WHAT VIII Dc tue new lines Ql uTeSS-
es during the approaching monthsf
A change already is apparent. OBJ
serves a New York fashion CORE
spondent, though in some instances
II may be only subtly suggested.
Women the country over are buy
ing much more cOnservatlvely than
in the first flush of rising costs. Now
Is the time for the American woman
to take further stand and to demand
real beauty, refuse anything that is
just good enough" In looks or In ma.
terial, and to assert her right TO
wear the most attractive dresses, since
she is paying the highest prices. Ev-
cry day more and more beautiful
gowns are being designed. Women
can have them II they demand them.
If, when you are buying frock, you
demand four things-beauty, style,
quality and suitabillty-and refuse
any concession, then your wardrobe
will endure as did our grandmothers'
in the days after the Civil war. Be
cause Of inferior products continually
being forced upon the market, II is
possible to attain this result through
perseverance only, but the game is
worth the candle.
Dresses of serge and duvetyn are
good for winter days and for the first
coollsh days when one longs for a
sufficient covering and a relief from
the thin, mussed things Of summer.
Duvetyn is perhaps the smarter, but
the material is not the best wearing
in the world. There is something
about its depth Of color that makes
It the most sumptuous of all fabrics,
and 1t takes on the lines Of the figure
to perfection. Many really lovely de-
signs have been turned out In wool
jersey for the coming season, and this
material constitutes a good back
ground for heavy wooden embroidery.
Serge Is Paris Favorlte.
Serge, they say in Paris, is to be as
smart as duvetyn, and, because Of its
wearing qualities, It must always be
the favorite for everyday use. Moth
ing is lacking in the designs that have
been created in serge. They have
scope and variety. Blue serge is be-
coming to a lot of women, though
many wear 1t when 1t is not becoming.
Silks and satin come into play for
afternoon and evening dresses, and
here, as always, one finds an even
measure of the different materials
used. Especially in these dress-up
fashions the decision becomes a mat
ter of taste and personal preference.
There are models in all of them.
The waists on most of the dresses
are long. When they are of one piece
this is the case, and when they are
made of two materials the Joining in
vGriably is at a lowered waistline.
One Of the new duvetyn dresses is in
the darkest of dark blues, very rich
and deep in tone. This is made up
with q long waist of white satin and
the trimming consists of narrow bands
of the duvetyn loosely held over the
bodice. The strips reach from the
waistline, and Joining to the neckline
are fastened at both Of these places
and flop loosely between. This Is an
effective frock. r''1-N't --'--'".---
Another quYetyn 1rock was made
with the fashionable apron front
This is a piece that in this case was
cut circular and, being fastened at the
high waistline on either hip fell
gracefully over the entire front of the
frock. Then there was an underskirt.
straight and short and fairly tight.
This was embroidered in lines of sill
yer thread, and the decoration showed
at the back and in tiny spaces at the
foot of the apron in front. The bodice
was cut kimono fashion with three
quarter sleeves and was embroidered
10 harmonic with the underskirt.
Embroidery and Short Sleeves.
A serge dress imported from Paris
was embroidered in copper threads
