Hints for the Ladies ON the La,cst I
Dress.


Separate waists OF crepe-de-chine are
extremely popular. They are made ia
al colors and black. and may be worn
With skirts of any shade or tint. They
ire dressy in the extreme and are made
more so by the most profuse and COM
plicated trimmings Beads. spangles
md the most brilliant Jewels are
wrought into embroidered gnrnitures
Tor dresses and waists. The more trim
ming the better seems to be the idea In
this sort of ornapentation. While one
night fancy that the effect would be
somewhat startling, these materials are
10 iudiciously employed that they have
10 unpleasant suggestion. Above all
things in dress goods choose the quiet
and somber rather than the glaring and
conspicuous. The very best element IN
Ike community win be found attred in
The most modest and quiet styles.
A garment not unlike the old-time
'edlngote is one of the leading models
These wraps are made in double-breast-
ID fashion and are very full in the skirts.
The general effect Is that of a princesse
iress. Corduroy Is to be among the pop
nlar winter fabrics. Long wraps, redin-
gotcs and jackets arc made Of IL. Waists
and even entire suits are in demand,
snd capes Of various sizes and shapes
are Of this really useful and stylish ma
lorial.
4 very stylish jacket is close-ftting
and is almost covered with braiding.
fhe sleeves are moderately full at the
tops and braided from elbows to wrists.
The collar is braided and faced with yell
,ct. The entire front is finished with an
elaborate braid garniture and extends
NJ ound the sides 10 the under-arm
seams. and continues up the sides Ia
form part at the middle of the back of
the waist 20
4 stylish waist has the front entirely
covered with insertion and plain strips
Of material alternating. This made-up
front is quite full, and has collar Of the
plain material with folds of silk mingled
with the folds of the goods, the sleeves
nre quite full at the tops and 1T the
arms closely below the elbows. The
belt is of folds of the goods andsi'k al-
lernating.
Simplicity is going out of date. Fash
on demands the utmost elaborateness.
and the amount of material and trim
ming hat may be putinto an up-to-date
dress is something surprising. Even
Inexpensive fabrics are so combined
and trimmed that they are no longer
simple but Of the most extravagant de-
scription.
P,aids are fashionable. They are
shown not only in the regulation class,
but in French and fancy patterns. The
"Royal Stuart" the Victoria and the
Rob Roy are familiar to most persons
while the Gordon. Campbell and other
darker aud more sober plaids are spe-
cially liked for waists and cloak lin.
ings.
a neat and natty costume for boy
IS what IS called Russian suit. There
ure high shoes. long stockings, ful
knee trousers and q belted sailor blouse
The collar IS turned over and stitched
with a round collar and braided from
with vest. The sleeves are plated II
at the wrists.
School dresses for girls are made o
ail-wool plaids with velvet collar, cuff
and yoke. They are also trimmed will
narrow velvet ribbon or braid in row
upon row or in fanciful and elaborate
patterns.
Blazer suits should be made Of mod
eratcly heavy and rather firm goods
Fabrics that draw easily'and are bounl
to get out of shape should not be use
for blazer suits.
There is nothing more useful, stylis
and universally becoming than skir
and blazer. II suits everybody, and
general favorite.
Among the newest jaskets are thos
with straight fronts slightly curve
away from the waist line.
The skirts are moderately full bu
with nothing like the ripple effect q
last season.-N. Y. Ledger.
