Wool Gains Prominence

THE fabrics Of the mode, that is, the
materials that will be used in
clothes for the new season, are Of tre-
mendous interest in the Spring and
Fall This Spring the interest will be
greater than ever, because of the prom
inence which wool takes in the offer
ing5 OF the Paris dresSmakers. 1t is
stressed now even more than in q
normal Winter season.
This unusual interest in wool for
Summer wear Is justified by the inter-
esting fabrics that wooden manufac-
turers have created Filiamah and
trtanah are the names of two Of the
new ones. contributed by the house of
Paul Brion, and featured by several of
the most important dreSSmaking houses.
They are remarkably fine, light and
silky In appearance; delicate enough TO
be made into formal dresses.
Wool voiles are prominent, including
an interesting dcable material. really
two voiles woven together This, too, is
incredibly light in weight.
Standings IN a new range consist OF
wool shantungs. those Of silk and wool
mixture, 'ond the regular shantung
weaves with heavy threads introduced
to give lined or checked effects
Then there is the "senellic" family, o
range of artificial silks. Apparently
every type Of fabric can be mace from
this base; senellic material seeming to
be feather-Weight kashas, silk crepes.

Table Silver Placed
With Each CsOurst

WE have to be open minded In this
matter of setting the table. For
manners change as times do and every
ence in while some new idea comes
into vogue in table manners or table
equipment that makes it necessary for
us to revise our set rules in this regard.
Now, for instance, a new custom has
sprung up regarding the way to set the
dinner table. The old idea was that
always we should put enough fat silver
knives, forks, spoons, etc.-on the
table to begin with to last through the
entire meal. An exception was made tns
the case Of very long dinner with many
courses, when it came to be the right
form to put only enough silver on ta1e
table for the first four or five courses
Always the coffee spoons were reserved
until the time when the coffee was
served. But with these limitations she
table was pretty heavy with silver.
Sometimes there we're two or three.
knives and four forks with soup spoon
as well. -.
Now there has sprung UP notion
that q display Of so much silver on the
table Is unnecessary, and that ire
simpler the setting of the table the BEE
ter. Many hoStesses have adopted the.
idea set in one of two of the smartest
hotels of having only enough silver for
is served. This has several advantages
that may net appear at first For one
thing, the man or woman who Is not
quite sure what fork to use will not
meet the embarrassment of having TO
decide Obviously he uses the fork that
is set before him with the course Ia
question. Also this is a pleasant IN
novation for the woman who has not:a
lavish supply of silver. With little
careful management in the pantry, used
silver may be washed ready to be used
at the next course. 4teal

"AND with this costume she wore
a paper hat" Not 50 funny as 1t
sounds. In fact. it Is the truth in
this year of 1891 when, more than ever
before, things are not what they seem
in fashion Along with wooden dresses
that look like silk, and silk dresses that
initiate the patterns of fine woolens,
has come the paper pretending 70 De
straw which will cover many OF the
smartest heads this Spring.
How far has this paper strayed from
the prosaic newsprint on which We In
scribe our fashion notes, or even from
the glorified paper from which little
girls fashion party dresses for paper
dolls. Togo, we are told, is its real
name--a japanese word meaning East,
or Far East-and it is made OF very
thin and remarkably strong tissue paper
rolled into strands and then braided
together The Japanese, always among
the worlds cleverest initators, plat 1t
into fabrics Stimulating every accepted
exotic weave of straw, such as bakou,
panama, balibuntal and bangkok. AL
these new paper straws are impervious
to moisture and very durable.
Along the Rue de. la Paix and on
our own Fifth avenue and Fifty-sev-
enth street milliners are busy with
these paper straws, for one OF the most
interesting things about many of the
new simulated fabrics, for millinery as
we'll as for dresses is that they are ca
pahle of taking high places in tli4 fash

Paris Dresses
Reported Shorter

MoLYNEUx shows two-piece Jumper
dresses for all occasions, including
the evening. At this house sports and
day clothes are shorter, with hens of
skirts IA inches from the ground for in
formal clothes, 10 to IL inches for after
noon dresses, while evening skirts for
dancing are from TX to 3 inches above
the ankle. Skirts OF formal dinner
dresses touch the floor. Coat sleeves are
straight to the wrist with no cuffs, or
three quarter length. With printed
dresses large papier mache beads, paint

Afternoon dresses are shown with
matching parasols.
Cabot features the Empire waistline
in all types OF dress. AT this house
morning and sports clothes are 10
inches from the floor, while afternoon
dresses reach almost to the ankle. Eve
ming dresses are long. Many have
trains. Taffeta is used for afternoon
dresses and also for short evening coats
Patou shows new silhouette; all the
fullness is placed at the sides, with the
back and front fiat. Many flchu effects
are seen on dresses. Colors featured by
Patou are opaline yellow and opaline
green, alone, and in combination with
Drown ana DldCk. NEW 1IOSUCSS SOWAlo

Lanvin shows the French Colonial in
fiuence in materials, color and line
throughout her collection. Wooden
beads make necklaces, belts and short
evening coats. Flaring, openwork pep
lums are shown on many dresses, espe-
cially evening gowns. A new evening
silhouette at this house shows a sheath
slip with skirts in series of pleated ruff

ened to flare out.

