velvets do not appeal to many of us.
They are too harsh to drape in the
classical folds which the wrap Of the
moment demands.
This reminds me that we shall see
curious mixtures this season OF the
ancient Greek 1880 fashions. a combi-
nation which in most cases is made to
bear strong resemblance to the Louis
XIV. modes. 1t Is a good idea to take
a little from the best fashions of all
periods and to adapt it to the modes
Of to-day
There are all sorts Of fascinating old
fashions which seem. somehow, to suit
the present-day beauties.
The silk knotted and chenille fringe
seems to be an admirable trimming

New Modes in Winter Wra ps

intermingled with beautiful furs, and
lace is used as much if not more than
ever-real Tor preference. though
many OF the limitations are quite beau
tiful.
Taking them all around. the styles
for outdoor garments. including head
gear, are quite lovely. And now let me
describe to you one or two nantes of
the moment The long shoulder APP
pears TO be indispensable. Sometimes
it is to be arrived at by big pelerine
over-cape. and ofttimes by long
shoulder-piece and the sleeve put in
as one. There is something extremely
graceful about these dropping Shout
ders, except when they are accumulated
TO such an extent that they become
ludicrous. The clever tailor manages
when necessary TO square the Shout
ders of his clients before sloping them.
A very pretty pelerine of fichu effect
is obtained in nantes by an insertion
round the shoulders of heavy guipure
lace, edged on either side with mar
row fur trimming and very often ac-
companying this there is high Mediei
collar.
Many beautiful fur nantes are made
with a draped capuchin of contrasting
fur. folds of lace and chiffon. A lovely
PapaI shade of violet is being q great
| deal used for evening wraps. lined. as
rule. with ermi2e, and showing
big pelerine collar of the same fur
Electric blue velvet is also worn with
mink A beautiful model of three
| quarter length was gagged in shawl
like fashion, edged with a 15-inch
fringe of knotted silk of the same
shade, and finished with collar Of
mink, which fell in stoles down the
front. This was lined with a thick
creamy white satin.
Then many of the cloth models, gen.
orally white or cream, are trimmed
with a mixture of silk and chenille
fringe in the same shade and ruchings
, of slightly deeper tone of velvet
These ruchings are the true sign of
the return to the early Victorian pc
riod. They have smartness all their
own, but | think. somehow, they look
better on dresses than on NANTES
Light cloth dresses trimmed with
dark furs are ideal for early winter,
and this combination will be much in
evidence. during the next few months
| as it was in the early part of last
spring.
There is distinct fancy for the old
corduroy velvets. and in brown and
deep ivory shades they are really love-
ly. Although light they are warm
and can be worn without a coat.
Very smart is favn-colored cordu-
roy skirt with suede coat of the same

| think we shall always remain
faithful TO blOuses, though | have told
you, and | mean it, that the really
smart dresses now favor the bodice
and the skirt en- suite. The toilette
de visite. for instance, is very eIabo-
rate. The new, soft, light make of
velvet will be the fabric par excellence
in next months fashions, and the IA
vorlte trimming will be an embroider-
ed collar of the pelerine shape.
The peignor, saut-de-lit. and all such
garments of comfort are mostly cut
after the Japanese shape And here
again wine color predominates.
Among others. there are two AmerI-
can beauties over here. | dare not d.
Vulge their names, but l must tell you
OF some of their clothes An evening
dress made for one of them is in ivory
white velvet. The skirt is slightly
full on the hips, otherwise ii is plain
to the knees. where ii seems TO have
innumerable folds and plaits forming
a frou-frou all round the feet. To all
appearances the bodice and skirt are
cut in one. the former being very SIM
pie. cut in cross over fashion. outlined
with beautiful design in golden
grapes, with leaves worked in Da1est
green, and finished with swathed
waistband of ivory white velvet and
gold tissue
In direct contrast TO this gown is a
most gorgeous picture frock in vieux

Mrs. Thompkins looked. There was a
small brass plate above the electrical
button at one side of the door. The
plate said:
Ring the bell"
Well" said Mrs. Thompkins.

he wanted. Mr. Thompkins paid no at
tention to her and continued to ring the
bell. The housemaid disappeared and
returned with her mistress.
What do you want?" demanded the
woman.
Nothing" said Mr. Thompkins, and

Why are you standing there ringing
my bell?" asked the woman. looking
down the street to see il there were any
policemen near by who could take the
mnatic in charge.

Thompkins. because the little brass sign
above the bell commands me to. was
passing the house and saw the words
here. Ring the bell Although it is

voice which plainly showed she was fol-
lowing the injunction to always humor
crazy people. III you do not wish to

And why, If do not wish to see any

You are not commanded to ring my

The brass sign, madam. says: Ring

Mr.. and Mrs. Thompkins resumed their
walk downtown. Mrs. Thompkins had
gloomy forebodings. She saw that her
Iiege had started out to institute a re-
form and he would not rest until he
encountered disaster
They entered an art store, where Mrs.
Thompkins wished to look at some pic
