ICorrespondence of The Journal
Contrary to all predictions, satin still
has it's votaries, not only for entire cos
tunes, but also for the distingue front
breadths of princess dresses, many of
which are cut open at the front, and, as a
rule, the satin is covered by net, elabor-
ately embroidered in gold or silver thread.
Satin also forms an excellent foundation
for appliqued lace, which is used as side
panels for velvet dresses. A very dashing
white satin waist was cut square in the
neck. aud completely covered with an
embroidery of cut jet beads. A new way
of oInamenting white lace dresses is to
outline the designs with colored embroid-
cry silk. and this is particularly effective
ON blonde lace.
DRApING
Is the newest idea ID waists, and the
folds may cross at the front, the space
liiied in with chiffon, on they may be
straight across the front below the bust,
on Slanting, according to individual pref
erence. An elegant purple velvet in
dependent waist has thlee wide folds
across the front, the neck cut square,
with black satin ribbon straps and bows
across the shoulders, with long sleeves
and yoke of white chiffon, embroidered in
very minute jet beads. There are indica-
tons that skirts Will be fuller as some
have appeared with box plaits on the hips,
and all the newest skirts have large box
plait at the back. Tucks, extending from
waist to hem, are a special feature in new
cloth gowns, and as they end about foot
from the lower edge a hounce comes
about naturally, in which squares or
wheels of heavy ecru lace are inserted with
excellent effect.
KEEN BLASTS
render furs the important topic of the
hour. What Nature provides against
cold must always take precedence over
any substitute, SO the we'll to- do and rich
things must have variety, take advantage
of c. c. Shayne' January offers and pnr
chase at Il reduction. This the more SO
since his reliability is beyond question
and a fact which cannot be too strongly
emphasized as in fur the buyer must de-
pend upon the rect.tude OF the dealer.
SMALL FURs
now WON over jackets. will be extremely
desirable during summer at country re-
sorts. Tie variety is great, and one may
choose among short capes, collarettes,
boas OF Nictorines in seal. Persian or baby
lamb, chinchilla, mink, otter or sable,
nor must the fluffy fox furs be omitted,
because they are particularly fashionable,
either as collarettes or as the entire an
imal. Charmingly coquettish collarettes
show adr0it fiuishings of heads, claws and
tails. OF again there are elegantly simple

the union of two fuls in the one garment
Is very fleQuent-revers on jackets being
almost always in combination fur.
THE EXTENT TO WHICH
imitation jewel1y is row worn astonishes
one, the best department stores show im-
tation collars, chains, brooches, etc,
hich are purchased by persons of good
standing, and even the rich often wear
these articles in preference to real jewelry.
Long neck chains are in extreme favor,
and are sometimes tied in loops just be
low the throat, imparting dressy appear
ance to a plain waist. Genuine diamond
OF pearl ropes ornament the corsages of
millionaire's daughters, and aqua marine
is next in favor, or gold chains set with
stones at regular spaces are very beauti-
full, and less expensive than one formed
entirely of stones.
BRACELETS AND WATCHES
present no special novelties but there is
great choice in brooches Circlets of stones,
crescents on the same order, miniatures
bordered with stones, enameled flowers in
thousand colorings, supplemented by
diamond sparks, single amethysts set
around with small pearls or diamonds; in
fact any fine gem bordered by smaller
ones is in high esteem. Dull finish for
brooches is new, and head cut out in
cameo style on dull finish background is
about the only genuine novelty.
