One pretty fashion is that of making
a satin apron, wrinkled ana fringed with
pearls, to cover the three front breadths
while the back ,breadths are tlounced
from the belt to the end of the train with
>pleatings Of double tulle.
The fine Lyons tulle is the traditional
fabric for ball dresses. 1t is made up in
most elaborate designs over satin, as it is .
not effective when used scantily, and has
many flowing ribbons and rosettes of
white satin for trimming.
Buttoned boots or French heeled Slip
pers for dancing are made of the material
Of the dress or its trimming. Those of
satin or of brocade are considered the
most stylish. The silk stockings arc of
the same color, or else white with colored
embroidery. r - (
d Some of the most distinguished look
Ing evening dresses have skirts with
straight fronts in panels and flowing
trains, and are without Overskirt or drap-
cry. This style is effective in combina.
tions of two materials, as in beautiful
dress of pale pink brocade and pink silk.
To sum up tie fashion as it is ana will
remain throughout the winter, 1T may be
said that the toilet varies according to
the hours of the day. Toilets for the
morning arc simple, somber, almost mas
culine...& The evening, on the contrary, is
| devoted to historic or Individual fancy.
| TBouquet-holders to fasten on the cor
sage for small bunch of roses are
| brooches with a ring at the back to re-
ceive the flowers. They come in tur-
quoises, in silver and in yellow Roman
gold, in serpent and lizard patterns, or

ranks as the newest; it is a dead, soft,

spots, and combines happily with striped
velvet and moire,' which latter is now
called '.French moire," to distinguish it
from MORE antique, with its large water

The newest white gauzes are in great
variety. One of the most effective pat
terms has bars of loops like plush, form
! ing diamonds. Others have stripes of
satin less than an inch broad, or else
moire and satin are required to trim the
latter. The soft white bareges grow in
favor, and are inexpensive -E
The newest calicoes found on the
counters are striped in twilled lines i1ni-
tating the Cheviot patterns. For present
|suse they come in navy blue, dark green
l4seal brown or olive shades with white
I twilled line strips in clusters; dealers say
the dark. garnet shades SO popular at
present are being made up in these goods
| Everything faded is in the fashion
At present it is the chief endeavor of the
flower makers to execute with the perfec.
ton Of nature withered roses with the
leaves half fallen. To wear fresh blown
rose is considered vulgar, while nothing
is more distinguished than rose with
languishing petals separating and ready
; to fall to the ground.
Many ladies wear natural flowers Or
= dress occasions, each one selecting
particular flower and confIing herself tt
it. A large cluster is stuck in the belt
and smaller one, containing, it may be
a single flower, is fastened high on thu
LETT side of the corsage by the jeweleo
brooch which is prepared for that purpose
or else by few loops Of ribbon.
Scarfs to wear around the neck outside
of fur lined cloaks, seal-skin sacques, o.
velvet mantles are made of the soft white
india null, trimmed all around witt
pleated Breton lace, and having three
or four rows of pleated straight acros:
each end. These scarfs are so wide tina
when gathered up around the neck, they
are almost as warm as q fur boa, and ar
,. used to take the place Of furs.
