The linen uEdercuffs. by the way,
have grown to be an important part
Df the winter wardrobe. They look
dainty and fresh peeping from be-
meath the coat sleeves and can be
bought in pairs at prices ranging from
10 cents to s. They are made OF
1rlsp materials, such as lawn. organ
lie and mousseline and exquisiteiy

ly confusing mass Of loveliness that
lazzles while 1t fasclnates
Fashionable women really owe
vote of thanks to the growing fad of
dining in swell restaurants and hotels
instead Of at home to many very
smart gowns, This season the vogue
is greater ian ever and an evening
spent at one of these dining places
shows splendor sufficient to last one
lifetime. White Is used extensively
for both gowns and wraps
One very pretty design was seen in
cream colored chiffon with the skirt
built in tierS arranged in nuns folds
and stitched with bands Of delicate
floral embroidery. Herring boning
was used to make more realistic the
topmost fold Dainty bows of white
velvet trimmed each fold at the side
and were secured with the tiniest i'm
aginable brilliant buttons.
Grapes continue as a fashionable
trimming because they are seasonable.
No doubt in the spring the modes will
revert to cherries for the same reason.
Combined with autumn leaves white
lace grapes are beautiful. and when
discreetly employed no garniture can
be compared with it. A white liberty
satin depends upon "centerpiece" OF
grapes for its cachet. Cream lace and
gold tissue are used with an uncon-
scionable disregard of their cost and
grapes OF gold outlined with dark
green silk cords complete the decora
tlon.
Mention has been made before OF
the close-fitting crocheted sweaters
which take the place OF the dawdy
looking affairs of former years. but
