Toilets for southern wear are just now
occupying the attention of the big dress
makers. Every year smart women VOW
they Will remain at home this winter, or
at least longer than usual but with the first
manifestations of very bad weather the
exodus begins. California, Mexico Florida
and the BermUdas are the vantage points
for most of these birds of passage, whose
wardrohes are naturally designed for one or
the other of these special climates. So
where some OF the toilets have almost
a northern suggestion in their wntriness,
others are tropically light and gray, elabo-
rate garden party effects rubbing elbows
with simple linen suits, which have the
stamp of June mornings.
A veto is placed against any bit of fur as
trimming. but more than one white muff
will be carried into hot climes, the hand
warmer having established itself quite
soiidly as a fetching winter ornament.
Marahout and ostrich feathers compose the
larger number Of those gay trihes, which.
with their attendant scarfs, are made up

MANY STUNNING EFFECTS WORN

Written for The Star by Katharine Anderson
Time was that the sportswomau's ward
robe was peculiarly summer one, but the
whole tenor of her life has changed. Coun-
try homes are now thrown open In mid
winter and the girl who intends to accept
invitations to country house parties must
have a complete winter sporting outfit. This
wardrobe comprises appropriate garb for
skating, hockey, automobiiing, walking and
CT oss-country runs.
However abundant the wardrobe and
means of the hostess, the inexperienced
guest must never look to her to borrow
sporting raiment. In no line OF dressing
does individuality show more plainly than
in the frocks, coats and small fittings worn
for outdoor recreation in winter.
With the rage for swifter and more
costly motor cars there comes a dis
inclination to set aside these promoters OF
outdoor life during the winter months, and
the girl who wishes to be ultra-snart must
forget that she ever was content to pose
on a green lawn in trailing robes ana

look and eye holds the latter in place Sc

hook and eye holds the latter in place Sc
curely when the bag is filled.
But these practical and really lovely re-
ceptacles for carrying opera glass handker-
chief and fan, are not the only novel offer
ings of the season in the way OF fascinat-
ing fancy bags. To accompany fine even
ing froCks there is a wealth of spangled
and beaded effects which defy description
in their exquisite embroideries and the
delicacy of their patternings.
Quite the most popular shape of the sea-
son is a long bag that spreads out at the
bottom widely and has the corners gently
curved. The edges may or may not be
bound with braid. and a jsweied or filigree
gilt clasp finishes the opening at the top
Especially choice in this style of bag Is one
built of very supple peau de sole, TN pale
bluc-amethyst shade. Across the front In
bow knot design is applied fittings OF the
narrowest baby ribbon in a color that eX-
actly matches the silk, while inteTSDersed
in winding traceries are dull gilt spangles.
Another bag In two-tone silk shows Louis
embroidery In pastel blues and greens and
pinks with studdings OF tiny colored beads
that rise in the form of an iris nearly to
the top of the bag. Each petal eliminates in
a large oval stone of rich hue that gives it
almost the appearance of a precious gem.
As a suggestion for the woman who en-
joys making smart accessories for herself,
a bag recently seen at the opera was OK
ceptionafly pretty and could be copied with
very small trouble. The bottom Of tee bag
was built OF a piece of fur that exactly
matched the fur toque which the fair thea
tergoer held in her lap. Gathered with
considerable fullness inside this fur was
short bag of satin in an opalescent shade.
white silk cord drew the wide heading
together at the top, and a small fur head
emerging from the fur band at ;he bottom
adorned each side of the Dag.
A wrinkle which marks nearly every
opera bag of this seasons vintage is an ad-
ditional bag or opening on the outside, in
which the new thin opera glasses can be
inserted without disturbing or crushing any
lace scarf or fine handkerchief carried in
the bag proper. In this way the little finer
les of miladfs toilet can be lteut as fresh
and smooth as If they we're lying inside
the sweet sachetS of her chifonier.

evening frDcks especially those of elabo-
rate nature, all accessories carry out the
same idea coiffures showing diamond-stud-
ded feathers, the fan and satin slippers,

Fitting Accessories.
Antique silver shoe buckles. sleeve
flounces of yeIowed net embroidered with
gold or silver. and necklaces of tube-shaped
pearls are some fitting accessories advised
for evening frocks in empire style.
But however persuasive they are, the en-
pre- ana princess Styles HAVE llOl Suc-S Gu

bottom stiffening and whose waist line is
conventionally drawn. And for sucas.-1s
must be declared that the tournure OF old
fashioned bustle-perhaps dress fmproNel-
would be a prettier worlds now a recog-
nized necessity.

in daily request and is seen in all its orlgi-

So the woman Of fashion finds herself
presented with two definite choices. With
one all arts are employed to make her as
slim as possible, with the other the figure
is built out till at the back the skirt gives
the effect of being supported by a half
hoop.
But to return to southern toilets, some
charming examples of which are given upon
this page.
Charming Examples.

ing and two afternoon frocks in late and
charming models. The first at the left Is
a princess gown in apple green silk ging-
ham, with robe front and yoke of white

in apple-green prettily outline the front of
this gown, and detachable cuffs of black
taffetas give character to the short shirred

Dress for Girls.

For smart occasions nadernoiselle may
allow herself the luxury of a velvet collar
on her tailormade coat. and she may even
arrange lace jabot or cravat upon her
silk blouse, so that its daintiness may be
in evidence should she leave her coat open
a little at the throat But for the rest she
should take sweet simplicity for her motto
this winter, and she will find that she
cannot go far wrong. Even In the matter
OF evening frocks for mademoiselle the
styles are far simpler now than they were
this time last year, a fact at which one may
well rejoice.

