full, are different in cut from those of
last season. because laid in two box
plaits at the back. rather than in all

the latter. however, they are very tight
fitting, and minority open in front

capes are wondrously ornamented by

velvet plush.
FUR CAPEs
OF course are very desirable. and IN view
of demand new kinds Of furs are intro
duced, which bring prices more within
tue reach of the average buyer. These
are electric seal or MORE astracLan, the
former so called because while resemb-
ling seal the hairs stand out, astrachan
having prestige this year that is with
out precedent. A nice cape about thirty
inches long. of electric seal, can be
bought for $25, astrachan coming about
ten dollars higher, prices of both in
creasing with the size of the garment.

The
BRIGHT CoLoRs
used in millinery give an unusually gay
appearance, especially the very bright
gradations of ceriSe, a reddish pink and
the latter called emerald. With these
come the blue tints of course. Brilliant
yellow and bright red ard al being
combined freely with black, the strik-
ing results may be imagined readily.
Weaves of narrow tin or chenille and
felt are reckoned extremely stylish,
composing not few of the dressiest
hats, and this probably because so

NEW FLANNELs

flowers, or in hair-line stripes set close
together, there being of course a pro-

Ivory Soap and lukewarm water the
finest qualities may be washed without
the slightest risk of fading This also
holds good regarding embroideries and
rich laces. In silks the patterns are
close and small, vivid colorings being
most in demand, as for example, where
an emerald surface is varied by ceriSe
sprays on blue tint ground work, by
brilliant yellow, etc Bengaline show

immensely popular, and favorite idea
is to veil the corsqge with chiffon or
mousseline. or substitute Independent
waists of light material.

by its use the hitherto customary wet

measure obviated. Its durability IS I'M
