made or narrow black lace, put on
to tiny ruffles of white mousseline
de sole. These ruffles are so many,
so full and set so close together that
they make a boa quite as round as
those of ostrich feathers. The ends
of the mousseline boa are long, of
the gauzy stuff, accOrdion-pleated.
The silken mousseline in delicate
colors and trimmed with white lace
or frills of the narrowest and finest
footing" are very charming ad-
juncts of toilet for the debutante.

Styles of the Season.
Fur will edge cloth and silk gowns
and will take a conspicuous place
among the popular trimmings for
evening gowns. Russia is still the
mote in Fashions eye. And in Rus
STA there is no limit to the use of fur.
Old-fashioned shawls of white or
black lace are draped apron fashion
over handsome skirts of satin, and
form amodish style of trimming for
the skirts of evening gowns.
Velveteen is used in the makeup
of some very smart Russian blouses
that are trimmed at wrist, neck and
side with fur. Bronze-greeu vel
veteen, trimmed with otter fur, or
Russian sable, is the favorite,
Odd arrangements of frilling, lace,
net, fur braid, velvet, fringes, ETC.,
are very much used on bodices,
redingotes, and princesses dresses
fastened at the left side; and a very
dressy appearance is impaired to
otherwise simple gowns by the ad-
ditlOn of these trimmings.
Silk sashes with embroidered or
frlnged ends are very much in
vogue, or will be as the season ad-
vances, for they have been reintro
duced by the leading designers of
styles, both here and abroad. If you

Jewels that was told had cost the
modest sum of 800. This but proves
that the sash will be again a well

The OWLS head, with solemn eyes
and fluffy breast, is smart trim
ming for toques. Pheasants' tails
are also a very stylish finish for
English round hats. White lace
wells in point applique will be ex-
tensively used to soften felt brims.
The French wedding gown is a per-
fectly plain affair of satin or pOplin,
often without a bit of trimming
save a jabot of lace and lace veil,
with the diamonds presented by the
groom.
Simple and all white bridesmaids

Gold and silver embroideries are
being used rather extensively or
imported gowns, trimmings that are
effective on occasions, but which
should be avoided on toilets that are
to be worn in the light of day out Of

carriage gowns, they are effective
