THE TENDENCY IS I
TO LAVISH STYLES
FABRICS FOR FALL SHOW A
WIDE RANGE OF MATERIAL
AND ORNAMENTATION.
The effort to revive more elabor
ate styles is very much Mn evidence J
all over the range of formal and in
formal garments now- being present
ed by the leading domestic ready to
wear producers. In many instances
the change is merely due to an effect]
of elaboration, occasioned by the
adoption of spectacular fabrics hith
erto associated with luxurious modes
for sports and informal wear, accord
ing to the New York Times.
“Among the outstanding changes
in this classification is the adoption
of patterned metal novelties for two
piece dresses. These fabrics, having
previously been confined to de luxe
or theatrical presentations, now find
themselves in high favor when com
bined with plain satins, dull crepes
or the new light weight velvets and
in extreme contrasts, such as pastel
tone figure lame with sapphire or
midnight blue.
“Printed velvets of the most bril
liant colorings are allotted to the
semi-sports groups, aS\ well as those
for late afternoon. A more conserv
ative handling of formal types up
holds plain velvets, moire, taffeta,
the popular crepes and satins, surah
and the combinations of fabrics

I which have held sway during the past
season. •
| “Among the feather-weight wool
ens the cashmeres, reps, lustrous
twills, broadcloths, duvetyns, invisi
bly patterned novel weaves and crepe
textures are advocated. Their com
bination with silks introduces several
of unusual interest, notably broad
cloth and moire; cashmere, velvet
and net; velvet, reps and metal. A
leading house announces that it is
reinstating fi^e poiret twills for .
dresses and broadcloth for a new
type of youthful tailored suit. The
I velvet suit with a wool faille waist- '
coat- is also submitted.
“Despite the verdict earlier ren- >
dered by many of the couturiers that 1
sombre or closely toned shadings 1
were on the wane it is found that
American houses of note continue
this color handling with results both
new and interesting.
“Among the colors which are re
peated in both coat and dresses, or
uSed as contrasts with black, navy
and negre, are the many diversified
reds, from lacquer and magenta to
deepest dahlia tones, including those
of strong purple cast; the burnt al-1
mond range; greens from the new’
electric green to pine tree, orchid to
deep purple, plum and damson, and
blues from the new faint grayish
tones to sapphire and navy. Reds
and blues appear to have the strong
• early preference.

i coming blouse movement in the mat
» ter of silhouettes with two-piece
dresses holding their own in houses
of superior production.’’

TRY THIS AND
HAVE GAS TO SELL
A story is going the rounds to the
effect that a certain automobile own
er installed a newfangled carburetor
that was guaranteed to save 20 per
cent in gas. Then he put in special
spark plugs to' save 20 peh cent of
the same precious fluid, and an in
take superheater that was guaran
teed to save 20 per cent. He next
put in a patented rear axle that was
also guaranteed to save 20 per cent
and re-tired with a new brand of
tires that promised a 20 per cent
saving in gas consumption. Finally,
he drained his crank case and refilled I
it with a new oil guaranteed to in-'
crease his mileage 20 per cent. Now,
with a fuel economy of 120 per cent,
the owner has to stop every hundred
miles and bail out the gas tank to
keep it from running over.—High
