Foulard petticoats are serviceable
and pretty.
Muffs are of immense size, but
feathery weight.
Brussels net with coin spots Is liked
for evening frocks.
Albatross blouses with insertions of
Irish lace are lovely.
Small check vcivets are not so
dressy as the plain colOrs.
Many of the new muffs and stoles
are simply huge punches of tails.
Buttons Of cut jet are effectively
used on black lace and velvet gowns.
Feathery green ferns are novel dec
orations appearing on the smartest
hats.
The lovely new embroidered silk
lierre lace bids fair to take precedence
over all others.
Wells of champagne-colored chiffon,
hand-painted with roses, violets or or
chids, catch attention.
A plated skirt of soft velvceteen,
worn with a short packet of the same,
makes a stunning walking suit
Many Of the handsomest muffs, to
outward seeming, are backed with vel
vet in place of being fur all the way
round.
Some Of the fur coats are distin-
guished by vests and cuffs Of bright
blue or green velvet, embroidered in
gold and silver.
Necklaces of rose quartz and pink
jasper are very lovely for young girls
who can wear rosy hues so close to
their fresh faces.
The sailor hat with fur crown, brim
of Irish lace, tinsel band and gen.
erous display Of plumage, seems to be
the milliner's ideal.
All gowns not strictly for walking
purposes are made with skirts that
touch the ground. The bell-shaped
skirt is the most fashionable, although
plaits have by no means gone out.
Broadcloth and the soft, pliable ma
terials, such as cashmere, velvets,
voile, etc, are mostly used.
