launch In order to create a demand
for something new, which always
stimulates business the woman who
buys and who eventually decides the

Simple Silhouette In Lavish colorA.
There must inevitably come a day
when this will pass from the fore
ground of fashions unless the history
OF clothes is TO be absolutely revolu.
tionlzed, but from all appearances
that day Is still in the distance.
Since dressmakers have been com
PEELED by popular demand TO hold a
silhouette In vogue, for some time
they have resOrted TO embrolderles
and very lavish trimmings in order to
get new effects. They spared no effort
to make these beautiful and alluring.
Clothes were literally covered with
them. But beautiful az these embroid-
cries were, drawing their inspirations,
as they did from the art, both ancient
and modern, OF many nations, they ran
a swift and brief course. Embroid-
cries still are used. II is true. but not
TO cover entire garments, as they did
last season.
Now, color Is the thing. In the cot
ton dresses for warm midsummer
days the brightest OF tints. hitherto
unknown In cottons, are profuse.

duced In some more subtle way.

sweeps. even TO some OF the new
street dresses. to bring Its Importance
TO the foreground. Many OF the new
dresses have been likened TO court
testers costumes, half OF one color
and half of another.
Frocks In Contrasting Hues.
These will be shown In the great
dressmaklng establishment both here
and In Paris, but they will be looked
upon more as show pieces than as
wearable models. They will, however,
serve their purpose In drawing atten-
