Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.


NEW YORK, November 10. 1902.
Somewhere In an old novel the writer
tells briefly that his heroine wore skirt
with a frilI. How that frill was put on he
does not touch upon. but let US trust that
1t was not in the intricate fashion OF the
present day.
"A skirt with a frilr'-no. the phrase will
certainly not do for the petticoat of 1902
so, unless acquainted with their subtleties,
let the modern novelist steer clear Of skirt
talk.
But to begin myself, the events that the
peplum and postillion tails seemed to fore
shadow have not been as disastrous as was
feared. In other words, the overskrt, that
much anticipated evil. is still awaiting the
will of woman. who disposes that her long
clinging lines shall not be interfered with.
Skirt draperies were woeful destroyers of
grace. and we have reason to rejoice that
the few Greek effects which appeared at the
beginning OF the season were quickly
frowned down.
On the other hand the trimmings which
effect a compromise between the perfectly
plain stage and the too-trimmed stage are
everywhere seen and becoming to all except
thick-set figures.
Take the improvements on the graduated
dounce alone. At one time this obscured

The German Sable.


An inexpensive and stylish pelt to remem-
markings of the real skin Very swagger-
ing short coats are to be found in this, and,
If they are not quite as elegant as the same
box models in Siberian squirrel, they are
at least deal cheaper.
The big soft muff, which covers the hands
like a fiat bag. is also seen in this fur, but,
unfortunately, there is no neck piece to
match The reason of this, the fur people
explain, Is because German sable is too
coarse and rough for the throat and IL
they are strictly truthful people they will
add that except to lie over the shoulders
like an ornament fur boas of any sort are
not now greatly in favor. They have been
found too heating, too conducive to coughs
and colds and so with the fur coats, all of
which have rundown collars, scarfs are
worn
Bigger and bigger grow hats. that is, in
circumference, for they are still as nat as
pancakes at the top.
With evening gowns white velvet toques
are in favor, with tulle sometimes covering
the pleats at the top of the big structure
and punches of velvet grapes with foliage
massed evenly at the sides. Velvet flow
ers, indeed, are much seen and the humble
perennialS of the door-yard bloom on the
proudest headgear.
Shapes in Toques.
On toques of deep blue or violet velvet,
phlox in shaded puppies, Is a frequent gar
nishing and brown velvet hats trail with
tinted autumn leaves almost as natural as
those on the hillsides. Crabapples with
a pink and yellow check; holy berries,
bitter-sweet and miStletoe also appear In
these velvet trimmings.

at the back as almost to divide the skirt
into two equal parts. This was found try
the fad to exaggerate the length and slim
ness OF skirts. So the graduated fiounce be-
came a thing of distracting subtleties mar
rowing to five or six inches at the front
and rising into points above this at
each side of the narrow apron gore. At the
back the old curve is still observed, but the
fiounce there is less deep than formerly.

have plain apron and founced back

French taste; for, except on stage gowns,
American makers have not yet ventured to
adopt the richly tinted cloths that Paris
has accepted with delight.
Everywhere we are told that in the French
capital gowns in colors never seen before
are worn by the smartest of the smart the
ball-like hues being subdued by simple
trimmings. Some of the bright cloth dresses
sent over to us have, indeed, no other dec
Grafton than careful stitching.
Simplicity Forgotten.
When these are worn one remarks that
the odd little Etons and blouse jackets
cover splendid lace bodces; or else waists
of silk muslin adorable with flmy inser-
lions and exquisite needlework. Simplicity,
in short, is only a phrase where good
clothes are concerned, for the most ingenue
results are often the most expensive. In
the ateliers Of the great French makers an
order for simplicity is accepted as permits
sion for extra expenditure. Not under
standing this one American beauty de-

In gown stuffs one notices a growing
catholicity of taste. Heavy and airy tex
tiles appear side by side, and figured and
plain materials hold equal place In favor.
Soft woods, extravagantly hairy, are used
with velvet or braid trimmings for many
smart street gowns. some OF the brown
shades in these comically suggesting the

trimmings of Bruges lace, expressed an

were enormous, suggesting brooches, in

coat, while a fifth, with pendelogues, held
the garment together at the bust.
With all dressy skirts the lining is in
drop shape, and 1t goes without saying
that only silk doubllngs are used.
The tendency everywhere is to avoid stiff
ness. produce lines that are easy and

prime factor in the Accomplishment of this
A glove-ike fit over the hips and an utter
absence of fullness at the placket point are
distinguishing features of the new tailor

pleats. held together at the top with slot
seams. Below these the uncaught pleats
fare out fiounce fashion.
Side-pleated skirts are much seen. with
many devices in trimming to break the stiff
lines. The favorite is always to simulate
graduated founce.
A Costume Model.
This effect was curiously accomplished on
a costume skirt of blue zbelne. Every
