TO USE BATAVIA IN HATS
Material Promises to Be Given Favor
In Spring MIIIinery-comes In
colors.

Batavia promises to be one Of the
best materials for use In spring hats,
for. according to the bulletin Of the
Retail Millinery Association Of Amer
lea, It Is employed In a variety Of ef-
fective ways. Ombre batavia, shad-
ing from one color to another, Is re-
garded as especially attractive. Ba-
tavia also comes in a printed Paisley
effect, combining the cOlorings Of the
Paisley shawl. It is also seen en-
broidered In all-over scroll and floral
designs. Developed in conventional
patterns, 1t Is much used for tams,
draped turbans and off-the-faee mod
els, which are trimmed simply with
bows OF gros-graln ribbon.
According to the bulletin batavia Is
combined with Milan, leghorn and
peanut straws. II Is used to face
brims, and the Ombre material Is IA
vored for trimmings In the form Of
twisted bands or of large bows with
fringed ends. Batavia hats are
trimmed with unusually attractive
wreaths Of flowers and grasses chosen
to carry out the color schemes Of the
various models. oddly-shaped straw
pins. which in some cases have CEN
tiers Of giistening beads, are also used
to decorate them

LACE DRESS STYLE
Paris DresSmakers Are Success
fH With Dyed Fabrics.
Darkest Greens, Deep Browns, Rust
Reds, Golden YeIIows and Deep
Blues Favored.

Apparently one need have no fear
In buying a lace dress that viii soon
become old-fashioned as far as lace Is
concerned, at any rate. states a Paris
correspondent. This Is extremely
gratifying at this time, because new
things have sprung up overnight like
mushrooms to such an extent during
the last few years that we are glad
to have something to which we may
pin our faith. II It is only a party
dress.
Back Of all this lace agitation Is a
well-known propaganda In behalf Of
the French industry, and this propa-
ganda has been launched at a time
when the market is almost bare Of
merchandise. It is, therefore, not to
sell goods now, as there are few laces
to be had, but II is to create a move
ment In favor Of laces in order that
when the new stocks are ready the
world will be clamOring for them.
Among the most interesting fea-
lures Of the present fashions are
uIcNSto. Ad6l
summer there was evidence OF q
strong revival Of lace through the
launching Of many black and white
lace dresses at the spring and sum-
mer race meets. Deauville In July
and August also proclaimed the
vogue Of lace; but 1t was left for the
Paris dressmaker to spring something
new at the opening Of her season.
With lace on the crest Of the wave
these clever creators Of novelty clothes
brought out lovely dresses In dyed
laces Of the darkest greens, deep
browns, rust reds, golden yellows and
deep blues. So to he in keeping with
this winters fashions one must have
a dyed lace dress, and while black and
white laces are still very fashionable,
the newest thing, Of course, is the lace
dyed in one Of the new colors.

MODE IN SEASONS SLEEVES
Coverings Are Of Many Styles, but
the Majority Of Them
Hang Free.

The arms follow the neck IN the
most fashionable gowns by being well
covered with any kind Of long sleeve
that appeals to the fancy. The CEN
turtles pour out inspiration There Is
no meagerness Of output In this are
Of dress.
At the opera, when one sits in a
box, the sleeve may be as dominating
as that worn by Giselda or the angels
Of Burne Jones. There are square
sleeves Of glorious lace run with
threads of metal or left plain, that
reach to the knees when the arm Is
outstretched.
There are others which sweep to the
edge Of the train. then return as By
an afterthought to the wrist, where
they are held by a jeweled bracelet.
There Is no disposition to hug the
arm with sleeves. They hang free.
II they are small they are opened
down their length, on top, to- show the
skin. In the theater long. wide. con-
spieuOus sleeves are a nuisance, 30
they give place TO short ones. The
beIl-shaped Spanish shape Is often
made Of lace, Of tuIle, Of chiffon. II
II cuts the arm half way between the
elbow and wrist II is awkward and
ugly. II should not extend more than
three inches below the bend Of the
elbow.

The CHEMISE SLIP
Undergarments Made to Wear
Under 0ne-Piece Dresses.
Belt Attached to Bodice Section 10
Adjust Waist Band to Fit
Individual Figure.

The newest thing In the way Of an
undergarment, which has come from
Paris Is the long sort OF ehemise slip
which Is made to wear under the new
er One-piece dresses. Ii Is not a
princess slip; Il is more Of an elongated
chemise, for IL has a tiny sort Of bod
ice which buttons up the back with
a row Of the very smallest buttons
you have ever seen. Then there Is an
inch-wide belt attached to this bodice
section through which a ribbon is
drawn 50 that the waist band may be
adjusted to fit the individual figure.
From this hangs n full and finely
plated skirt. There are mere little
suggestions Of straps to be worn over
the shoulders and to hold the garment
In place. You can readily see that
this sort OF long Chemise Is Just the
very thing for a foundation for the
newer dresses, and with 1t need be
worn only a pair OF blOOmers plus the
brassiere and corset, II these things
are considered necessary.
One OF these little underslips Is made
Of the softest and finest Of flesh-cOl-
Ored. silk, that is truly French In
weave, for we find 1t hard to get Just
that quality In this country. The lit
tie squares are double hemstitched
around all Of their sides, and In the
middle Of each is posed a little blue
embroidered in light
blue silk. The ribbon that runs

