Some Of the Graceful Costumes and Taste
fui Millinery Recently Introdaesd.
The styles for the ensuing winter are
now fully displayed and 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 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 a 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 var;,d in shape and fur is a
good deal used for the trimming of the
to9ue and bolero forms. So. too, are
bands.of lophophore and parrot feath-
ers. A bolero hat IN myrils-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.

tunes, and wooden materials in plain
dark colors will be employed for
street costumes for everyday wear.
Worth is using rough navy blue
cloth a 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. 1t is composed of a tight
fitting princesse dress in scal-brown
cloth, bordered around the coat sleeves
and the short skirt with wide bands of
gray. Over this dress is to be worn a
sleeveless, close-fitting 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 pale-gray MORE
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 muff 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 preferred tints in velvet
this year for outdoor wear. He has
just completed for young Belgian
Countess most lovely dinner dress in
myrtle-green velvet and linden green
satin, which will set off The golden
hair of its future wearer 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 a new. warm
shade of chaudrin, will be extensively
used for ball dresses.-Lucy Hooper, IN
