Notes from the New York Sun on What
to Wear.

to Wear.
The latest novelty in fur jackets is
a jaunty little affair of broad tail fin
ished around the edges with stitched
bands of velvet, velvet revers and a
high, faring collar of chinchilla.
Panrte velvet in oriental coloring and
designs makes fashionable waist,
with cream lace vest and yoke.
Evening capes of automobile red
cloth are one of the smart things worn
at the horse show. They fit the Shout
ders closely, fall within II or IS inches
of the bottom of the dress, and are
made with the new, round hood of lace
and a high rolling collar, or with the
collar and revers which fastens the
garment we'll over on one side
Birds of all kinds are well represented
in millinery, but the pigeon and seagull
are quite the most stylish of all, and
especially with chinchilla, which forms
many a pretty winter hat.
Fur toques and turbans tipped well
over the eyes were the prominent va
riety of hat worn in the afternoon at
the horse show, and chinchilla and sa-
Bile were the favorite furs. Some We're
almost entirely of fur with a large tulle
or velvet rosette at one side, others
were combined with velvet or cloth, and
decorated with bird or wings, and
again rosette bunch of violets, or rich
dark red velvet roses was the trim
ming.
The daintiest little confection among
the trif1es of fashion is the new muff
made Of chiffon in three shades Of one
color, or three distinct colors which har-
monte prettily The chiffon is gath
cred up closely in tucks, and chiffon
frills edged with a tiny ruche are the
/ finish at the ends. A jabot bow of
/ chiffon, with orchids or violets, forms
a trimming at one side. Fur muffs are
I also trimmed with chiffon, with very
| dressy effect combined with tails for
! bunch at one side, and used as a
! frill finish around the opening.
/ Silver fox boas with two feet and the
pointed head of the animal at one end
and two feet and the bushy tail at the
( other, are decidedly the fashion, for
young ladies especially.
| button glace kid or castor gloves
are the thing for street wear
Hats with decided and rather high
crowns are becoming very popular here
/ but the latest advices from Paris as
sure US that it is the hat with the
I broad. low crown which is the novelty
/ This hat has brim, of course, tilted
a little on one side, and is trimmed
with ostrich feathers, or punches of
violets.
! A coat back with basque effect and
a bolero front forms one of the new
! bodices on an imported gown.
! CamePs hair cloth, very soft and
= f1eecy is one of the dress materials
very much liked for morning wear.
! The smart form of the fashionable
/ lace sleeve is a mtten finish over the
back of the hand, kept in place by a
very narrow band around the thumb
/ or one of the fingers. Several small
I buttons fasten this sleeve at the wrist
/ Velvet gowns We're a part of the
: dress parade at the horse show. And
one very pretty model in black, show
4 ing a plain skirt, had a wide empire
/ belt of black satin, a short bolero and
! an inner vest of white satin elegantly
/ embroidered in silver and colored silks.
The need of warmth in our petit
coats and the scarcity of room for
wearing the second one, have evolved
an extremely dainty model of French
flannel, closely fitting the hips and
reaching to the knees, where it is ex-
| tended to the proper length with a deem
silk flounce covered with any amount
of ruffies and lace frills the wearer
may fancy.
