LACE, VELVET AND FUR.
Pelerines or Collects Special Feat
ures of the Toilets of Smart
Women This Season.

The dainty little confections which do
duty this winter for outside wear are
special features of the smart wOman's
toilets, says the Brooklyn Eagle. These
| pellerlnes or collets, as they are variously
| termed, are marvels of lace, velvet and
| fur. At afternoon functions they are by
| far the most elegant accessories of the
| many elegant costumes which appear on
| all sides. They are the result of the big
| dress sleeves, which make jackets really
impracticable. A very dainty design noted
at the portrait exhibition was made of
| ton of bright-hued satin, the whole being
| lined with ermine and finished with a lace
| hood. Changeable mirOir velvet was the
| material of one recently displayed in
| store window, the color of which was as
near prune as anything with BLUSH lus-
| ter. One side of the cape was thrown
| back to show the lovely pink silk lining
| sprinkled with little bouquets. First this
wrap had full cape of velvet trimmed
with a border of black ostrich tips and
| falling below the waist; over this and
| reaching just below the shoulders was a
jet and ostrich plumes. The collar was OF
ostrich plumes fastened with knot OF
satin ribbon.
With a dark silk skirt, variety of
bouses and a dressy little cape one is
| armed for all occasions. Indeed the silk
| ter than ever and more Indispensable 1t
| is not unusual for the modiste to send
home half a dozen fancy waists 1or one
skirt White satin is considered correct
| for at least one of these, trimmed with
| jet and lace.
| For the street the height of elegance
| is an expensive crepon. Some OF the
| latest imported designs are trimmed
| with perforated cloths, that novel material
| of the season, embroidered all over with
round or diamond-shaped eyelet holes;
| Thus a green gown has the yoke covered
Win perforated cloth of the same color
| with the edges of the perforatlon EN-
| brodered in Jet More effective suits are
| trimmed with cloth in Il contrasting Color
| Crepon is also trimmed with guipure'
| A very rich suit of Havana brown ere
pom shows wayy lines OF olaGh, .nG ho Mt'rS'
| the points of which meet on the bust
| with a great knot of black satin. The I'M
mense puffed sleeves are hnlshed WIN
tinv black satin cuffs. The hat to ac-
| company this chic costume is OF black
velvet trimmed with satin ribbon ana
tufts of ostrich tips.
| Now shapes in winter hats continually
! appear. Among the high novelties are the
| Marie Louise, the directoire, Medlcl ana
q rather trying shape known to some mil
liners as the Rembrandt. Mos, OF these
are laden with large and small plumes'
| els are preferred by the majority or Wom-
| on. This pretty young woman $ hat is es-
| necally worth attention. 1t is black
| felt. medium size with conlcai crown
| and brim edged with a narrow band OF
Persian lamb Grouped on one size Is d
| cluster of black feather pompons OF vari-
ous sizes, while others are carelessly
placed about the crown. Two pale pink
! roses are added at the back, one above
and the other under the brim. At the
| theater butterfly bonnets mlngle with pig
| hats which are sometimes kindly removed.
Small round hats are pretty with the 1 Grlm
| and crown shirred full of crepe hsse,
| trimmed at one side with a cluster OF
! fins and satin ribbon bows. while under
| the brim at the side and back are punches
! of small posies.
some of the prettiest riding habits in
process of making at the tallors are: IN ~
| tended for wear at Southern resorts. IN
| dressed melton is the fabric used by Eng
! lish tailors The colors preferred are
| Mack blue and brown. The prevailing
| style is a single-breasted getaway coat,
| long enough to escape the Saddle n
! pretty accessory is a checked wool vest.
Sleeves here are of moderate size. "A
| suit of myrtle green melton has just been
! finished for a member of a party intend
| mo TO winter at st. Augustine. Lace
may also be worn South all winter. The
choice of hats is either a felt derby or a
| silk top hat. The habit shown is one de-
signed by a London tailor. 1t is in the
| nrincess style with tight fitting bodice,
onening with short revers over shirt
| niastron. collar and black tie. Side and
| hin pockets are ornamented with buttons.
/ While the crop is used by many house
| women, more prefer the whip.
A dainty Christmas present TOR falr
| eouestrienne is Il riding whip which has
| tiny watch set cunningly in the handle.
An transformations dress may be very
| simplc this season, yet most eHectlVe bE
means of a happy combination OF differ

| ure of some of the most desirable gowns
| For Young women is this very simplicity.
! Take the one pictured for instance as a
model The materials are bronze green
| cloth and mahogany red velvet. Ine
| Vandyked yoke of velvet is edged With

Brown camel's hair and oiuet veivet -
| another pretty youthful combination
The French blouse waist dropping
| sl;ohtlv at the belt front and back is one
| of the neateSt of winter designs LOT
school girls. A light quality wool, soft
| and pliable, is the best fabric for TINS
! style dress. 1t is especially charming IN
ron colored wool trimmed with brown
valxet ribbon in lengthwise rows. The
wa;st hooks down the back and may
| have a sateen lining for greater warmth.
| Green wool trimmed with dark brown
| velvet is another combination Tor the
same dress. while for more dressy occa
s;ons the same model is equally desirable,
made of light cashmere. pink or blue;
trimmed with black velvet. Sprlgged
taffeta silks make very dainty party
dresses trimmed with lace epaulettes
and satin choux. For such dresses the