THE LATEST WRINKLES.
Fashionable Variations to the Opera
Bag.

Nowadays every woman owns an opera
bag, whether she goes to the theater twice
a year or twice a week. 1t is an accessory
which has become inseparable from dainty
femininity, and in its many lovely forms is
as delicate and beautiful bit of refinery
as graces miladfs most elegant toilet
All sorts of exquisite materials are en-
ployed to shape this charming little recep-
tacle, while each woman prides herself on
having an opera bag which is not only more
artistic than that of her sister, but which is
absolutely unique in shape and mounting
Among the newest and most practical of
these unusual bags are the various fat and
full shapes commonly seen, built of bright
hued tapestrie with gilt mountings and
gold braid bindings. The most attractive
of these durable cloth bags show a white
or cream background, interviewer with
conventionaliZed flowers in nouveau art de-

Massachusetts conducts a state sana-
torium for eonsumptives at Rutland and
reports have been made showing that of
the $50 patients who remained in the sana-
forum long enough to fairly test the treat
ment, 544 gained weight. and over "a per
cent OF the incipient cases were apparently
cured.
It Is not medicine that works these Won
ders at Rutland. 1t Is outdoor air all the
time, winter and summer, day and night.
1t has been found in Rutland, as elsewhere
that the equipment of sanatorium for a
consumptive is very inexpensive for the
simple reason that the main purpose is to
let the air in rather than keep 1t out.

the froth of the wardrobe. but its basis
The charm OF the empire styles IS delight
fully manifested in a number of toilets
designed for southern wear. The ELUSIVE
use OF gold. the radiant colors. the splendid
Jewels worn and the elaborate colfrures of
the moment. all lend themselves superbly
to the empire epochs. Especially are these
short-waisted styles suAed TO evening
toilets, when their little suggestion of
tea-gown abandon seems In keeping.
High Waist Line.
But charming day gowns also show the
high waist line. which Is achieved in more
ways than could be chronicied at one sit
ting. Sometimes crush belt of embroid-
cred silk OF velvet effects It, this fastening
at the front with q high rich buckle. Again
there Is definite little bodice OF infant-like
line. from which hangs the skirt. upon
whose careful, even perfect cut, all the
cachet OF the gown depends. With such

The collarless waistcoat to be worn I'M
der the heavier outer garments is an in
dispensabe protection to the chest during
long exposure to cold and wind. These
waistcoats come in Danish kidskin and mt
the figure perfectly. They are worn cs-
pecialy with the loose short coat for active
sports.
A New Bonnet.
For drizzling or rainy weather, which
comes even in midwinter. furs look out of
place. There are three new pieces of head
wear for Just such days. The toque-poke
bonnet is the most unique. By simple ar
rangement of elastic bands the POKE bon
net of silk rubber tied under the chin Is
converted into a toque. The brim is hext-
BILE and is easily turned up and fastened.
The hat and hood in one piece is normally
conventional hat for the automobile.
At the back of the hat is tele-
scoped band which may be adjusted to
serve as hood by merely pulling 1t down.
The hood and scarf combined is a novel
arrangement. which extends around the
head and fastens in the back with ball and
socket snaps. The hood portion Is thrown
back from the band in front, comes around
the head and ties, scarf fashion, under the
chin.

good for hockey-where quick and unre-
stricted action IS most desired. For walk

pensable. For hockey some prefer the
three-quarter sleeve met by the long dog

the wrist. With 1t Is worn fur toque or

Long Fur Coats.
The long fur coat is for autonaobilists.
1t falls to the feet In ample folds and is
either single or double breasted. with
shawl collar, huge cuffs and side pockets.
1t is made in variety of styles, some
with paddock back. others with full en-
pire effect belted in; still others falling
straight from the shoulder in true box
style.
Next to the long coat in popularity
comea the three-quartsr coat of cloth
lined with fur. with collar. cuffs and hat
to match. These garments are of generous
proportions and are made up in broad
cloth, eheviot CLOTH even corded pen
galine silk, and lined with locked
squirrel, that is, panels of gray and white
and alternating, ramo fur, black lynx and
nllskrat. The accessories, that fS the
collar, cuffs and hat, are often made of
more expensive furs. as sable, mink, &c,
and on the coat lined with the locked
squirrel gray squirrel is used
Tailored Coats.
For the woman VINO cannot anord 10
own distinctively automobile raiment
come tailored cloth coats in full or three
quarter lengths. They are made of En-
glish blanket cloth of unobtrusive over
paids, on a light background, cheviot
cloth in shepherd checks. or plain melton.
They are ulster in style and in them is
often combined an element of style and
exclusiveness that renders the coat con-
ventional enough in styles and material
to be of general service. Their distin-
gushing point is their simplicity and ap-
parent adaptation to various uses.
Quite the smartest Partisan coat for a
young girl is Of white Danish leather. 1t
is lined with thibet fur and has collar and
cuffs of ermine. Luxurious and fastidious
in the extreme and most difficult to keep
immaculate. it is possessed of earmarks OF
exclusiveness. The coat is single breasted,
three-quarter length, in empire style, with
band belt false revers and buttoned bands
on the sleeves below the elbows. The skirt
is strapped in fancy designs. For wear
over elaborate dinner or ball gowns IS Il

lined with hamster. reaching to the foor.
Instead of sleeves 1t has two Sits in old
time dolman style. 1t is invaluable for a
