toad for the sake Of. economy.

Osiria is the name of one of the new
shades of green it is most effective
associated with black and in satin
faced cloth makes a handsome gown.
The skirt has a hip-yoke trimmed
with narrow black satin braid. Below
this there are several applied tucks
Of the cloth piped with the same braid
only tiny white threads are wound
through the braid.
The Jacket is neither long or short
and fits the figure very snugly. Round
the shoulders there is a cape draped
in crossed-Over effect which lends
heigth to the figure. There is only
one way of accomplishing this effect
gracefully, however, and that is to
see that the capes meet just above
the girdle.
White will be very much in evil
dence at the horse show and every
fabric from the handsome French
CLEANLINESS for afternoon to chiffOns
and the diaphanous weaves for even
ing will be seen. With these gowns
the most exquisite furs and neckwear
to the exhibition the chrysanthemum,
will be worn. Out of compliment
to the exhibition the chrysanthemum,
which is the official flower, appears
in many different guises.
A marvellous white chiffon boa is
composed Of myrial ruffles edged
with immense yellow silk chrysanthe-
NUNS all hand embroidered. The
flowers are given beautiful coloring
by the addition of pale pink-white
centers.
A Pelerine and muff made of white
elder down and ermine are decorated
with wonderful chrysanthemums of
crimson chiffon. Such vabaries, where
one can afford to indulge them can
be considered more than sentimental
for flowers will play an important
part in the fashions of winter there
fore novelties selected for the exhibit
ton will not be passe afterward.
Elegant coats are distinguished
mainly for the number of tassels and
other danglings which adorn them.
Heavy white corded silk is in great
demand for dressy wraps and fur, silk
braid, velvet bands and embroidery
compose the smart trimmings.
Beautiful little fans of convenient
size are made of chiffon embroidered
or hand-painted then edged with mock
Jewels. They are not intended to be
closed, but are so dainty that they
can hang from the bead chains without
fear of being damaged or catching
on things.
Red in a new tone called cranberry
is new idea for the woman who
wishes to add to her collection oil
coats 1t shades from dark to light
very effectively and is modelled es-
pecially for the long-haired libel |
ines. The cranberry red coats are
made of suede and cost from $500 to
$3.50.
Nothing reveals or even exagerates
the size of the hands as do white kid
gloves. Yet they are indispensable to
the perfectly gowned woman. The la !
test offerings have pointed applica-
tons in a contrasting shade-usually |
a tint that matches the gown-over
the long wrists. They sell for little |
less than IS a pair. Other novelties |
have grey finger tips, and sometimes
black ones. While very serviceable |
and especially SO for the woman with !
freely perspiring hands, these gloves |
will hardly be a success, for though |
the desire to save ones clothes be ever |
so great, no one likes to be caught |
employing SO noticeable an agent in
the fulfilling of such a desire.
