The Agreeable swish of Silk.

There is no denying the luxuriously Impressive effect of a soft frouTfrou of silk In a woman’s garments. She may be quite simply dressed, an unobtrusive little figure sitting meekly In a corner of the room —let her rise and walk across the floor with a delicious suggestion of rustling silk following her movements. The severely made gown will take on the contours of a Paquin model. When several years fashion's stern decree substituted the soft mesaalines for the noisy taffeta underskirts deep was the chagrin therein. But at an exhibition of this spring's styles at a fashionable dressmaker's, one of the models created a pleasurable sensation by filling the room with the agreeable swish of taffeta silk.
