or a girdle formed of a strip of velvet
ribbon. on which are fastened rows of
big sharp jet beads, and in front she
uses her best large silver belt buckles.
The little capeS are, however, the
matter of moment, and a row of them
are sketched this week for the enlight-
enment of any woman who wishes to
see how they are made. Fur, of course,
has always first place, but some charm
ers nevertheless are made of velvet,
preferably black or fancy purple and
edged for effect with ermine. If ermine
is not easily comeatable the velvet
capes are edged with a full ruch of
chiffon or silk muslin, and then a de-
pending flounce of the same adding to
the cape's length and whimsical pretti
ness.
Now and then a thrifty woman,
whose cape material is not above re-
proach, will artfully outline on the
blemished points of her velvet wrap
pretty patterns in metallic green,
bronze or silver spangles. and the con-
sequence is a delight to the eyes.
Lofty ear tickling collars, softly pad
ded with lace or chiffon rufties, are the
commanding features of these little
wraps and before these winter com
fortables are dismissed it is as well to
mention that with those coats. the Ia
pels of which turn back, leaving a
hands-bread-h of dress waist exposed.
charming little cravats are worn. The
idea is to cover this glimpse of dress
waists and not only are scarfS wound
round the neck and knotted under the
chin, but, more of a novelty still, q
stock Of pure white plated tulle is
fastened round the neck, over the dress
collar, behind. while in front is at
tached a big wheel-shaped tulle bow.
THE TAILOR SASH.
a sharp eye is necessary to follow the
countless manifestations the popular
sash is making, for a sash seems al
most an inevitable part of every gown
at present. First, we have the sash
that goes with the braided formal tailor
suit q tailor's sash is usually two
long wedge~shaped pieces of cloth,
faced with silk. stiffened with an in
terlining and decorated with braid.
Such sashes have swallow-tail or ar
row-head ends, and fall primly to the
hem over the back fullness of the skirt,
or beginning in two narrow braided
bretelles from the shoulders, pass over
the bust and hang out upon the skirt,
just inside the line of the hips.
Floral tulle, lace, ribbon and chiffon
sashes for evening gowns have been
mentioned, but two novelties have just
been put forth. One is the sash of
three or two mismatched streamers and
of any goods you please. The three
streamer sash is really one long loop
and two ends. of pink. white and blue
ribbon, or whatever three colors har-
monte with the gown on which it is
worn, or Of crepe de chene, on a white
dancing or dinner dress it is appropri-
ate to wear two-sash streamers, and
in their ends knot clusters of artificial
flowers.
Last. hut not Of least importance, is
the pretty chiffon, or ribbon sash, in
Roman stripes, that is worn like q
Scotchmans plaid or foreign noble
mans ribbon of a grand order. that is
attached on the right shoulder and
drawn across the breast to the left
hip There, knotted and allowed to fail
where the sash crosses the breast-R
is fastened to the bodice by pretty
pins, or is caught on the shoulder by
some old cameo or miniature brooch.
If the Roman sash is worn deeply
frineed ends are adopted, and gay girls
who skate this season, wear as mufFicrs
wide soft silk neck scarfs. bright with
Roman stripes and deep fringe These
are knotted like four-in-hand ties
loosely about the throat, or with house
