FASHION IN A NUTSHELL.

Dark red plque gloves are for mid
winter wear.
Small satin collars have pointer revers
on the sides.
Black velvet collars with ermine edg-
Ing are popular.
Among the opera cloaks noticed late
ly was one OF black ribbed plush.
Accordion pleated China silk makes a
pretty dancing school irock for girl OF
twelve years.
1t is an important matter that the
little mans kilt skirt be worn without
petticoats to diStend it,
In spite Of tie fact that an eminent
occulist has said that every dot In a
woman's veil is worth five dollars to his
profession, dots will be more fashion
able than ever this season.
1t may seem homogeneous that q gor-
geous petticoat OF brocaded SILK
trimmed with lace is hidden beneath the
plain skirt of serge or cheviot, but such
is the dictate of fashion; it is elaborate
or nothing.
Green velvet waists, with skirts OF
violet cloth, are among the novel French
caprices in winter gowns. A tiny roll
of rich fur borders the skirt, and an
intermingling garniture OF chiffon and
fur decorates the waist.
The foundation for this seasons
neckwear is usually composed Of heavy
lace, such as Renaissance, point Arabe
or point de Venise, while the finishing
frill is made OF soft, delicate lace,
which is more effective for this pur-
pose.
A single holding flower which sp--
pears to be growing from the high coil
of hair, but really has for fonndatlon
q soft coil OF yevet, is the novelty OF
the hour in flower bonners. One seen
consisted of coil of pink velvet TO
which was fastened en- American
Beauty rose.
A novelty just imported is the even
ing coat, which may be worn both out
side In and inside out. 1t is made OF
rich brocade and lined and hemmed
with fur. A dazzling garment Of this
description is made OF heliotrope ana
gold brocade, trimmed with HUDSON
Bay sable.
All the smartest tea gowns now seem
to be white, and to drape the figure in
soft, indescribable folds, which would
make even an uDgraceful woman grace
ful. A lovely one is trimmed with chin
chilla, the front chiffon, the broad belt
embroidered il spaBgles, the back wide
aud flowing.
One of the most stylish Jackets OF the
season is OF black Persiana cloth, forty
SIX inches long, with loose double
breasted front and coat back. IL has
high storm collar and broad revers and
il fastened with very large fancy horn
buttons. The sleeves are Partisan shape
with broad fancy cuffs. 1t is half lined.
Nothing will be more worn or more
becoming for street wear than the
great fluffy bows which comes to us di-
rect from Paris. They are either Of
chiffon or silk Ind are edged with lace
or plain 10 suit the caprice OF the
wearer. They must be huge, however,
to be either stylish or becoming, and
must not droop, but stand up well I'M
der the ears.
At the opera white and rose pink are
seen 10 De the favorite colorS, just as
they were last year. There are also
MANY other delicate tints that are OF
uncertain hue under the electric light
and MANY OF these appear white though
tinged with color. Indeed, white is in
such favor that it is worn by women no
longer young, and is seen on hand
some matron as we'll as on the debu-
tante daughter beside her.
