so steadily and so closely the popular favor as

THE SHOULDER CAPES of fur only increase the
deformity of high shOuldered women, while
they increase the breadth of the narrOw-slOping
shoulders, and are consequently becoming,
particularly if these same shoulders are ac-
cOmpanlei by somewhat broad hips.
A HANDSOME Washington walking suit of blue
velvet. inst out, on the front of which are two
rows of lsox pleats finished with a tiny pleating
of the velvet at the bottom. The basque is quite
plain. with rolling collar. ruchings O lace in the
neck and sleeves, and plain-thOugh a handsome
costume.
FUR BORDERS for dresses are more used than
ever and are no longer restricted to the over

a. panels down each side. single wide bOr-
der is more stylish than two or more narrow
ones.

A FASHION which has been tried to no effect
in Paris is the pulled. the slashed and much

here there is grace in it, for instance, the
sleeve that is gathered from the elbow to the
wrist, and finished on the hand with frill,
while the top part is loose to the elbow.

plique lace. The bodice has square neck
