The Shaker poke will be popular this
winter for children.
Cherry red and ochre yellow are the
leading colors in millinery just now.
Many of the short black garments arc
deliberately trimmed with black fox fur.
The newest thing in furs is the high
shouldercd p~clcrinc with high standing
collar.
S]olid-colorcd fur Innings for both fur
lined dolmans and circulars arc most pre-
fcrrcd.
Belts and chatclainc bags, made of
finely embossed leather, of entirely new
designs, arc again in high vogue.
Undycd beaver is very fashionable for
trimming cloaks, and capcs made OF 1t
are more stylish than those of any other
fur.
Chenille fringe is extensively used for
trimming dresses and nantes: 1t IS
handsome and expensive, but 1t never
lasts more than II season.
The plain black silk is not nearly so
popular as the Ottomans, mcrvelllcuX ana
satin rhadamcs. If one wants to to buy
an economical black dress a good
black satin is the best.
White bonncts have gone entirely ont
Of fashion for evening wear. Those OF

made simply and trimmed with a cluster
of ostrich tips are the most fashionable.
A very elegant walking costume is
made of a pattern dress of deep cedar
brown bison cloth, the skirt showing d
deep band of the simulated Persian en-
broidery above Il narrow pclissc. The
long, tight-fitting coat Is trimmed with
bands of buffalo fur, and a round turban
has q miniature bison's head in the front.
One Of Mrs. Langtry's pretty walking
dresses is of dark blue broadcloth, with
skirt bordercd by several tiny plcatings
of rcd and yellow satin, Il short distance
above which is a band of channels skin
some three inches in width. The tight
fitting waist is similarly trimmed, and
the little turban worn with it is of dark
blue.
A favoritc style of jcwclry is of mug
g~et-finishcd gold with scattered jewels
embedded in the rough surface. Hand
some bracelets arc formed by uniting the
roughly-roundcd or rectangular plates,
aid linked sleeve buttons of this style
are well liked in the form of trefoil. For
a scarf-pin a little sword with richly
jcwclcd hllt is Il style of which few

a new style of dressing the hair is high
in the back and on the head. The
couture is composed of two waved ban
deaus, which are generally false. The
hair is taken up in the back in Chinese
fashion and tied rather high; it is then
divided into three parts, each of which
forms a kind of bow with smooth loops.
Each of these is fastened through the
center with a shell pin. In a second style
the hair is divided horizontally into two
parts. The upper part is tied high and
then divided to form putfs which are ar
ranged in a wreath around the mead. The
three upper puffs show from the front.
The other part of the hair is braided
and taken in the center of the

crimped bandcaus. The back forms puffs
and small twists of hair, with low combs
placed in the center of the head and on
either side of the back. Although to
some it may be undesirable to do away
with the Grccian knot, it would be good
for others. If a girl has a low forehead,
small, regular features and a head pro-
truding far at the back and gracefully
sloping toward the neck, she will look
well with her hair arranged in low coil
at the back; otherwise, she has the ap-
pcarancc of being in undress. Fashion
able hairdresscrs do not braid the hair
now. 1t is invariably coilcd. 1t should
be Thoroughly brushed before coiling, and
never brushed aftcrward. Bangs still
stay.
