PRETTY WINTER GIRLS.

Becoming Fashions Promised for Cold
Weather-short Dresses and Plenty OF
Furs-w. c. 7. o. EIection-A Wilkins
burg wedding-Gossip of Society.
A LLsummer the women ofPittsburg have
had but one hand and no pockets. They
have worn the long g-trained, tight-ftting
skirt,i in which pocket was an impossibility
since no woman of taste will allow her
pocket to bulge as 1t would with this skirt
and the train required the use of one hand
perpetually to keep it out of the dust. The
one free hand has had to take care of one
pocket book, one umbrella, one card case,
two gloves (it having been too warm to wear
them in the usual manner), from four to six
rings, two letters several newspapers and
magazines, one handkerchief, one shopping
bag and miscellaneous collection of dry
goods parcels. What wonder that she is
tired and disgusted with the train, and is
ready to take her other hand into her conf
dence. The train has been cut off and the
dress is OF a sensible walking length.
The garment that is to take the place OF
the everlasting "blazer'' costume, which, no
matter how sensible it is in design, has be-
come nauseatingly monotonous, since near
ly every other oman you meet is wearing a
blue blazer, is the "outing dress" 1t con-
sfsts of a round walking skirt and double
breasted coat, with n high collar lifting
closely around the neck, nearly always CIV
ing stylish effect. In some cases the coat
is close-fitting to the figure. but, if desired,
it can be worn loosely. The skirt has
pocket on the right side, cut well toward the
front, and fitted in like pocket in mans
be rich blues and browns and wine. The hat
to go with this costume will be on the Alpine
order, trimmed profuselv with ostrich
feathers. Talking about feathers, they will

been for many years being seen on hats and
gowns, mingled with JET trimmings and
handsome velvet ribbons.
The Pittsburg maiden will be prettfer
winter girl than she was summer girl. Furs
are becoming to all women, and tney will be
worn generally this winter. The hue OF the
fur will harmonize with the tone of the
dress. Thus brown gown will call for
seal, mink, marten, etc. The girls will all
look warm and comfortable, and hence be
particularly attractive in the cold weather.
