Some OF the Graceful Costumes and Taste
full Millinery Recently Introduced.
The styles for the ensuing winter are
now fully displayed and l must say
that the feminine division of humanity
was never more gracefully tastefully
arrayed. The threatened big bonnets
have not yet made their appearance,
having been donned only by some few
eccentric ladies, who have found no
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-tinted ostrich
plumes, with tulle to match. Thus, a
capote in network of small gold
beads has the strings of pale-blue tulle
and is trimmed with the same material
and with pale-blue ostrich tips. Hats
are very varied in shape and fur is a
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 wide7brimmed hats in black veil
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.
