indications point to an extensive
use of cotton dresses. Whether
France is presenting cotton fabrics
| owing to the high cost of raw silk and
the difficulty of competing in fabrics
| of that kind is Il moot question. But
the fact remains that Paris manufac-
turerS are busily engaged on cotton
dresses for export in large quantities.
The favorite is Il crepe which has
come into prominence since it has
been taken up by the Paris dreSsmak-
ers. A year ago everybody was ask
ing for crepe de chine, crepe georgette
and cotton voile Now the vogue has
turned to crepe roumaya.
characterization Much the Same.
characterization is much the same on
these dresses MS it was on wolfe
dresses last summer. Cotton crepe
dresses are being hand-drawn, deco
rated with hand and machine en-
broidery and with fine cut steel and
crystal beads in all colors. One of
the most interesting novelties is the
cashmere colored bead which lends
itself beautifully to the Oriental pat
terms now creeping into the embroid-
cry designs.
The Russian influence is noted In
many OF the new designs in cotton
dresses. This means the low belt and
the full sleeve. In dresses OF this type
sleeves are very wide and many o
them short. The characterization l.
done with distinctly Russian feeling
concentrating on bands and motif
rather than appearing in the scattere,
allover designs of last season.
Every indication points to the crepe
rornaya dress, despite its conpar;t
lively low price, remaining in the nov
city class. The mills in France have
not produced enough of this materia
to take care of the sudden demand

Cotton crepes are in beautiful
