Fashion Notes.

Corded silks and ribbed woolens
and velvets will be very fashionably
used for handsome gowns, entire
street costumes, redingotes and wraps
this winter.
In the silk departments of Gotham
shops are exhibited some gorgeous red
lining silks, satins, and brocades, vivid
in coloring and to be used in gowns,
evening wraps, and also for fancy
waists and tea gowns trimmed elabor-
ately with black lace or chiffon and jet.
A gay and pretty coat for girl of
five years is of scarlet cloth, double
breasted and ornamented by military
frogs of black silk braid. A cape OF
scarlet velvet, under heavy cream gui-
pure lace, falls from a yoke braided
with black. A rolling collar and deep
cuffs of the cloth, both braided, COM
plete this pretty little garment.
Some of the new fur capes are made
very short and full on the shoulders,
and many models show fur ruffle
and standing collar attached to a
rounding yoke of deep moss-green,
wine-colored or golden brown velvet.
Other pelerines have inlaid yokes of
jet, bronze or vari-colored Persian
beads, or the yoke is nearly covered
with rich, heavy silk-cord arabesque
patterns en- applique.
Facings, revers AMI vests of white
or cream cloth still appear ON some of
the handsomest cloth costumes for
special wear. This is an easy and
most effective addition to gown, and
always becoming one. Some of
these gowns show the white or cream
portions bordered with rows of white
and gold braid; others are almost hid
den by an intricate arabesque or ver-
micelli design in hand-braiding.
White fur is used for trimming many
of the new coats, and silk, wadded or
quilted, is used for the toddlers of two
and three, instead of cloth and cash
mere. A coat of rose-pink corded silk
falls in full folds from yoke formed
by lines of ermine. The high, rolling
collar is of pink velvet and covered
with white lace, as the latest edicts of
the baby's doctor is that fur around
the neck will make her throat delicate.
In the lighter materials for evening
wear, and also in soft, delicate wools
like Henrietta cloth, cashmere or Wig
ogne, tucks are still highly favored.
Sleeves are tucked all the way up, and
the frills overhanging them have a
number of tucks at the edge. In
evening bodices of silk muslin, the
whole waist is covered with tucked
frills graduated in width from an inch
to the very narrowest tuck that can be
laid.
There is no doubtl that chinchilla
will again form one of the very popular
furs of the winter. 1t is stylish, re-
fined in effect, and very expensive.
Silk velvet Russian blouses, capes and
jackets will be very much trimmed
with this fur. On cloth costumes of
dahlia, Russian green. dark blue or
plum color, small pieces for various
portions of the bodice look soft and
dainty against clear complexion, be
it fair or dark.
A smart afternoon frock for girl of
ten is of bright blue cloth. The blouse
front is separate piece which is fast
ened to the shoulders by bretelles of
the cloth. A square yoke of finely
plated bright red satin and sleeves Of
plated red satin give a charming touch
of color. The edges of the bretelles
and of the blouse where it touches the
yoke in front are adorned by fine de-
sign in narrow braiding, which also
finishes the bottom of the skirt.
