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.

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.
Whether you realise U or not, fashion Is always logloal, al
ways the outgrowth of something that went before.
