Some of the Graceful Costumes and Taste
full Millinery Recently Introduced.
The styles for the ensuing winter are
now fully displayed and I must say
that the feminine division of humanity
was never more gracefully or tastefully
| arrayed. The threatened big bonnets
have not yet made their appearance,
having been donned only by some few
| eccentric ladies, who have found nc
one to copy them. The charming and
becoming little capotes retain their
vogue, with very high trimming in
front They are composed of bead
| network for evening wear and are
trimmed with pale-t.nted Ostrich
plumes, with tulle to match. Thus, q
tx apote in a network of small gold
| beads has the strings of pale-blue tulle
and is trimmed with the same materia,
and with pale-blue ostrich tips. Hats
are very varied in shape and fur is q
good deal used for the trimming of the
toque and bolero forms. So, too, are
bands of lophophore and parrot feath-
ers. A bolero hat IN myrtle-green vel,
vet, trimmed and bordered with bands
OF rich green feathers, was among the
novelties prepared for the trousseau OF
the Princess Maria Josepha of Saxony.
Very wide-brimmed hats in black vel
vet have the brim lined with velvet and
turned up at the left side. Jet and
black feathers compose the trimming
of these picturesque hats. Satin com
bined with velvet will be the favorite
style for carriage or reception cos
tunes, and wooden materials in plain
dark colors will be employed for
street costumes for everyday wear.
Worth is using rough navy blue
cloth good deal for the short, tight
fitting Jackets that are now so popular.
An exceedingly stylish, yet severely
simple costume, has been prepared in
his establishment for an American
young lady. It is composed of tight
fitting princesse dress in seal-brown
cloth, bordered around the coat sleeves
and the short skirt with wide bands OF
Astrakan fur in its natural shade OF
gray. Over this dress is to be worn a
sleeveless, close-ftting jacket in the
same cloth, also bordered with Astra-
kan. A short pelerine cape to match
may be worn over the jacket on cold
days, or with the dress alone in milder
weather. The dress, coat and cape are
lined throughout with palc-gray moire
antique. The hat to be worn with
this toilette is of the bolero shape in
dark-brown felt finished around the
brim with band of gray Astrakan,
and small muif in brown cloth. lined
with brown satin AM. encircled with a
band of gray Astrakan, completes the
toilette. Astrakan in both black and
gray is good deal employed by Worth
for trimming street dresses this sea-
son. He is also employing it on the
short, dressy wraps that are one of the
specialities of his house. For velvet
costumes he uses bands of sable or of
silver-fox fur. Dark sapphire blue and
black are his pr ferrcd tints in velvet
this year for outdoor wear. He has
just completed for young Belgian
Countess a most lovely dinner dress in
myrtle-green vclv It and linden-gree
satin, which will set off The golden
hair of its future wcarer to perfection.
Worth is introducing some lovely new
shades in velvet this season. One of
these, soft, delicate dove color, is ex-
ceedingly pretty. Ruby, myrtle green,
crushed strawberry and new, warm
shade of chaudrin, will be extensively
used for ball dresses. Lacy Hooper, IN
