Dame Fashion has not let go any of her
secrets for winter styles as yet 1t Is said
that bright plaids, both in wool and velvet
will be much worn, and fur will be quite as
popular as ever before. Fine galloon and
gimp will also be much used They will
have suggestion of both gold and silver
In their designs, though it is not promised
that the two metals win be as largely used
as for several seasons past. 1t looks
as though lace would be used right
on into the winter. 1t is of every
color and every texture, and is worn on al
most every garment. Just now. a gown is
scarcely considered trimmed that has not
some lace upon 1t.
So far, there is no change in the dress
skirts. The favorite style, and the one
most worn in London and Paris, so the
latest advices say. is the old-fashioned bell
made to flare very widely. 1t is described
as falling. in waves at the bottom, and is
very full in the back. There is no trim
ming used on the skirt of such dress ex-
cept it is narrow and fiat, such as passe-
menterie, soutache or insertion.
The round waist remains tire favorite, but