All Of Paris has been laughing over
q play called 'L'Air de Paris" In
which the principal figure is an Amer
lean ex-soldier. The successful plays,
observes a fashion writer, always
bring about a display Of clothes both
on the stage and of. The costumes
for this play are a sort Of reinstate-
ment In the good graces Of the Parish
an Of the house Of Drecol, which has
been somewhat criticized owing to
the fact that It formerly was an Aus
trian organization, the parent house
originating in Vienna. But being able
to substantiate fits claim Of English
and French ownership. this house
weathered the storm Of criticism and
is now in full favor.
The costumes made for the play
LAIR de- Paris" are very typical Of
the work OF the house Of Drecoll,
which has catered more or less to
conservative taste, while at the same
time giving all its creations the Pa
-risian touch so essential to successful
local operations. The clothes made
for this piece are just such as the
smart Parisienne herself wears, and
are in no sense eccentric theatrical
things.
Vivid Hats Top Costumes.
Extremely typical is an afternoon
dress which emphasizes the cOntin-
ued popularity of pleatings and the
taste for the cape wrap in harmony
with the dress. The model is devel-
oped In gray serge and gray crepe de
chine. Both the skirt and the cape
are of sun-pleated serge, while the
tunic bodice or top OF the dress is OF
gray crepe de chine of exactly match
ing shade embroidered in black, the
pattern being both light and heavy.
There is a narrow line Of black en-
broldery at the bottom Of the skirt.
The collar is Of blue fox. AS a strik-
this toilette is in one Of the vivid
copper or rust browns. In this in
stance a very high tone Of cOppery
pink is used.
Green is apparently a favorite col
or, as evidenced I'm a dress Of white
cloth with a lovely matching mantle
lined with vivid green and trimmed
with black and silver embroideries.
This is completed by a small tricOrne
hat having a split brim In the same
flashing jewel-lIke green.
Extremely modest in coloring and
smart in line is model Of black and
gray crepe de chine with lovely en-
brOideries and soutache braidlng,
which on the gray are done in black
and on the black In gray. An impOT-
tant note in the completion Of this
toilette is the vivid tOque made Of vel
vet and wings in deep green, a tur-
quoise green shade which ICSkes a
startling but interesting contrast to
the sober gray and black Of the dress.

METALLIC BEAD BAG FASHION
Accessory Dear to the Heart Of EV-
cry Woman, Now Requires Care
full Consideration.

The bead bags have taken several
new turns for the better. One Is the
metallic bead bag, the beads, though
colored, showing the metallic glitter.
These draw up for the most part on
beaded strings. The small dinner
bag" Just large enough to swing from
one finger, is particularly good In
these beads. Small taffeta bags, part
ly beaded, are attractive In color, and
novelty is navy taffeta with
fiRme-colored stitching, entirely COW
cred by q fringe Of blue beads, re-
peating the design In flame beads.
Henna mocha is making some very
stunning suit bags
Every woman who has ever had
one will sing the praises Of a black
evening gown. Nothing gives such
satisfactory service and admits Of so
many color contrasts. By having half
a dozen different color changes for
the black gown you get the same ef-
feet as you would with half a dozen
different colored gowns. You can do
this with your fan, the single ostrich
plume on a tortoise bracelet being the
newest thing in this line. Flame, or
ange and jade, with the softer colors,
such as orchid, ciel blue and pale bun
combined, are most popular. On
curled ostrich for the spread fan,
sometimes with the curled tip, is pre-
ferred to the whole curled plume. Or
you can get your color note In your
beads, for right now the cut amber
and a brilliant red bakelite beads are
being worn extensively. Bracelets,
too, are cOlorful, and II one is not
enough, you can wear three all at
once. Snake bracelets studded with
colOred brilliants add life to a somber
ensemble, as do the ivory bangles with
cOlored enamel decorations.

FrOcks Of blue tricotine have col
lars Of black satin which button high
around the neck.
Five and six-inch laees, dyed any
preferred tint, are made up into charm
ing evening gowns and dancing frOekS.
Crepe meteor, crepe de chine ana
an silks with crepe surfaces or Weaves
are In high favor for frOcks for next
spring.
Wool Jersey cloth Is one Of tie pres
ent season fabric leaders for sport
blouses and mOcks The trimming
most used Is heavy embroidery, which
may be done IN wool, chenille or
wooden beads.

through the waist band Is blue, to
match the embroidery, and otherwise
the chemise Is quite simple In design.
Another one Of this same sort Is
trimmed with up-tO-date rows Of
double hem-stitching, with rows Of
hand-run tucks between the rows Of
hem-stitching. 1t has, In addition, lit
tie inserts Of ValeRciennes lace no
wider than the merest fraction Of an
inch, simply a touch Of whlteness to
break the general pInkness Of the gar
ment.
As yet these chemise slips have not
been generally adopted BY the women
In America, although they are univer-
sally worn In Paris by the smart dress
ers there. However, II the one-piece
dress continues to grow In favor, as
1t seems likely to do. then, no doubt,
there will be a leaning in the diree-
ton Of this new type Of lingerie.
