FABRICS FOR FALL
Brilliant Types Of Silk Are Used
for Coat Lining.
coiors Of the Tropics Are In EvIdene.
Ia Many Of the Numbers
for the Season.

The Importance with which hro.
eades are regarded for the fall and
winter season Is illustrated In q
rail- line. which contains an unusual
number Of brocades In a large variety
OF fabrics and patterns.
The featured cloth is klo-ka. which
10 Itself, offers a diversity Of patterns.
The foundation is an open weave of
nne wool, on which Is a pattern made
oy puffy or blistered treatment Of
silk. The whole is usually in a single
Tone, but there is an occasional com.
binstion Of two tones.
These patterns range from the .:in-
pie, an-Over Oblong block. that would
be suitable for outing wear, to elabo-
rate brOcaded patterns made by the
puffed silk. and adaptable for formal
dresses and wraps.
kameo crepe appears in brocaded
patterns for the first time. These are
intended. in many instances. for fur
coat Innings, making the brilliant type
Of lining that in some colorings. such
as a greenish gold. has q metallic ap-
pearance.
Subway. chinchilla satin and satin
with plain or glace ground, are all
figured with brocaded grounds, some
good looking Innings being achieved
with the satin weaves.
Other numbers are figured In sim
pier ways. Molly-O, for example,
which hitherto has been only a plain
cloth, develops stripes In the new line,
showing both the crepe and soft satin
weaves on the surface. Crepe d'amour,
the semi-transparent weave, is now
seen IN the shadow checks and plaids
In addition 10 the brocades, the
company attaches great importance to
plush striped novelties. Narrow stripes
are seen on wolfe and wide ones on
satin. Heavy canton crepe serves as
the ground for some Of these fancies,
including a clipped number In which
the plush makes small squares.
In the class Of plain fabrics are two
specialties-one, called crepe stellar,
with a semi-lusrous face broken by
almost invisible checks In the weave /;
the other, cote de cheval, a dull fabric
Of the crepe de chine family, In which
the familiar warp stripe Is made Of
tiny chevronS
Color interest that has developed
so FAR In these plain and novelty
fabrics centers around the browns,
from the light chocolate browns to
deeper tones. Morocco. the dull red
is another favorite.
The print collection makes up In
brilliancy Of color for any dizziness in
the popular plain colors. Some de-
signs have the color luxuriance Of the
tropics, and others the less exotic rich
ness Of oriental design. Some suggest
modern paintings, and one has batik
effect with cracked ground. In addi-
ton to the staple ground colors used.
4 bright green appears frequently.
One cannot say that the precise,
small patterns Of the spring season
have been completely abandoned, for
there are some distinctive interpreta-
tons Of this style of print, but the
general effect is of holiness and col
orfulness. These big patterns. which
appear on pussy willow and pussy
willow satin. are considered suitable
Tor fur coat Innings. Between the
small patterns and the large, daring
ones. is a group Of moderately sized
detached patterns in soft colorings.
Fruit and flower groups appear In
this type.
