these Victorian sunshades may play
an important part. If they do, a
new, fashion will be established.
,Yheee 10 no doubt that the Vic
torfan shawl will be attached to the
majority of gowns. It is not of
Paisley, it did not have its origin
in India. as did the queens shawls.
1t is made from a piece of the gown
material and heavily fringed. One
of the eccentricities Of the hour.
which is not Victorian. is to use
monkey fur instead Of silk fringe.
! We of America are 30 tired Of
fringe. The exclusive houses in New
York did not even wish to handle 1t
after the end of March. yet over here
it is accepted by select society; Law
ishly accepted at that.
There are certain women who.
when selecting their day wraps, pre-
fer the romanticism of Venice to
yictorianism. They like the long.
enfolding cape. They wrap their
figures in many crepe folds. Those
who choose the shawls accentuate
their brevity. You can take your
choice. Or you can accept both gar
ments.
It is natural that the popularity
of the shawl which matches the frock
has brought out more and more
Spanish shawls. but the latter are
kept for the evening. A clear dis
tinction is made between the two
types.
In Paris the women are still dressed
in dark colors on the street and even
at the races which have been moved
from Paris to summer resorts, but
in the evening. They like white
frocks, which is another return to
Victorianism, and over these they
wear pure white shawls of embroid-
cred crepe edged with silk fringe, but
when they choose evening gowns of
black. red, green and yellow they are
quite apt to add gorgeous Spanish
shawl.
They keep it on when they dance,
for they consider it adds to the grace
OF the body. The American thinks
this Is true when a French woman
dances the tango, but when she
dances the American jazz. interpreting
1t in the wild and hectic fashion Of
Europeans. one thinks it might be
better to lay the Spanish shawl aside,
It goes with majesty of movement.
not with gymnastics,
The small shoulder shawl is erate-
fully received by q public which has
wearied of naked necks and arms
constantly exposed in the market
places. The Victorian drapery over
this nakedness may be a sign and
symbol of what is prophesied. A re-
turn. in costumery at least, to the
most demure of days.
MRS: Vernon Castle tried to intro.
- duce the fashion for gold tur-
bans several years ago. but it did not
have the same success % her bobbed
hair. Spanish sleeve and ribbon ban
deau. This summer the effort in
Paris, to bring a lace georgette into
first fashion has a chance Of meeting
with success. -.
Lewis makes tight turban Of cloth
and gold as the foundation for this
lace veil. The latter is draped under
the chin Of the wearer and caught
high on one side with full-blown pink
roses. The veil drops over the neck,
shoulders and arms, making an at
tractive accessory to low evening

looped earrings which hang to the

Such orientalism Of the head COW

to the average American woman. but
