NEW YORK FASHIONS

E Empire styles prevail in MANY differ.
ent forms and notifications. The short
wasted evening gown is first favorite with
fashionable women and the Princess skirt
forming bodice at the upper part is COM
Dlned with very short box bolero or
Eton. The result is a toilet for afternoon
functions that is decidedly a pEmpire.
WIN the Princess skirt with its high
corselet suits the slender figure especially
well, skilled dressmakers have modified
it, reducing the corselet to a girdle mod
erately high and pointed in the back and
sloped to Y in front that is becoming to
women with full figures, if the waist
worn is in harmonizing color tones. but
this mode should not be attempted by the
home dressmaker or indeed by any but
the most skilled modiste.
| Robes in Lace and Embroidery
The robe patterns in lace figured or en-
riched with spangles and in fine soft fab.
RIGS embroidered and inset with lace mo-
| tits, are boon to the woman who wishes
an elegant gown with the least employ
ment of dressmaking assistance, These
robes are shown at all the smart sbops
and are shaped and trimmed so that the
nearest tyro at dressmaking can achieve
satisfactory results, and there need be no
sacrifice of individuality in their use for
the difference in the lining color and ac
cessories, belt, color, etc., will constitute
distinct difference in the effect of any two
exactly similar patterns.
In His New and Elegant Establishment
on 42d St., c. G. Shayne is receiving the
congratulations of his many friends and
prospective purchasers of furs, every var
iety OF which lie displayed in a most at
tractive manner, especially designed to
meet the wants OF all classes of customers
prices ranging from the cheapest of re-
liable furs, to those which are denoted by
the use of four figures. Hudson Bay and
Russian sable, seal, mink, chinchilla, err
mine, broadtail, Persian lamb and Alaska
sable are the leading favorites, but, less
expensive grades offer many attractions.
The Small Coat
continues in great favor, one style having
a belt on the side seams terminating in
handsome clasp at the back. Box coats.
loose and half, fitting without collars, or
those having straight front and tight back
in Russian style, show large, soft collars,
which is an exception in coats. These
three styles are made in Alaska sable, seal
or Persian lamb, and vary in length from
twenty-five to forty-six inches The
sleeves are of medium size and usually
finished with cuffs. Long coats of mink
or broadtal are very elegant, the former
finished by jewelled buttons, that are
however the luxury of the few.
Shoulder Capes With Medium or Long Ends
offer special attractions, coming in all
high grade furs, and as the prevalent
Fancy for white is still in full force, er-
mine is supreme particularly for cravats,
which impart an air of elegance to the
entire costume. Flat boas and throw
over ties are oil mink, Alaska sable, lynx,
bear, raccoon and baum-marten, variously
trimmed or plain, the best grades often
inished with heads and tails. The fash
enable muff is in pillow shape and for
evening wear is often a combination of
'rmine and seal or broadtai and ermne.
Shoes
or evening wear are high Eeeled and
cry elaborate, being strapped in many
lainty forms and embroidered in beads
nd in ribbon work. They are often
made up to match the gown, as shoes and
ostume must match in color Chiffon
osettes, bows, spangled mousseline,
uckles of Rhine stone, gilt or silver all
ave place in the ornamentation of the
vening slipper. LUCY CARTER.
