Suede, new silver. fawn, pale olive
and apricot are popular shades for the
light and neutral walking and visiting
gowns of cloth worn this winter, and
golden-beaver, blue fox, silver fox,
lynx, Astrakhan and kremmer are used
for trimming the coat and toque that
accompany it. A coated silk or MORE
vest is set inside the bodice Of light
cloth, while the jacket has a vest of
the fur. just at the armhole of some
of the wraps are rolled epaulettes OF
the fur; there are also side-pocket
flaps, cuffs and very deep Russian
collar of the same. The new gray fur
called moufilon is much used on the
gray blue cloths worn this season.
Pretty effects are shown in the
charming gowns of reseda, maple-leaf
and geranium-green cloth that are
made with the Tapped and folded bodice

side to side. These folds are fastened
IN with the under-arm seams. and are
drawn closely and snugly as they lap.
There are dark-green velvet sleeves, a
velvet sash or girdle, and heart
shaped piece on the neck which covers
the space above the Empire folds, also
collar of the same which turns down
broadly over still broader one OF
the green cloth. Victoria silk,
soft, brilliantly finished novelty is much
used for these folds and scarfs, also
Peau de sole, another handsome weave.

fitting Louis XIV. vests, and very
elegant they look in the pale tan,
chamois and gray shades so much

with wild-rose pink shot with silver Is
another charming scheme. Pale blue

tint is brought into iuxtaposition with

heliotrope moss and mignonette, and
mignonette and rose with deep orange

among the most elegant and expensive

combination with plain failles and
Siciliennes, in Empire style or fash

drapings over skirt of costly lace. In
the Pompadour models. the square
