DRESSES NOW MADE OF KID

Whole Sport Outfits Made of the Material and Some Have Leather Ornamentation. The increasing use of kid and other soft leathers for the making and trimming of Women’s garments is bringing up the question here as to what effect it will have on other lines. Latest fashion reports from Deauville say .that whole sport dresses made of colored kid were worn at the recent races there, * and the Paris cables tell of leather dewdabs on many of the new frocks, says the New, York Times. In view of the reported general scarcity of kid, which there is no reason to doubt, the question has arisen as to just what effect this vogue will have on the supply available for the glove and shoe trades. It is also asked if the use of colored outer garments of kid will bring about a revival of the vari-colored kid shoes that were so much in vogue here a few years ago, and also serve to increase the color ranges of kid glove offerings in the near future.
