Last year both velvetcen and corduroy
were greatly in demand both for mora

were so fashionable as to warrant the dread

FOR RECEPTION GOWNS.

These, with the exception Of the black and
white the black, with white polka dot,
should be used fer reception gowns and not
for any severe style Of costume. IN fact, the
designs are, as rule, extremely elaborate
and require much lace, bands Of fur, and
more touch Of contrasting color In the front
and at waist and throat. The skirts are
long and often deliberately trimmed. The
coats are both long and short and Of the
most complicated styles, and for reception
gowns there can be nothing much smarter.
All the new braids and passementeres are
appropriate with these fancy velveteens and
the blending and contrasting of the materi-
ais and trimmings are most effective and
original.
It is difficult for any one but connoisseur
to detect at first glance silk velvet or vel
veteen in the plain colors. and the same de-
signs are used in the made up gowns. The
skirt, long, with two or three dounces. each
faced with white silk or satin; the long coat,
with light Innings and facings, and the trim
ming of fancy passementeries, are made
quite as often in velveteen as in>velvet, and
for reception wear one is as fashionable IS
the other 1t must be admitted, there are
many conservative women who pride them
selves upon always being correctly goWned
and who contend that the finest vctveteens
should not be classed with the silk veivets.
For evening gowns this may be the case, but
certainly nothing smarter or more attractive
could possibly be imagined than reception
gown made after the latest fashion, whether
the plain or the fancy velveteen be used,
and the cost Of such gown is not materi-
ally less than if made Of silk velvet, so that
objection is removed

THE NORFOLK JACKET.

Norfolk jackets are one Of the marked fea
lures of this winters fashions. and while the
style is, as rule. more becoming to youth
full, slender figure, it can be adopted to
figure Of rather large proportions, as the
piaits can be cut away underneath and
stitched down at edge so as to be per-
fectly fat. or they can be made of extra
pieces of the material put on and stitched
down, and then the long line from shoulder
to waist will give the effect Of a slender fig
urc. The belt-for unfortunately there must
ALWAYS be a belt with this cut of coat-must
he put on ut or above the waist line in the
back and slipped through the plait in front
