Again We Mention Rayon While cotton and silk have been engaged in a spirited race prominence in the fabric field newcomer has appeared. It pla the role of the proverbial 'dark horse," for it was disregarded ut- terly during its earlier appear- ances. True, there was a reason for this--it had not reached stage of perfection that made worthy rival to either of familiar materials. All this however, been changed. What could be more appealing to the woman buyer than a fabric that has much of the sheen and luster of silk, yet is available at far lower prices than this desirable material?

Some of the rayon fabrics are #0 charming that they are being used for the maid's frocks in wed- ding parties--a genuine recom- mendation! And threads of rayon are adding beauty to duller threads, making this. new "yarn" doubly important in a material way. But we are interested, at the moment, in the practical, sum. mer daytime frock, and it is in this group that we find more of the fabrics using this new thread. The Simple Daytime Dress Cotton broadcloths, voiles, linens, pigués, prints of various sorts and the rayon weaves--and those kin to 'them---meke up a group that = promises beauty, variety and smart- of which rayon | be blue; as yesterday it was green | what al these | and rayon| fabrics add so much to them, that | Summer makes use of crepe for daytime ensembles, if one prefers silk to cotton, and there is always the charm of utter correctness in de chine and the va- made into a costume ensemble. Nor need this be at all formal, for we know that these fabrics tailor extremely well, For the formal daytime frock, lovely | materials abound, but they are used in a different manner for this purpose. Lace, Chiffon And Georgette This group of stuffs the formal afternoon affair, although they are used in models that differ appreciably. Lace combines with either chiffon | or Georgette, and is used alone, and it is considered the leading | fabric of formality at the present | time. There are times when only the sleeves mark frock as be- longing to afternoon, for its elab- oration is quite equal tosthat of any evening model. The color range is always chang- ing, but it widens, rather than narrows. 'Today it is gray that takes the lead; tomorrow it may Georgette, rious silks, belongs to or evening a or beige. One is never sure just the most important color may be at the moment, and after all, it is not necessary to know+-- one may make her selection from the colors offered, quite sure of | their correctness, considering her individual needs, first of all. Apart from fabric and color, we | are interested most in fashion de- tails, which are, at the moment, showing signs of change. Paris cables tell us of Paris showings by famous couturieres, and they are replete with interest, for' they foretell the fall and winter mode, even before summer is really here. In these showings there are in- teresting stories of the probable | colors, fabrics and lines of our | next definite mode, | Concerning The Skirt Length | A group of a half dozen houses | report on the length of the skirt, | and they seem to agree that it will |be longer. One says "slightly longer," while another says "all skirts definitely longer." So we can safely assume that the trend lis that way, and we have escaped, for a time at least, the tragedy of the too short skirt. The irregular | | hemline still persists wherever it! | is possible to make use of it. A word of warning may not | come amiss--the skirt that dips in | the back can be a very charming lor a very ugly thing. When the hemline is too long in fromt, or i | lines and all Details Continue Very Important There is no diminution in the use of details to achieve subtle ef- fects that continue, in spite of such details, extremely simple. Belts, sashes and girdles abound; fagot- ting, pin tucks, the use of diagonal sorts of handwork, done on the fabric of the model, are seen; ties, scarfs, bertha and cape arrangements are featured. Two materials and two colors pres- ent contrasts that are singularly | effective. The ensemble dominates the de from morning until night, and evening frocks have coats of lace or spangled net to keep them in this mode. Many of the houses stress red for immediate wear, and for both day and evening pur- poses. Nearly every house men- tions black for evening, and many offer white. In general, colors seem to be rather decided, the fainter tones out of the picture for the time being. COLOR IN JEWELRY The question of color in jewelry is becoming a most important one. For daytime wear the colored necklace is far more appropriate than the one that lacks color, if | one excepts metal pieces in gold, silver or copper. Blue is approved of fashion, also green and so--we have blue and green jewelry, nota- bly the blue-green turquoise, which is also worn with black and white | ness for the little frock that meet | the line runs in such a way that |and with many of the prints that summer 'daytime needs. prepent rack upon rack of models | falling off, it is not good.