They Are Favored as
Important in Cur
rent FashiOns-Vari-
ETY. in Coat Lengths,
Pleated Skirts and
Color Contrasts Are
Outstanding.

THREE-PIECE suits are important
in fashions. This Spring we are TO
have what is termed "a phenomenal
suit season" It is advisable, therefore,
to have considerable knowledge of suits
as to cut. fabric and color, before going
out to buy, for much is offered.
Variety in the length of coats is ap-
parent. Thus every occasion can be
suited and every taste gratified. Patou
makes ensembles with three-quarter-
length coats; very elegant looking suits
these, and smart for afternoon wear
Other designers make coats just TO the
hips; these, so youthful and so smart
in appearance, will be seen about town
in the early Spring.
Double-breasted Jackets, in plain col
ors such as blue or brown, with belts at
the back, are important, worn with
plaid skirts and plaid wooden scaris,
tied Ascot fashion.
QUIT coats agree in fitted waistlines
~ or some method of indicating the
waiStline. For this reason belts are
desirable and therefore fashionable
belts all the way around to draw the
coat in at the waistline, or half belts.
They may be of the fabric, fastened
with silver buckle, as is smart, or OF
leather. Wide crushed belts of patent
leather may be termed high light OF
style this Spring.

Styles Platter,
Increase Charm

You need not be sweet Is nor eager
13 nor thrilling 20 to be warmly en-
thusiastic about the new clothes Unless
you are incurably blase you will not
be able to resist them, and planning
and buying the Spring wardrobe
whether 1t is little or big-promises
to be a much more thrilling business
this year than it has been for years
and years.
The silhouette remains practically
unchanged so far as fundamentals are
concerned. 1t is the same thing that we
saw last season at the fashion shows
but with important notifications and
adaptations. Charming for young girls,
but very trying for the older woman"
was the comment we heard again and
again last year. Now, by ways known
only to the clever dressmakers, the
youthful silhouette of last season has
been retained and changed here and
there just enough to make it generally
fiattering. With the fashion world so
full Of number of perfectly charming
and fiattering hats and dresses and
coats and blouses and scarfs and neck
laces, we should all be as happy as
queens are supposed to be.
No one can tell precisely how much
fashions are the outcome of conditions
ditions about us, but surely clothes as
lovely as those offered for us to wear
this Spring-colors that are joyous. hats
that are alluring ought to do much to
make us glad to be alive in 1881.
The new colors really are joyous,
and they are literally as well as flgura-
lively good enough to eat. There are
melcn pink and apple green, banana
yellow, raspberry, apricot, lime and rhu-
barb-not to mention the more prosaiC
prune and toast. But the best thing
about the color outlook for Spring is
that no one color, and no one range of
eolorS, must be worn for the sake OF
smartness. There Is wide range from
which to choose. For evening you may
wear one of the more radiant flower
or fruit shades or you may choose q
pastel tone of subtler sort, remembering
always that bright colors are best re-
vealed by dull-faced fabrics and that
If smooth material like satin is chosen
the color should be of the softer sort
| You may wear black for any occasion
because some of the smartest of thu
new French clothes are all black, Oh
black relieved with a touch Of color
You may wear dark brown or dull
dark green or prune If your own brilli-
ance is best set of by a darker color
For daytime you may choose blacl

New Three-Piece Suits

fitted hip-length jacket belted with
patent leather. 1t was worn with
patent leather pumps and a purse Of
the same shining leather was carried
with it. A tricorne hat of shiny black
straw, perched on the back of the head
completed the ensemble.
Collars are as varied as the cut Of
coats. There are the suit that is col
larless, the one collared with long.
haired, fluffy fur. such as fox, wolf OF
lynx; the coat with the scarf collar
this is very important in new fashions
and the coat with the standing col
lar of fiat fur, either a straight band
or in Medici style.

WITH the collarless coat comes the
separate scarf to be worn with it
as a substitute for the missing collar
1t is placed in intriguing ways, for in
stance, folded to form a bib in the
front and tied in the back.
Skirts are made with narrow yokes,
completed by pleated sections, the full
ness of the pleats released slightly above
the knees, or they may be of the wrap
around type with a single pleat at the
side.
Materials range from rough pebbly
cloth to smooth thin broadcloth. Col
ors are black, dark blue and various
shades of brown and beige. Combina-
tions of two colors as in jackets of one
color with skirts of another, are fea-
tured at Paris openings. Unusual In
deed are some of the color combina-
tions such as a banana -colored coat
lined with dark brown silk, worn with
a brown silk skirt, or light green coat

One of the dead-white paper pafa-

season in general and of those designed
by Patou In particular. The brim and

Knitted Wool.

Knitted wooden garments vary enor-
Enously the way they Withstand wash
ing. The rule of lukewarm water is
most important. Soap should not be
used directly. The best way to 90
about it is to pour boiling water on
soap chips or soap shavings, allowing
the soap to become entirely dissolved.
If necessary put it over the stove until
the soap is entirely taken up by the
water. This should then be poured
into the tub or basin in which the
wooden garments, are to be washed,
enough cool water being added to make
1t lukewarm. A little of the soap
solution may be reserved to put In the
rinsing waters, for it is generally agreed
that the rinsing baths for sweaters
should be slightly soapy.
