an empiecement Of white lace over satin

Picturesque New Coats.
There are some very picturesque new
coats Of velvet and fur to be seen in GER
tain fashionable promenade avenues. The
coats are cut quite loose, sack shape, with
sleeves tight fitting above the elbow and
widening over the hands, where broad bands
of fur form very picturesque cuffs. Bands
of the fur are loosely laid upon the shoulder,

Severe and TaiIOr-Mnde.
I have noticed a tendency to severity in
the making of cloth dresses, even in those
smart cloth gowns worn at afternoon social
affairs. Most of them are cut in such a
way that the skirt and bodice appear to be
in one piece, owing to the skill with which
the bodice edge is covered.
The fashionable cOlors now most worn are
blues in all shades from dark navy to
morning glory and sky blue. The different
tones of brown, petunia red, reed green and
white are also fashionable. Black Is al
economy of its use, but because 1t is al
most universally becoming. 1t is also popu-
lar because by means of different colored
fronts it is possible to change the appear
ance of the costume very often. The plain
ness of a dark coat may now be relieved by
colored revers, painted or embroidered, ac-
cording to taste.
OId-Tfme Ornaments.
Old-fashioned jewels are very much the
fashion. Amethysts in the old pale gold
hligree settings are regarded as veritable
treasure trove Now and then one may
pick them up in some out Of the way shop
where curios are sold, but most frequently
they are found in old jewel boxes In fami-
lies blessed with wealth for generations.

ia brics seen in the shops is pole de chevre,

One of the most difficult things to find in

and inexpensive. There are very few wo-

not don a becoming frock for the evening

they make up. owing to their lightness. into
daintier and prettier garments. These
gowns rarely decolete. except in very
pretentious house holds. but the bodices are
as elaborate taste and ingenuity can de-
wise. The sleeves are sometimes of fancy
silk. sometimes of lace. but they are al
ways long when the gown is of cloth.
A very handsome dinner gown may be
made of turquoise blue cashmere, with a
broad plastron of velvet and jet embroid-
cred collar. The cloth is laid across the
front of the bodice in deep folds. short
fichulike drapery at each side Of the folds
being of blue silk. The sleeves may be of
blue velvet, blue silk of guipure lace.
About the waist Is a scarf of blue silk
whose ends are knotted with silk fringe.
Paste buckles ornament the heads of the

made with a moderately long train. the

deep folds OF the cloth.

that the editor ventured in these col
