Silk Is Leading Fabric Tkis Season National Adoption of Some Costume Derail Frequently Can Be Traced to Some Accidental Cause, 8 " -. r : v - - v t mm .i I in i .I. - - " " 1 ' Anne Rittenhoase (Cup'righrt, 19 J 5. tr McClnr Newspaper tsrmucatc.) ACtraiOUS study tor those inter ested In the history of costume, is 'widespread result of an accidental cause In the national adop tion of some detail of fashion, A'great king, for example, develops scalp trou ble and loses his hair, so every gentle man of his day shaves his-own locks and adopts a periwig to be In the movement. A. modern emperor has a defective left hand and wears a bracelet to aid Mm tn using table imnlements, and very young' ' officer ihis empire with ur trretenwlons or smartness, promptly puts a bracelet on his ownl left arm, A great orrtcer loses an arm. and the one sleeved jacket is assumed as the distinguishing mark of a Hussar forever after. Perhaps If w knew the real inside history of every radical change in the mode, we should find many queer rea sons, and quaint stories. The im mense vogue of silk this season Is said by the cognoscenti to be due to the fact that war has closed the woolen mills of northern France, while the more southerly silk factories are till turning out materials, and the production of the Italian mills is un interrupted. Whatever the reason, the fact Is un disputed and indisputable silk Is tri umphant. Though for a time it -seemed as tf the French supply were threatened, the makers have rallied their forces, and huge shipments are being exported to the American mar kets. Domestic silks are so much im proved of late years, that our choice Is truly a wide one. To start, in pedagogic fashion, from the general' and proceed to the partic ular, It may be said that the crisper silken fabrics are In the' lead and that the patterned Is trying hard to super sede the plain. All the designs and colorings are discreet. The Foiret colors and Martini' patterns are now only found In the occasional lining of "a neutral colored topcoat. Black and white combinations are simply legion, and stripes have imposed themselves upon everything, in these two par ticulars, indeed, It behooves the wo man who likes to be a bit exclusive In her dress, to be rather careful. Bevival of Grenadine. - Along with the crispy fabrics there Is a very noticeable revival of grena dine, and, above all. of voile, of which more anoi. Fabrics, of course, are the foundation of dress. The ques tion of wMch comes first the fabric or the fashion reminds one of that other hoary-headed interrogation which came first the hen or the egg? This season It seems as If the fabrics have It. and as there lives not the woman who does not fancy herself In silk, let usi rejoice in our blessings and buy ank gown. , among the! weaves, whether patterned or plain. Very charming are the new taffetas with small self colored fig ures, a stripe, a spot or a small flower hi several pastel colors appears upon a plain ground, like an old brocade, it seems made for a . flowing skirted, "tight-. bodiced, elbow sleeved gown, 'Tike the ones in which the redoubtable Charlotte continued cutting bread and ".butter. For street wear, the hair line stripe of white on a dark blue or black ground is very satisfactory. For evening the new pale shades are rav ishing even to read about primrose SHnk. - buttercup yellow, orchid laven--der -even the names are Irresistible. Newer than taffeta for evening gowns Is the gros de Londres, with its slightly ribbed surface, and Its sug- material. It is flexible and gathers well, bat there is a firmness about it which recalls the silk that would stand alone." The new -pussywillow taffetas are so soft and supple that one can real ly hardly tell them from silk-finished foulards. This admirable fabric comes ha an endless variety of design. Har lequin diamonds ahe pretty and new er than the checkerboard effects, which have grown so big and aggres- sive as to be better used now-a-Jaya for linings. There are Dresden flow ers for the youthful, and revival of polkadota of all sizes. Newest of all are the small all over conventional designs, like the uaper patterns seen in ancient ier-. siah miniatures and apparently ai-' ' ways a joy to the Oriental artist. Another serviceable weave, now rown more beautiful. Is surah, while "foulard la shown in dark, rich, flow- 4sery patterns, like ancient brocade, as different as possible from the nig- -gllng designs- that were . formerly used for this material. Both-of these silks are cool, ' light and not easily ' crushed, qualities which recommend ; them for daily wear in summer. .. , The newest thing in one-piece frocks is the coat-backed gown, which is Ideal lor "communing, - for the necessary . shopping expeditions, or for; a journey. ' Nothing - seems nicer for these trim looking frocks than silk serge, though a similar material called silk khaki by the makers is perhaps even better. In the "silent colors" of Rodier, these materials-are simply' incomparable for "hard wear. A silk khaki is now under "consideration for the new uniforms of By A GROUP OF IMPORTED PARASOLS ATTRACTIVE Jl i 8 1 r ' ,. w !.-... ;-- ---t.i .-.:,,..-::;...,,, ... - : - ':,.;...'.. 