on The backs and perhaps hid bands Of
oorrespondinR color at the tops. There
are regulation mousquetaire long gloves
without opening at the wrist but with loOse
straps stitched In color that may be clasped
around the wrist to hold the glove firmly.
Embroidered tops are seen, too, and tops
inset with Lace, but though these bizarre
ideas may appeal 70 the women who well
oone any novelty, there Il little OF no
probability that they WI be taken up by
the fastidious women who really set the seal
upon our fashions. Fancy gloves have
oitAn been tried and have a. often failed
and even in this season OF glove tmpor-
tanos. history VIII doubtless repeat ttseh.
Apropos OF feathers, there are beau
tihii new colorings in leather used for bagA
purses, card cases, belts, DO The greens
and lAvendsrs are especially lovely and
the blues are better than ever before.
Burned, out out and painted feathers are
used not only for belts and other dress
accessories, but are worked into the trim
r1inRs Of some Of the street frocEs, but
euoh novelties need skilhll handling II they
are 70 be beautiful rather than eccentric
AmonE the new things In footwear white
I'D m combination with patent leather or
oolored lsAther 10 noticeably prominent,
and some Of the pumps IN champagne or
tan IeatheT, With q narrow band Of Whits
leatbsr around their tops and with nat
pttls bows Of white hid in front, are very
oo1usttish, whatever may be said Of their
n,Hctioai Qualities. Rumor has Il that
White hosiery Il 90 bo worn with those and
other white trimmed low shoes and slippers
--sAH 49, N swklfa ah1l0- and the
an white stockings dear TO our grand
mothers bid fair TO come to'theE own
again.
The craze for embroidery has spread TO
include the low shoes and white canvas
OF duck ties heavily embroidered on the toea
are made for wear With embroidered white
hose, embroidered potticoats, embrOidored
frocls, embroidered coats, embroidered
hats, embroidered parasols. Verify there
are great possibilities OF extravaganos IN
the season's modes, but; at least, the great
est ertraYagance to-day Hes within the
border lines Of good taste and Expresses
itself in the exquisltely dainty, not In the
barbaric.
The lowered silks used for coats With
sheer skirts are perhaps the most striking
Of the seasons fancies, but even these,
though gorgeous, are usually 20 harmonious
in coloring that ons can not call them lam
bovant. Some rich lustrous silks Of gros-
grain weave, but extraordinarily SON, are
lowered in huge designs Of flower and gar
land or Of riband and flower basket and
snIIling blossoms, but the shadings melt
into one another 90 that the bold design
Ioees its audacity.
Masses OF huge American Beauty roses
IN all their natural shadlngs. banked upon q
elvery gray white background which they
almost entirely cover, were the design for
one OF these beautiful grosgrains, and
srotber had natural hued wistariA with
vine and foliage over ground Of lightblue,
,vbicb showed only in small patches like
slInnpses Of blue sky seen through q vine
covered arbor.
Roma Of the new lowered and embroi-
dered cranes. too, have a subdued gorgeous
meas. Pastel coiorings in embroidery, In a
silyer or gold ground, are among the ex-
pensive crane novelties. and there are
y,o,,saelines de sole embroidered In flowers
whose METALS are detached each from the
other and make the flowers almost az high
In ralief as the natural flowers would be II
IaId unon the surface. Such marvels are
syp.nsive In propo rtion 10 their beauty,
and $50 or $40 a yard ia no uncommon price
for silks.
Luckily the moderately expensive and
s,tremely beautiful sillSsare legion. Taf-
,eta plain, shot, lowered, chiffon fsille and
chiffon MORE, messalne in all its wide range
Of weight and hstsr, surah, the handspun
siISs--all these are lovely enough to satisfy
even an e1acting woman.
The handspun sillzE, inchNiinE pongee
IN all It's variations, are In high favor as
The eeason advances, and the smoother
surface pongees are regaining The prestige
thew lost last year, when the rougber
Weaves attained great popularity. All the
new colorings may Ia found IN there dull
surface, soft silks and their wearh quail
ties are excellent.
