FASHION HINTS FOR. CRAFTSMANSHIP

Numerous, during the past few days,
have been the gay functions, which so
many Of US have enjoyed, but there is
sure TO be lull, which will last until the
newy year is ushered in, and in their hearts

rest, at least their parents will be glad Of

marked to me concerning her daughter,
do you not think it rather trying to go
almost every day to a lunch party, then
to one or more teas, and from there to a
dinner, and later perhaps to a theater
party or a dancer"
OF course we all are aware that this,
with slight notifications, is the society
girls life during the brief season. but
really it is great tax on even the strong

Iuile is so much more becoming than
any other fabric for wedding wells that it
is used almost universally. Quite lovely

bride, and most becoming would it be to
nine out of every ten women. Two lines
of gathers, closely drawn, hold it in place

gathers the veil is allowed to extend
about three inches. Orange blossoms, a

Il Driving Coat and Capes.

Not a few of our matrons are exec. lie Mt
whips, and quite enjoy driving for miles
when staying at their extensive ranches 8
or country homes, SO for their benefit I
will describe first an excellent driving
coat made in a box cloth of drab tone.
The strappings are of scarlet cloth. The
sleeves and pockets are treated in curl
ous way, as far as the strappings are con-
cerned, and round the wrists are seven
rows OF stitching. The revers are of a
sensible size and the collar moderate.

waist THAT much-desired tailor-like fit, "

On either sids are three appropriate
buttons for ornaments only, as the coat

placed near the left shoulder at the open

SO novel is another pink satin gown

horizontally in close-set lines, and between
the cordings are silver paillettes literally
scattered. The graceful bodice, slig htly
pouched II 'front.' is treated in the same
way but all the lines in this case are par

small festoons made of tiny bouillonnes

From Many Sources.

Every fashionable woman is interested
in any gown or wrap that emanates from
the Maison Felix. One of his latest crea-
tions is a myrtle-green velvet dolman
cape for a matron. Down the front are
square panels that are united at the back
with pointed ends; these drop from the
waist, and are frilled with black satin
The shaped yoke of Persian lamb holds
in place the fullness, which is gathered
below the shoulders on either side of the
central peak. The cape and square panels
are bordered with the fur, which likewise
faces the incroyabIe revers. An immense
ruffie of black silk muslin encircles the
throat.
This garment was designed to be worn
with a dress of fine, soft wooden fabric,
checked moss-green and light pink AMI

Jet and sequins adorn innumerable
handsome evening gowns of net chiffon

creation, a gown of black aet, is most
beautifully and elaborately EN- broidered
with darkly shimmering sequins; on the
bodice they are made if possible more
decorative by the introduction of motifs
of creamy lace.
Another net frock has bodice that SIM
