PARIS, September rs, 1919.
" HE house of Cheruit caused a
mild sensation at its opening
by using real roses embroid-
u cred or silk cloth of silver.
No one can deny the extraordi-
nary novelty Of this touch. Actual
roses are used. remember. that grew
in a garden and still have faint per-
fume. The brother-in-law of Nine.
Boulanger, who Is the head of the
house. invented this embroidery and
the Maison Cheruit is the only one
that exhibited. Another kind Of em-
broidery was used. also invented by
the same skilled worker. and it was
confined to only two blouses, as far as
the observer could find out. The
small house which caters to an ex-
elusive segment of the American trade
did not get her embroidery finished,
however. until several days later than
the Cheruit opening and even then 1t
was used in small quantities. The
latter embroidery was made of the
material of the gown and the design
was fiat roses connected with long
stems, all embroidered. and held to the
surface of the frock by quilting
stitch in gold or silver thread. The
embroidery with the real roses showed
the quilting stitch also. The petals of
immense full-blown roses were used
all in shades of pink and red, and the
metallic stitches were run all over the
petals so that they could not fall or
tear. The roses must have been put
through some mummifying process, for
they have no appearance Of dissolving,
even under the stress of hard usage
Even the edges of the petals that are
not held to the fabric are so steadied
by the metallic threads that hey mere
ly blow about in the breeze as the
mannequins walk This embroidery is
the actual new note struck by Cheruit
The Americans do not feel that the
gowns on which the roses are used
have any special grace. The skirts are
made of silver cloth or tulle' and the
roses are punched together over the
full surface; at the sides Of the skirts

cry. That indicates desire to appeal
to women rather than to lead them.
The house of Cheruit hits two given
points, the kimono of the day and the
queer silhouette which has evolved
for the evening for which there is no
name. 1t is something made up in the
workroom. There is no historical back
ground for it. 1t is distinctly ungrace-
ful, but is may be modified into grace.
How an American girl or woman can
appear well in q skirt that does not
hesitate at combining half dozen COL
ors and dozen different lengths to its
skirt Is the question that puzzles q
buyer.
The fact that Cheruit produces actual
novelties which are far more attractive
than the novelty of the chicken feath-
ers used by Doucet and Premet cannot
fail to be of vital interest. 1t is for
such inspiration that the American
buyers come to Paris. They may not
wish to buy a red satin kimono lined
with black for day wear by an Ameri-
can. but they can find strong novel;
ty in the method of embroidery which
covers nearly all the surface of the
kimono with fiat roses and stems quilt
ed down with thin gold thread. This
rose embroidery. by the way, is ac-
centuated and emphasized throughout
all the houses. Buloz will use im-
mense roses to hold the drapery of an
evening gown and Worth will place a
loop, full-blown pink roses at the hip
Of a gown. then drop a succession of
its petals down the length Of the skirt.
One might say that there is strong
tendency to drop trimming In a casual
manner on the material With the ex-
ception of the splendid jet embroid-

Is to effect casual. careless appear
ance. Each gown looks as though 1t
had handful Of trimming thrown on
1t like confetti which caught into the
meshes OF the fabric where and how
1t could.
The jet gowns are the only ones
offered for the evening that have a set
design: this Is heavy. rich and stately.
yet the effect and the weight Of the
material are light. None Of the jet ap-
pears to be cumbersome. The beads
are tiny and they are shaded from
black into gold. from powder blue into
dark silver. from Furnished copper
into dull rust. These gowns are more
expensive than any other kind. Whom

drapery which no one else In the world
seems able to achieve, Just as Worth
is never equaled in his own type of a
wrapped, deeply decollete ceremonial
evening gown. Callot continues to
make the draped evening frock which

on this old, even If graceful. silhouette.
She was responsible for the pannier
on the hips, and she continues to use
1t in modified form. She does not re-
turn to the immense crinoline skirt
launched by Spain In the seventeenth
century. Poiret and Lanvin both use
1t; Callot tones 1t down to various
kinds of fullness over the hips, a full
ness that is supported probably by
crinoline. 1t Is interesting that the
house shows so large an assortment
of chemise, frocks. The American
buyers feel that they are between the
devil and the deep blue sea when they
are flanked on one side by an old fash
ion Of which Americans are weary and
a new fashion at which Americans will
hook askance. 1t is not an easy season
for them. Callot, like Doucet, makes
. straight fiat frock, the background
for sumptuous display of embroid-
cry. Doucet's splendid surfaces are
not suggestive OF the orient: Caliot's
are. Each house shows that it has not
quite gotten away from the Slavic and
Byzantine influence. There is surer
touch of authority about the Cheruit
collection than in the Callot one; not
the authority OF handling fabrics. but
of standing true to ones convictions
and trying to compel the public to
wear what one offers. Callot gives
