terial for suits, separate coats and
wraps, evening gowns, afternoon toi
lettes and above everything hats, cap
ping a velvety climax.
Already coming velvets cast their
shadows above and many fashionable
feather brains are abroiling under
August suns and hats of velvet. Black
velvet tarns, draped turbans of vivid
cerise, emerald green or royal purple
velvet, usually adorned with a silken
tassel, and large broad brimmed vel
vet shapes in black, wine or purple
velvet are the most ubiquitous. Straws
no longer show which way the fash
ionable whims go it's the velvet lid
that's on.
As for the gowns and suits and
wraps of velvet the advance models
now being shown certainly have much
in the way of beauty to offer as m
extenuation of their flying in the face
of conservation and economy in war
times. Dye shortage seems to have
no power to dim their gorgeous hues,
nor the divergence of facile fingers
to knitting, bandage rolling, canning,
gardening and munition making to
have lessened tho hnnd embroidery
with' which they are adorned.
iSmr.rt and eurming little trotteur
suits hnvo short box coats of velevt,
preferably black, and short rather
tight plain skirts either of the samo
or of check, striped or plaid serge.
White satin waistcoats buttoned up
high and mannishly complete a de
cidedly swagger outfit. Now that all
our best boys are in khaki it adds a
bit of relief to see our best girls in
such erstwhile masculine toggery.
The wonderful and colorful velvet
wraps of last season will again en
swathe your shoulders this year, col
lared and cuffed deep in fur and
lined in exotically hued satins. Loose
separate street coats with fur collars,
cuffs and deep fur bands around
their hems in the more somber tones
of gunmetal, black tete de nigre. Rus
sian green and navy will vie with the
garments of all fur.
Even in negligees and tea gowns
velvet will play its rognl part and
loose material of pastel tinted velvet
over inner robes of flnunced lace will
hrighten many a hearth and homo.
Long loose Turkish coats of velvets,
in Oriental colors, caught in wtMi
cords and tassels of silver or gold and
worn with full Turkish trousers of
; black satin will keep many a tired
business man nt home nights.
I Gleams of metallic embroidery are

again lightening up the sartorial out
look and metallic laces and materials
of all sorts are to be used in con
junction with the velvets. Velvet
suits and wraps are gay with metal
'embroidery, ornaments and buttons
.and the afternoon frocks show pockets,
yokes and cuffs picked put with silver
1 threads among the gold.
The more formal evening gowns ;
have ankle length skirts of velvet with i
trains of the same. A small draping i
of velvet may be allowed up a short j
way on the side of the bodice but or- j

or what is alleged to be a bodice, al- i
though there hardly seems enough of ,
it to warrant a regular name, is of '
gold or silver lace or metallic net j
Cascades of the wide metallic lace or
flounces of it often form the ankle j
length skirt entirely so that only an
overdrape and the inevitable train is i
of the lustrous velvet.
It is said that the manufacturers of j
metallic fabrics and ornaments have ;
been forced to seek the scrap heaps of j
the munition plants for the bits of j
metal scrapings and filings of the big I
shells for the where-with-all to supply j
the insatiable demand of Fashion.
"There's more than one way of . going
to the front," philosophically cogitatis
a bit of brass filing that has come off
a shell emtrate to somewhere in
France as it is picked up from the
scrap heap and converted into part of
a gold lace apron for the front of a j
debutante's dancing frock. It is hardly j
a comfortable thought though that
sister particles of those gleaming in ,
the meshes of golden lace that cover
Beauty's satiny flesh at the ball may
be gleaming in fragments of Brav
ery s tortured, torn ana Dioooy iiesn
at the battle.
At any rate there is also a com
forting thought as well which goes
with this close mettalurgic bond be
tween munitions and fashions. The
same stuff that shells and laces are
made of will make both Beauty's and
Bravery's conquests complete and vic
torious.
