| Millinery.
Brocaded silks In every variety Of
color and design will be popular fol
evening wear, either In combination
with plain material, velvet, or lace; or
the whole costume may be of brocade,
provided the pattern Is not too large.
Diagonals and corded silks are also very
stylish for evening, and here velvet be-
comes q most important factor, lmpart-
ing character and finish. Entire cos
tunes are Of light-colored Bengaline de
sole, trimmed with rich white Duchess
Sc lace, In the panels at the side, in
bretelle fashion on the waist and deep
| frills on the elbo sleeves. Mousseline
de sol will prove powerful rival to
evening silks and will be largely used
In combination with them. For very
young ladies the entire dress may be Of
mousseline de sol, but young matrons
display good taste in having only the
underskirt of this material and the
Prlncesse overdress of rich, plain COL
ored silk. In many handsome toilets
the front breadth is of one material,
side panels of another, and black
breadth Tor train) and corsage ofa third.
Any material, if only yard or two can
he utilized, as everythingi is the fashion.
Stripes, polka dots, brocades, corded
and repped stuffs may all be used to
advantage with plain material; If, only
enough for collars and cuffs, and one
side of the corsage, 1t Is quite sufficient.
Any lady of taste and industry can
make handsome costume by braidiDg
front breadth In some contrasting yet
harmonious shade, on plain material
and also q collar, cuffs and half of the
waist front. Handsome evening dress
es may be made In the same style, and
II the dress material Is light colored
and the braiding in gilt, nothing could
be more stylish. Deep lace ruffiings In
black, white, and all the fashionable
shades are much worn and boas oflace,
flowers and feathers are seen at all FASH
ionable entertainments. Stylish hand
kerchiefs are rounded at the corners
with sprays of fine hand embroidery, or
may have a plain hem edged with real
lace. Corsage handkerchiefs are of
mousseline de sol, richly embroidered
in white and colors and are charming
addition to the ensemble of costume,
and 1t can be added that the favorite
perfume is now Lautier's Lilac Blooms;
the twin sister of Maybells which has
proved so universally popular. 8avon
Maybells, the new toilet soap, leaving
such delicate odor after use, is being
generally adopted by the most fashion,
able classes.
FUR WAS NEVER
a more important factor in dress than
at present. It is employed on dresses
in great varieties of ways, on cloaks,
hats, and even shopping bags are made
of it, with small animal head at the
upper part and larger one below.
Fur capes are more fashionable than
ever, and only differ from those,of last
season in being longer in the back,
pointed in front, higher on the should
ers, and showing large wired collars,
that turn up or down at pleasure. A
new idea ls to tuck silk handkerchief
In the neck of the cape, a part showing
In front and generally corresponding ia
color with the hat trimming. Combi-
nations In fur are very much in vogue
and a lightand dark fur placed together,
bring out the beauties of each; as for
example, tiger and seal, also seal and
krimmer. Persian lamb Is very .popu-
lar both alone and in combination and
very handsome cloaks show just an
edge of 1t round the sleeves and down
the front, large collar giving a SUBJ
stantial finish.
GILT BECOMES
more and more prominent in fine mill
linery, and it Is not at all unusual to
see an entire hat of Gilt network, on q
foundation of black or dark-colored vel
vet. Gilt lace ON the sides of velvet
hats and forming in front high bow
in conjunction with velvet loops is in
great favor, and sometimes the gilt lace
is jewelIed, or the velvet loops are held
in place by gilt daggers. quill feathers
or long gilt pins. Canary color is es-
pecially popular, and is seen in combi-
nation with all the wood shades, grays,
blues and black.
