Living Fashion Models

The modern woman can obey fashion die
tates only by keeping herself familiar with
the productions of the modiste and milliner
worn in fashions centers. Our Photographic
fashion models enables her to do this where
ever she may reside.
In Paris this season the rage is for velvet
hats, elaborately trimmed with breasts of
birds, style that is eloquently illustrated
by our reproduction. Rich chestnut col
ored velvet covers the smart walking shape
and decorates it in heavy folds and knots,
the principal bow being helped in place by
a cleaning gold and jeweled ornament The
plumage is from pheasant's breasts of pale
golden brown and ivory white, being both
becoming and strikingly handsome in effect
The extreme simplicity, yet air of quiet
elegance combined, is the result of the rare
taste of the creators.
We show also a Partisan photograph, the
model being furnished by Suzanne &
Barault of Paris. The hat is of old blue
velvet and chenille woven together, and
turns in a wide, sharp sweep-away from
the face in front. Bows of black velvet
ribbon trim the back while a panache of
fine heavily curled ostrich feathers form
high coronet over the brows, and held
together by an ornament of immelatim
sapphires. For woman of warm coloring
this is vastly becoming.
practical yet smart street costume, of
the new garter blue cloth, with a satin
finished surface, is in two pieces, the skirt
slightly entraine, and plain save for bit
of fancy braid stitched around the lower
edge and in crossed pieces ten inches higher
up. The little coat has the long front

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-"I am having a
touch of coral -colorcd velvet on my new
suit" said the tea-gowned hostess after
fitting a Dresden teacup for the last time
over her nose. My dressmaker advised me
to do 1t, and when she brought out her
tissue paper parcel in which the velvet was
folded and tossed out a yard or two of
the lovely stuff of the shade of rosy coral
called Neapolitan, l gracefully, willingly,
enthusiastically succumbed to her sugges-
ton. | am glad now / did it. because I've
been keeping my eyes open lately on the

as popular as ever turquoise blue has been.

future for this new shade is BECAUSE like

All over the front and sides of her founda-

apron, and ornamented about it's edges with
one line of black silk soutache running

The other woman, who picked the bones

The Honeymoon Back.
'She who wore it was a bride, | know.
Just slim slip of a girl, with head like
fresh blown dandelion, SO richly blonde
were her locks, and l marked her for
bride because of the proud unquestioning
confidence she reposed in her nice young
mans choice Of viands from the menu, be-
cause of the tender anxiety displayed in
helping her off with her bit of cape, be-
cause of the long, soulful glances he gave
her each time he offered her a choice be-
tween roast beef and mutton or peas and
lima beans and because of the very small
table they insisted upon occupying.
"It was all sweetly interesting and l was
sincerely pleased that fis fate had been
cast in the same lines with a girl who knew
SO well how to choose her trousseau frocks.
Then, under the corner of my sheltering
table cloth, | made this memoranda of the
dear little gray honeymoon gown. The tunic

body were of gray cameps hair true zinc

velvet ribbon on the underdress, yoke collar
and sleeve tops and this lattice work was
stitched down on a surface of ecru lace laid
over zinc gray silk.
"In the way of a home reception gown /

and appropriate frocks as this ! guarantee
she will never see doubt or indifference in
