will tell you all about it First the
skirt just cleared the ground all
around. The skirt was perfectly plain
and had plaits only in the back. There
were two good, deep pockets and two
neatly stitched pocket flies, which gave
a slight degree of ornament to the skirt
The coat basque was at once simple and
stylish, having a sprung polka and an
incrOyable collar, very large and wide
and opening low to show vest of bro
cade in silver gray. The gown was of
slate gray cheviot of good quality. The
sleeves were very large gigots, with a
narrow twist of brocade around the
wrist Gray suede gloves, a burnt
straw hat, with a twist of black vel
vet and a full chou of the same, and
a black parasol were the accessories
to this simple but useful costume. Its
utility is enhanced by the fact that any
one can wear it. It's plainness makes it
suitable for the active grandmother of
today, and its style, which is undenia-
BILE, renders it just right for the grand
daughter.

can wear an ulster like this, which is
made of shepherds plaid in prune and

molds covered with the material. The
cape is cut SO that there are fulled shout

black velvet ribbon, the only point of
color being a large square gilt buckle
set with imitation amethysts.
The fashion of employing imitation
jewels, while not quite as general or as
brilliant as last season, is still quite Of
ten noticed. There are several ways of
using these stones that were not thought
of then. One is to make loops of them
strung upon thread and let them hang
from shoulder to the point of the waist,
like a new sort of bretelle. Dancing
shoes are decorated with garnats, pearls,
rubies, emeralds and diamonds, all

they are false, but admires the effect

pretenses- 1t is not the poor girl long

ness who buys and wears these imita-
tions in the hope that no one will know

decks herself with quantities of these
stones, but then she wears them with
