Printed Innings as Trimmings

A riviera coat by the same maker
shows an advance spring idea, not
ably the use of the high colored
printed lining, which is also a part
of the trimming, revers and collar,
the collar and cuffs icing faced
with the printed crepe. The cut Of
the coat shows a slight circular
flare. The waistline is placed very
low. The material is beige cloth.
The lining Of crepe de chine, is
printed in warm tones of rose, vel
low and green. The wrap fastens
with a single large button of fantas-
tic design in rose and beige.
Jenny also uses very quaint ruffs

Printed Fabrics

An outburst of color Is the most
salient feature of fashions at the
moment. 1t is almost impossible to
realize the far-reaching effect of
this outburst. 1t is far reaching not
only in the effect that it has on
women's dress in general, but upon
the trades and industries Of the
world.
Methods of making fabrics and of |
adjoining them, hitherto unused or
long since idle, are now in full |
swing. All sorts of printing and dy-
ing processes are affected by fash
ions. Fashions is more than an in
fluence; it is a vital and powerful
stimulus to many of the worlds
most important industries. 1t is
unfortunate that fashions are treat
ed in a disparaging way by those
who do not understand their full
significance.
Fashions are not trifling and
frivolous. Few realize that not only
hundreds, but thousands, of people
are set to work when a new fash
ion goes over, or a great demand is
created for special types Of mate
rails.
Cav Wool Embroideries.
One Of the first examples Of
printing on wool is seen in the
Molyneux model at the center Of
the group of three at the bottom OF
today's page. The costume Illus
trated is a three-piece suit of print
. ted and plain navy blue serge. The
colors are subdued but in multiple
tones. Pleated panels Of plain
serge are introduced in the back OF
the mantle-like sleeveless coat and
in the front Of the dress.
Very interesting are the balloon
like pleated puffs which form sort
of cuff trimming on the long sleeves
Of the dress, which form also the
only visible sleeves of the coat
