CORDUROY KIMONOS ARE NEW

Warm Japanese .-Style of Garment Promises to Be in High Favor During Winter Season. Some new kimonos shown in some of the shops are a strange combination of style and fabric. They are Japanese kimonos made of corduroy, That in itself seems an anomaly. But when you come to think of it, wouldn’t they be .delightfully comfortable; Think of wrapping one of them around you some cold winter morning when the necessary restrictions in coal make the thermometer lower than comfort calls for. That Is probably what their makers thought of. • And so, although kimono of blue and rose corduroy embroidered with silk chrysanthemums seem a bit of a strange combination and contrast, still they are a delightful concession to the cold that is coming. They cost twenty-odd dollars.
