The little toques that are worn for thea
tire, carriage shopping and calling are de-
ceptive as to price. The cost is not at all
commensurate with the size Of the hat A
little one with pulled crepe de chine crown,
feather band border, ostrich tips at the
back and couple of let ornaments costs
SIC.
Another one all black with black cloth
crown. Persian lamb band, silk pon-p
and two Persian lamb heads costs SIS.
By leaving off the lamb "heads" the price
is reduced to Sl2. If you take your own
materials there is not much difference in
the COST for the making of the toque alone
is s. and the frame and petty expenses
come to three more.
For those who have regular features, not
too large, and naturally sweet expression
the little Hat toQues, nearly the shape of a
brimless sailor hat are becoming, covered
plainly with silk or other material. In the
front may be set cocks plume towering
saucily erect.
| Coats are greatly diversified by trim
mings and combinations of fur gimp and
braiding. An elegantly braided jacket, so
! finely done that the cloth appears almost as
if brocaded, can be had for $50. 1t barely
comes over the hips, is close fitting and has
tight sleeves, slightly pulled at the should
| erS.
A favorite jacket is combination of seal
cloth and astrakhan. There are astrakhan
sleeves and an astrakhan vest with astra-
khan lappels, collar and cuffs. The body of
the coat is seal plush. These are, likewise.
plush and the real fur.
Another coat has braided body with
Persian lamb sleeves. An elegant garment
is of heavy black cloth with full mink
sleeves. Almost never does one see the
all cloth jacket or the all fur one, if It
is of this years buying. Those who owned
sealskin jackets are having them combined
with sable, otter, mink or beaver, ana those
who buy anew, are sure to get combination
jackets.
a few astrakhan coats sell to those who
are in deep mourning, for it is universally
argeed that this fur is most fashionable
with mourning dresses.
House slippers are dainty enough to court
the drinking OF champagne form their i'm
maculate depths. In ali cases, that is, in
all fashionable cases, they exactly match
the costume and, to insure this absolute har.
mony, they are made from a piece of the
dress goods. 1t costs only dollar or two
beyond the regular price to get slippers
made from ones own material and the
beauty and daintiness are sufficient to repav
the outlay.
Alovely imported dress is of grey, smooth
cloth. The neck and wrist are shirred with
pink stockings to match the ribbon and slip
pers made from a bit of the grey material
grey strap passes around the ankle
making charming contrast to the pinl
tint of the stocking.
Turkish slippers for boudoir use have
somewhat taken the place of the toilet slip
pers, as being cooler to the feet and more
prone to keep their shape. The Turkish
slippers come in red, blue bronze and black
. tbop bn
and turn up to long point at the toe in
true Turkish picturesque style.
The instep is heavily embroidered III sill
yer and gold. And all this for from sixty
five to eighty five cents.
The Louis Quinze style of shoe is once
more fashionable. And it is predicted tina
it will continue to be so for more than
seasons run, because it is so becoming t.
the foot. When the slipper is opened i
spreads out almost fat, but in closing i
over the foot, the two side pieces are
brought up and Tapped over each other ant
the front spreads over them with bis
buckle, as large as the instep can carry.
For street wear the most fashionable
boots are the low -heeled broad, common
: sense makes. A novelty in misses boot:
are some that are made with morocco low
ers and glove kid uppers. The tops beins
so high that they button to the knee, TAX
ing the place of leggings. These must bt
made to order and are expensive, though
elegant in appearance, giving an exquisite
contour to the leg.
Black stockings are not worn at all, ex
, cept with street dresses. Mourning stock
ings for the house are fine white silk, Of
Isle, embroidered in white, black or purple
Heliotrope hosiery are displayed in the
, the windows decorated with pansies, vic
lets and pale snowdrops. Occasionally
pairs of black stockings are permissible
but they must be heavily decorated will
whatever garniture ornaments the gown
whether it be jets, beads, embroidery o.
feather trimming. Tine last is pretty as ;
trimming around the top of the slipper, i
one can rid ones self of the feeling tina
! ones feet and ankles are bearing resem
blance to those of feather-legged fowl.
A delicate fall of lace was arranged
, around the tops of pair of house slippers
the lace being continued over the front o
. the slipper in pretty jabot, until it endet
in a rosette at the toe.
Any girl with modicum of ingenuity,
