Hints and Suggestions Concerning the Lat est Novelties in Dress.
 Mantles, redingotes and newman kets, popular as they are, are by no means exclusively worn. Jackets still hold their own, and appear in tempt ing variety. They are generally close fitting, though the double breasted Battenburg, the Norfolk and the Paris blouse are to be found Tn many kinds of materials. Stockinette jackets abound, and some of these are very warm, being 1eece-lined, thus en- abling the wearer to defy the frost. Military styles of decoration are ex- ceedingly popular for plain, tight-fit- tino iacke.s The Uhlan, with straight rows of gold braid down the front, the Tvrolese- or Austrian military jack ct, with braided front and sleeves, and the Vincennes, with another adap- tation of the military style, are other variations of out door jacket ornamentation. Paris made walking jackets are liter ally covered with braiding, beading, and galloon. Cloth gowns from the same source are also very much orna- mented with braiding or pasSementerie around the foot of the skirt. or down the front of the long polonaise.
 A pretty toilet worn at five O clock tea recently was made of terra cotta corded silk and dark Bismarck brown velvet crossed with heavy lines of gold. The round skirt was ex- ceedingly full at the back and very plain in front Around the foot was a bias band of the velvet, and above this a Hungarian tunic caught up with silk cords ending in long slender spikes. The low velvet bodice was pointed front and back, and put on over Russian guimpe of terra-cotta crepe lisse deftly shirred around the neck, and gathered close to the throat with tiny draw-string of scarlet vel vet. A handkerchief pouch of terra cotta velvet richly embroidered in terra-cotta silk, outlined with beads of darker shade, depended from the belt The silk sleeves were puffed with terra-cotta velvet on the shoul- ders, and reached not quite to the elbow. From here were airy sleeves of the crepe lisse, which glistened with an embroidery of beads matching in design the graceful device upon the velvet pouch. A cluster of scarlet roses at the belt gave the finishing touch to this exceedingly-becoming gown.
 Tinsel, gold lace, gold etamine. plush. velvet. ribbon, embroidered gauges, silk canvas, grenadine and crepe lisse in many exquisite tints are all employed in the creation of neck-trimmings this season. White lace is much less used than formerly. Small beads of various kinds are still in great requisi- tion to edge these pretty bands, for they are neck-bands chiefly. and not frills. Fine pearl beads are much used on expensive neckwear, one TOW. or two, as may be outlining the edges and meeting in front. The display of dainty collarettes in pale lovely tints. marine collars in velvet, richly em- broidered guimpes, plastrons and vests, with very often wrist decora- tions to match, is exceptionally varied and elegant this winter. A stylish neck-trimming consists of a black vel vet collar in Charles TX. style, which turns back broadly over a shirred vest of silk net or lisse. The col lar is embroidered in gold or silver, or trimmed with gold or silver gimp. The ends of the net are brought down below the chest and fastened with a gold or silver buckle. Another pretty style is the Hungarian collar of dark wine velvet, with a huge bow knotted a la marine in front; this of gay plaid ed surah. Collars and plastrons of black velvet, or bretelles of the same, are effectively worn over evening toilets of lace or tulle. these trimmed with fine pearl passementeries. Econ omy, howeve5 has no part in tho choosing of these aforementioned deco rations. N r. Post.