3." Evening frock: with flaring tunic, the British army. It costs more, but it wears better, and that quality is attractive to the. war office just now. When one considers that the finest yacht sails ana aeroplane wings are silken, one really feels like saying' "good for the silk worm." It is quite established that the so called "silks" have triumphed over the "satins. Satin Is decidedly out of it, and is seen only as an under dress for the ruffled skirts of tulle and net, which are woven with dainty taffeta bodices for afternoon gowns this season. Charm ens e, on the con trary, is still to be found occasional ly, and there Is even a new figured example, something like a kochee, which Is Very rich, but rather too ma ture for anyone but a grandmother. For the silk suit which finds a place today in the wardrobe of every smart woman, there is the lovely faille d'amonr, in both light and heavy- weights, and the silk poplin, each of these weaves to be found in a whole range of satisfactory colors. FRECKLES,HOWTO PREVENT THEM AND OTHER ILLS Tan, Inflammation and Streaked Tiair, Common During the Summer Months, May Be Avoided by Little Caje and Thoughtfulness. By A.B. ! KINDLY Old Sol is not always wel come in the kingdom of woman. Those who know hygiene to some degree understand that the blazing gentleman's beams are cures for many ills. On the other hand, there are the afflictions he casts upon the coquette, freckles, tan, inflammation, streaked hair and what not; so, weighing his faults against his virtues, with sum mer so- nearly on us, we may think with advantage on his disagreeable features. Let us begin with freckles, those tiny blemishes so disfiguring to a pretty' throat, face and hands. Ac cording to theory. It is not the sun which causes freckles, but the light from Its electrical rays; and It is the difference In ' the chemical make-up of 'their skins which causes these rays to affect some so much more seriously than others. So for these thin skinned fair ones the ounce of prevention is the first thing to con sider. Those who freckle easily should always fceep a red-brown veil on hand to wear on summer outings on land or water, for a veil In any other color is no use at all, this and this alone, being able to ward off the burning electrical rays. Then, before going forth, the easily freckled gkln should be well rubbed with cold cream and powdered, for with this mask and the plain chiffon or gauze veil shun the dotted one as you would a viper it la possible to get through a yachting or fishing' excursion without serious damage. ' Nevertheless, every night for all seasons of the year, the skin sus ceptible to freckles should be mas saged with a good cream,' for any exercise which helps to stimulate the skin also helps to avert or cure the blemish, whatever the nature. But if the ; freckle comes1 to stay with you. notwithstanding, precau tions, try this simple lotion, applying it several times a day with a soft linen rag: Lactic acid 4 ounces Glycerine 2 ounces Rose water i ounce .cuer ixower cream can be used to long in the backhand ehorjt in front. But the best suits of the season are made , of the Tussore, Shantung, "pongee, rajah weaves, which are to -be had this year in even greater va riety : than ever. Our increasing di rectness of communication with the far eastern markets is perhaps re sponsible for the influx of bolt upon bolt , of .real Chinese and Japanese Shantungs, which range in price all the way from a modest 60 cents to $5 theyard. A new name Is Pun jab, which seems to be partic ularly flexible pongee. Of recent origin. If not quite new, are the nat ural 'colored backgrounds with a hair .fine of brown, blue black, red or white, spaced at different Inter vals, ' ranging from close parallel lines to. single ones two inches apart. Glass toweling checks are also seen in these Triatrial s, sugges tive of sporting skirts to be i worn with a mannish while silk, patch pocketed blouse. A very oriental tou chis the application of these ma terials of a small geometrical figure advantage with this or any freckle specific containing the acid needed to bleach the skin. Here is the recipe for this beautifying unguent; Almond oil . ..' X ounces White wax ..... . -. - drams Spermaceti .- 6 drams Lanoline 1 ounce Oil of bitter almonds 1 dram Elder flower water ......... 3 ounces Witch hazel 1 ounce Tan and acute Inflammation of the skin are caused by the same influ ences that produce freckles, -the di rect exposture to sun. the reflection of lightl on water, the glare of a wide open window, hot winds, etc The cure for each begins, as before, with the 1 ounce of prevention. Wear the red-brown veil when jaunting on land or water, don't sit close to a wide open window unless the shade Is drawn down below the 'shoulders, and prepare the skin always with cold cream and powder -before going out. The first pain of sunburn . can be alleviated by bathing the face for 15 minutes with water as hot as it can be borne; this "to be followed by gen tle massage, rubbing with the elder flower cream, the cream from sweet milk, or applications of almond milk or vasceline. This will reduce the in flammation and lessen to some degree the brown that will settle upon the skin; but as the bleaching, is by no means sure it all depends upon the skin as soon as possible the face should be steamed and massaged with coldL cream, of a good sort. After this the freckle lotion already given may be used with benefit. Simpler home remedies for tan and also freckles are to wash the face in fresh buttermilk or in a horse radish lotion made as follows: Into a cup ful of sour milk scrape a teaspoonful of freshly dug and grated horse rad ish; let it stand six hours and then apply two or three times daily. Honey is also an excellent whittener, softener and refiner to the skin, and where no other medicaments can be had it may be used in a pure state as a first aid to a sunburned face, hands and throat, for the honeybee's store Is very Healing and softening:.

