Fashions for Mid-wInter.


The wide sash ribbon is much
gowns. Hand-painted sashes, and
sashes with an edging of feathers,
fringed edges, etc, are seen. They
are tied on the left shoulder in front,
or in the back around the waist.
The red shades are popular for even
ing wear, while black satin, about
eight inches wide, is used on street
gowns.
Ii you have an old fashioned fur
cape, you can, by making it over
after a late Partisan model have
something very swell and dressy.
This has a straight, one piece,
zouave jacket back, stopping three
or four inches above the vast line.
The fronts are equally short and
pointed. 1t is sleeveless, with full
epaulettes of the fur. The fronts of
the fur meet, and are finished with
velvet revers. A ruff of lace at the
neck and a jabot at the throat are
very effective. Fur tails may de-
pend from the epaulettes and revers.
The newest material for winter
capes is Grebe, the skin of large
bird, showing beautiful natural gray
stripes, and a cape having yoke
of seal or otter, with little animal
heads around it, with the lower part
and collar of Grebe, Is the leading
cape of the season. A Persian lamb
yoke cape with chinchilla collar
brings out the beauties of both furs
to great advantage, or, If desired, q
Grebe or sable collar may be sub
stituted. Collars, collarettes as
they are often called, supply the
place of the genuine cape, costing
much less, yet very jaunty and
handsome.
Skirts of ball gowns are very much
trimmed, and applique borders,
fiounces put on in scallops, fur
bands or braids, chiffon ruffies,
plated or bound with satin, are all
in vogue. Ball gowns show round
necks cut quite low and very short
sleeves, in some cases merely two or
three plated chiffon ruffies, with
rosebud, around the arm, and rose
bud wreath may extend diagonally
across the front of the bodice.
Some of the latest Partisan gowns
are in Princess style. Only fine
figures should attempt to wear this
trying, but beautiful cut.
The new muffs are very large, and
this season is unparalleled in the
richness of furs.
All the new neck decorations are
on the ruche order.
Alpaca petticoats with ruffies of
the same bound with satin of con-
trasting color are very pretty, and
much more durable than silk.
Red Is the favorite color for many
little accessories of dress, and a
brown coat and skirt costume is
made very attractive by red silk
vest.
The sable boa is to be as fashion
able as ever this winter, and 10 tails
is the required number for the latest
model, which also has the head al
) one end.
Real jeweled pins will be much
worn in the hair this season, and
will also be seen on evening bonnets
and dress hats. The odder the pin
the more it is priced and admired.
