ers are adorned with braid and narrow edg-
tngs of fur If a waistcoat is in evidence,
embroidered satin Is the fabric used.
velvet princess gown with long, trailing
skirt is an exceedingly Swagger possession
made with a jetted bolero Jacket and
jabot of old lace. Indeed. handsome jet is
to be seen on number of stunning frockS,
including evening toilets of white satin elab-
orately trimmed with black thread lace.
Velvet applied wide band at the bot
tom of the skirt Is new old idea and a
very practical one at the same time, for
this line of dark velvet protects a light
cloth gown where 1t comes in contact with
the ground.
Dog collars of jet are perfectly stunning
worn with a white or black toilet and il is
now the object of every up-to-date girl to
own as many original jeweled collars as she
has chains and bangles. Beads are pressed
into service for the dog collars and an ex-
quiSite little neck decoration is made by
weaving tiny white beads to the right
height and size and barring it off several
times around the collar with bands of small
daisies having gold centers.
The separate coat Is to be seriously reck-
oned with this winter. theater wrap of
some elaborate sort is important, a dressy
afternoon coat to be worn over light gowns
and another for all-around day wear These
extra coats do not infringe upon the rights
Of the coat and skirt suits, however, they
simply supplement them.
For informal evening, driving and street
wear there Is new topcoat which Parisians
are taking up enthusiastically. 1t is made
of heavy Scotch tweed in black and white
check 1t Is long, loose and circular and
cut with one seam down the back. Collar
and cuffs of black velvet trim neck and
sleeves. School girls will revel in coat of
this description, and on cold days 1t Is just
the wrap to keep them warm and comfort
able. Besides, it Is easily slipped on and off.
If dress be index to the mind, as some
of us believe, then must many of the femi-
nine sex at the present time have angelic
tendencies, for wings sprout from every
other hat one Sees and wings Of jet are
among the favored hair ornaments. high
novelty of millinery is the comet aigret,
long sweeping affair that rises on a hat
from the enveloping loops of huge rosettes
of ribbon. And, apropos of the chapeau,
there Is a modern arrangement of the tri-
corne with its brim very much curled up at
one side, against which the comet brush of
feathers is very smart. although trifie
startling.
Lingerie blouses of the thinnest and
daintiest kinds are to hold their own all
winter. These will trust to steam heat and
warm furs to make themselves popular In
blizzard weather Slips of china silk worn
under them add not little to comfort.
These lacy waists are to be the correct
thing for matinee wear and are considered
much smarter than silk. Heavy linen tub
shirt waists are out in a number of at
tractive models, not the least attractive
being waist of coarse French linen with
double box plait down the center and
like plait ON each side of the front. AT the
Dust line are TWO pockets, the maps las
tened with pearl buttons The back is
made plain or with shallow yoke. An
other linen waist has plaits from the Shout
der and is double breasted, the neck cut in
a deep u. which Is filled in with en-
broidered chemisette.
Silk waists made very much on the lines
of the lingerie blouses have the sleeves en-
blazoned with a monogram inclosed In an
odd design. The letters are usually drop
effects in Chinese characters. Shaded pearl
buttons toning in with the embroidery silk
and the belt buckles are smart accessories
of the winter silk waists.
