Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 230, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 October 1917 — Mohair Is Favored. [ARTICLE]

Mohair Is Favored.

Among the new dress fabrics for autumn serge and mohair stand out prominently. Mohair in particular seems to be enjoying a favor unprecedented. There is an English mixture of mohair with wool threads that is both beautiful and distinctive in texture and quality. The material has a handsome sheen and possesses excellent draping qualities. It comes also in very desirable shad es. Broa dclot h will be used for formal tailor-mades, but is not so popular for frocks, unless combined with satin. All frocks must suggest softness of lines now. and while broadcloth is rich and distinguished, it has a more or less heavy suggestion not compatible with indoor modes for this year.
