MM Tulle-Mad Paris Wears Scarves, Hats, Corsage Bouquets and Muffs of This Fairy Fabric. LADY DUFFvGORDON, Ac famous "Lucile" of London, and foremost creator of fashions in the world, writes each week the fashion article for ' this newspaper, presenting all that is newest and best in styles for well-dressed women. Lady Duff-Gordon's Paris establishment brings her into close touch with that centre of fashion. Lady Duff-Gordon' American establishment is at Noi. 37 and 39 West Fifty-seventh street, New York. trace the beginnings of those particular costumos. Notice the laco tunic, for Instance, combined with reao satin. Tho tunic, edged with a very now chic flounce, Is of black chantllly lace. Tho shaping at the top of tho bodtco Is moat offectivo. Jew cllod bands hold this In place over the shoulders. The high walatod effect given by tho crushed gtrdlo Is In keeping with tho design of the costume and with the figure of tho wearer. I do like the big satin roso that is tucked Into tho front of tho girdle. This is the new way to wear flowers and the only place that will bo nannisslblo this Winter. Tho light effect given by tho tulle scarf Is fascinating and' it also gives' graco to the whole costume. A laco or chiffon scarf worn Instead would bo too heavy and do- cidodly "out of tho plotura." Another scarf that la most satisfac torily in the picture la the hat worn with the cerise cbarmeuse crepe and the net lace. 'The mesh of th! lace skirt, which, by the way, Is fulled Aver a cerise drop skirt. Is as fine as tulle. The bertha which distinguishes the bodice is rapidly grow ing in -favor. The scarf worn here is it delightful rose tulle affair.' This Chantiily Lace Tunic and Tulle Scarf Make This Cottuintt a Thing, of Beauty. -4 Lady Constance Stewart Richardson on o Aiqulrt a Beautiful Through Dancing. u Cerise TuHe Forms the Frame for This Dinner Costume of Cerise Crepe and Lace. By Lady Duff-Gordon ("Lucile"). IT was Mollere, I think, who said that a woman's reputa tion was as fragile as tulle and as easily damaged. Ho might also have said that many women find it an ex pensive matter to keep up their supply of both these fragile commodities. I thought of this expression of tho great French dramatist tho other daywhen I dropped in at a very pri vate "opening," an opening, by the way, from which the general public was jealously barred. As I glanced at these delightful creations my first thought was that the well-dressed woman this Winter would bo wearing noth ing much more than a wjsp of tulle and a frightened smile after candles are lit. "Oul," said the artiste to whom 1 made this remark "Oul; the lady of the Winter must wear tulle in some fashion a scarf, 0 corsage ornament or a drapery. What else she wears will not matter, but the tulle she must have." Before describing to you the fascinating costumes that I saw 1 must speak more of this delightful, misty fabric and its uses. It is not a cheap wear, In spite of the fact that it can be had for twenty-five cents a yard In your money. Its expenslveness lies in the fact that it must ever be fresh and crhp. It can seldom be worn the second time, and when used as a drapery or a scarf sev eral yards are needed. A hat of this delicate, fairy-like materia! will have to be remade searly every time that it Is worn. But I1 know only too well that in spite of my warning nine out ten girls will be going tulle mad this season, j There is nothing more delicious than a ucarf of cobwebby tulle draped carelessly across the shoulders. It is fluffy, yet trans parent; It frames the face end shrouds the shoulders most plquantly, and Just between ourselves such a scarf takes ten years from a woman's appearance and creates a feeling of mystery. ( With the use of tulle there is a perfectly natural tendency to continue the ubo of lace. These two fabrics if lace can be called fabric blend charmingly. Both are as light as air, and both are never used to better advantage than when combined in an renlnfe costume. Of tulle hats I have already written; therefore will say nothing more. of them this week. But there are elgns that point to a re vival of the lace hat, a perfectly logical outcome of the' fragilo tulle hat, I think.
