WINTER WEAR.
BY MILE MAY.
A Chapter for the Ladies of St. Paul and
Vicinity.

Vicinity.
The gorgeous beauty of autumn leaves has
faded into the somber russell. Frosty NIGHTS
and chilly mornings with an occasional light
fall of snow taking the sidewalk, and the fad
ing turf warn the approach of searching winds
and clustering storms, sullen skies and threat
enlng clouds. November is the harbinger
OF winter-winter with his icicles and piercing
breath. The season of dreary discomforts and
Protracted misery of melancholy and gloom
when

as all good matrons should. The birds put on
not only their warmest but their brightest
plumage Fashion should follow nature, and
hence we have this season a revival of bright
colors IN all materials for dress goods Colors,
indeed, are as gorgeous as the brilliant tints
OF autumn leaves-red of all shades, checks
and plaids, in green and blue and
cardinal red. But doubtless blue and
green Wi! become the popular eolors,
Materials for the season are very rich-satin
and brocade and velvets; satins with raised
velvet hgures brocades interviewer with silver
ana pearls, brocades with armure patterns
Perhaps the most important object of consid
Grafton with lady of taste is the selection of
garment for street and visiting wear. The
most fashionable styles for the win
ter will be the Mantua the Dolman
circulars all fur lined and fur trimmed. In
mantuas most elegant and costly appearing
style is made of Bonne silk lined with SOUR
rel, trimmed with black fox, cut beads and
bugles-a rich elegant and complete cloak. at
the very moderate price of $50.
Doimans are worn long-about ffty-seven
inches Like the mantau, they are made
OF rlch Bonne silk, lined and trim
med with fur. One of these graceful
garments lined with squirrel and trimmed with
plncked black beaver could be purchased for
$40; a still richer and more costly one lined
with squirrel backs and trimmed with pointed
black beaver-a most lady-like garment-wouId
cost 1925.
The circular of Bonnie silk, squirrel lined and
squirrel trimmed, can be purchased at from
$50 to 500, according to the depth and
quality of trimming. A most beautiful
afticle SHOWN In one OF our leading stores
was circular with black unpiucked beaver
trimmings, another with Maine mink lining
and deep mink trimming was shown. and
valued at $3.50. This garment was reversible.
and could be worn either with the silk or fur
outside. This is the only shape in which mink
IS worn--it is no longer fashionable to make it
up in the sacque.
For balls, the opera, or evening parties moth,
ing could be more beautiful than a silk circn
lar lined with Siberian ermine, and SO con-
structt q that the lining forms narrow trim
ming. Either worn with the ermine outside.
or the reverse, this elegant opera cloak is truly
regal IN It's dressy appearance. Cost, from
$3.50 to 5000.
Seal skin, of course. is fashionable, and
always will be. 1t is made up in saco ne
hape, from thirty-six to forty inches in. length
close fitting to the figure, but little fuller in
the skirt than formerly, the fulness commence
ing a few inches below the waist. The collar
is round, rolling one, without indentations of
any kind. This collar is advantageous in the
fact that 1T ls adjustable, and can be folded at
any point; and if worn standing up, it covers
the throat completely. Seal skin sacuucs

are speaking OF genuine Alaska, English dyed
goods-and not the common or coarser kinds
of fur.
In Europe there is nothing more fashionable
Tor the ensuing season than seal skin, and th1s
fact will make goods of this material yery
high. The market has within the last two
weeks advanced nearly 80 per cent. from this
cause, there being great demand in Eu-
rope that the home market is ompIetelv
drained.
Seal skin hats will be worn this winter mora
than ever. They are made in several shapes.
the prevailing ones being the English walking
hat-a jaunty dressy hat, very becoming for
almost every style of features the helmet
shaped suitable for ladies with round feathers,
the dalnsborough and the turban. These are
more or less deliberately trimmed with ostrich
and other plumes.
AS we have stated before, furs will be worn
this season more than ever and every material
made up into heavy outdoor garments will be
trimmed with it. Ladies, however will not be
allowed to monopolize entirely the soft, downy,
covering of the seal. Gentlemen also will de-
mand their SHARE Turbans trimmed
with this beautiful material will
be very fashionable, and vests are also revived.
In speaking of gentlemens wear-aHd it NAV
be some ladies' are sufficiently interested to
want to know-it might be stated that fancy
underwear in lambs wool tan color prevail
| ing with stripes of cardinal red and blue, are
all the rage. The whole suit, even to the
stockings, should match. These suits are
worth from 81 to SO, but of course there are
| limitations which can be purchased at So the
set.
| The goods referred to above can all be pur-
chased at Messrs. Ransom Il Horizons, 70 East
Third street, who have the finest stock of real
furs and genuine imported hosiery in the city,
| and they will give their customers the advan-
tage of their having purchased before the rise
in the market.
