he continued, ''bus now they walk out ut

WHAT TO WEAR. |,
Mark Twain says that if one wish1 to
do well in the music business, one u ust
have u top note; ard in like mann
would remark that if one wishes to acebm-
plish n genuine success in the fas4i
business, onu must wear beads. Let hem
sparkle on your bonnet; trim your bew
bo1rette costume with them buy pair Of
beaded stockings [only 800 and paf of
shoes ornamented with beads to ln&ch.
You can even hayo beads on your mech tie,
and your sacque or cloak, If desired. lhen
truly you will bo fashionable. FRI in
beads come the clair de time jet, wlli4 to
use common phrase, is going to DO run
into the ground" this winter Then cdnes
bronze, jet, and to a limited extent w4 see
colored beads. H
GORGEOUS ARRAY.
Many of the effects produced BIZ tho |
new hourette cloths arc gorgeous Such |
fantastic combinations of color as have
not for long time been witnessed--red,
golden yellow, bright blue, and green in
terspersed with reckless hand and at
random upon deep-toned surfaces of
bronze, slate, prune, brown, blue and
| green. Now in connection with these
bourette cloths arises an important ques-
ton of the day, and this is mons other
than the necessity MS m Offset, for the
addition of some plain material, either
silk or worsted. Toning down becoming
imperative, as the new materials are so
rough that refinement must be given by
some gentle touches, and therefore coulbi-
nation costumes which hitherto have been
in favor are now de 2igueur, and to such
an extent has this been carried that q cos
tune of one fabric throughout is n thing
of the past. The black silk dress which
in former times was the panacea of all
feminine woes, and Joy forever Us a
stand by" for every occasion, has now
lost prestige. Even black silk must be
combined" The same applies with even
greater force to colored silks, and i, may
be repeated that plainly wrought fabrics
of every hind are now regarded as second
airy to the bouretle OF mosaic, to which
.. they are placed as Offsets Suits of black
cloth are not discarded, but they are only
adapted to general wear, and are regarded
! as very, very sober.
