New Toques and Trimming.

From the Millinery Trade Review.
I have described the way in which many
of the new toques are covered. so as to
form a plated torsade about the edge
Another way is to take single piece of
material the cross, fasten it underneath
the brin, bring It over the edge, and then
fold it about the shape, sometimes envelop-
ing even the low, crown in the folds. The
success of this arrangement depends en-
tirely on the taste and dexterity exhibited
by the milliner. An Alsace bow IN front
and two wings or groups of quill feathers
put on little further back, complete a very
graceful ensemble, especially when one
color in two three shades is chosen for
foundation and trimming.
Some few models of this sort have
large bird placed on the top of the crown
the left wing slightly elevated above the
right but this is not style likely to be
very widely adopted on account of its &C.
Centricity. For my own part, l prefer the
bird or it's breast plumage only, mounted so
to compose a roll of plumage conceaIing
one side of the toque's brim. with torsade
of velvet on the other side to balance The
breast plumage of the lophophore and the
comm IN pheasant Is in much favor, and
will replace the pastel-tinted doves plum
age SO in vogue Just now. 1t makes up
we'll with velvet Of the same color with
one or other of the fashionable gray blues.
Felt shapes with rings of felt of a con-
trasting color, adapted to the upper or
under sides of the brim and also shapes
with double triple or quadrupIe brims, are
provided by the trade in different shades
and tints. In these, as in plain shapes,
whether of smooth or slightly hairy felt,
there is immense variety of colors.
1t may almost be said that every fash
iOnab.e shade is applied to felt even the
brightest though the first millners show
preference for the more sober among
them. exception being made of some of
the rich crimsons.

Children Like Company.

From the Kansas City Journal
No child can be expected to thrive and to
possess that buoyancy of spirit so truly
essential to youth unless it has the COM
partnership of others of it's own age. We
invariably find that the girl who Is brought
up alone, who has been forbidden to play
with other children, is narrowminded. sus-
picious Of others and altogether decidedly
disagreeable little person to meet. Com
partnership rubs the angles off the Juvenile
mind, each child finds it's own level and the
quarrels $50 deeply deplored by their elders)
all serve to fit them for the battle of life.
Children, like ourselves, must interchange
thoughts and opinions with others, and to
see little boy girl playing alone and in
silence is to me a dreary sight. At the
same time a large amount of discretion is
required on the part of the parents regard
ing the class of companions with whom
their children play. A little unsupported
supervision will soon enable you to discover
the right sort and to weed out the undesir-
able ones.

A Tea Gown Hint.
The tea gown of the hour is usually made
of soft silk or of mousseline, lace and rib
bon. Pretty morning gowns are made of
lace and lawn. They are fashioned with
yokes or bolero jackets of lace embroid-
cry, but are otherwise quite simple, If one
may except now and then a trimming of
insertion or bebe ribbon. Many of these
are made with no ribbon or girdle to break
the line from the yoke to the floor. The
empire gown in its many notifications is
making its appearance and in style lends
itself successfully to this type of garment
a new Partisan creation of the tea gown
order is of cornflower blue silk trimmed
with plated crepe de chine. The collar is
of silk embroidered in white and edged with
plated crepe de chine, long stole ends tied
in front falling down the front of the gar
ment.
Some hint of the glores OF the autumn
social season is given in the earlier models
of ball gowns. One of the most magnfi-
cent of these is of white china Grape over
white satin and trimmed with an embroid
cry consisting of an Intervening of chem
lille and pearls, this latticework being put
on over a background of deep ivory tinted
satin. A band of the pearl and chenille
embroidery is put on in Il curved band
about the bottom of the skirt and borderad
on both sides with garlands of nasturtiums
and leaves. A short tabier of embroidery
and a band about the top of the bodice is
also garlanded with flowers. The satin of
the skirt is hand painted and outlined with
pearls wherever the design in the painting
will permit the combination. Garlands of
nasturtiums strung on pearls the only
sleeves with this costume. Pearls are sup
posed to be worn on the neck, and the
hair is to be dressed with them. At least
that was the way the model appeared. A
bouquet of nasturtiums would be required
to complete the harmony of the costume
and as nasturtiums are not easy to obtain
in winter this may be problem in some
neighborhoods. The popularity of nastur-
tiums ornamental flowers, however is
indicated by their frequent use, for more
and more each year society people are rec
ognizing the beauty Of this simple and I'M
obtrusive little flower.
1t is becoming the fashion for women who
are fastidious about pocket handkerchiefe

Winter Cut of Gowns.
From Harper's Bazar.


