to keep her eyes wide open that
she may note every little changing vagary
Of fashion. Something new is coming up
all the time, and almost every other week
there is some brand new idea to chronicle.
In walking suits extremely loose weaves
are popular. Albatross effects are very
much the vogue, while wool grenadines
and such fabrics come in for their share
Of rniadi's fancy. These WeaVes are not
only shown plain. but are considered very
modish in fancifully embossed forms. A
variety Of pretty patterns, mostly in all
over effects, are seen in these and are
highly regarded by the fashionables. Col
ors run to solid effects and olive greens,
cadet blues, ETC., are especial favorites.
The trimming on these suits consists Of
bands of fancy embroidery in silk and gilt
cord. Then, too, self-colored silk cords
and tassels are sometimes added.
In cut these suits usually display a
plain skirt fitting the figure well, and
maybe showing slight flare at the bottom
with demitrain, but with little adorn-
ment The jacket, however, Is rather
elabora tely bedecked with bands of fancy
embroidery, referred to. 1t shows a con-
ventional rather full blouse and long
waisted front, with sleeves Of loose weave,
in a green shade approaching an olive.
The skirt is plain, with slight flare at
the bottom and semitrain. The jacket
Is trimmed In pink silk and gilt cord en-
broidery applied on the front and collar
and also forming the belt.
A very smart jacket is the fur trimmed
effect, taking a variety of forms. The
dark colored cloth Jacket is stylish

revers cut very long and extending down
to the waistline, where they terminate in
points. The collar may either be notched
or else continuation of the revers. Some
Of these coats are cut very full. Others
again are made tight fitting, the basque
showing postillion effect front and back,
Is one of the most stylish of these. Dark
colored cloth in combination with chin
chilla 1s particularly effective. Baby lamb
with er1nine or chinchilla is another ia
vorite, while squirrel and sable, too, are
much liked. >..a X. ..-.. .-l.v.:
Avery pretty little coat Of two furs is
a basque effect Of baby lamb, showing
broad graduated lapels, collar and cuffs Of
chinchilla. The coat shows the postil-
Hon effect both front and back and is al
together a very stylish little garment.
Speaking Of furs. stole and muff sets
in pelts are decidedly swagger, the fiat

gestion Of broadening at >the ends, being
one Of the newest favorites. This is held
together at the neck by silk cords joined
by ring that are terminated either by
silk tassels to match or else by fur tails
the latter being the newer. In some cases
the muf to match such a set will be Of
conventional design except for having
this tail trimming, row Of these be-
decking the mufr on the lower edge.
Ermine, squirrel, mink, .chinchflla and
lynx are most seen In: these sets. A very
pretty set is OF ernine showing the fiat
effect described The silk cords are ter
minated by white tails, but: the muff is
left unadorned.<. It is, however SO effec
tive in itself as to require no trimming.
In fact tails are not nearly as much seen
on these ernine effects as they are In
darker hued- furs.
The vogue of i light colored cloth has
reached the .of street wear and ef-
fects on this order are considered very
smart. or course, they are not as elabor-
ate in makeup or trimming as are the
evening wraps, but as far as general con-
tour is concerned they, simulate the latter
to a remarkable extent. The long coat
and the Monte Carlo length are particular
