Tailor Suits. Flat Trimmings. Styles in
Making: Winter Jackets. Millinery.
The tailorsuit is now a subject of par
amount interest, and no great changes
are apparent; the blouse waist, often
with position back, a Jight-ftting
basque, just covering the skirt band,
varieties of the Elton or the Norfolk
jacket, are the stylish models. Flat
! trimmings, such as stitched cloth bands
in contrast, or bands of the dress ma
terial piped with white are fashionable
and are not unfrequently carried up
each side of the front to the waist, and
points let into sleeves near the Shout
ders, with turned back cuffs in keeping.
A VERY HANDSOME SUIT
had for a skirt trimming three fiat,
wide, single bias folds put on plain, and
at every seam, each fold was slashed,
the corners rounded and edged by black
fancy braid. The waist was tight
fitting basque, with black revers dotted
with white, and the sleeves were trim
med with straps of braid and fancy
buttons. Black silk or satin stitched
bands are used on elegant black velvet
costumes, and on one example, length
wise bands from the waist to the flare
at the lower edge constituted the sole
trimming. Colored silk braid is often
placed between black satin OH silk bands,
to relieve the sombre effect. Simulat-
ed button holes of large size in black
silk bands on colored velvet, are very
pretty on blouse front. Buttons play
an important part in trimming, partic-
ularly in connection with braid. Stitch
ed straps attached by fancy buttons are
new and are used turning beth ways
across an open space, filled in by two or
three rows of fancy braid and narrow
black velvet 1t is now supposed that
skirts of fancy tailor suits will be quite
long, at the same time an effort is being
made to have them sensible and COM
Portable length, not to touch the pave
ment.

bound with S. H. & NJ. bias velveteen
and corduroy binding, which still comes
first, because of its durability and also
from the fact that it best protects the
shoes from wear. Its superior elegance
as finish, is beyond question.
WINTER JACKETS
are either medium or three quarters
length, the latter about half fitted with
three little shoulder capes, which are
very becoming to slender persons. The
former are very often trimmed with
stitched straps, extending down the
back, on the sleeves, with cunning lit
tie pockets at either side. Turn-down
collars are the rule "a fur boa supplying
the necessary protectlon) where one
cannot afford high fur collar and
revers, which always look handsome.
Black is of course the most judicious
selection, but tan On several shades or
gray jackets beautifully braided in
white silk are shown for young girls
Long tan cloaks, with or without fur
trimmings are intended solely for car
rage wear; however, some persons in
sist upon wearing them in the street.
Elderly ladies who cannot wear jackets
take refuge in circular capes, high
grade ones being covered with jet and
passementerie.
FUR IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR
in expensive millinery, and marked
preference is given to sable or chin
chilla, entire hats being made of the
latter, turned up at one side, a large
pink maline or velvet rosette attaching
the brim to the crown. Very small
pink and crimson dahlias were dotted
about on a chinchilla hat, with white
silk scarf knotted at one side In addi-
! ton to roses of many sizes, crimson
geraniums, orchids, and crinkled and
shaded velvet foliage are largely en-
ployed, the latter in combination with
! large roses form some conspicuously
elegant hats. Velvet increases in pop
! ularity, as certainly no other material
makes such soft and becoming crinkles
or folds. Stitched straps are so fash
ionable that they are used on hats,
! emerging from under the brim, and
! fastened with handsome Rhinestone
button or ornament.
