lines and made of shaggy, rough material,
as a rule they are quite distinctly feminine
in general appearance. All shades of gray
and brown are used and a few in plain
colors. The cape with q fitted front longer
than the cape itself is distinctly for
eign in treatment, but smart and becom-
ing. The loose half length and long coats
on the box order are always in fashion,
and whether lined with fur or heavy wool
mixture are most practical for winter
weather, while for motoring they are fash
iondble all the year.
There are the big half-fitted coats of
lighter weight material. The cravenette gar
ments that are now so much smarter Than
ever, are made fitting in the back and with
loose doube-breasted fronts. The driving
coat with its two three shoulder capes,
Is also worn as a wet-weather wrap, but i
is a trifle too heavy and cumbersome for
real comfort, as when going about In bad
weather a woman does not want to be
bothered with too heavy garments, and II
extra warmth is desired 1t is far better to
get it In the Innings than in the material
itself.
There Is a continual discussion that goes
on season after season, year after year. as
to whether it is better to wear long or
a short coat in wet weather. The alien
yeloping rain coat or ulster would seem to
the mind of the lay reader to be the more
practical garment, for certainly it must
needs absolutely protect any gown worn
underneath it. But 1t is urged on the con-
trary side of the question that a long coat
worn over heavy gown is most uncOm-
Portable too heavy and too warm, and that
no woman wishes to go out in the rain
clad IN a light gown even If it be covered
with a big coat. Consequently there are
advocates for the short skirt with coat to
match made of material that is impervious
to wet and can be made impervious to cold
as well. So chad Woman-this is the
other side of the Question-may feel she Is
most appropria tely and smartly goWned,
especially if the right sort of hat, boots
and gloves be worn, for it is every whit as
important that such details be correctly
carried out as if it were a costume for
reception.
The blue and green plaid woollen cos
tunes are thought smart for this purpose,
and the demand for the material is increas-
ing every day but the pattern Is one that
looks best when trtmmed-braid and fancy
buttons for instance. being most effective
against the blue and green coloring, While
a touch of scarlet is most becoming. Con-
sequently, while the whole effect is very
charming. it does not possess the rather
more business-like. smart appearance the
more conventional rough Scotch tweed or
cheviot street gown has from time imme-
mortal been associated with, especially in
the minds of English people, with the cos
tunes intended solely for rough, hard wear,
and which in spite OF the very hardest
kind of wear, can be brushed and sponged
and pressed to look like new time and
again.
In every picture ever published of Paris

finally dispatched to America, where the
edges are finished with a narrow border Of
delicate Armenian lace. The handkerchiefs
when delivered in America are as choice
bits Of linen any woman could wish to
own.
A pretty fancy for the holiday season IN
white mouchoirs shows the entire surface
of the linen square sprinkled with embroid-
Grad disks. On others the tiny design Is
woven into the linen, butterflies, feur-d--
lyS, shamrocks, etc, appearing at intervals
of two inches over the entire handkerchief
inside the narrow hem. Heavier threads
of linen intercept these little patterns and
give a fashionable lattice-work effect. One
charming little handkerchief looks for all
the world like piece of dotted Swiss
sprinkled with miniature iris, and IS most
delicate and unusual.
Mouchoirs with softly colored borders
have retained their vogue in spite of all pre-
dictions to the contrary. Silhouette effects
are the most sought after, and for these all
the small flowers in pastel shades are en-
ployed to grace the edges of the white mus

In mercerized cotton these odd effects
show to particularly good advantage. The
rage for color schemes makes them exeep-
tionaliy modish just now, and women. as
well as men, consider them essential to
smart get-up. Genuine SILK handkerchfefs,
which are used for muffiers, are woven In
all the wonderfully subtle colorngs Of the
season. Many are finished with hems of a
contrasting shade and one little gem with
a center of rose pink silk has the cream
white border beautifed by tiny rosebuds en-
broidered in silk floss to match the center.

Juvenile Parties.

There is in these days a great change in
entertaining children. Nowadays mothers
who have not SPACIOUS rooms take tick&ts
at one Of the favorite theaters where an eTA
tertainment suitable for little folk Is RUM

relative Is asked, and after the play the
guests are given tea at a restaurant and in
some instances go home. Sometimes they
indulge in games in private room Of the
restaurant or hotel When a party is given

dances. Perhaps the matinee fheater or

FEMININE TASTES.
What eFastidious Woman Thinks is
Right.


Written for The Star.
If one feminine accessory speaks more
clearly than another of a woman's personal
tastes It Is her handkerchief. This essential
square be 1t of linen, lace or silk, tells
many a tale of tidiness, daintiness or ele-
gance which more conspicuous parts of the
attire fail to disclose. And the more re-
fined a woman's tendencies, the more care
does she display in choosing her handker-
chiefs.
For this reason the daintiness and appro-
priateness of the small sized mouchoir
which made 1t appearance early In the fall
have caused 1t to gain a remarkable vogue.
The ashioned ten-inch squares OF mus
lin are being sold out as fast bargain
counter sales Will dispose Of them, and all
the new handkerchiefs measure not over
six or eight inches at the most.
Aside from this welcome decrease in size,
sheerness and dellcacy of weave and pat
tern will characterize the mouchoir of 1908.
Handkerchiefs for ordinary use show very
evidence than they have been for several
years Tiny designs of French hand work
aiIorn one or all of the four corners instead.
Dragon flies, bees, autumn leaves, etc, are
outlined in almost a thread line by satin
stitch and are embroidered with such ex-
uuisite fneness that they seem almost to
be woven into the linen.
Fastidious women, however, continue to
have q small, plain initial or monogram
embroidered In one corner of each handker-
chief. Not a few bachelor maids who pride
themselves on their exclusiveness in dress
order their mouchoirs by the dozen semi
annually from England. These little ar
ticles are then sent to France to have the

Short skirts are. of course, the only ones
possible, ana there are several different

being that the fashion is a most becoming

models of the one style-wIde pleats mar

A good tailor or dressmaker-for no longer

be fitted and hung just as carefully as
must the waist be fitted and draued, and
this is the secret of why most OF the fash

foot OF the smart skirt today is stu eXag-
gerated In dimensions and a the same
time the skirt fits closely over the hips, any
fulness of the pleats being cut away when
1t IS not needed.
The circular skirt Is becoming more and
more fashionable all the time, both for he
short and the long styles, and the many
gOred one is also among the new models.
This last always has strapped seams, but
no other trimming. while in the circular
style the trimming may consist only Of
hem turned up on the right side, of a sue
cesSiOn of bias folds or rows of braid. 1t
depends upon the use for which the skirt
is destined. If for tramping over fields and
for wearing only in bad weather the less
trimming the better, for there Is always
the possibility to be feared that braid and
folds will when wet shrink different from