The fchu effects become more and more
fashionable all the time. One kind is call
ed the LambaIie and another the Marie
Antoinette. 1t is little difficult to tell the
difference, but it is said the Marie An
toinette has longer ends. They are both
made of chiffon. mousselire de sole, null
or lace and are trimmed with ruffies. They
are shaped so as to give the right breadth
to the shoulders without making the figure
too square, and can be tied either directly
in front or little at one side and finished
with rosette of ribbon, a jeweled orna-
ment or a spray of flowers. They are a
great addition to an evening gown, and
are especially becoming to young girls.
Evening gowns are to be cut in two ways
this winter-Quite off the shoulders or else
square neck. AS yet there are very few of
the V shape. The objection to the shape
is it is not a very modest style of gown
and when a waist is cut down off the
shoulders the lire need only be curved a

The Proper Cycle Skirt.

From the Chicago Tines Herald
For bicycling trips in Paris this year the
divided skirt is the only thing worn. 1t Is
convenient and incontestabiy more grace
full than the Knickerbocker costume. a
bicycle dress of beige alpaca is composed
of a vest opening down the front over
waistcoat to match, which shows chtmi-
settle of tartan cambria beneath it. This
vest is cut like a swalowtail coat in front
and has short baslues over the hips and
behind. and is adjusted at the waist by
white deerskin belt. The epaulettes and
corsage are ornamented with stitching,
The divided skirt is also trimmed around
with stitched band at the height of the
knees, which rises up behind The hat IS
a sombrero of bright beige soft felt, with
a garter of black velvet and bow in front.
Serge. linen and alpaca are extremely
useful materials for this style of costume.
The selection should be adapted to the sur
roundngs in which the costume is to ba
worn. 1t should be remembered, however.
that linen is only suitable for very warm
climates, which are not subject to sudden
changes Of temperature.

Paris. beautiful with that Intangible
charm which makes it the most delightful
city in the world to pleasure seekers, goes
on its way Indifferent to the fact that 1t
is walking over a political volcano. There
must have been in the temperament of the
al cient Pompeiians something akin TO the
lazy Indifference of the slick Parisians of
the bouleyards 1t seems 10 matter nothing
to them whether Loubet or Orleans or
Bonaparte reigns, so long as they have
their absnthe, their long tree-shaded ave-
nues upon which to loiter and the pretty
women to ornament the passing throng.

The wearing OF the coored liIen shirt

longer to be correct Folds of lace and a
lace tie are the fashionable adornnents for
the neck. and certainly very soft and pref
ty collars of that sort look. When white
shirt waist is worn, however it is correct
to wear with It q dark linen collar and tie,
while the accompanying colors must be of
white. The combination is a novel enc,
and for time at least will likely have
many followers, although 1t is rather too
capricfous 10 be permanently popular, since
the charm of linen collar is its cool, fresh,
spotless appearance.

this is a weatherproof protection for al

Black velvet Much Used.


Black velvet is seen in some form on
nearly all light gowns. Bands across the
front, in many cases, appear to fasten the
skirt Others, again, have a wide black
velvet band from the center of a high
stock, secured in front by buckle. The
favor:te way however, is to thread white
lace with narrow velvet and use the lace
as trimming. We see. indeed. entire gowns
made of this velvet threaded with insertion,
sewed deity together.
A beautiful toilet of ecru gupure has two
small capes covering the shoulders, the
one over the other. These and the stand
ing collar also of gu!pure, are threaded
with very narrow black velvet. A torsode
of black velvet descendS in from to thu
waist, while black velvet bows continue the
effect on the front of the skirt.

quite square and bands of velvet are put
on from the shoulder to the bottom of the

very smart and attractive fashion. These
gowns are made particularly charming by
having hows of different sizes made of vel
