have a considerable vogue later in the season.
1t can be worn by brunettes and blondes,
and proves equally becoming to each type.
Scotch plaided velvets in various clan pat
terms are used this season by fashionable
milliners on hats for youthful wearers. and
slight accessories of gay striped or chameleon
velvet are employed for hats and bonnets of
black or moss-green velvet for women Of
nearly every age.
A fashion note of real moment is the in
PRODUCTION of contrasting sleeves. Plaids and
brccades have already made the sleeves to
bodices of a solid and neutral color. A
brown silk waist has sleeves Of rose-pink
chine silk and an emerald green velvet sup
ports sleeves of faille in a faded Persian
effect.
Many of the waist-length capes Of mink,
seal, otter and beaver of other seasons, that
fitted so closely over the arms that 1t was
in, possible to raise them, have this fall been
made over very handsomely into full collets
that merely cover the shoulders. Some are
formed of the passe cape material alone,
others have new additions of Persian lamb,
%astrakhan or any suitable fur contrasting with
that composing the collet.
A pretty coat bodice for theater and demi-
dress occasions is the waist of a black and
white striped silk gown. 1t is made of black
satin-finishcd velvet, and the revers are of
pale blue silk, covered with lovely old
fashioned embroidery. The vest is of creamy
lace over white satin, with a frill Of edging
down either side, and the bel; is of pale blue.
The back is plain and closely fitted without
seams and finished with a narrow plated
basque.
Among the cloakings are silk seal pushes
in six different grades, each grade about
forty-eight inches wide; velour de nord in
five different grades, this thirty-two inches
wide; also plain and plaid-faced beaver
cloths, rich colored kerseys, natty boucle
fabrics. soft, feecy wool diagonals, French
90 sSiunarac fna ladias' cloth in pl,rn color
green, olive, gray, tan and black, checked
cheviOts Of English manufacture and fancy
basket cloths in various fine color mixtures.
Very full skirts, basques and puffed sleeves
are as decidedly a feature of the young girls
winter fashions as they are of those for her
elders, and If she Is just entering her teens
she can have them all combined in one gown.
The skirts are gored to hang in full folds at
the bottom, except for girls under 10 years
of age, when they are made Of straight
breadths plainly hemmed, and reach just
below the knee. The waists of these gowns
are either cut square in the neck to wear
over a white guimpe, made with a yoke and
belt and collar Of plain cloth, silk or velvet,
or with a plain waist, simply gathered
around the neck and into the belt.
