gauge formed the trimming was es- pecially admired The turban was a part of chinchilla set, boa, huff and hat. It was rather large, and was sharply turned up on one side, where cluster of silver gauge roses held a large white heron aigrette which ex- tended backwards.
 A beautiful toque of Russian sable had the entire crown of gold gauge with a trimming of nails and four short white ostrich feathers. Feathers. ostrich and heron, trim most of the fur hats. A very smart hat of Persian lamb had a scarf of ermine around the crown, and white ostrich feathers on the side.
 Of gold and silver hats there is no end. They are beautiful to look at, but tpear a little too gorgeous for ordinary wear. Ito be sure, they are not in- tended for ordinary wear. but few oc- casions are dressy enough to support them. Imagine the gown to properly accompany such hat as this: The shape was the familiar one, with a wide brim dipping in the back, and a mush- room crown. The brim of the hat was gold lace. transparent but heavy, with a fold of plain gold gauge for border. The low. round crown was of the gauge, and the trimming was gold grapes and leaves. The left side of the brim was lifted to show trimming of golden brown ostrich and paradise yryI,i 4a, 4t4 hair of the wearer.
 Another gold lace hat was sailor shape with a low crown and a short brim. The hat was lifted on a high bandeau, and this and the entire under brim were swathed in pale blue ma lines. A twisted band of pale blue sat- in riboon encircled the crown, termi- mating in a large rosette of the rib bon and three short ostrich plumes, also pale blue. The feathers were laid f1atly against the crown, and dropped against the hair.
 These metallic gauges discreetly used, not as hat material, but as hat trimming, may be most effective There is, in fact, a veritable craze for gold trimming, and the glint of metal shows in braids. embroderies, and novelty trimmings of all kinds. Gold and silver spangled gowns are much approved. Shill an othe use for the metallic gauges is in form of Things for thin materials Evening gowns of lowered and figured nets are made over an in- terlining of thinnest gold gauge. The effect is a moire of great elegance.
 Leaving luxurious dress. for a time, the new flannel waists deserve space. At this time of year even those who are most devoted to linen shirt waists and lingerie blouses are attracted by the weamer flannel, The smartest of informal f1anel and silk blouses this year are called simply shirts, and are built on the plan of the linen shirt waists worn with riding habits. They come in Scotch and French f1annels, silks and mohair, and in plain colors, stripes and plaids. Very effective are the green and blue plaids and checks in these shirts. They cost from $375 to $6.50 at the good waist shops. The shirt also appears in a plain, coarse linen, suitable for winter wear, Many of the shirts are furnished with rolling SOlicliSs cbI1d b NCly "IuC Sllh llC, SUCH as sailors on our warships wear is sold to wear with them.
 Some of the prettiest of the simple dark silk blouses to wear mornings are made with heart-shaped or square op- enings at the neck to show white chem isettes. Comparatively few women, it is feared, wear the high-necked wool len underwear warranted by the chilly dampness of this climate so thin guimpes are still in order. For the few wise ones thicker guimpes of heavily embroidered is desired, lace guimpes lined with thin silk. In this connection under slips of China silk, white and pale tinted, are still liked as interlin- irgs for thin glouses worn in winter Nothing is so unbecoming as a chill, and the prettiest woman too thinly clad is at her very worst. There was once a theory that women 'shamed their worth," as the poet told Lady Clare in the ballad, when they wore heavy fabrics or sensible shoes. For years stupid women went out in winter with tiny satin slippers on their feet and thin muslin gowns on their shivering limbs. They filled early graves, most of them, but they thought they were fulfilling their mission as women. Nowadadys we are more sensible, but many of us have something still to learn about rational dress. Warm un- 1 derclothes and thick-soled boots are proper wear for winter, and no woman who values her health or her good looks will dispense with them.-New , York Evening Post. | What did she say when you pro- l innsad 2', ttNnthino.
