p ain velvet is the material preferred
above all others for winter costumes for the
streets, for church and for afternoon recsp-
tions. Fur or feathers, with little lace,
are the trimmings.
A pretty afghan for baby is Described
as made OF white flannel with embroiderei
scallops about the edges and s diagonal
stripe of le blue or white silk acruss the
front, embroidered la yellovcentered d,ises.
The newest s-aIssiu wr,p is = shcrt
visiie, with high shoulders aud long tab
fronts, but very short IN the back. The
trimming, instesd Of being band Of fur
from some other animal is a ball fringe
With the balls covered with sealskin
Transparent crepe of faint pink ana
blue shades covered with silver spots is the
novelty for evening dresses. IL is Orna
mented with fringes of silver seauins and is
made over satin. Embroidered tulle skirts
with scarlet chenille peoples are worn
with red velvet bodices.
Warm cloths in heather gray mixtures
are fashionable for morning costumes for
streets, as they are also quite suitable for
msntles and jackets. Fancy cloths show
close and intricate blendings of color
which make them dull and harmonious in
tone, and therefore suitable for the street.
Fur plsstrops and borders with some bronze,
gilt or silver braid are the trimmings.
Rich brocades with patterns of many
tinted flowers in wreaths and sprays that
copy nature literally in size and color are
on grounds of colored satin. Birds and
butterflies, shrimPs and many less agree
able objects, as yell as many fruit designs,
are employed for such rich msteIials as en-
bossed velvets and elegant brocsded satins.
The pelisse is still the most generally
accepted form for long cloaks. IL is how
ever, slightly changed this season, by being
loose In front but tight fitting at the back,
with ample fullness to allow room for the
dress-skirt beneath. Figured cloths with
Egyptian and Italian designs are used in
odd colors of blue and brown, with shaded
plush or silk Innings.
A tes-gown forms an important part of
bridal troussesu as morning wrappers
formerly did. For blondes they are made
with 9 long overdress of pale blue siciienne
and a short skirt covered with Venetian
embroidery. For brunettes they are OF
vieux rouge surah trimmed with blouse
vest and creamy lace in the Fedora fash
ions of Sarah BernhsrdFs play.
The smallest children wear large wide
brimme,l hats, which form q most becom-
ing frame TO the face. They are msde OF
very soft and fine felt, and are handsomely
trimmed with velvet bands and iull plumes.
Dark colors are the fashion in these hats
pre-eminently dull red, blue and brown !;
and with these sh ,uld be worn a cloth or
plush coat of the same color long enough
TO hide the dress beneath il.
Tailor made costumes OF dark blue,
green or brown velyeteen, with tOque and
muf TO match, will be in grest fashion this
winter. The Juror for velveteen is greater
than ever bu, it is positively necessary that

attractive costumes are being sent over by
leading moiisies of London, Paris and vi
emma. OF combination Of soft WOODEN plsids
and velveteen, and also Of velveteen and
Ottoman cloth in monochrome.

but gayly ornamsnted by rows innumerable
of Veronese red braid. The jockey basque
opens over q psffed Moll.re chemi.ette of
red velvet, but fastened down the center
with red silk buttons. The tunic is short
in front, with still shorter Vatican folds
behind. New combinations for similar
dresses are brick-red with moss-green slate
gray and poppy colors, tobacco brown and
electric blue.
