the prevalence of high collars spreads
a general look of coziness, and when.
as in this picture, the outer cloth col
lar was slashed to permit an inner as
trakan collar to show, the appearance
of warmth becomes convincing. A
strip of the fur, too, showed in a mar
row vest, bringing to the Observers
mind all the warmth of an entire fur
under bodice. So though the strip
was all there was to it, big effect
was created by it. Furriers have
never before this winter stopped so
low in making a little fur go great
way. Russian green velvet was the
material of this bodice, whose fronts
were slashed and edged with black
silk braid, which was also used for
the tabs that gave military finish. At
the back the braid initiated a figaro.
At the neck there was gold clasp set
with jewels, and a similar ornament
on the hat brought both into the same
general scheme.
The winter rule is to pile up elab-
Grafton around the troat. With the
exception of swell tailor gowns, almost
all dresses are finished at the neck
with crush folds of velvet or satin,
and pleating narrowing to the chin
and widening at the back is set in the
top of the collar. The more flare you
can accomplish at the back of your
collar by frill, rosette and bow, chif-
fon, lace, velvet, fur, the more correct
in dressy style the result will be.

elaborateness, but when the list is but

casion that most of us will participate
in, and so too, it is rich enough TO ac-
company the best gown of the aver
age woman. In the original of this IL
lustration 1t is of black velvet and had
a Tam O'Shanter crown. In front there
was a big buckle, and at the back
were a bunch of ostrich tips, an aig-
rette and velvet roses in pink and
green. Mink fur edged the brim.
Now and then a woman is met who
insists that the best hat for her who
is to have but little headgear is one
that will be suitable for a tailor rig.
But these are too severe for most of
us, though they do now and then al

ahead with stiff pennant in the
breeze? AS like as not it's Just one
kink of audacity; the single flash of
the diamond, the fire spark in the
opal, the top note of the aria, and the
aggravating part of it all is that she

the top note without bothering about
all the rest of it.

your top note-a perfect hat; and the
wretched other woman realizes that
her gown, much more expensive and
solid. is all to no purpose.
Outside the theatre the same good
judgment will have like results, and
the simple promenade dress that is
put together in good taste will surpass
the rig of thrice its cost that has not
had as skillful treatment That brings
us to the gown of this picture, which
without being elaborate was stuningly
effective. 1t was violet colored broad
cloth. its fitted jacket bodice opening
to show fitted vest embroidered
with nile green. The fronts were
finished with black military braid
with buttons to match. the braid also
running around the edge of the short
basque. The high stock collar was
cut in one with the jacket and the
pointed cuffs of the sleeves showed
the same braid used on the remainder.

the vest constituted the top note OF
this rig, though they were Il harnio-

PRETTILY DRESSED WITHIN


In the accompanying sketch there
is presented particularly pretty
dress for house wear, made from a
checked wooden stuff in which red
predominated over green and black
lines. 1t was cut princess both back
and front, though to the bodice was
added jacket affair that reached half
way to the edge of the skirt. Over this
was white cloth sailor collar edged
with white embroidery, inside which
was high stock finished with en-
broidery ruching. The jacket fronts
were lined with red silk, and red
silk crush belt had a bow at the side.
A gown for the purposes for which
this one was designed may have a
train, if that be desired, and may
then be worn at home by the young
matron or young belle even though
she does not allow herself the dignity
of a train elsewhere. But the train
ed house gown must be carefully diff
ferentiated from both wrapper and
evening gown. The waist line must
be definitely marked, and the bodice
must be high necked, though the
sleeves may be only to the elbow and
the throat show little. Silk or sat

the nape of the neck. A pair of straps
hang from the collar in front to either
side of the middle. These straps are
of material to match the collar, or
they may be brilliant with embroid-

frilled all about with fine pleating
of chiffon. They hang half way to

WHAT GOOD JUDGMENT AC-
COMPOSITES.

There should be law against any
woman who in these days is not pref
ty to look at. Fashion was never so
favorable to the unhandsome. Any
one who will invest judiciously the
money she has, be it much or little
can be attractive, and just now she
who has done this is the despair of the
other women. The woman whose pur-
chases have been made on the hit and
miss plan, gowned, though she may be
in rich apparel, is simply fwamped
out of sight by the first damsel of the
other sort who overhauls her. And

and even plumes. The English tour
list shape holds its own, as it probably
always will. A stunning new notion
is stiff felt, like derby in texture
but not in shape. The brim is wider
than that of the derby, and the crown
either square or rounded and is finish
ed with a stiff looping of ribbon to
match exactly. The same idea is car

the beavers men wear, and few gro
tesqueries are shown in white silk
with beaver finish. They are trimmed
with velvet and Rhinestone buckles.
They are stylish, but perhaps little
bit too pronounced for us. The tailor
made hat should carry an effect of
severity-even though it may be trim
med, and it must always be remem-
bered that hat little elaborate is
less trying than one absolutely plain,
except to the young face. Hatters are
selling many kinds of tourist hats and
something of the sort every well
dressed woman should have.

in may be used, but elaborate bro
cades and velvets are to be avoided.
For the women who cannot afford an
entire dress for house use, there are
all sorts of pretty silk waists with
many varieties of fancy collars, and
these can be worn with any dark
skirt
The very latest color for Innings and
facings is not grass green, which is
second in favor, but is brick red. Fire
opal red sounds better. A gown that
shows it to good advantages has q
skirt of heavy wool green canvas
through which the brick red OF the
taffeta silk lining flashes. Above this
there is deep girdle of folded black
and white pleaters chiffon sparkled
with scarlet beads that just match the
lining of the jacket. The green vel
vet back fits close above the girdle,
and a collar of fire opal velvet is top
ped by frill on frill ofb lack, scarlet
and green. Tight sleeves under the
bolero jackets shoulder cap have
wrist finish to match the collar. Even
though it did not have fine quilted dust

with pale pink mousseline de sole, over
which was tiny figure of rich Rus
sian guipure dotted with wax beads
and paste stones and finished with fur
edging. The tiny pink satin sleeves
showed fur edging, and black satin
belt confined the waist.
The bolero jacket effect is as popu-
lar as ever and is secured in a lot of
different ways. For instance, a
gown is made with a loose front to
the bodice of a bright silk contrasting
with sleeves back of bodice and skirt.

Captain General is quoted as expressing
great surprise at the charges made against

great prudence pending the settlement of

General Weyler on record as saying that

from the capital. Havana, because they
hope to be recognized as belligerents. The
Spanish soldiers, the Captain General is
said to have added, are fighting heroically

of the eventual success OF the Spanish
cause, but the contradictory demands Of
