WHITE SATIN EVER POPULAR

Material Is Much Used for Facings, Collars and Cuffs; a Favorite With the Designers. White satin, so long a standby In women’s wardrobes, continues to be used to a great extent by the designers. There was a time, of course, when white satin was Iqpked upon as the fabric for a wedding gown—and nothing else. If a girl bought lengths of white satin and laid them away in her hope chest, and then decided not to marry, she wrapped the precious white fabric in blue paper and gave it tor some younger girt to lay hopefully away in her hope chest. But nowadays women have dlscov* ered In white satin a very serviceable and practical fabric. Its uses are many. And if, by chance, a girt today happens to, buy white satin ahead of time for her wedding frock, she promptly cuts It up into collars und cuffs and facings and skirts, and then is married in chiffon or Georgette. In many of the best of the new black satin frocks white satin facings are shown to very good advantage.
