To Be In STYLE Wear Velvet,

Velvets. which until a few short
years ago were considered the mate
rial Of kings and queens, have come
to be very generally worn not only by
people Of wealth but by those of mod
est purse as well. The chiffon velvets
are the direct result of the manufac-
turers' efforts to get the pliable quail
ty of the cotton fabrics in their silk
weaves.
Velveteens of to-day are as pretty
and as lustrous as their silken rela-
tives, and this season are brought out
with the added virtue of being fast in
color, thus assuring the wearer that
her light-colored dainty blouse or del
icately tinted gloves will not be
smudged.

Small Empire Coat.

No one need think that the fashions
of the first empire are not as becom
ing to the little maid as to her moth
er. 1t is unusual to find style which
is so universally becoming, and the
little coat shown is quite as becom
ing on the little girl as the same mode
is on her mother. What could be more
adorable than a demure little lady In
this coat? The short Elton part fits
easily, while the lower attached por
ton flares gracefully about the bot
tom. Velvet is very soft and rich in
tiny coats for winter, and the pretty
collar and cuff facings of white broad

Trimmed Muffs Fashionable.

What might be called trimmed
muffs-that is, with tails and heads Of
the animals as ornamentation, are
fashionable just now. AS they are
SO large they seem to need some fin
ish, white lynX-tails of the animal
and the small heads relieve nicely the
wide fiat surface. Lace and flowers
always seem rather incongruous
against fur, but they undoubtedly
give richness of coloring which is
effective to degree. Ecru lace
against sable is exquisite, and imita.
ton gardenias with touch of color in
the green leaves render chinchilla
more than ever charmingly pretty.
Full lace ruffles soften the wrist holes
in the majority of muffs for reception

The best feather hats this year are

in the way of trimming. Just the right
