12 SOCTETY ~ EFFORT MADE TO REINSTATE TAFFETA AS LEADING FABRICS FOR EVENIN - ONE OF Ribbon Frocks Gain “in Favor Because “They Lend Them- “selves to the Ex- ‘ploited Silhouette That Is Taken From the Second Empire. ‘Material’s Accept-| ance Suggests Arti- ficial Figures of :Other Centuries. BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. F the Americans won't take taffeta by the yard, let them take it in ribbon and build frocks. Such is the decree of the Paris dress- malkers. ‘Whether or not this decree comes about through a paucity of fabric in the French markets or from obsti- nacy in holding the two fabrics, taf- feta and crepe de chine, in the first place of fashion. is immaterial. The fact which is about to govern our Dewest gowns s that these two ma- terials will be employed to build a ‘Vast and diverse number of garments. ‘We have ndt had the crepe de chine obsession over here.

That might do for one city, they said, but ,mot a continent. ' Duvetyn caught us right and good. ' It swirled over the continent like & ;@torm. Every woman was snatched -up by it although warnings were sent wout broadcast as to its ability to per- j4sh. But the time for this velvety and ‘dangerous, yet altogether lovely, fab. : e is passing.

What we will wear s the problem shaping in our minds. answer accents taffeta and crepe de chine. We are to take up the Ffench fashion, you see. * * * % It 1s wise for a woman to regard ‘well her own figure and type as she roaches a season devoted to the ption of these two materials. It may not be necessary for her to between them. If she is ex- empt from the troublesome and vexa- tious business of always making & elioice, of trying to be fashionable @d not unlovely at the same time, thén let her trip lightly into any )p or dressmaking house and pick | at random that which is put before her and which pleases her whim “She perplexed majority are not as ey must bring more judg- it and shrewdness than inclina- and money to the proposition of ew frock or an entire seasonal ‘wardrobe.

The looms seem to have thrown themselves into a fervor of ecstasy in creating figuratjons for women to bear upon their bodies. The ghops cry aloud these wares. The ready-to-wear people—and that includes some of the smartest houses—push forward the flowered fabrics to ell comers. It is not difficult to foretell weariness be- fore the season is well advanced, be- cause numbers of women will buy such clothes in abundance because they are “the style.” Voile, georgette, silks, cottons, even Tinen bear the impress of the colored stamp.

One of the new Paris gowns shows a lgvish use of & new kind of bead, one made of cotton. a kind of French knot, the embroiderers call it. It is quite solid, completely round and without weight. These cotton beads cover the surface of crepe de chine frocks that carry their own full capes hanging from a yoke col- lar which straightens them out at the cover the the bip line and Got the skirt ke fine entire corsage of | mestings, primitiveness. Tattooing 1s imitated. The wild obsession for the South Sea Islands that took possession of the Eu- ropean artist and literary set may have spread itself over on the clothes-design- ing set. Possibly the woven and ap- plied figurations that have shuttled in and out of fabrics for thousands of years are founded upon man's early desire to be tattooed. Seriously, some of the designs are quite near kin to the skin adornment of the artistic savage. Let us hope they will not grow to resemble birthmarks. Beauty and not oddity is the ruling idea in the patterned ribbons which we are asked to bulld into frocks. Usually the design is floral. The col- oring is brilliant. Nothing Dresden- esque, nothing pastel. Again the de- sign reverts to an old pattern, one of water waves. When watered ribbon and fabric were at the height of their power there was the same kind of artificial silhouette that the new taf- feta frocks now attempt to revive. Jeanne Lanvin, the Paris designer, who kLas Influenced thousands of women who have never heard her name, is responsible for these gowns, and she builds an especially good one for the spring season of wide watered ribbon put together with strips of black Chantilly lace. The top of the bodice is of the lace. In still another evening gown of this type she uses the small puffed sleeve with' a lace ruffle falling from it. It gives us a l:lnclrwu\l glimpse into Godey's Maga~ ne. She also revives the garifand of flow~ ers on sudh frocks. This fashion has been in distinguished use since Thanksgiving, but not as a general Zashion. It is apt to be badly done, especially when the flowers lack skill and refinement. Poseibly the colored cocarde with two streamers which Lanvin uses to ‘“sign” her new gowns is & way to use costly ribbon that the majority will accept. They can attach it to any kind of frock even though it be of softly falling crepe de chine with the bias drapery that we call Grecian. * % Xk X Hats of ribbon arc frequent. The milliners see an excellent chance just here to fashion those midséason head coverings which are mainly experi- ments. Floral ribbon has taken the place of the once-popular flower, the dahlia, the violet. Straw _hats, which have more dis- tinction this early season than those of fabric, re trimmed with floral rib- bon sometimes gorgeous in its make- up, and entire hats are built of it with a pheassnt's feather to float back- ward. If the Americans sucoeed in bringing in the directoire silhouette, even though modified into common suit- ability, the fashion for ribbon will in- crease, It will be essential to those poke bonnets that go with the short- ‘waisted frock. Ske who will not look with longing eyes upon a _wide-skirted, tigh bodiced frock of glorified ribbon at a high price has interest in the fash- ion, nevertheless. It suggests to her a chance to use ribbon in remodeling or in building a new gown. rders_have gained in impor- tanee since the New Year, ribbons on the iedge of points or ruffles of thin matertal are effective. Serge or twill frocks may carry broad sashes of flowered or striped taffeta ribboa. whole bodice may be fashioned from broad ribbon and added to a skirt of solld color and another Such. :zo many manifestations of rib- m, TLe preference is given to taffeta amang all eilks in an effort to rein- state hte fabric as a leading one for eveilng, if not for everyday wear, and this causes ribbon of that par- ticular weave to rise in splendor. Faded colors in taffeta, such as clvil war women wore, will be returned to- fashion,.but given new luster by lands of flowers running down one hip or over one shoulder. Faded be! slightly distended at the hips, a few inches longer than the prevailing skirt length, a tight bodice that reaches well below the normal waist line and a garland of morning glories from the. right hip may sound like the descrip- tion’ of a gown worn by the heroine of a romantic novel of another period, but the truth is that the costums will o om | rn now and here.
