When a salesman talks of wauze,” one can listen to him without a thrill, even though he brings forth the most enchanting of flowered stuffs to illus- trate his theme, but when one reads in a jeseription of a Callot frock that it was made of “gauze mille-fleurs” straightwa 'the poet in one awakes.

The various phasés of (hese supple, shimmering, printed silks were im- mensely attractive and some of them were & far cry from the ordinarily accepted foulard. There were beautiful printed twills, too, which American salesmen would also in- clude among the foulards. Printed silk diagonals, printed crepe, printed crepon and printed crape wntique (& crepe with very crimpy surface)—all are fashionable, all are beautiful. That word “Imprimes” (printed) appears after & very large percentage of the names, Never has there been such a season of lovely printed designs in ali materials,” but there are plenty of broche and ramage de- signs, too, plain stuffs galore, embroidered designs and chameleon effects without number, Mention has been made earller In the sea- son of the possibilities for striped materials and the vogue of the stripe scems to be slowly, but surely growing in Paris, though it has at yet found but a slight echo here.

The chiffon was embroidered In self-color and softened by belng made up over creamy white chiffon being held in loosely toward | the bottom by & wide band of fine cream | lace. The eglantine tunic was draped quite | high at the sides, leaving much of the wmu‘l underskirt in evidence. | A collarless guimpe was of the cream lace and through the plain chiffon drapery of the bodice showed a wide band of em- broidery worked In lantine upon |he‘ cream foundation.

Silver lace and little stiff rosettes of the blue were the only trimming. | point Going back once more to the matter of the beautiful vivid colorings mention should be made of the chiffon model in color and made over black satin, which figures in one of the small cuts. A refer- ence was made to this model last week, but no sketch was given then and one can understand oeit from a sketch than from any desuription the absolute sim- plicity of lus in w was nevertheless a notable gown because of Its chie coloring and lovely roaterial. This same model has been broughl over {n & Tuscane yellow and in a Privtcmaps green, but with these colorings a one-tone scheme is main- tained, the black being eliminated and the chiffon being made up over self-color or over white entirely velled. Women have not put aside black with the coming of spring days and springtime colorings and a rather surprising number of black street costumes are to be noted wherever fashionable folk congregate’ Many of these costumes are in soft satiny black silk and chiffon, sllk and etamine, silk and cashmere or serge, or all - silk and they usually take the form of trot- ting frock and coat, the coat being entirely of the silk, while the frock Is largely of the other material trimmed with the silk Often the frock skirt is of silk up to the where It meets the coat Some exceedingly good-looking tailored models are in % black sllk, which probably bears the name of some kind of pongee, and oddly enough several of the smartest models of this type seen recently have been trimmed in & black silk of high luster or satin. One model from Francis which was particularly trig and knowing- looking was of the black raw silk, with plpings of black satin and had a curious little Eton or bolero jacket arrangement with a collar of Japanese blue embroldery. Of the vogue of black and white we have jsi raw BROWN CREPE AND LACE, | | spoken before and there are chic little | trotting frocks of black and white printed foulard, chiffon, ete, trimmed in black silk and with coats of the black sllk.

One good looking little morning frock in brown and white foulard had the upper part of the bodice in a brown broche eta- mina gven the white chiffon, and a clever Taverhier model In foulard has an under bodice of chiffon and an over bodice of the silk which runs up in scarf fashion over : the shoulders and is tied llke a scarf in front of each shoulder. This neéw version of the jumper is shown in one of the small | | plctures. The Russian blouse of chiffon over a skirt or under robe of silk finds expression many grades and in many materials, ranging from very cheap and common- place mod; to others which, though on approximately the same lines, have pro- nounced distinction. It all depends upon | whether or not the idea has filtered through | an artist's brain, We were impressed by this fact the other day, when after seeing a host of eheap and unattractive Russian blouse frocks, during a tour of the shops, we wandered into a work room and came upon & model just out of its packing case, | and being enthusiastically admired by a curps of appreciative work women. It too was a Russian model, upon simple Mnes, but & Russian model with a differ- ence. The skirt was of king's blue satin in & rather deep shade.

There was a narrow band of dull gold galon on the collar and on each sleeve and the belt was of dull gold. The very sligint contrast of the two tones, the beauty of the soutache embroidery ana the perfection of line made this a most individual and ad- mirable model, though in point of general lne it had much in common with a host of undesirables.
