like a full-blovn rose: others look like
a big fluffy white SNOWFALL.
EQuall effective are the lace choux.
The prettiest and newest of these are
hecked with bits of mother of pearl, and
are charming to wear with an evening
bodice A full lace chou with the edges
of the lace bordered with a narrow rim
Of dOwny marabout in either white,
faint pink or delicate blue is quite ire
sistible to the woman who is fond OF
the fluffy in dress. Net choux. both IN
black and white, threaded with narrow
velvet ribbons, are also new.
A net chou which is decidedly Frenchy
in effect is a fluffy affair of black net
ruffies, each ruffie threaded with mar
row velvet ribbons in baby blue and
soft pink. Another odd chou is gray
net sprinkled with tiny steel beads and
threaded with canary colored velvet rib
bon in the narrowest width.
Perhaps the increasing variety in
choux comes from the fact that the
chou, whether of ribbon, lace or chif-
fon, is no end useful to the modisl
woman. She wears the chou to give a
new touch to the corsage of her bodice.
She wears it to fasten her belt at the
back or the front. She uses it to catch
up the ~draperies of her lace or net gown.
1t varies the effect of her hat OCCASION
ally, and not ~infrequently adorns her
muffs. And when she wears it with her
silk waist or evening bodice it acts as
a Sachet, as well as a corsage ornament.
In the center of the chou is skillfully
hidden away the tiniest of bags fra
grant with the Wearer'S favOrite Sachet.
The bag is concealed beneath a wee
chiffon or lace rosette.
Fads and Fancies.
Narrow bands of black or white vel
vet set with steel nail heads or brads,
or beads, or the very effective bands of
gold wire set with turquoise or coral
beads make excellent straps and deco
rations for stocks.
Velvet gowns, black and colored, are
having a tremendous popularity, and
vary from the most gorgeous silk vel
vets to the liberty and domestic vel
v~eteens, which look quite as pretty and
wear better.
The newest sleeve is the Turkish,
tight fitting at the shoulder, and usually
confined to the upper part of the arm
by embroidery or braiding, then widen
ing out into a very wide shape toward
the wrist, o-verhanging the narrow, tight
wristband into which it is set.
Deep cape collars of lace are a spe-
cial feature OF many of the winter
wraps of velvet, fur, or expensive cloth,
and rich, heavy designs. like irish
crochet, Flemish Venetian, and Russian
gulpure, are ii 1avorite choice.

I haired white felts and beavers, softened
beneath the brim with tulle and lightly
raped with panne lace, or plumes, and
sometimes with touches of ermine.
The newest belts are fastened with a
button in gold, silver or gem, such as
turquoise. Gun metal belts are a nov
city and the snake belt lis one of the
fancies of the moment. The latter come
in gold and silver and their effective
ness is enhanced if worn over velvet.
Fads in Jewelry.
Birds and butterflies are the most
popular designs for most of the dainty
bits of jewelry that give the cashet
of SmartneSS to elaborate gowns. Per
haps the birds are a little more sought
after than the butterflies. Few there
are, indeed, of the feathered tribe that
have escaped imitation.
Even the ungainly body of the young
snipe is set up in tiny rose diamonds to
serve as a catch pin about an inch long.
The English pheasant, with long tail
feathers, is a favored and graceful de-
sign in precious stones. J.yre birds are
reserved for the hair. and behind their
spread tails are placed high. soft
aigretteS. These birds are made both
in rhinestones and in diamonds and
cost, therefore, upward from SIS to a
kings ransom. Two, three or five dain-
ty little swallows crossing on the wing
a parallel bar is not exactly a new de-
sign, but it now is having a second
wave of popularity, while small pea
cocks, altogether new. are among the
iIOSl gorgeous OF the D1rO ornaments
When not made up of stones these are
done in exquisite enamel, each eye of
the magnificent tail being wonderfully
true to life. Ducks are not forgotten
in this reigning passion for birds. Near
ly always, however. they are made of
enamel on either gold or silver, their
highly colored necks and heads gleam-
ing in the light most brilliantly. Pouter
and fantail pigeons are among the very
attractive and quaint of the new de-
signs.
With the butterflies also there is
much variety in the style of makeup,
and while the handsomest ones are
costly, there are others very pretty that
come within the range of nearly all.
But always it must be remembered that
it takes a certain type of woman, a
light, fiower-like looking creature, to
wear well a butterfly. A fetching way
to wear any of these ornan ents is as
clasps for some of the numerous chains
which are hung about the neck.

with special mention.
AS a precautionary measure in the
event the grand jury does not medi-
tate long and profoundly on the case of
Alice Brown, colored, charged with steal
ing clothes, a verdict OF twelve
months was entered on the court records
as a provisional and tentative expression
of Justice Johns desire that the exam
pie of extremely short periods of don,cs-

standings OF this character, may not be-
come contagious.
After the grand jury has studied this
case 1t will be an easy step to pass to
