GOLDEN GOWNS THE FASHION

Abundance of Yellow Metal in Women’s Fabrics Foreconsequence of King George’s Coronation. Gold is employed lavishly In several gowns that have been made recently for Mrs. Orme Wilson, tissues and threads of gold, bosses of gold, borders of gold. Mrs. Wilson has stolen a march on her rivals for social supremacy, and is In advance of the fashion, for the abundance of the yellow metal in women’s this year is a foreconseqnence of King George’s coronation. Indeed, gold it to he used even in the manufacture of materials for summer frocks. A leading man dressmaker says: “It Is to be a great year for dress. Everything will be costly. It would seem that velvet on a ground of chiffon or nlnon would be too heavy for summer wear, but this will not be the case, for It is being made so light as to almost look like a shimmer of satin. All clothes will be of wonderful colorings and pompadour designs. Brocade cloths of gold win have large pompadour patterns embroidered In many colors, which, of course, must harmonize, as do different colored flowers In a bouquet. A kind of mustard shade Is to be worn for evening cloaks, woven with gold threads. The color of the year undoubtedly will be a radish-red —that Is, a shade between red and petunia. All empire styles will be in vogue, and gowns draped with chiffon will no longer-have the tunic effect, as the chiffon folds extend almost to the hem.”
