Silks Stiffen In Texture

NEW YORK, June B.—(U.PJ—From the sheer not to say diaphanous material** of eorly summer to a stiffer elegance in silks is the prediction tor autumn, and for that matter for mid-summer. Even now stiff silks are conBidered as the newest and most Interesting for evening wear, bringing in thick materials as a direct contrast to the transparent chiffone, tulles, georgette’ and laces which have become popular favorites. Not only are the plain and warptprinied taffetas, poult de sole and moires of last year re-

endorsed but stiffer yarn-dyed fallen gre advanced. Faille, incidentally, is the basis for the newes moire which tends away from the so i satin-backed variety to the richer one of stiffer character. Additional decorations of jacquard, warp-printed, and broche silk and metal motifs heighten the novelty interest of these stiff fabrics and help to accent their exclusive nature, since they cannot be reproduced cheaply. In delineating the trend toward B tiff silks, other factors which are pointing in this direction must not be overlooked. Duches and Lyon satin are being continued and the very lustrous, slightly etiff satins, such as Lunasol, in plain and jacquard weaves. Stiffened, starched or crinoline chiffons and mousseline de sole likewise remain in the everfing fabric list, offering a sheer crisp medium which has the lightness of tulle and since it is capable of circular cuts and drapes achieves an engaging frivolous quality that is sometimes relief from the demure or statuesque qualities of other stiff silks. Some of the uewest chiffons, mousselines de soie aud lame gauzes are given a cire finish which provides them not only with a surface glitter but with a certain stiff texture.
