving the way clear
for shantung, Chinese crepe and fou-
lard.
These are the materials that will
come back to fashion hut they need
not be twisted and turned into COM
plex and expensive frocks unless the
wearer so desires Many of them are
made up like muslins. The introduc-
ton of the immense and ornamental
sash which ia reminiscent OF 81 leading
fashion of thirty years ago, gives one
a chance to create simple gown and

1t is felt, more than said, that satin
may have had its day as a spring fab
ric. There Is strong tendency away
from 1t, just as there is from serge.
No one who dabbles among clothes
can fail to notice this avoidance OF
the two fabrics I'm order for new
frocks. Satin is still good for evening,
but 1t Is draped with chiffon or tulle.
When brilliant colors are used, az in
one Of the new gowns named after
Gen. Pershing. American beauty red
satin is veiled in an oriental manner
with long festoons of mauve chiffon,
each corner weighted with an ame-
thyst necklace that drops to the knees
in front, outlines the sharply cut de-
colletage over the shoulders and drops
IN two straight lines below the waist
at the back. each end finished with a
tassel OF the amethyst. This type Of
gown Is chosen everywhere among
smart people, when satin is used It
permits the GENERALIZATION of a gown.
Which Is the dear desire of dress-
makers.
AS for serge, exactly what the publld
mas against it one cannot find out.
Perhaps it is just weary of it and
wants something that does not sug-
gest the somber conservative clothes
or war days. There Is very soft
cloth that looks like serge which the

this new and quite satisfying fabric is
assured.
Women who go a-pleasuring this
year have taken along leather clothes
for the first time in the history OF
tourists apparel The big sport houses
that now have an immense clientele
among women who have worn uni
forms and who drive motor cars, camp
in the AdirondackS ana shoot in Brit
ish Columbia, offer leather as lead
ing material for golf. tennis and all
motor car touring. Soft, supple leather
skirts, in reddish brown, are chosen
by exclusive women for golf, rather
than plaid or plain cheviot or cordu-
roy. These skirts have large pockets
fastened with leather buttons, and
they carry their own belt and very
often sleeveless waistcoat which has
four pockets in front. The satisfaction
that is given by these leather gar
ments lies In the fact that they can
be used for all kinds of open-air life
year In and year out. women VINO are
going to Europe have chosen them for
deck costumes, with a British warm,
which is a leather coat lined with
sheepskin, as top garment for cold
weather.
This introduction of leather, there
fore, is the decided novelty OF the
hour In everyday apparel. 1t Is not
generally known as yet. 1t Is still re-
served for the few, but the lead Is 80
strong that there is every prospect of
seeing the great majority of women
use hide instead of cloth.

bleaChed muslin is no longer cheap,

No summary of the fabrics that are

Jersey. The worsted weave of this
fabric is still used. but the heavy silk
weave. plain or fanciful, is doing its
best to come in ahead of the others
on the racetrack of fashions. The
American mills have turned out this
French product with more or less sue
cess. There is the dropstitch kind, an
other weave that has n thick and
thin square, and still another that has
a twisted and plain contrasting de-

preferred by exclusive women.
