Ribbon embroidery is in high favor.
Doeskin gloves are worn with stree,
gowns.
Handsome costumes are much be-
spangled.
Yokes are much worn. They give
tbs effect of ali underbodice.
Ruches for the neck are very full.
The most stylish ones show two coors.
A striking evening fabric is canvas
with phosphoric stripes in metal ef-
feet.
Plain and figured velve5s are in
brisk demand. Velvet gowns ere the
vogue.
Chatelaine bags are of silk in color
TO match the gown, and are secured by
gold or silver fastenings.
Roman striped sashes are seen in
many width and colors. Some are
trimmed all round with ruche of
chiffon.
Silk underskirts are to be had in
Roman stripes. They should be ac-
companied 10y corsets in solid color or
pure white or black.
A lovely novelty is shoulder cape
for evening wear. 1t is an arrange
ment Of white ostrich plumes with boa
ends forming border.
In millinery, marten, sable and as-
trakhan are much used as borderings
for toques, turbans and capotes which
have full crowns of velvet.
There are some quaint Empire fans
listed among holiday novelties. One
of white gauze has steel paillettes in
clustering lines in the form of
of wee stars. A conventional border
is wrought in plain gold sequins. The
ivory mounts arc inlGid with gold and
silver.
Some of the prettiest frocks shown
are of gray plaids, made up straight or

and round blouse cut down to show

OF velvet, with narrow folded belt to
match.
A stylish hat is sailor shape in

passes around the crown, ending in n
bow in front fastened with jeweled
buckle.
Heliotrope in all shades is popular
for winter dresses. 1t is combined
with many shades and colors, most of
which are anything but artistic. Hello
trope is at its best with black, white, a
peculiar shade of green very like that
of the elm leaf, and various tints OF
yellow.
The fur blouse which will usurp the
place of both bodies and wrap is one
of the leading novelties of the season.
There are likewise fancy blouses for
very youthful wearers. made OF Scotch
tartans and plain vivid, reds of many
different shades, but somewhat toned
in effect by their velvet trimming.
Little girls are es fond of the Rus
sian blouse as the grown-up ladies.
Their preference in this respect is
gratified by making up delicious cos
tunes of this nature. Frequently the
blouse forms the outer wrap, and is
trimmed with dainty fur. A fancy
bodice is worn under it with the dress
skirt.
School frocks are n most, perhaps
the most, important factor in girls

Fish Which CIothe Themselves.

The ocean contains several fish
which clothe and adorn themselves.
The most conspicuous of them is the
antennarius, small fish frequenting
the Sargasso Sea, which literally
clothes itself with seaweed, fastening
the pieces together with sticky, gela-
tinous strings, and then, as it were,
holding the garments on with its fore
fins.
