SOME WINTER FASHIONS.


erie dear to the hearts of the modern
belle is made up of a half dozen or
more tiny silver or gold animals. They
are fastened to ring and are supposed

chain, oftentimes jewel studded
No menagerie is complete unless
pig is conspicuous among the ANIMALS
The other animals necessary are mlnla-
uure elephants. COWS, sheep, dogs, tlg-
ers, bears. horses, cats and curious
logging little camels.
Russian stockings are the newest
Surely they are novel enough to be the
vogue The fact that they are double
almost to the instep is their chief PEE
culiarity But then there are other odd
features. These stockings are also two
toned and when correctly worn show a
neat little silken roll just where the
calf begins to lose its generous full
ness. The foot. instep and the stock
ing proper will be, for example, IN
bronze brown. The outer stocking IS
then in any color which will contrast
prettily with it-turquoise blue, violet
or yellow. After the stocking is put on
in the ordinary way, then the outer
stocking is carefully turned back and
rolled up until it forms a silken band.
The effect is that of a bronze stocking
with a raised coil of turquoise blue,
or whatever color the outside stocking
may be intercepting it just above the
instep.
These Russian stockings now cost
$3.50 a pair. They are worn with even
ing gowns and later will be smart
hosiery to wear with skating costumes.
The roll viii then just come to the top
of the high boot.
The vfnaigrette@ in demand just
now is the one which is most antique
in appearance. The dull gold or In
diam finish is almost exclusively used
for the top. Many of the vinaigrettes
have precious stones sunk in the gold.
Some. have the lucky four-leaf clover,
and others look like a small, rough
nugget The bottles are much the shape
of the famous tear bottles" and vary
through every cut of the glassmakers'
art.
Some are made of onyx or porphyry
and resemble a stick of sealing wax
surmounted by a square gold top. The
most gorgeous have iridescent glass Tor
the bottle and a high-pricer jewel for
the stopper.
The Fifth avenue girl is like. the pic.
ture of a Klondike belle this season.
She is fur almost from her head to
her heels.
IN the past the ntlSnl VI uOl
ton was to own a fur wrap. Now to

nothing To be satisfied she Fequires
a varying collection Of fur coats and
capea. cOllarettes and boas, with fur
hats and muffs to match.

of the past cannot begin to cope with
the craze for furs this winter.

The fur garment has ceased to be
clumsy and ungainly. It is cut to fit
the figure as smartly as a London
tailor gown.
All the newest frills of fashion are
copied in fur, and the new method OF
dressing the skins brings out every bit
Of beauty and lustre that the fur is
capable Of showing.
New furs have been put upon the
market in great plenty. novel fur COM
binations have been introduced, and
old furs are being dressed in a new
fashion 50 that there is great variety
Of colOTs and textures to select from.
Sable and chinchlla are the two furs
NEST in demand. For a woman who
need not consider the price, Russian
sableis the fur OF all others. The dark
