fuhness on TIE shoulder, as many fall
models show, although an extra breadth
OF shoulder is still attained by epaulettes
or ruffies on street gowns, and the possess
ors of slim arms will be glad to learn that
the unlined wrinkled sleeve of mousseIine
de sole will add to the size Of the arm
IN many OF the new ball and evening toll
cts of next winter. Silk brocades will
be welcomed with old-time feryor for even
medium size, and will be greatly in floral
designs. as roses with stems and leaves
Chlna-blue forget-me-not sprays on a cream
ground, lilies of the valley in natural hues
upon silver-grdy surface, the last named
indeed. will be most favored, as gray still
holds its own after reign of two sea-
sens. A novelty in brocades will be lace
patterns outlined with dark satin on a
light surface. demonstrations of lace spau-
giles, gold embroideries, beads and gems
Will be as much ever employed in the
elaboration Of skirts. bodices and millinery.
