Of Interest to Women

black shoes and black gloves. Do not
buy embroidered gloves, they are only
worn by terribly affected people, and
not always those of the better class.
In fact black, white or tan gloves are
the only ones really stylish, and are
always good form.
Flat muffs are shown today, while
the little necktie pieces are again ad-
vanced. Persian lamb is to be given
a rest, although old coats will be re-
modelled with both dark and light
furs
| Belts and Other Goods.
The belts are simply stunning.
cannot use any other word. They are
embroidered in every conceivable hue,
bird and tone, but the buckles are
simply elegant.
With stones in their largest size, set
in most exquisite French manner they
attract the eye in the most exclusive
stores.
Bags come in white velvet with pea
cock eyes looking at you, having been
exquisitely painted on, and the chains
a dream, having stones set at inter-
walls. The chains have most elaborate
settings. To see the mis- to appreciate
them.
Hat pins have principally solid
stones OF color, or surrounded by bril-
liants, in fact much like last season.
Dog collars of large stones set
singly are shown as formerly.
The prettfest morning dresses are
being evolved for the girl who is going
to college and her sister who has
entered upon the business life
dresses made Of plain stuffs or of
the indistinct plaids and stripes which
are as good this year.
Unlike the dresses and the shirt
waist suits of a year ago, most of
them are trimmed quite a little, al
though always in conservative ways,
and usually with the coloring kept to
quite somber tones. or to black-the
use of black for trimming, as for
suits and dresses, being steadily on
the increase.
AS much stitching and as many
tucks are used as ever, and braids and
buttons promise to be as popular as
they were last year. To both may be
added little rufflesF of silk; or sleeves
are cut to elbow and three-quarter
length, and long apparently separate,
cuffs are set In.
| Most of the skirts shown so far
follow circular models.
The waist of an occasional dress
ends in one of the pretty pointed waists
which are so becoming to almost every
figure; but most of them are worn
under the skirt and finished with
belt and the traditional buckle. Never,
surely, since buckles began have they
been worn to such an extreme. And
to have many changes in buckles has
! come to be positive fad.
/ Brown is being treated in dozen
fascinating ways; interesting plaids
made by plenty of threads of dark
rick seal brown and of block woven
into them; soft leaf shades with a
curiops shifting of threads that results
in shadow stripes of checks the only
way, incidentally, that checks have
remained in fashion, and deep rich
browns embroidered in tiny set figures
WI silk of their own color.
Blue is even more popular than
brown, although less noticably so,
because of the peculiar staple position
1t enjoys; and plaids-odd editions of
Scotch plaids, rendered even more
sober than the soberest of them u.s.
ually is-are in daily requisition
Voiles in every color are to be used
for the street this winter. While
very fine in weave, they have slightly
more body than formerly. Most ex-
quisite is red with coppery tint not
too loud for dressy tailor gown. An
other perfect shade is green shadow
check toned like a rich emerald shin
ing through transparent reseda VEIL
Panama cloth more than holds it's
own for the winter; indeed, it is push
ing to the foremost place in popularity.
The chief beauty of the new Panama
is that most of it is self-plaided or
over-plaided, giving tiny touch of
color that is rich yet not conspicuous.
One Of the leading favorites for
house gowns is to be marquisette. OF
all silk-and-wool fabrices this has
most of the "dressy' quality of a
gauze or net. The color range is
especially good, with sole pastel tones
in the lead.
Though we women no longer dress
to look like members tot an institu-
ton, to the utter destruction of in
dividuality, and much more laxity is
permissible as to material. cut and
color than a few years since, there
Is every season one predominant color
This year it bide fair to be black
for every possible occasion.
For black is to be in prime favor
for both day and evening. 1t is prom
inent in every material, serge. panama,
eolienne, wolfe, crepe de chine, roxana,
tamise, gypsy, crispine, marquisette,
radium net and gauze-and the poor
blonde or high-colored brunette may
rejoice in the happy consciousness that
she will look her best this coming
season.
A feature of the new black is that
much of it is embroidered in heavy
serges as we'll as fine henriettas, and
silk-and-wool eoliennes show silk-em-
brofdered figures, rings and dots scat
tered over the surface at somewhat
wide intervals. Charming voiles are
seen with open work silk figures that
give very novel touch.
The old-time black grenadine is in
again strongly for this winter, both
in the plain barred mesh and in
fancy weaves. The chiffon grenadine
in shadow effects is particularly love-
ly.
