casons which make up her winter gale

One nice warm, comfortable outside
garment is a positive necessity. There

where, and with care will not look
shabby for several winters. There is no
outside garment more comfortable or
protective than the long coat, which is
again in favor this year. Such a gar
alr of refinement and comfort, which
every fastidious woman strives for, no
matter how limited her resources. The
broad lapes and deep rolling collars may
be covered with just as expensive fur as
can be afforded. Alaska sable makes an
cloth coat nicely lined and well fitting, is
preferable for general winter wear to
some fancy wraps far more dressy, but
less suitable to cold weather. On the
same reasoning dark gloves look better
than light. thick shoes than thin, and
the Well-dressed woman is she who has
the good sense to select her winter ap-
parcl according to her needs rather than
to make a show.
1t all depends upon the woman herself
whether she can contrive to look we'll

Brooklyn Eagle. If she tries to initiate
some dressy woman who spends that ON

never succeed. Fortunate again is it

be the usual round one. draped to fit the
figure across the front, with jacket fronts
of appliqucd jet. a chance for variety, is
afforded by having a folded stock collar
and belt of velvet, which may be of diff
the dress may be kept all black. The
most economical dress to wear with such
a dress would be black undreSsed kid as
these would look we'll with any colored
belt or collar. The bonnet should be kent
all black also, some light airy affair of
jet and lace.
If one has leisure for sewing she may
possess a, very smart gown at small cost
which would be simplicity itself except
for the braiding on waist and skirt which
she does herself and which is beginning
to be so fashionable. The skirt, for IN
smooth fitting plain waist of light cloth
covered with braiding in an all-over YER
miceli design of brown soutache to
match the chcviot. A narrow band of
this cloth is placed round foot of skirt
and braided like waist. Any good dress
maker can cut such plain. simple dress,
which, when braided, will be effective
and pretty, but not expensive.
Some appropriate evening costume
need not be out of the question for one
who possesses Il nice black silk like the
one Just described. as she can manage
probably to have a second waist to wear
with the skirt. Anything so traglle as
the much-favored chiffon she does not
want. but some pretty striped SILK,
which will look fresh all the season:
This same waist may be cut with a
neck. which may be filled in with some
soft material when desirable. The SEN
