The sash Certainly has the fist rights
among the young people. and the slender
women and stout wear jeweled belts, but
the Corsage bow and girdle is a sore tempta-
tion to any feminine soul, and now into Its
jeweled center and velvet midst knots of
artificial flowers are introduced. Worn with
the plainest little evening dress, such a
girdle both refreshes and glorihes it. OF vio-
let, pansy plaid shot and shaded velvet,
these beguiling "fXins' are made up and
sold in the shops, or divers girdles can be
literally Matched out of the savings of
former hats and costumes, and every woman
should possess one or more.
Here is word to the wise, if she is an
individual who finds 1t necessary to wear
long cloak during the winter and must now
have new one. Let her remember that the
moujik, or Russian blouse shape has eX-
tended it's influence even to the new ulste.s
OF the p!ainest Sort and aG well to the long
and elegant fur trimmed wraps The ulster
must blouse literally at front and back over
a rather wide leather or braided belt that
runs through loops sewed on in the region
OF the waist line. 1t can button double or
single breasted, and it's high storm collar
should be lined with curled goats hair.
Cloaks of velvet cut on this pattern, trimmed
with black fox fur and belted with jewels
are being made up for wear by the very
modish as soon as the sleighing and skating
season sets in
PRETTY FRIPPERY.
Added to the brooch in her back hair,
adopted to hold the short straws in tidiness
and FREQ from her coat collar every second
woman now carries dangling from her long
neck chain a gold latchkey. Some of these
futile and frivolously pretty trinkets, that
were never made to open any lock ever seen
by land or sea, have the hoop or the handle
set with jewels Less expensive ones are of
silver with enameled tops, and some of these
do turn in the locks of escritoires or open
pretty boxes where jewels and precious let
ters are kept Their purpose, however is a
small matter, and they promise to become as
all pervading as the heart lockes were and
the clover leaf pendants now are
Beside this fIippery it is plain es day
that within six months we will all be wear
ing our watches tucked into our belts and
from them will hang old style fobs, black
ribbon fob, with a gold or silver slide and q
bunch of fine old seals is the proper arrange
ment already adopted by many, and the jew
elers are busy designing quaint seals for the
Christmas trade.
Undoubtedly the very highest point of
extravaganza has been reached in patticoat
making by trimming those of silk, having
lace ana chiHon fiounces, with narrow bands
OF fur. But while extravaganza rushes to
one extreme. solid common sense has
brought us new and excellent moreen for
underskirt fabrication that Is as thick and
soft as satin and is charmingly decorated
walking its advantages are manifold, and,
as 1t comes double width, it can be cut on
the new pattern. That Is. with but two
seams, running down either hip. The shape
of this skirt demands that IL be cut cross
wise of the material, and because of It's pc
cular shape, 1t fits as snug ds u yoke about
the hips, but fares comfortably and grace
fully at the foot Such a moTeen skirt stands
the hardest wear and is trimmed usually
with tlounces of its own goods or plaid silk.
word also should be said In commenda-
tion of new and charming wool and cotton
crepe interviewer with gold and silk threads.
Its highly appropriate name is Zenanna cloth.
Its surface web of gilt and colored threads
on the cream background shows out in good
semi-orlental designs and suggests this as
a capital fabric for theater waists and tea
gowns.
There is no secret in telling that 1t sells
for a trfe over half a dollar a yard, and
combines delightfully."- with velyets of all
shades as collars and girdles. The making
of the new velvet collar however, calls for
a change Of arrangement The prettlest hook
round the throat to the left OF the chin, are
held very high by whalebones inserted on
the inside, and where the conjunction Is
