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.
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 arr simple, somber, almost mas
culine. The evening, on the contrary, is
devoted to historic or individual fancy
Bouquet-holders to fasten on the cor
sage for small bunch of roses are
brooches with 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
representing a bee or butterfly amid the
flowers.
Among black materials satin perle
ranks as the newest; it is dead, soft,
silky fabric. studded with bright satin
spots, and combines happily with striped
velvet and MORE, which latter is now
called "Frerch moire," to distinguish it
from MORE antique, with its large water
ed figure.
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 strip es Of
satin less than an inch broad, or else
MORE and satin are required to trim the
latter. The soft white bareges grow in
favor, and are inexpensive.
The newest calicoes found on the
counters are striped in twilled lines imi-
tating the Cheviot patterns. For present
use they come in navy blue, dark green,
seal brown or olive shades with white
twllled 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
hower-makers to execute with the pertec-
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 on
dress occasions, each one selecting a
particular flower and confiIing herself to
it.. A large cluster is stuck in the belt,
and a smaller one, containing, it may be,
single flower, is fastened high on the
lett side Of the corsage by the ieweled
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, or
velvet mantles are made Of the soft white
India null, trimmed all around with
pleated Breton lace, and having three
or four rows of pleated straight across
each end. These scarfs are so wide that
when gathered up around the neck, thew
are almost as warm as fur boa, and arc
used to take the place of furs.
A new style of favors for the "German'
is ribbon bows with long ends, upon each
OF which is printed one verse of "The
frog he would a-wooing go.'' The first
line of each couplet is printed on a gen.
tleman's ribbon, the second on lady's,
and the two who can make up the coupler
between them are partners. Another
favor is an oblong card containing a
question and answer, which are cut apart
and divided between the gentlemen and
ladies'.
