FRILLS OF FASHION.

White fox furs are extremely popular
with the youthful contingent, and silver fox
Is considered particularly chic with the older
woman tailor frock.
The automobile bag lie the latest thirg in
handbags and is a cross between a DIRE ssing
case and a shopping bag. II is made in
all the fashionable feathers and fitted with
all the little toilet articles which a woman
may need even after a short spin in pursuit
of luncheon or dinner. Cold cream, lip
salve, face powder, soap leaves, tiny comb
and brush, mirror, small hat brush, pins,
hairpins, &c, are packed into the smallest
possible compass, leaving room Tor kerr
chief, gloves, dc.
There are purse and card case fittings
and though the bag is. of course, heavier
than the ordinary hand bag with vanity
fttings IL is not really burdensome and is
extraordinarily convenient for the motor
omar
The hand embroidered linen collar with
little embroidered or lace trimmed bow
or rarat of fine lingerie is a new fad. French
women have been wearing the dainty
things for several seasons past, but the
mode has reen slow in reaching us.
Naturally. one may spend a considerable
sum upon such neckwear, hut cheap imita-
tons are already in evidence.
Patent leather or dull kid pumps with
around their tops inch wide bands Of cloth
20 match the frock are shown in many Of the
popular colorings and made to order 70
match any cloth frock.
Hand wrought necklaces OF dull FURNISHED
silver and clouded amber are dhsrming
with some OF the all gray costumes.
The newest hat pins have large heads
and are used as hat trimming details. in
addition 10 fulfilling their original purpose.

Several Of the hest houses have launched
very fetching neck ruches and nnuffs of soft
fringed silk. Many wide fIills OF the silk
are used, and at the front OF the neckpiece
and on the large muf are posed several
big velvet and silk roses matching the silk
and held by dip knots Of velvet ribbon with
many ends and loops. These sets are
shown in several of the fashionable grays
and reds.
Some OF the smartest fur coats turned
out by Partisan makers have in place OF an
embroidered waistcoat an emb roidered
cravat or scarf which folds around the neck
and either ties once or merely crosses the
ends reaching 70 the waist line. Delightful
color effects are obtained in this way, and
yet it is not necessary to have the bit OF
CAV color when one does not want it. while
in the case OF a waistcoat the color cannot
be eliminated SO long as the coat remains
intact.
HOhJeQ CapuCnln nOONS OF Snort D11re1
fur, such as sealskin and b~reitschwanz, are
made for motor women and have been
much in evidence among motor parties at
recent football games.
The Partisan couture is less high than it
was last season, the hair being drawn loosely
back and massed about where the traditional
Greek knot is placed. There is, however,
no semblance Of the a r psyche knot in
the soft coils and puffs and curls Of the
couture a la mode. New York women in
general are still wearing their hair very
high, but the French influence has been
noticeable among the most modish women
OF the opera crowd.
One OF the prettiest Of the new face wells
10 be had at modest price IL a fine mesh
net with chenille or velvet dots at wide
intervals and a border of velvet ribbon
an inch or an inch and q half wide This
is far more chic than the cheap lace wells,
and a good lace veil is rather an expensive
luxury.
Hats covered with baby lamb are much
worn, this fur being thin and supple enough
TO be handled as milliner handle velvet.
Boots with patent leather or dull kid
vamps and colored cloth tops, in whose
sides are set strips of elastic matching the
cloth, vaguely recall the days OF the pru-
nella gaiter.
Hand wrought buttons nay be ordered
Of the jewellers, and some women are pay
ing appalling prices for such qualification
Of fastidious tastes. One woman recently
paid s., 800 for a necklace and eight buttons
Of silver and aquamarines TO add the finish
ing touches to a gray toilet.
