Some Timely Suggestions lConcernlns the
Making Up Of Wool Dresses.
Among the most desirable dresses for
winter are those of fine wooden that a
lady may wear at home from breakfast
to luncheon, and by adding a cloth
jacket or other wrap be suitably dressed
for the street at any time of day. For
such dresses the choice is soft twilled
wool, either serge or homespun, costing
from one dollar to three dollars a yard,
in dark stylish shades of blue (either
navy or gray blue, mulberry, green,
brown, park red or black. The entire
dress may be of this fabric, mounted on
a silk or alapaca foundation skirt, and
its trimming is black silk psssementerie
or galloon, for colored and for black
dresses alike, put on in lengthwise rows
as panels down one side from belt to
foot, and covering all that part of the
lower skirt not concealed by the apron
drapery. The back drapery is full and
nearly straight The basque is single
breasted, with revers covered with the
passementerie, beginning at the shoul-
der seams next the collar, and tapering
to the waist line, where that Of the
right side crosses to the left Of the
basque, and is fastened by hook and
eye. The high standing collar is COW
cred with the gimp, and 80 are the
small cuffs; bit Of the gimp may be
lengthwise on the two box eleats Of the
back of the basque, or else there may be
two barrel-shaped buttons thereSconnect-
ed by cord loops. Very small crocheted
buttons fasten the dress. To complete
this for the street there should be tail
or jacket of thick cloth the color of the
dress, with black cord brandebourgs
and barrel-shsped buttons, and . collar
and cuffs of black fur-either of Persian
lamb or black marten.
There are also many striped woolens
to be used for entire dresses; these have
twilled stripes wider than the hair
stripes worn during the summer, and
are in great favor in brown, in green
and in dark red shades; also in black
with white stripes. A fancy with y young
ladies is to retain the sursh plastrons
made like shirt bosoms for these dresses,
especially in contrasting colors, such as
red surah plastron in brown striped
woolen. A short sacque of striped wool
cloth may be worn with such q dress,
and this has hood lined with contrast
ing surah. The fancy for wearing
basques of plain cloth with striped skirts
is an economical one, and will be re-
tanned. The newest Of such dresses has
