plaid IN red, and the fergus plaid Ii
green being the two most popular de-
signe, unless it be the Westminster
browns, which are the rage In London;
they vary from yellowLbrown to the
greenish shades of the same color.
Brown is coming violently into style
and it is no wonder; for no color per-
mits of so much license in treatment
nor Is produced in such a variety of
shades. From the tan and cafe au lait,
or milky-brown, to the invisible browns
there are hundred shades, each so
different from the others that 1t might
belong to a different family. The
bronze or greenish-brown is the newest
OF all and the most effective
The new skirt material r properly
described as novelty goods. They
have a groundwork of dark brown into
which is woven all the tiny bits of
color of the rainbow. Flecks of gera-
mum, OF sky-blue, of light pink, and
of delicate green, are scattered through
the weave. For service there Is moth
ing to equal this material. From a
vulgar standpoint, it may be argued
that it is impossible to spot such
goods, as it is already thoroughly spot
ted; and from the standpoint OF fade
it may be said that the material will
not show the marks of the sun, as it
is impossible for the observer to cal
culate which were the natural parts and
which the faded ones produced by the
finger of the sun. With such service
able and fashionable material as this
the economical woman cannot but be
enamored.
Fashions are so bewitching now that
one must dwell upon them, and more
especially upon their new phases. The
fashion of lining the tunic, while not
strictly a novel one, is carried out in
many new ways. A novelty goods of
bronze brown, conspicuously 1ecked
with robin redbreast tufts, tiny, yet
brilliant, formed the tunic Of a skirt
of the same color. The tunic was faced
with sapphire blue velvet and lined
throughout with taffeta.
Hats are so closely related to skirts
that they must be mentioned together.
The crown Of the hat, if not a skirt
material, matches it in color and in
trimming as closely as possible. A hat
with braided crown is worn with a
braided skirt and a hat with trimming
of applique is worn with a skirt SINH
larly decorated. The coat may be Of
plain black or Of fur, plain and unin-
teresting, except as value atteches it
self to it, yet the costume is modish,
because the hat and skirt match so
well.
In the shape of hats there is a de-
vided tendency toward the English
walking shapes and it's notifications,
the Minerva, the Langtry, and the I'M
creased Fedora. The distinguishing
characteristic OF all Is IH0 upTOlllHS
side, the downward tip in front and
back, and the broad effect across the
face. A hat of this kind transforms
an irregular face into a classic n and
makes a classic face even more SYM
metrical.
The muff is not small, if it be a
made muff, and it is fashioned of ma
terial of match the hat. With muff and
hat alike in color and material, and
both of them matching the skirt in
tone, the costume is complete as to the
keynote of harmony-color and mater
ial.
The wearing Of an immense chrysan-
themum in the jacket of a color to
match the hat and muff is the very
latest vagary of fashion. The chry-
santhemum is not necessarily a natural
| one, but may be of silk.
