Queen Margot. An old and modern ruff
Queen Elizabeth.

Medici fraise. Marie Stuart.
OLD FASHIONS THAT ARE USED TODAY.
dress find the pictures herewith, and
think them of sufficient interest to wo-
men to present them here. One picture
shows Queen Elizabeth, and her sleeves
are Of peachblow satin. puffed and
quilted with black velvet ribbons,
which were as much liked In those days
as now. Shoulder puffs added height
and dignity, and these were crossed
with satin straps which were held to-
gether with pearls. The wrists were
finished with upturned cuffs of fine
lace, and lace also edged the ruff,
which stood high and wide in the back.
Another picture shows the medici
fraise, the ends Of which are square,
while the Elizabethan comes to point
at the neck. A fall of fine lace finishes
1t. Another collar shown is still smaller
and is matched in material by pretty
and becoming Marie Stuart Golf. There
are several OF these arrangements now
made and being made for some of the
smart set In New York, and they are
to be worn at grand opera and many
grand day functions. The woman of
today seeks from every age and nation
things for her own establishment, and
1t seems that nothing comes amiss pro-
vided it has not become common. The
Marie Stuart point over the brows has

have real vogue in regular colts. An
other shape of Golf is shown, and this
is made of rich blue velvet with strings
of pearls around the edges and crossed
on the soft, high crown. A small
aigret of white marabou is placed at
the left side. This picture represents
the Queen Margot, and it is here also
that the boa of today had its origin.
Boas Of lace. tulle, chiffon and liber-
ty, to say nothing Of feathers. are ex-
ceedingly fashionable, and probably
they will be SO all winter, for there is
much more warmth in them than the
lay mind would believe.
After them come the fur boas, which
differ materially from those Of last
year. They are longer and fuller and
larger around. 1t would never do to
allow the fashion to remain exactly
the same. for where would the fur
dealer find his account If they did?
There are tippets. and they look just
like those that are found in the same
old book as dating from the sixteenth
century. There are muffs of every
kind from the plain dyed possum to
sable and velvet with ribbon and fur
trimmings.
The storm collars and collarettes are
distinctly those of the old days, but
copied in fur The medici and Eliza
then, which goes to prove that women
are not so very tickle. after all. when
they stick to one fashion for over four
centuries.
These fur storm collars and collar
cites are certainly pretty and conven-
lent. They have some new grace this
season. though it is difficult to define
1t. but perhaps it lies in the clever way
in which different furs have been COM
bincd. The body of the collarette will
be Of some close fur. like lamb. astra-
khan or seal. and the border will be of
mink. marten. Hudson bay sable, Alas
ka sable or some other soft and deep
fur.
Some of them have seal for the CEN
ter and miniver or chinehilla for the
facing of the collar and revers. In one
or two cases saw fine black broad
cloth for the outside of the collar, with
the finishing of rich skunk or Alaska
sable. HENRIETTE ROUSSEAU.
