snugly buttoned down the front and cut so
long that it extended quite TO the knees Of
the wearer. There was a band of sable
around the collar and another band of
sable around the entire edge of the coat
and on the cuffs. A tiny mutt of white
Bedford cord trimmed with lace and
adorned with two tiny bands of sable and
a couple of heads were suspended around
the waist by silver chain.
The hat which was worn with this cos
tune was a PREDETERMINED black velvet
hat trimmed with a very large bow of
white satin ribbon. The bow was
fastened upon the front of the crown,
and double loops OF ribbon almost COW
cred the brim of the hat. There was q
white lace facing, and two large silver
daggers were used as hat pins. White
suede gloves stitched with silver and q
white crepe de chine pocket handkerchief
and feather fan completed the most
dream of beauty.
You have heard of golden slippers. Not
only IN song, but in reality.
Dem golden siippersi On, dem golden
slippersi" have become actualities. for one
sees them In all the fancy shoe shops.
They are becoming TO the feet and they go
with any gown. But may be you have
not seen the gold gloves which are now
making their appearance as novelties.
They are OF some line material-possibly
kid-wlth a gold finish, similar To the
gliding on slippers. They are very dressy
and are designed only for very state occa-
slons.
1t is very fashionable to wear a hat in
the evening, no matter what the OCCASION
may be. In the ballroom one sees very
large-brimmed hats of fancy open-work
design, or tiny flower bonnets. Since
these hats are worn entirely for beauty,
they are made as becoming as possible.
Frequently the hat is made up entirely on
the head. in this way:
After the hairdresser has completed her
work she takes a bunch of artificial vio-
lets, aZaleas, orchids, hyacinths, or any
flowers that may be chosen, and
pins them we'll forward upon the
head. Then she takes some
white lace, fastens it tastefully around the
flowers, using tiny diamond pins or other
jewels. When this is done she fastens on
the strings with a jewelled dagger and
brings them down under the chin, cross
ing them and bringing them up again to
the back of the head, where they are
crossed upon the couture and fastened
with another jewelled dagger.
The effect is very pretty, for the bonnet
is put on just as 1t should be, and conse-
quentIy leaves nothing TO be desired in
the way of obtaining the right effect.
1t is really true that We are coming TO
wear loose coats in the streets.
|. There viii always be those women who
insist upon wearing coats that tit the fig-
ure and show it of properly. But women
who follow the latest styles regardless of
their natural beauties will soon be putting
on the long, losse coat that has not even
suspicion Of fit IN its makeup.
The back of this loose coat is made all in
one piece, and 1t Is perfectly fiat and gives
woman the appearance of choosing TO
look like section Of one side of the house
The 'front.' Of the cloak is a little better
because it is trimmed with fur, and it has
couple OF fancy lapels that turn back and
form sort OF relief 10 the nightgown effect
OF the back.
loose, and women who are in the habit of
buying their coats ready made and who
are unwilling TO wear these loosely hang
ing things will have 10 have a great deal

suited at all.
Hats for Theater use are so small that
the old jokes and the stage gags about the
immense hats that obstruct the views OF
the men have had TO be altered to lit the
season.
II was almost CHASTITY TO hear one of
these old jokes on big hats in The Junior
Partner" X was told is if for funny eff
feet. but IL fell 10 the floor and was re-
ceived without even smile. for there was
not a big hat IN the audience.
Theater hats are small and theater hair
dressing IS immense, and that is the way
il Is eyened Up.
