J
COMBINATIONS OF FABRIC
AND COLOR ARE STYLISH
tainly is very much present in
the present scheme of things in
fr.shion. Mysterious as its mean
ing may be to the uninitiated, it
is quite simply translated, and
accurately too, by the English
.word “ combination.”
Combinations are a very strong
note in Spring fashions. - Two
contrasting colors may be em-
plpyed in a dress; two, three or
four shades of the same color us
ed In a costume is another var
iant of the compose theme; while
two different fabrics or the dull
and lustrous side of the same
fabric are also classed under
the heading compose, although in
this instance no color combination
is used.
Last year the tendency toward
this trend was noted in the use of
a darker shade as collar or bord-
er, but the true compose cos
tume of this season is not con
tent to let one shade dominate
the ensemble— no, each member
qf the partnership has equal or
nearly equal shares. Blouse of
one color or fabric and skirt of
another is about thq most equit
able division that can be obtained,
and quite popular too.
Besides
the French grammar, one must
needs resort to the geometry text
book of one’s schooldays. TSiat
is, if one expects to design a dress,
Diagonal insets, chevrbns, intri
cate curved seamings, all are
smart and necessary.
Broad
stripes or bands also enter the
picture. It goes without saying,
of course, that this is but anoth
er aspect of the combination
theme. The Insets or stripes may
be of a darker hue of the same
color, or in the case of orepe satin
they are of the lustrous face of
the fabric, while the balance of
the dress is of the dull side.

Speaking of satin— well, speak
ing of It is quite worth while. For
there |s a great deal of it being
used, much more than is usual
ly customary in spring. This ap
plies to true satin, as well as to
crepe satin, which is used “ in
side out and outside in” as pre
viously discussed.
The heavy silk crepe»— flat
crepe and crepe de chine— are the
old standbys which we never de
sert. Several domestic mills have
recently brought out a flat crepe

the yard, of course, as well as in
dresses all ready to don. Of
course, in order to waq)i, the dress
must be of simple styling and
avoid the use of fine pleating.

the ipark o f the Orient quite
plainly.

The rather unbecoming, man- J
nish type of suit with inside shirt
and separate trunks has been
superseded this year, largely be
cause of its tendency to accentu

we find trunks attached to a
tunic, both of jersey. The trunks t
usually extend to the knee, while
the tunic is of hip length. Al- 1
