SILK !repe is indeed a temperamental fabric. It lends itself to the gay
elSn mood of morning; it holds forth inspiration for the lavish embroidery
that marks the afternoon or dinner gown ; then it takes a complete change
of heart when it fashions itself into an evening cloak or forms the background
of a fetching little turban.
But crepe has its own variety of weave to suit its mood. It takes its finer
texture to the social affair of evening and leaves to the morning frock and t
the evening cloak an entirely different pattern.
The morning frock shown to-day is of crepe georgette, printed in smaE
design and trimmed with, sash and bindings of the dominant color.
Exotic in character is this striking afternoon gown of silk canton crepe
with embroidered blouse and trailing streamer sleeves. The bodice affects
the new low waistline, Mousing slightly above the girdle and
clinging closely to the hips where it joins the skirt. Streamer
fileeves will mark the more formal 'gowns of Kail, and who
can deny their charm when they accent the "harmony of the
trailing panels that deck jthe skirt so gracefully t
The theatre" cloak milady throws gracefully about her.
'shoulders to conceal the silk gown beneath as she steps from
her car takes for its f avorite fabric one of the varieties of
crepe. It selects a heavier weave, almost like a silk canvas
or twill, yet called crepe, to suit this temperamental fabric's
desire for. recognition.
Note, if you will, the new neckline offered. It rolls into
two charming collars to ward off chill breezes when drawn
close to the throat. Panels of self-material fall gracefully
from the shoulders and turn a rosy surface to the world.
For, you will see, tiny rosebuds dot the panels here and
there and offer a becoming novelty to the simple cloak of
silk crepe.
The chic little turban is covered with silk crepe de china
and embroidered in points across the brimX The pointed
crown, in keeping with the design, is made up of four tri
angular pieces, stitched together, and lavishly embroidered
in an all-over pattern.
Another smart use of silk crepe will be seen in the- over-'
blouse Worn with the Jfodl suit. These gaily , embroidered
blouses drop to a lowered waistline and serve to convert the,
regulation suit into the modish three-piece costume.. '
