SOCIETY WOMEN IN PARIS NOVELTIES DISCUSSING

involve excessive expenditure. The pos
session of a pair of black brocaded silk
corsets, Powered in pink and blue, will
enable us to wear petticoat of the same
material in the daytime and plain blue
or plain glace silk in the evening-always
supposing that expenditure be an OBJ
ject; for, if not then would recommend
white satin brocaded corsets for the
evening, over petticoat of white glace,
much frilled.
A MIDWINTER TROUSSEAU
The exquisite models described above
are in many of the outfits for January
brides. A rousseau just finished gives
valuable hints in regard to other details.
For the bridal gown itself brocade is still
greatly in favor. The going-away dress
in this instance was of the old Parma
violet shade, but made in a woollen
fabric, having the appearance of being
poudre-that is, slightly flecked with
white. It was made with a bodice, tight
fitting at the back, little loose in front,
where it opened to display rich piece of
plain mauve brocade, bordered on either
side with hand wrought embroidery The
accompanying jacket was lined with the
same brocade, and had two long ends
meeting down the center of the front,
worked with black and gold braiding A
Russian gold belt encircled the waist,
and the collar was of double Russian
sable, standing up very high; the skirt
was quite plain, but, after the fashion of
the day, was almost more beautiful in
side than out, lined with plain mauve
shot silk and edged with a double ruche.
Another pretty model was a gown Of
royal blue cloth, the bodice of plisse
crepe de Chine, trimmed with chiffon and
! Brussels point de gaze. The outdoor
| jacket was in the moujik style, embroid-
cred in steel, heliotrope and pearls. II
had a deep collar at the back; tbs
sleeves We're of the bishop form, the
cuffs trimmed with the same embroidery
the belt displaying cut-steel slides. The
embroidered toque was trimmed with
sable.
FLOWER COCKADES
Despite the Partisan call for flowers
New York has been rather SLOW in re-
spending. They are coming to the front
now, however, as cockades in velvet
toques. The chief turn is toward violet
those marvellous flowers that people
never seem to tire of. This time the
whole toque is violet in color, with {
reddish-purple tinge. Never were Sc
many wings, quilts, tails and breast!
worn as there are today. Pheasant i!
here to stay, and wholesale millinery
stores predict revival next fall of thi!
catchy idea. This is a hint it would bt
we'll to take advantage of.
BAYADERE EEFECTS
Many new designs have made their ap
pearance. The majority consist of un
dulating lines produced by jacquard
weaving. While these, however, at the
beginning showed only continuous lines
they have now been developed into al
endless variety of designs, some cover
ing the ground entirely, while Others
show more ground covered with small
spots in the color of the filing. The bay
adore fashion has evidently not reached
its full development yet, and is one O
the features which will be taken up dur
ing the coming season.
