FASHION'S PHASES MODES TEND MORE TOWARD LUXURY AND EXTRAVAGANCE Only Hope of the Woman of Moder ate Means Is That the Manufactur ers Will Duplicate the Elements of Costly Fabrics in Inexpensive Ma terials. New York, Doc. 29. Of course everyone Is making Now Year rcso- lutlons. One penitent New Yorker has Just told me that her most heroic rcsolvo Is to spend less money on dreas this jear than last. Now this certain somebody has either not seen the new spring styles which are beginnlg to bloom forth In the shops or she has decided not to live up to her reputation of being the Dest-ciressed woman In New York. It would bo malicious to say that she Is not going to keep that resolve. "Why, do you know," she admitted, "that last year I spent exactly $15,000 on clothes!" The woman who lives up to the re quirements or fashion this year will spend no less. This Is poor consola tion for the sister whose nlways scant dress allowance Is even more pinched nowodays by the increased prices of living necessities, but It Is neverthe less a fact that the modes tend more and more toward luxury and oxtrava gnnce. The one dim ray of hope that Is neia out to those who connot spend fortunes on dress Is the fact that each year manufacturers become more ex perts In duplicating the elements of costly fabrics In Inexpensive materi als. The advance spring fashions do not snow anything startlinc as vet for It is too soon for anything ile- ciaea in miner designs, materials or trimming In every thing that is shown, however, there is Infinite chic, combined with grace. Return of Crepon. Crepe effects promise to be In greater favor for street wear. There Is .even a promise of the return of cre pon. This Is shown only In black and Is limited to the separate skirt in In stances where a back satin or lus trous silk would be inapronos. Many of the fabrics of two or three seasons past are interwoven with crepe in some way and given fashion- aoie names. A pretty conceit Is in what used to be known as bunting. Through this runs a hair-line of crin kled crepe with silk finish, making the material admirably suited to af ternoon wear. It is known as Alsa tlon nun's veiling and comes in a va riety pf naw colorings the prettiest of V?!neh. !s the new oyster gray. , A bodice In this goods Is tucked at the back and allowed to fall in blouse effect at the front. There Is a vest of chiffon laid In groups of tiny tucks, which are alternated with real Val enciennes lace. Arranged over the shoulders, back and front. Is an ap plique of cream gulpre to form a scal- jopea yoKe and the gulpre is deep i-uuugu io nave me collar cut in the same piece. The sleeves are tucked and close-fitting, almost to the wrist. Here, however, a slight fullness ap- jcaa, saiuerea into a wrist or oyster gray taffeta overlaid with lace in sertion. -.A charming bit of contrasting color Is Introduced In a piping of burnt orange velvet around the edge of the .collar, with a rosette of two shades of the same coior, fastened upon thel front of the bodice, ' Etamlne or Spring. Etamlne, whose natural elegance Is always enhanced by a lustrous silk lining wll be one of the smart fabrics s of spring. Artistic combinations In I g uiua over gren miu vice versa are i shown, associated with cream lace, and quaint -fOrleatai embroideries. Sometimes the embroidery Is substi tuted by bands of silk or satin stitched in fanciful shapes, but the lace Is ever-annarent. In tact thoro win im a very few gowns this year which dol jl uuw met as we cwei aecorauvei ss feature. ! & A smart looking etamlne frock in blue has the skirt bordered -with three bands of petie gris, the coat taking the form of a crossover pelerine, cope-like on the shoulders and form ing a little butterfly bow basque be hind, revealing an underbodlce of silk of a shade rather lighter than the cloth. Completing this costume Is a very large bluo hat trimmed with black ostrich plumes and lace. Something of a reversion Is shown in the man ner of arranging feathers on hats this season. All of the smartest designs have the plumes fastened fastened under the brim, leaving tho top of the hat to be converted intp a miniature field of wild flowers of a tiny fruit or chard. An Incongruous combination it Is, this mingling of fruit and feath ers or flowers and feathers, but the result Is unquestionable and that suffices. Walking Costumes. The popular love for sports among numeu is eviuencea just now in the attendance at the skating rinks where the ico Is 12 Inches thick and the mermometer 65 degrees above zero. The costumes worn are especially 'in- lereouuK. mown, green, red and rich navy nine are tho colore most oln served, iiareiy does a black design appear. Tho styles are so smart that Jhey can easily be adapted ""to walk ing costumes In climates -whero skat ing Is not permissible, or where It is not admired. The Jacket Is an Eton, elaborately strapped, or a Ilusslan blouse. The favorite make of the skirt Is that with the tight-fitting shaped cmplecement nround the hips, with the skirt set Into It In narrow knife-plaited foldB, four or five Inches off the ground, for such a skirt has a pretty outward swing with tho rapid movement. There is a cabled rumor hero to the effect that the short skirt Is not held In high favor In Iarls the place of Its origin. Tho reason 'for this seem ingly sudden withdrawal of approval of I'arlslennes Is that the short skirt robs my" lady of an opportunity In showing how gracefully she can han dle her skirt nnd. Incidentally, spoils the idlsplay of the pretty petticoat, which is a shine qua non of every French wardrobe. However this may be, the short skirt Is unquestionably a serviceable garment, possessing sanitary ndvan tnges to which Its trailing rival has no claim whatever. Late Importations. Some very pretty French piques, chambrays and canvasses are shown among the new wash materidls. Yet the latter can hardly be classed among tho fabrics that must make the ac quaintance of the laundress, for thoy display painted motifs which either taken tho form of dainty little roses, mingling with stars worked in ribbon, and where the canvass Is used as a trimming, one finds n turquoise hero and there to give force to the pattorn. Spider-web organdies, gauzes and muslins are draped upon forms nnd shown with appliques of white (low ers at Intervals, made with satin cloth, blended with tinsel nnd plain cloth. Some of tho latest Importa tions In trimmings arc cut In deep Vandykes, worked in multicolored cross-stitch and there are many waved borderlngR of glace and tinsel, worked" In light blues nnd pinks nnd In styles In harmony with tho rtew art and quaint Egyptinn colorings. It is predicted that the long coat will bo entirely eliminated from siiring fashions. The present voguo Is for a basque effect with something of an elaborated postillion effect at the back. Nothing Is smortor for tho woman who Is slender and graceful. What provision will bo made for the sister moro generously endowed by nature remains to bo sen. MAUDES ORIFFIN.
