E HAVE had Oriental fabrics and cut of gar ments many months, and yet the' Eastern note persists more strongly than ever, at the moment, and promises to reveal many more surprises as the spring fashions burst forth. Bold color conftbinations, and daring uses of filmy fa- ~ brics with velvet and even fur, we take for granted as not too strange for our individual liking, provided eacly of us does her own choosing.
