Notes on the Modes for Ladies' Who
Keep Up with the Times
In Dress.


Velvet toques trimmed with fur and
fur toques trimmed with velvet were
equally popular for afternoon wear at
the horse show. Sable, chinchilla and
baby lamb are the furs most employed
in millinery. The toque made entirely
of fur has rosette bow Of colored
velvet at one side or one of mousseline
de sole, with two black ostrich tips. A
bunch of velvet flowers Is also very eff
fective. The velvet used for toques is
covered with rows of stitching. Feather
toques are a novelty in Paris, and are
trimmed with shaded wings.
Last seasons fur capes are made very
smart by sloping off the front edges C
give the round shape so much sought
after, and sewing frill of chiffon or
real lace on the inside edge. Ermire
capes are especially pretty finished in
this way, and cream lace with sable is
always effective.
One of the special novelties in silks
is taffeta in various pretty bright col
ofs, embroidered in white silk with
golf sticks and balls, horseshoes or
footballs. 1t is a foregone conclusion
that these are especially designed for
shirt waists to be worn in the young
girls kingdom at the various sports.
Black satin cords made-not covered
as trimming to be used like brad
are very effective in patterns or sewn
on in straight rows quite close together.
White satin cords are especially pref

yokes, collars and vests.
If you want to use some real lace
which has been slowed away in the
treasure box for years, edge it with
a tiny ruche of white mousseline de sole
and arrange it in bertha on your even
ing gown.
Jet is very much the fashion for trim
ming theater waists and evening gowns
generally. Black net well covered with
jet pallettes in pretty designs is quite
as popular for entire costumes as it was
last season, but it is made more elegant
than ever by the lavish use of cream o,
white lace, Venetian point being espe-
cially desirable. One pretty theater
waist of white silk has small diamond
design outlined with narrow jet en-
broidery all over the lower portion.
while above this is a fichu of white
chiffon edged with narrow ruf1les
trimmed with narrow black velvet rib
bon.
Elton jackets falling in short rounded
tabs below the waist line or belted
across the back and sides with the
round tab ends only in front are ex-
tremely smart this season. They are
covered with applique embroidery or
decorated in various cut-out designs
showing white silk or cloth through the
spaces.
A novelty in waists to wear with your
Elton coat is made of white velvet and
simply finished with ruches or shirrings
of yellow chiffon and has rhinestone
clasp at the center of the cravat bow,
also Of yellow.
| Round rosettes of black velvet baby
ribbon are used as a trimming on lace
evening gowns.
Cherry red taffeta is the latest thing
for petticoats, and if you would be
quite up to date have corsets to match.
Fancy muffs of velvet to match the
hat are displayed very temptingly
among the extravagant novelties. They
are fiat in effect and made with a double
ruffie at each end, but large in size. A
| stylish sable muff in a similar style
has wide circular frill at each end, is
lined with white satin and is finished
on the edges with tiny short tails set
on two or three inches apart all around
