There has been some hesitation about
buying the costly fiowered and brocaded
silks OF large design. not merely because
OF their cost. but also because the prob
lem OF using such material successfully
is a difficult one. Not every one can carry
off a material OF this kind. even in the
Louis coat, which is the favorite solution
OF the problem, and, realizing this, women
have admired and coveted, but have hard
" dared TO buy.
Many such silks are likely 10 be left on
the merchants hands and It will be in
terestlng to see what disposition Will be
made OF them, whether they Will adorn
bargain sales or be carried over to the
next season. Some OF the handsomest OF
the brocades are interviewer with gold
and silver. Others have lace introduced
into the design, as in the case Of an ex-
quisite silk OF silvery blue ground. on
which are baskets OF creamy lace from
which are showered softly-tinted blos-

Elbow sleeves arc almost inevitable
upon gowns OF ceremony. and a woman's
glove bill is a more formidable thing than
It has been in years past. Long suede
gloves in natural color are the correct
street gloves in Paris, but long gloves OF
white glace kid or suede are the usual
thing for dress. unless the gown is OF
pale tint easily matched In gloves.
In preparation for severe winter weather
arm protectors OF heavy kid. warmly
lined, are made to slip on over gloved
arms under a wrap. The reach from wrist
TO elbow, and are readily slipped on and
of Some such protection seems neces-
sary for comfort since the short-sleere
fad Is really to hold over through the
winter and even the voluminouS mum OF
the season cannot well protect the arm TO
the elbow.
Girdles of silver or gold gauze or cloth
are much used, carrying out the color
introduced In silver or gold embroidcrleS
and other trimmings Sheer stuns are
even made up over whole Innings OF gold
or silver tissue yelled in chiffon. and there
are charming lace and net frocks OF this
description with silver lining, delicate en-
hroidcrles of silver. or applied flower gar

Many very narrow bands of fur trim
some OF the evening frocks OF sheer stun
or lace bordcrcd on one edge by mere
line OF fur are also seen upon evening
frocks OF tulle. lace, mousseline or chif'

Trailing vertical embroideries lace run
ming up on the skirt. panel trimming and
other longitudinal effects are as popular
as horizontal band effects, but very often
are combined with the lattcr-a narrow or
wide band finishing the skirt bottom and
the embroidery or other vertical trimming
running upward from this base.
All these skirt arrangements are easily
carried out. and If they are not fancied.
1ounces are still in order, though they
must not be allowed to interfere with the
sweeping bell-like flare Of the skirt lines.
A circular cut is almost inevitable in the
modish skirt. and great width is attained

In the sheer skirts considerable fulness
is left. even in the sloping skirt top, and
this is fulled into the waistband or let
