appropriate and comfortable, because
easy to slip OF and on over the dainty
evening bodice.
In the interesting matter Of trim
ming fur is the thing most sought after.
In fact, there is perfect craze for this
royal locking ornamentation, sad
when mixed with lace. according to the
latest edict Of Dame Fashion, makes
as rich and effective trimming as ono
could well desire. On skirts the fur
trimming usually takes the form of
bands. varying in width from one to
twelve inches, while quite. often the
oodices. particularly those hailins
from Paris, have a small pouched vest
made OF ii. over which is placed Il small
iabot of cream tinted lace, the soft
meshes Of the fine lace serving to bring
cut the beauty OF the fur beneath.
House and street gowns, with their rich
and varied trimming, continue to grow
more beautiful and elaborate with
each passing hour.
Material showing a rough and some
what hairy surface is used almost ex-
clusively for handsome street gowns.
while for house wear smooth-faced
cloth, silk and silk and wool mixtures
are most in evidence.
There is a well-defined rumor from
Paris that real empire dresses will be
worn this winter-not in the modified
form of those seen early In the sea-
son, but exact copies of those worn in
the time of Napoleon's reign, but from
what can be learned nobody seems
anxious to adopt such a costume in
this country. However, time alone
can solve the interesting question.
As each season approaches there is
always feeling of some uncertainty
about the continued popularity of the
ever useful and generally becoming
blouse. Some authorities claim it's
prestige is decidedly on the wane,
while others, equally well-informed
on all matters pertaining to fashion
able dress, emphatically declare it
will never die. That its requeim will
not be sung this season is certain, but
further than that 1 cannot say. With
in the week have seen some charm
ing models, from the garment of util-
ity to mysterious dream of lace, fur
and chiffon. Most certainly the cult of
the blouse is thoroughly understood
by the fashionable dressmaker of the
day who well knows that no matter
for what occasion blouse is required,
it must be as well cut and as well made
as our best dress bodices. Some of the
new evening blouses are beautiful be-

She doesn't go TO her clubs and

Louisville Times, she called on a dear

for the full skirt is not pretty or gen
orally becoming.
Dame Fashion evinces a decidedly
strong tendency towards shortening
the skirt to all tailored gowns, which
is an extremely sensible idea and one
we can all approve so long as it is con-
fined to the walking skirt, but accord
ing to my mind the skirt of our best
gowns, for grace and beauty, should
always be long and trailing.
Perhaps the most noticeable change
in fashion this season is to be found
IN the newest sleeves, though with few
exceptions they have not reached very
Voluminous proportions as yet. AS
the very full sleeve can only be worn
becomingly by the very few, let us
trust the present happy medium may
remain in vogue for many months to
come, but I much doubt it, for there
are always some women who try to
