niture. IN dress-ups the establishment
may be as lavish as on any grade of fab
RIGS The most fashionable trimmings are
braids and passementaries, which are
available In great variety, and silk bands
and heavy laces. Some of the latter are
especially rich, yet may appear on the
simpler suits In to-day's first picture, for
instance, Is a shirtwaist suit OF tan etamine
trimmed. as indicated. with heavy cream
lace In medallions and inset pieces. AS to
colors In these stuffs delicate shades are
favored for all uses. grays. blues, tans,
greens and reds In light tints prevailing.
Black Is used much. too, but to be stylish
should be very freely trimmed. Black and
white or deep ecIu lace is a correct garni-
ture for IL. Jaunty ctons are used for
skirt and jacket costumes. a light silk or
velvet bodice coming underneath. Black
MORE jackets are worn over the shirtwaist
suits. and are many loose short and
three-quarter coats. Light woolens will be
worn for evening. too. the coming season,
and combinations of pastel velvets and soft
woolens are so effective as to advertise
their newness and stylishness.
The coats just mentioned never were
submitted In greater diversity. At present
there's almost sort for everybody with
money enough to purchase these costly ad-
vance styles. Later the more attractive
OF the designs now shown will be copied
extensively and cheaply Some will prove
not worth copying because of undue oddity
for that characteristic is present in the
current showing in marked degree. All
manner of fabrics and trimmings enter into
these coats. Black moire and taffeta silks
are much used for short coats that come
below the waist line. Unlike those of last
year none is semi-fitting. all hanging loose
at back and front. Some are box-plaited
and finished with handsome cape or shawl
collars. Others are palmer. showing pip
ing OF fancy braid. silk or cord. Dark
cloths are stylish for street wear. while for
carriage. dinner and evening the very light
est tints are used, white and oyster color
being chosen most often. Sleeves are very
large and dropping. If the bishop sleeve
is used the puff is extremely large and
usually finished at the wrist with an odd
shaped cuff. Bell sleeves are larger
around. sometimes are finished with bands
OF silk. velvet. braid or passementerie. and
again have one, two or three ruffies of the
goods. Skeleton finish at the throat is seen
now and then French dots and velvet dots
ornament not few coats. Black velvet is
combined with lace, net or silk braid. Crepe
de chine coats are appliqued with lace or
silk medallions outlined with black silk or
contrasting colored cord. Moire in all
shades is made up in short and three-quar-
ter loose coats. Ribbon. both in velvet and
silk, trims many OF these garments. A
few coats are belted in, but these usually
are on the Louis order. Two odd coats
were sketched by the artist, gray moire
sprinkled with black velvet waters, and an
oyster-colored broadcloth. The first was
plated all around and piped and trimmed
with bright green velvet The other was
stitched in white and finished with narrow
red soutache. dozen garments as novel
and as stylish as these can be located in
any extensive shopping trip. BY midwinter
