The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1899-10-27

The illustration shows lady's redin-
cote, something that Will be popular
for the coolest weather; yet garments
of this style are expensive and some
what clumsy.
Broadcloth deservedly takes the lead
in the list Of stylish materials. If a
woman can have but one handsome
gown black broadcloth made plainly
will serve for many occasions if bright
ened up with accessories for special
functions.
If the habit skirt is not adapted to
your figure, add little fulness in the
back, for word comes from Paris that
the present style Of skin tight skirts is
70 be soon changed in the direction Of
more graceful lines.
As to the silk and flannel blouses
there Is little real novelty in their
shape. and the enterprise Of their wear
ers seems all enired in he fOul-in-hand
necktie with floating handkerchief
ends.
The fancy waists are Of lace for the
evening and heavily adorned with lace
for use by day. Lace yokeS and sleeves
and broad collars Of fine necdlcWork
are what the most modern bodice
needs. and very many Of them are
made Of antique velvet Offset with ecru
or string colored Bruges or Cluny lace
More than ever are waists hooked ND
in the back worn by the owners Of
young and slender figures, and pretty
girlish design in bottle-green velvetyen
has al the upper part of sleeves and
wa { puclsered in close-set, cord-lke
perpendicular tucks. Over the Shout
ders fall collar yoke of heavy string
grey Russian lace through the beading
of which. at the neck and about the
shoulders, threading of black velvet
baby ribbon runs with cuffs of lace
at the wrist
A word about hats. Few shapes in
felt are seen, and these will be used for
morning and outing wear. The huge
roud flats are shown in all colors and
are twisted into all sorts of pretty
shapes by the deft fingers of an artistic
milliner.
y pretty purple fat was MANIPULATED
INTO toque, with a small round
crown, while rabbits ears" were cut
from the remainder. These were faced
with a satin of a darker shade. with
three rows of stitching of the same
color while two wings of the same
tint knot of velvet and a buckle
made a dainty cOnsummation.
Breasts are much used and many
stylish round hats are made of velvet
with single breast for trimming.
other hats are composed entirely Of
breasts, needing only knot of velvet
or bow of ribbon for garniture.
While many of the hats seem top
heavy for the ordinary woman. they
show greater simplicity in the ar.
rangement and the number of ma
! teriAls employed than for some seasons
past, when every conceivable color and
texture was heaped on one hat.
An exquisite carriage hat Of blue
gray mlroir velvet had no other trim.

Inc light but effective lace boas are
very becoming substitute for the
heavier sort of fur TO be worn later
on. Next to a MarabOut-feather boa,
one OF lace, is the prettiest, and as
those gold in the shops. when made OF
handsome lace, are expensive, they car
be copied at home by a deft needle
woman. Purchase two yards and q
half, or more if you wish one of tn,
dangling sort of round silk cord
slightly more than triple this amount
of lace, and then sew it round anf
round the cord, beginning always from
the Geptre of the back so as to revers,
the fail Of the lace, causing it to drool
In bell-lii;e fashion on either side o.
the neck. The round boa takes NOR,
lace than the fiat stole shape.
