Silk Alpaca and Faille Fashionable

The two surprising fabrics Of the
fashionable French season have been
silk alpaca and stiff silk faille.
Neither was so usual, or course, as
the black satin crepos which were far
and away the most popular fabrics.
silk alpaca though, caught on as
soon as 1t was introduced and has al
ready made its way from Paris to
New York where 1t is being shown In
navy blue and black.
The black faille shown Is OF the
very havy, stiff quality used by our
grandin others for their Sundy-go-to-
meeting dresses. 1t is made into
coats and wraps now and Is trimmed
with fashionable furs.
Black and white has been the
favored color scheme of Paris, but
the popularity of navy blue is in
creasing day by day and is expected
to be the favored shade for fall.
