FASHIONABLE FANCIES,

PINK will be the fashionable color for
the seasons evening dresses.
BLACK Irish poplin trimmed with
sicilienne is much wore for mourning
costumes -iANif tts-'
VERY broad hats are trimmed on the
brim. Outside jackets are of plain and
striped plush. TqHH0g
A NEW jacket, and one that promises
to be very popular, is made of leather,
in red and golden brown shades.
New plush costumes are trimmed
with stamped material resembling
leather.
New seal dolmans present novelty
IN the pr1ncesse sleeve, which closes snug
~ over the arm, though presenting the
effect of full sleeve.
PLUSH gloves for ladies are among the
importation, but will scarcely meet with
popular favor, as they make small hands
look like bears paws.
A STYLE of hat, which is termed "per-
fectly captivating" is in the Alsatian
peasant shape, with peaked crown and
graceful rolling brim.
SHORT, transparent wells just reach
the nose when adjusted. They are en-
broidered with beads of steel, gold or
jet.
Wells are worn only on turbans or
small round hats. A large poke or large
hat has It's style entirely destroyed by
veil. Dark garnet and bronze shades
are worn for travelling.
The most stylish wraps for early au-
tumn wear, are the square-sleeved cloaks
of English home-spuns or Scotch cloths,
made in three quarter lengths, neither
very long nor very short, and trimmed
with deep plush collars.
LARGE felt hats are invented for those
women not pretty, but who want some
thing to attract attention. AS they
haven't beauty they accept the hat.
Pretty-faced women battle for small,
close bonnets, because they can afford to
depend on their own features to charm
with.
MILLINERY ornaments are quainter
than ever. They consist of tiny wolf
heads, showing teeth and tongues, pis-
tolls of jet and gilt, ROSTERS heads of
both metal and feathers, silver snails,
green turtles and Holsters and crabs and
shrimps.
FOR dressy cloaks the long shapes Of
last year are most admired, and prefer
ence is given to straight Japanese gar
ments with square sleeves. Some Of
these are made entirely of plush, others
of cloth, satin, serge, siciienne or bro
caded velvet.
In plain wr&ps the smooth Moscow
beaver is now preferred to any repped
cloth. A handsome garment in smooth
beaver is made with long square dolman
sleeves, which are lined with watered
silk. The entire garment and the sleeves
are richly trimmed with chinchilla-like
| fur introduced this season and variously
, called Russian cat and French chinchilla,
though it is really an Austrian fur.
THERE is special fancy for cloth colors
in wraps. Dark brown cloth is popu-
larly trimmed with seal bands, and dark
green and blue are both shown in rich
goods profusely trimmed with moss trim
mings of chenille or heavy bands of
plush. In brocades large aesthetic de-
signs are chosen ID sunhower, huge lily
or other artistic patterns. The long
wraps are becoming alike to stout and
slight women, though the former should
be careful to avoid any garment shirred
ON the shoulders or unnecessarily full,
as it will add to their apparent size; also
they should avoid a wrap deliberately
trimmed around the bottom. as these
take away from the height and make the
stout women look still shorter and thick