Then there are clever little' hat stands--one to a hat--that will set firmly on the shelves--all one's headwear in a row! There are shoe trees and shoe racks, and there are boxes of all shapes and sizes--many of them divided--to take care of everything else in the wardrobe. HE already famous fashion twins--Formality and Fem- ininity--have taken the world of dress by storm. No depart- ment has failed to feel their in- fluence, and it is not, therefore, at all surprising to find boudoir ap- parel and lingerie growing daily more fascinating and elaborate. Perhaps these garments are less effected, for they have always been feminine, yet there is an in- crease in that quality, this season. If, during the period of mannish styles, there was a tendency to- ward eliminating the negligee, hostess and tea gown, in favor of the pajama suit, then that ten- dency . has disappeared. Pajamas remain, but they are inclined to gorgeousness, along with the rest of the boudoir apparel that is of- fered. Satins and silks and brocades are used in their building, and they abound in fine details that make them exquisite. ' Practical boudoir garments find rayon an excelient fabric, for its appearance is deceptive and its colorings are beautiful. Moreover, it washes well, which makes pos- | shades of the sible the lighter fashionable colors. Garments in this material are offered in'a wide range of patterns, and at this sea- and | there are crystals that show all | son of the year, when there is no demand for warmth in the neg- Printed material are much in favor for robes in times. The fabric (itself may be chiffon, Georgette--elither silk or cotton, or voile, but the idea is the same. These materials drape well, and may be lined or unlined, the latter necessitating a slip that will har- monize and thus provide a correct foundation. Lace is a favorite trimming, or it may make the entire garment. It is not as work- able as the sheerer fabrics. There are many clever origina- tions in a variety of materials, among them the models that make use of crepe de chine. An espe- cially lovely negligee omits its sleeves and takes, instead, a cape of the crepe. This cape, the wide, shawl collar and the hem edge are all fringed. Preference is shown for the pastel tones--coral, Nile, French blue or turquoise. Pink, lavender, peach, rose and Copen blue are also favorites. When a slip is imperative, it is often made as a part of the tea gown. A crepe satin slip with in- serts of thread lace has an over- dress that 1s principally wing draperies of chiffon and the sam lace that trims the slip.

The responsibility must be shared, No matter how effect- ive her coiffure, how becoming her ghat, how appropriate the lines that Tht neckline, beads and earrings draw, 'if the color is not "her" color, the result is failure. The opposite is true, and there are more mistakes made with the first named group than with the latter detail, for we are less accustomed to considering them of importance. We know that certain fabrics become our individual bet- ter than others, and we have found | that certain shades of definite col- , ors bring out the color of the eyes, making them appear larger, or they bring a tinge of pink into the pale cheeks, or they soften the figure | | not the lipstick. And--the wise woman, who uses make-up cor- rectly, knows that effects are made or ruifhed with it. It is a common idea that the | blue-eyed woman should wear { blue, the brown-eyed woman brown, and the hazel-eyed woman, whose not, green. But this is say "can" wear, rather than "should" wear. Sometimes the mas terial that has a bluish cast, but is rated another definite color, is far better for the woman with blue eyes--our color card has changed. The woman who loves navy blue, for its smartness and practicality, but is rather sallow, will be amazed at what a red hat will do, or a touch of red on the frock itself. So it is not to be forgotten that color has much to do with framing the face, for, in a way, it regulates the color in the face. And the hat, rather more than the frock, can be depended upon to supply the color that is needed for a spe- cial purpose. And the {ine of the brim or crown of your hat can do much to soften the face, it can make it less angular or less round, as the' need may be, and the hat can add height or take away from it. Youth may return to a face no longer youth- ful, when it is properly framed beneath a becoming hat brim, but this does not, you will understand, give medi- pro- hosen "Col- m ne permicsion to shaogo COMED or unbe- | eyes become green more often than | not true, | except in a general way--we may | | t | | high color that nature paints and | al ho and PAT modern interpretation of mannish, in modern phraseology, out of | luck There some Jewelry, both earrings and necks laces, share in the responsibility, | when it comes to making a frame instances, for! for the face.