' The danger from the sun to the hair comes especially when It is soaked in sea water and then submitted to the full blasts of Old Sol, for the com bination of salt water and sun is noth ing if. not disastrous upon the hair. To banish the ugly streaking that ensues, and restore the hair to Its even and natural coloring. It Is necessary to shampoo the head with raw eggs and massage the scalp with olive oil, and this treatment will need to be continued for some weeks before the hair Is improved. Concerning any wetting of the head followed by sitting in the sun. it is. good for only a short period for after the hair has absorbed what benefit Is coming from the sun bath, a subtle bleaching, which may also result in streaks, will ensue, when the raw eggs and oil massage must again be called In to "relieve the damage. But If dry at the time of the sun bath the hair is often much Improved with the sunning and airing, for It would be ridiculous to claim that, under the right condi tions, the sun is anything but good for us. The benefits conferred by this di vine luxury are Indeed manifold, and pallid women and women with skin eruptions and .sour and thin hair can not hoard too carefully the beams that fall across their lives. But if they are considering their beauty they must Know wnen and when not to take the dose. If beauty is a secondarv matter and health is everything drink in all tne sun you can.

A.pril 28 (By mail, to New York) -CU. PO She's right there with the bang and the ruff these days. The short fringe of hair over her 'brow and the wide expanse of corrugated white muslin around her throat seem to be the two truly essential parts of a chic Parlslenne's toilette. It is auite the sam rm nifr with us a couple of seasons ago of vwv wain uiusun or Dauste.

As for buttons, well "Button, but driven out the nearly-universal white serge, although it is really too soon to tell whether American women will go back to their first love or -not A few costumes In white silk serge are shown, as a compromise perhaps; andI have seen an imported model of an one-piece grown in white' serge, combined with white butcher's linen. The skirt was of the woolen, and there was a bolero effect, very small in front, quite important in the back, laced across the bust with a cord' and big eyelet holes, and worn over a severe corsage of the linen. If woolen materials are used they are sure to be either. " serge, gaberdine, covert, or grosgraln cloth. Conditions in Europe point naturally to a stay-at-home; summer for the American woman, and she knows that she will not have much use for wool between now and September. In their silken materials crepe celeste is rather new. This Is a crinkly weave, with a white thread going one way and a colored one the other. .Grenadine Is to the fore ton,, who's . gpt the but tou" Is no kind of a game to play over here. Every body's got it. There's an epidemic of buttons. They spring out like a spring rash In the most rash places. You're buttoned up and you're buttoned down. You've simply got to be filthy with buttons or you can't hope to butt in as a smart young person. I even saw some round red ones' suspended on soutache braid loops dangling around the bottom of a suit case and on the edge of a short apron panel on the front of the skirt.1 Bullet buttons of amber, green, bright blue, gun metal, gold and silyer, oval, buttons in the same colors and round buttons with insets of a contrasting color are some of the most blatantly buttony buttons. , Oil Cloth scats tor Salny Days. The modistes have gone to their kitchen tables for inspiration and cov ered lovely woman on top with oil cloth. All the rainy days of April and May, the best heads have been crowned in chic little hats of ordi nary black and white oilcloth. A few In red, green or blue have bobbed about but the "noire et blanche" ef fects as in everything else have the majority. These practical little oil cloth chapeaux. defying alike - sun,' rain and dust, are the quaintessence of perfection for the motor mad maid. Isn't It funny how the stamp "im ported" is the stamp of approval without equal? Just as we in Amer ica strive to acquire a Paris bonnet or Paris gown and EngUscbr coat or an English accent so over here if it comes from that dear "Etates Unis" "Ma fois but it Is trea chive." Like In London the short vamp snub nosed little slippers and high shoes with their gay white, grey or biege tops are dubbed Amerlcaine and re ligiously believed to he modeled on our American lasts first, last and always. Then there are the signs on the smartest tailor shops "Roddy," "Ted dy" and "Jack de -New York." to say nothing of "High Life." which the French pronounce "II ig Leaf." Their pronunciation certainly makes It a de llclously apropos title for a clothing store since It only ' misses sounding like a fig leaf at the start off. The best Joke of all In the "Im ported" line is that