Elton jackets have taken such firm
hold on feminine favor now that the
clan plaids add to the variety of ma
terial and when in gay colors are toned
down by plain bands of stitched silk, on
reverS, around the waist or sleeves, and
three brass buttons at each side give a
stylish finish. Black, trimmed with
crimson silk bands in similar style, is
striking, and in almost all high grade
waists for indoors undersleeves are a
great addition. Satin-fnished cloth in
white, blue, or all the ''pastel shades"
has also been pressed into service for
independent waists, and tucked yokes
or stitched flannel bands, or clus-
tiers of very small brass buttons, all
lend their add hence it may be inferred
that the winter shirt-waist is as firmly
intrenched as that of the summer
STYLES in FURs
are not decided until after C. c. Shayne's
opening, which demonstrates the fact
that Persian lamb is the most popular
fur of the season, and so jaunty and so
stylish are Elton jackets, or very short
Jackets with straight fronts, that the
money is charmed out of ones pocket.
TO persons who like contrasts mink
collar and reverS on the aforesaid jackets
is an addition, and when one does not
wish to attach collar and revers to a
cloth jacket, for example, it is made
separately and worn at pleasure. A
fashionable fur garment is either very
long or very short, the cloak shape being
particularly desirable with shawl collar
of contrasting fur.
SEAL COATS
are also short with a close fitting back
and loose front, or both may be box
shape. Medium length capes have no
place in this seasons styles, at the same
time those who have them wear them
The newest boa is three yards long, very
fluffy, and trimmed with tails at both
ends The flat boa, especially in mink,
rivals the long boa, and has cluster of
tails at the neck fastening and also at
the ends. Storm collars are the refuge
of those who cannot afford fur wrap
of any kind, and they certainly give an
elegant finish to even the plainest cos
tune. Many handsome ones are of
natural beaver, finished with tails at
neck and ends and those of otter or
sable are no less desirable
SHOULDER CAPES
boa and the genuine fur garment, easily
thrown off or drawn up, and always
conveying much style. Mutfs are large,
and special example in fluffy fur is
fiat, very large and with a flap at the
front consisting of an animals head
Chinchilla, baby lamb and ermine Ell
JOY all their usual prestige, and as for
merry. Russian sable heads the list. For
opera wear, long ermine, sable or chin
chilla coats are trimmed with lace and
gilt, the fastening at the neck finished
by long, plated chiffon ends. Fur trim
mings of all kinds are in special favor
this season, as strapping on seams or
panels, and as edgings, both wide or
narrow. Almost all
EVENING DRESSES
are of soft fabrics, as for example, lace
nets of all descriptions, very soft plain
silk in white or colors, satin louisine,
crepe de Chine or satin-tinished cloth.
Nets, particularly black, begin at very
low figure, and made over half-wom
tatfeta silk or a silky lining, and a silk
Eton, dotted with beads, the front cut
in point, and the sides and back in
three or four large scallops edged by
two or three rows of beaded gimp, a
shoulder rever extending all around
cut to match the lower part, a lace or
chiffon front, a silk velvet OF satin crush
belt, and a pretty evening costume is
the result, easily made at home and
largely from odds and ends.
