Some beautiful 'French silks are shown in solid colors with gold and silver medallions scattered over the surface. They are unusual. Some ; American silks have followed them in designs, and while the quality is excellent the designs are not so | carefully or perfectly wrought as those in the French silks. This fact is attributed by experienced buyers to American haste, which wishes t. produce quickly and in quantity, tc capture ready dollars, rather than « nroceed slowly turning out fewer yards a day"and working for perfec- tion in design. When the American 2ud French silks are spread out side by side even the uninitiated can s e where the fault lies. As American manufdcturers have proven that they can equal any foul- ard or printed silk made in the world, it should take them only a short time to secure and create as beautiful novelty silks as have ever been manufactured in France. This is certainly going to be a brilliantly colored fashion winter, and one can- not go am in sklecting any of the new fabrics. They may seem a bit striking on first acquaintance, but the wearer will not be alone in her ! glory for they are already popular. THE TREATMENT OF WINDOWS The treatment of the windows ei- ther makes or mars a room And the secret of making the room con- sists not only in selecting the right materials but in arranging the dra- peries properly Al one time fash- ion demanded that all draperies, heavy or light, be drawn away from the sash in such a manner as to fall in a deep festoon Then the reac- tion came and only straight hanging draperies were considered good taste. At present window draperies may | either be draped, restooned or hung straight. It all depends on the type of the room to be treated. This freedom of hanging together with the profuse amount of color forms the chief contrast between window draperies of this season and the past In all the new fabrics intended for window draperies, excepting the handsome lace curtains, there is at least a touch of color, Many of these fabrics, expensive and inexpensive, have elaborate allover patterns in se- | veral colors, When using such mater- ials care should be taken to select | that which matches or harmonizes with the walls of the room. It is also well to remember the use of the room, Whether it is a library, bed: room or dining-room: also the loca- tion of the room. North and east rooms require warm colors to keep | them cheerful, while those with a | southern or a western exposure need | cooler tones. For rooms of ordinary size simpli- | city is the safe rule to be observed. | Where a room is not only wide but | long, with high ceiling, the festoon manner of fastening back the over- | draperies can be made very effective. | In smaller apartments the effect gives | the impression of "'fussiness'" which lis the opposite of the note of rest- ! fulness that should be aimed at. At present cretonnes to match the dsed in bed rooms. The same cretonne be- ling used for bedspreads chair cush ions and even for covers and mats for the dressing table and reading | stand. Such curtains should hang to the sill or not more than four in- ches below. Other bright colored | materials suited to bedroom windows are of cotton or linen with colored colored These materials can be all bought by the | yard and many of thém at a cost of a few cents a yard. Similar curtains, more individual and expensive, are woven the re- quired length with the bordér ex- tending across the bottom as well as down the sides. Black and white ef- | fects in checker-board style and in stripes are among the newest cur- tain fabrics. Thesé have the advan- | tage of harmonizing with almost any bright wall covering. The Dutch valance is a popular treatment for bedroom windows. This may consist of a valance of the | same material hanging between the { curtains and on the same rod or it | may extend across the window and be hung on a separate rod. These valances may be shirred or box plait- | ed, according to whether the mater- | ial is thin or thick. Where the pri- | viiey of {curtain is needed there should be {two sets of brackets and at least two sometimes three, sets of rods. | Where the outer draperies and the | valance are of a figured material a | charming effect may be obtained by | having. the sash curtains of met or | thin muslin with a border in corres- | pending colors. Another combination | that is popular shows sash curtains of thin muslin with small colored fig- ures harmonizing with the border of thé outer draperies. Collars.

Cotton or silk back, colored and black, with or without fur, for coats, for hats, for evening gowns, for street saits, it is used. It is the ace of trumps in the game of fabrics and fashions. Each French designer has worked out some pét idea through this ma- terial. This is not cheerful news, especially when velveteen or cotton- backed velvet is fashionable. Un- less it is unusually good, it is a fab- ric that shows its cheapness quickly, and there are few women who will give it up the moment it begins to show its cotton threads: They have put as much money into it as a wor- sted suit would have cost them, and they feel it is to much to ask to dis- card it before it has given half its value in service. Therefore, we are greeted by the sight of dozens of wrinkled and shabby coat suits from which 'no spotless finery of blouse and hat will take "'the curse." So be warned in time. Think more than twice before buying a suit or one-piece frock that is not made of the best velvet. The revival of duvetyn and its sis- ter, velour, will save us, probably, from an avalanche of inferior velvet, as both of these materials are now serviceable, although each has had its bad days. Recently they have been improved, and the dressmakers insist that their wearing qualities are of the best. It is said that the French design- ers brought out velvet as the leading fabric for this season because it gave them an excuse to use more fur, but the real reason is that all the mate- rials we will'use this winter lies with France's dearth of fabrics and her snatching the kind which she could get in the largest quantity. It is said over here that our dress- makers are quite enchanted over the universal fashion for using velvet so commonly, especially heaped with peltry as it is, for it allows them the excuse to raise the prices of gowns. Paris did this, on the basis that all materials were difficult to get. Noth- ing is cheap over there now in the realm of clothes, and the woman of average income fears that the exam- ple of Paris will be followed over here. The lavish use of velvet and fur forms the dressmaker's first ex- cuse. One fact ® comforting under such threatened disaster--the excellence of inexpensive, ready-to-wear clothes that the shops offer in abundance. No woman is barred from wearing the last thing in fashion, because of lack of money. She also has the comforting knowledge that she can afford to discard the suit when the fashions change by reason of the rea- sonable amount of money invested. The sketch to-day gives a clear idea of what a majority of the new velvet suits look like. It was made by Martial et Armand, is highly approved here The ma- terial is velvet, the color deep brown, the collar and the belt of er- mine, a fur which has been revived with all the other "old-timers." The the ornamental silk cords which swing from the wide belt But the shape of that collar is the important thing It is startling. It is joined to a yoke of ermine and comes near enveloping the head.
