ultra ambitious woman of less means.
More than one well-to-do woman

very cold weather, and necessitating

MILLINERY.
Lide q thief in the night has the
Coordination bonnet made its appear
ance. The plaid velvet bonnet, il not
forbidden, yet looked askance upon,
and many contriving spirit, by par
tial bespanglement OF gilt beads or
braiding, transforms last years capote
into something seasonable. Brocades,
also, play large part in combinations;
the crown usually composed OF such
fancy stuff with surroundings Of plain
velvet, or there may be reversing of
relative positions. Nothing is more
evident, too, than the high place still
given the capote. Evidently it came to
stay, and whatever new favori,e may
be brought in competition, the capote
comes out winner. One can note, too,
that the enormous piles of fancy patch
work feathers begin to bring some re-
action, and fastilions souls looked
about them for substitute, finding an
elegant refuge in chenille fruits or
velvet flowers.
FULL DRESS TOILETTEs.
Metallic gatherings are a marked
feature in full-dress toilettes, where
gilded OF silvered laces vie with fine
nettings heavily bespangled with
sparkling patterns. Black lace, gilded,
is favorite contrast Oh yellow satin,
and there never was time when yell
low shades, from brilliant reddish,
yellow simmer of a moonlight glow,
were oftener visible. More than one
rich costume prepared for Miss Carrie
Astor's wedding, is an exemplificatioe
of the above ideas. though beautiful
emhroideries play large part as we'll.
One of the most elegant toiIettes is Of
white velvet with front breadth cover
ed with embroidery of scarlet fuchsias,
a border surrounding the train, and q
delicate showing on corsage and
sleeves. Another dress is of pink satin
trimmed with Labrador fur and white
lace.