those highly col ored and priced futuristic silks which we in . America have been wont to reverently designate as Martins and, Foiret. the Frenchiest of all France silks, are as reverently designated Satayama silks over here. They are believed to hail from Japan. Probably If you were to put an old sleuth on their shimmering train We would dis cover their habitat In the silk mills of Paters on. New Jersey. . They really ought to be Lyon silks. Oughtn't they? CARE OF UTENSILS The average cook in this country does not keep her pots and pans in first rate condition. In France And elsewhere where copper is used so ex tensively In manufacture,, of cooking utensils, and where pots and pans as a rule, therefore, are more expensive, the kitchen attitude is different. As the utensils are expected to last for many years, and as the exercise of proper care Is, the only way to make them last, they reeelve proper care. Here, however, - the attitude of both cook and housewife Is far from eco nomical. In the first place, too much cheap ware Is nsed ware that can not be expected to last; In the second place, proper care of utensils Is sel dom taught or Insisted trpon. This Js a great, mistake, from the viewpoint of both cleanliness .and economy. Thorough and immediate cleasing of every pan used should be a matter of course. A. v-.v ?. A . ...

An ex quisite novelty is black grenadine In Chant Illy lace patterns, which rivals the lace Itself In beauty. Their use over colored taffeta for summer eve ning coats Is suggested. and the ef fect Is sumptuous. But the thin sUTt material par ex cellence is voile. The Paris openings In February showed gowns and suits of It, but we were not very mueh Interested. In Paris Itself, It was adopted with enthusiasm, and many of the best houses, notably Cheruit. are using it lavishly. Now that Parts has taken the lead, as usual, we are beginning to see its value. A one piece gown of roll Is full of pos sibilities. It Is light. It is cool, it la chic It Is practically noncrushable, and quantities of material may be employed without bulkiness, the LITTLE THINGS THAT BRING BIG CHANGES IN STYLES SOME charming dance frocks for young girls are made of tulle of various colors or shades of the same color. The skirts are made with one. width of tulle In, for instance, deep rose, next to. a width of light pink. Then the tulle Is laid In big pleats or else is gathered full about the waist, and the result desired is obtained. Of course, in the folds and gathers, tulle of one shade overlaps that of another, producing very Interesting color effects. A frock. - of : the colons described showed the tulle bound at the bottom with t very narrow bias strip of flow ered silk in white and rose and gray. Selvages Stall Used. When dressmakers first began to leave "raw edges' (in reality, un hemmed selvages) there was a good deal of mild excitement among women who were Interested in clothes. But how the selvage Idea Is ah old one, and has proved itself one worth adopt ing permanently. v Selvages of silk and satin are1 still left unhemmed, where t is found more convenient to do this, and raw edges of tulle and net are even more common. In anything that sags as fine tulle does this method is especially ad vantageous, tor when the tulle sags, if It Is unhemmed, it can be trimmed with a sharp pair of scissors "to its original evenness. Black, and White. Women do not seem to tire of the black and white combinations ' in clothes. Some of the most Interesting they are thrust out of sight In an un tidy Jumble are not - conducive ' to cleanliness. If your kitchen is large enough, bang your pots and pans on the wall. But if you feel that, you must have them in a closet, do not pile them on shelves, on the floor, or in drawers. Let each one hang sep arately, on a nail by itself. The best way to keep the kitchen knives, is to tack on the wall, in some convenient place or near the sink or table, a long strip of narrow leather, with tacks driven in an inch or two apart to form pockets for the knives. If everything has its place and is In full view, the most untidy cook may be ashamed to hang up unclean uten sils, but when they are kept out of sight she will not scruple to neglect them. Moulds and baking -tins that cannot be hung up should have a space .to themselves. One wide shelf, placed so low that the top Is in full view and cannot collect dust without this show ing at a glance, will solve this prob lem.. . Hire are a few simple rules for the care of utensils: Tins should be well dried with a cloth before being put away, but enameled ware may be left to dry with out rubbing. Sieves never should be washed with soap, but cleansed with a brush, using a little soda. If necessary. Wood en ware 'should . not be placed near the fire to dry, as it will crack. .

Separate skirts are built of corduroy, golfine, and of cotton gabardine, be sides, of course, of linen.
