Hyacinth blue and certain pale rosy
shade OF mauve is very fashionable
French color-mixture, and as a rule Is
becoming one. Milliners especially
favor the combination
The newest and most popular colcEs
for evening toilets are pale and golden
yellow. silver gray, mauFe, white, aaG
rose in many lovely tints.
Repped fabrics in both small and
heavy cords grow constantly in fash
1onable favor. Those in black in fine
silk and wool have all the handsome eff
feet of faille silk. Patterns in black,
with silk underweaves in contrasting
color showing family between the
Sords, are particularly pretty-black
and cerise, black with gold, mauve, ap-
ple-green and like contrasts.
Iridescent mohairs of heavy weight
are much used for travelling costumes
this season. Blue and gray, gray shot
with old rose, black with cerise or
green interviewer with tan color, make
good semi-dark surfaces for these dur
able fabrics that shed dust and do not
change color in the least. There are
also striped changeable mohairs that
make serviceable utility suits. The
fancy for fabrics with black and coiors
Sfvarious kinds interviewer has brought
out many twilled goods of different
weights. These make neat and pretty
gowns for matronly women.
Among minor modes we see that IN
place of the huge white sailor collars
worn last summer fashion now affects
The spreading collarette that is cut in
bne with n faring Medici that stands
out picturesquely around the face. The
storm collar, which is straighter, is also
still in fashion, and this can be brought
up snugly as a protection against wind
or cold, and allowed to fall when not on
duty. A collar of this sort, if well stiff
fened and, of course. well shaped, gives
a very smart appearance to the gar
ment it finishes. and the quantity of
handsome fur required for it is less than
might be supposed. Here again is an
opportunity for utilizing remnants of
fur and turning them to excellent ac-
count.
Many of the utility dress skirts for
winter, when made of single-width
goods, are of half-circle shape, with the
single seam up the back, while others,
OF narrow-width silk and other materi-
ais, have gored breadths and are full at
the back. Overskirts come slowly but
surely to the fore, and the long rounded
shapes are about equally popular with
the Vandyke or pointed models. There
IN no particular enthusiasm. however,
over the fashion in any of it's guises.
tits hardly correct to assert that
electric" seal quite equals in appear
ance the genuine seal" Even the very
finest Bondon-dyed electric seal is less
glossy and the shading of color less
iSeautiful than in the true fur. But its
substitute is certainly handsome. It is
eminently pleasing to the eye and just
as warm and comfortable as its magni-
fcent rival. am speaking now of the
finest grades, which are neither tawdy
nor communicating in any sense, and
these grades are superior in looks and
last longer than any of the silk-face.
