Some of the very srnartest models in

in the quaint. frilly and fluffy styles that
make girl seem like living miniature
| of her grandmother.
For the winter weather these arc fur
nisfied with a body lining of soieiaine,
silk flannel that Is the acme of luxury for
such a purpose, and a charming conceit

with black will have the soielaine lining
in shell pink; the brown-for browns
are extremely fashionable-wili favor the
onion tints; while the black taffeta wrap
will have oyster white or lilac o.
mauve. Just as fancy may dictate.
For travelling and general utility pur-
poses the smart girl muchly favors those
| long. loose affairs that conceal the figure
while giving an impression OF slender
and wff1owy grace.
The fanciful yoke is arranged with the
new broad shoulder cffect-the sloping

There is simply no end to the clever
conceits that can be worked out in this
fashion: and the girl who designs. even If
she does not make her own clothes. will
doubtless add many new ones before the
season is well under way.
Then there are the shot prunella cloths.

MAUvE SHADED EFFECT.
A charming example shows a deep
mauve shot with lilac. made up with ex-
tremely full plated skirt. the pIaits not
stitched down at all. but Just pressed fat

The shot or shaded effect was seen to
beautiful advantage as the wearer walked;
and the full puffed sleeve showed it. too,
in quite another guise.
And speaking OF sleeves. the makers of
those wraps or raincoats. or whatever one
chooses to call them. have taken time by
the forelock. and are furnishing the most
delightfully."- big sleeves. so large and
roomy that even the most frilly and
fluffy chiffon waist can be worn beneath
without crushing.
Tha. large sleeves are to be the thing

the coming winter there is simply no ques-
