With this old-fashioned basque and

OF brown chiffon knife plaltings and with
dozens of little mdslin rufles worked

Hat to Match.
With each gown. and with each man

"If l could have three winter gowns
without counting the cOst-I would take
a velvet a broadcIoth. and a dgured
satin,'' said a woman who lorer new
lclothes. And If I could have three more
/ would select wool etamine with a
white heek In it. a smart rough serge.
/ and a camels hair with long furry
/ stripes running through Il.
! MY colors would be deep blue. me-
/ dium brown, black and glay. And I
would try TO secure bronze, plum color
and spinach green. With these tones
| one can do a great deal. And then one
| can always use white pipings and pip

and one can trim and trim. selecting

Planning Wardrobe.
II would be careful to have a touch

Oriental Effects.
If I could have six gowns l would
select the new shades, trim them with
pipings ana strappings, with oraidings
and with small trimmings. AND. in each

While buying something nice the wo-
man OF the season viii not pass by the
lace counters without stopping II would
be heartless 10 do so. for the new laces
are specially appealing. There is the
splencidly showy Point de Flanders
which wears forever and can be patched
and darned afterward with bits OF finer
lace. And there Is the heavy Irish
crochet which can always be reclaimed
by a stitch or two OF crochet work
The flet laces are handsome, and not
very costly and there are hundreds OF
imitation laces which are very nice. in
deed. both for trimmings and for maxi
ing up the vest and smaller parts OF
the gown.
Laees are used as borderlngs and as
wide fiat trimmings and as decorative
bits in the gown. But. instead Of be-
ing inset. the lace is laid fat on top
of the goods and is bordered with a mar
row band or a piping OF silk or satin
This gives il a wonderful strength and
a fine finish.
Laces Used as Trimmings.
A great many laces are applied in
long panelesque fashion. and, for this
purpose. the strong. heavy laces are
used. And, then. along each side of
the lace panel there is an opportunity
for some very fine hand-work. One lace
panel was bOrdered with embroidered
daisies, In the middle OF which was set a
little rhinestone. Another lace panel
vas bordered with roses upon the
petals OF which there We're fastened

The popular trimming OF the winter
is undoubtedly braiding, and ii is i'm
possible 10 predict the lengths TO which
braids will be carried They are used
now in so very many ways. One pretty
ccat was bOrdeTed with little loops of
black braid. and on each loop there
