are intended to tie smartly under the chin
in a full soft bow with short ends.
This winter the walking shoes all have
cork soles, making the shoe sole from a third
to a half-inch thick, and setting their wear
ers up on stills on which they can walk right
through the worst place on these terrible
streets and never stop to pick their way.
A magnificent dinner dress Is of aubere;ne
velvet, the plain skirt draped with white
lace and bands of SABLE. The corsage is
trimmed in the same manner around the
decollete, and the fur and lace are held to-
gether by a twisted ribbon of shaded euber-
CINE.
For pretty inexpensive evening gowns,
nothing surpasses the striped surahs or the
dainty shot silks. They Skinner in a very
attractive way under artificial light, they 40
not crease or soil easily, and do duty twice as
long as most other inexpensive textiles OF
similar character.
Striped winter fabrics are made up quite
on the bias and, as a rule, there is nothing
but three "baby' frilis or a tiny puff OF silk
or roll of fur at the hem. There are also seen
three spaced bands of fur on cloth SKIRTS
but, in a few cBses, this spaced trimming
reaches to the knees.
Sachets are keeping pace with cushions
and pillows in size and variety. Bed sachets
to hold the nightdress are covered with sheer
muslin and trimmed with lace, put on very
full, often in jabot effect. The narrow rib
bons are much used in trimming these
pockets, combined with the lace.
A kiss, according to the definition which
took the prize in a London competition in
which 1000 were considered, is here given
IAN insipid and t~asteless morsel, which be-
comes delicious and oelectable in proportion
as it is favored with love-" Good, put not
as satisfactory as the thing it describes.
The Innisfallcn cape Is a new driving cloak
for ladies, made somewhat on the lines of a
mans Inverness cape, The ~undergarment is
like u coat without sleepes, reaching to the
neck, ana a long cape with Il roll collar but
tons over and Is almost the same length. 1t
is the height Of comfort for driving III wet
weather.
"Crushed morocco" Is a new ~favorite in
the leather field. 1t is considerably more
decorative than crocodile leather, being
smooth and very pliable. 1t comes In beauti-
full shades electric blue, water green and
hellotrope, and, fashioned into blotting
books, card cases aud other small leather
impedimenta is very effective.
Tho new ribbons are very pretty, being of
the richest quality, with a corded edge and
double face. There is yellow faced with
white, light and dark auberglne and other
tints. Other ribbons are shaded, and when
made into ruches for skirt or other trimming
they are charming, the various sides giving
almost the effect of a flower boa.
Mrs. La Mode: ooh, | bog you to take or
that dear little bird. So much Is being said
about this destruction of bird life that |
would not wear one for the world. Haven't

on the hat): II hardly think we have
madame. We are trimming with birds and
wings almost entirely.n Mrs. La Mode:
THAT wing would do very well were 1t not
so small. II you can get more of that style
you may trim it up with wings"
Kate Field Is out with a suggestion that is
absolutely startling. She thinks it very sin
gular that In all the schemes for dress reform
nobody seems to have thought of supplying
men with more OF a lap ana relieving women
OF some of the worst effects of an over sup
ply Of the same a~rticle.n This Is positively
alarming and all the young men and young
women in the country may be- expected to
raise their voices in strenuous opposition to
any such PROPOSAL.
Two new interpretations of the puzzle as TO
where a lady may wear her watch are found
among the seasons novelties. The watch
that has been worn as q bracelet at the wrist
or u medal on the shoulder, that has been in
serted in card cases and umbrella handles. is
now set in q ring for the finger or as the clasp
of the small chain portmonnaies so much af-
feoted by the swell young woman. The pock-
etbOok of gold webbing, with the tiny gold
watch covering the clasp Is, of course, the
one the perfectly correct young man will pre-
sent to his best beloved girl this Christmas
tide.
