placed by stole shaped scarfs similar
to those worn by our grandmcthers.
The new muffs are Absolutely without
stiffening and present fiat shape.
The more dressy are made with mar
row top, widening out gradually. Long
boas of black and cinnamon bear are
both inexpensive and fashionable.
Sable fox is another fur which Is
within the means of those who have
small purses. 1t is lustrous and very
handsome.
Never before have evening cloaks
been SO elaborate. There is just at
present fancy for all white or all
black garments lined with rich bro
cades, chiffons and laces. Gun metal
gray bengaline makes a very chic and
useful garment trimmed with incrus-
tations of deep coffee lace and fasten-
ing with beautiful jeweled buttons.
Perhaps the most practical coat is
made of black peau de sole. 1t can
be used for both day and evening wear
I recently saw a garment of this sort
on a woman who was going into
Delmonico's. 1t was made with a
short empire waist and the triple cape
effect so stylish at present. Each cape
was edged with Persian embroidery.
A fluffy scarf of chiffon appliqued with
the embroidery fell from the fasten-
ing of her collar almost to her feet.
A casual movement revealed the fact
ha a
cred Persian brocade, whose warm
tones harmonized with the embroidery
on the rest of the coat. The newest
sleeves for evening garments are either
cut faring or else they are tucked from
the shoulder down to the elbow, where
they form a puff, which is held into d
snugly fitting cuff at the wrist
The latest thing in separate blouses
is the monogram waist. This is made
of tucked flannel. with stitched stock
and belt. fastening with medallion
of the goods embroidered with the
wearer's monogram in contrasting col
ors. This monogram also appears chev-
ron fashion on the left sleeve.
The most up to date skirts for street
wear are finished with rows of wide
and narrow folds Stimulating tucks.
The prettiest evening gowns of the
season are made of black point d'es-
| prit or white net banded with wavy
| lace insertions. If ruffles are used
| they are smart edged with narrow
| ribbons-velvet ribbon for the black
dresses, satin for the white. Crushed
belts of black panne are finished in
the back with short bows and long
sash ends of black chantilly.
| The latest hair ornament for evening
wear is double wreath of tiny pink
roses. With this is worn a corsage
| bouquet, also of the same tiny roses
from which depend score of tiny pink
velvet stree mers, each knotted around

why snow Is Not Black or Red.
Why is the snow white? is a ques

the sunlight in just the form in which
it receives it. and thus the snow can b.
