Fashion Demands Graceful Lines
Printed Velvet Fought for Popularity
* * ★ ★ * * *
SOME STYLISTS SAID IT COULDN’T BE SMART—OTHERS, THAT ITS USES WERE
LIMITED—NOW IT S ONE OF SEASON’S BEST MATERIALS
JJRINTED velvet has been the
cause of much style contro-
versy. Some arbiters said it
never could be as smart as plain
fabric. Others, that it was much
smarter, but limited in its uses.
But printed velvet has ignored all
this comment, gone its own way
and come out far ahead of all pre-
dictions.
Used Extensively
For this material not only is
tremendously smart. It is being
used for all styles and for all oc-
casions. There are blouses for
plain suits, printed suits with
plain blouses, printed frocks and
wraps and whole ensembles of
printed velvet.
The small figures are the best,
since they are somewhat more ele-
gant looking and fit In better with
a formal, subdued, lady-like sea-
son of attire.
And the figures which are more
or less conventional in design are,
perhaps, somewhat smarter than
the floral patterns. Dots, dashes,
geometric arrangements and in-
visible designs are excellent.
Paris has a way of using plain
velvet for the coat and a printed
velvet for the frock under it to
create lovely ensembles that are
both practical and beautiful.
Cut Is Unusual
Such a one is a Jean Patou
model (left), with bottle green
velvet fashioning the fitted and
flared coat and black fox banding
it at flounce height, cuffs and col-
lar.
Several shades of green work
out an intricate little double dot
and check pattern on a gold back-
ground for the velvet frock under
the coat. This little frock Is beau-
tifully cut. It looks like a
straight line dress but it has a
circular skirt with Its fullness
pleated across the front. A nat-
ural waistline gives a charmingly
youthful note to the ensemble.

wore, recently. It is of a deep
wlsieria shade, with cream and
tan irregular dots in it. A cir-
cular skirt and a three-quarters
soft little jacket, belted at the
waistline, are prominent features.
With it she wears a cream geor-

double fox fur, In blond.
Some new lingerie makes use
of printed velvet in a charming
way. Alencon lace Is used for the
yoke and the trimming of little
short panties and bandeaux fash-
ioned of very sheer, very lustrous
velvet in white with sprigs ot
little flowers on it.
Of course printed velvet is love-
ly for all lounging attire. Here
floral patterns are much better
than conventional designs. Eve-

where floral designs take prece-

gY HARRIET
[O smart costume this season
takes a sharp turn where a
rounding one will do. In fact, all
the points and sharp edges of the
very severe styles of the last few
seasons have been worn of’ com-
pletely
The styles ot today borrow tlie
idea of tlie old saying “A soft an-
swer turneth away wrath."
All this, of course, has its ef-
fect on women. It is natural for
a woman with a sleek, boyish hob
and short, straightline clothes to
be extremely straigliforward, even
blunt.
Dress the same woman up in a
gently molded gown, with soft
velvet, lace and ribbons to deco-
rate it and lines that are grace-
ful. any way you take them, and
she will inevitably soften her
manner. Clothes, verily, make the
lady!
The use of very soft fabrics,
therefore, is quite consistent with
this new theme of style, lady-
clothes.
One of the sweetest of the new
lady-frocks for the younger lady
is the finely polka-dotted blue vel-
vet frock, shown at the left.
It has three little dots in one,
in pale blue, gold and a soft red,
making a very small dot all to-
gether.
This is an example of how the
new modes turn rounding, grace-
ful corners nowadays. The neck-
line is extremely graceful and
flattering. For, filling in the
rounding neck Is a little bias fold
of pale blue organdie, with a crisp
little organdie bow slipping
through a slit at the corner of the
neckline.
The rather snug fitting sleeves
have charming puffs of their own
material, just above a snug wrist-
hand. Ynd the lull skirt joins the
waist in a slanting, curving line,
with a little friil of the goods
making a diminutive pepluni over
the full skirt.
The sports coat, even, lias its
own way of Interpreting the edict
for softer lines.

pockets, only larger, decorate the
sides ot the coat.
This is a very neat model, and
yet It has a certain lady-like grace
and softness about it that the lit-
tle travel coat ot last year lacked.
This tendency towards ' curved

ners to their triangular Rhapes,
have their ends curved. Cardigan
jackets and even cocktail jackets
