Millinery Flowers: Trimmings: Gilt: Out
Door Garments: Answers:

mowers In millinery, mas reacneu l1mlta-
tions quite unusual for winter and
while exaggerated feather adornments
lose nothing in favor they are closely
rivalled by floral an d leafy garniturs,
the former not unfrequently placed in
long, sweeping SUGGESTIONS under or
upon brims and for such purpose and
for flower trimming in general, nothing
competes with roses that are more
popular than at any previous time. Iu
view of such fact, particular prestige
attaches to immense single roses, at
tanning often a twelve inch diameter:
these are used for crowns and they
come in many colorings, a single show
case at Lord & Taylor's containing a
Display
of eight, respectively in pale yellow,
pink, petunia, crimson, bright yellow,
bright pink, gray and lastly black with
yellow centre, this being particularly
stylish and equally adapted to ayouth-
full or elderly wearer. An elegant hat
displayed a single pink rose as the
crown, with a turned up brim of pale
gray felt trimmed with narrow black
velvet ribbon, gilt and black lace and
here it can be added that black velvet
ribbon is fashionable as ever, while gilt
is SO very prominent both in millinery
and on gowns, as to merit particular
mention. The size of hats causes a
continuance widely dressed front hair,
with back hair high or medium and
ladies will be glad to know that won
derful little comb seen in the shops,
the New Century Hair retainer, keeps
the short hair at the back hitherto a
perpetual annoyance, in complete
check so that none can hang loose.
in bands sold by the yard, gives finish
in many ways and completes with black
velvet ribbon as a neck tie, with ac-
companying gilt belt about the waist.
Materials showing gilt figures and plia-
BILE frabics entirely in gilt as well, are
used for combinations, or made into
hats. Gilt lace or yellow lace showing
some gilt, are also in great favor.
Out Door Garments.
New jackets are very short, with fly
front or double breasted and are the
leading style in out door garments,
since capes are worn rather as a neces-
sity than otherwise. This is because
stout persons always look badly in
jackets: in comparison with capes,
they are inconvenient for putting on or
taking off and the three-quarter and
long coats shown are open to many OBJ
jections for street wear. With long
skirts, they are unmanageable and in
contour, they do not harmonize with
skirts: really are therefore only suit
able for carriage wear and the average
New Yorker cannot afford much car
riage hire. With short skirts and for
slender people jackets are the best and
by far most frequent choice.
'Mrs. T." In reply to your inquiry
the DIR. DIR. Deimel un-
derwear, it can be stated on the au-
thority of prominent physicians that it
is hygienic, because being of porous
linen, it instantly absorbs and eliml-
mates the waste matter constantly
thrown off by the skin, thus keeping it
in dry, warm and healthy condition.
Wool is valuable for outer wear, bat
should be worn next the body, because
it does not take up and carry off skin
impurities which are so fruitful a cause
of disease.
"Constantia. Boas are extremely
fashionable and in variety of mater
ial, tulle, chiffon or thin silk and for
these styles, baby black velvet ribbon
is in most request because giving body
and in pale colors or white, an agree
able and becoming contrast. Fall boas
are preferably in marabout and coz
feathers combined. Some are entirely
in COG feathers, but they lie fiat. Os-
trich boas are also stylish as ever and
come in black or colors. AS an evil
dence of exaggeration, may be quoted
a boa of white talle showing loops of
baby black velvet ribbon at frequent
intervals, while in front are two very
long ends of figured chiffon edged with
narrow tulle ruffles and pendant also
on each side, are five long ends of baby
black velvet ribbon having loops of
the same in clusters at intervals.
