New Cande1abra
and E1ecroliers

A MONG the most charming candelabra
~ which are here this season are those
of Tiffany fevrille glass. Single can
dlesticks are also made in this glass. with
shades to match. They are also to be used
for electric lights and are to be had for
use with one or more bulbs as is con-
venient. The single candlesticks, or cleo
troliers, have quite large bowls of the
shades are also quite large.
Dresden electroliers. or candelabra, are
also most attractive. They have charm
ing, delicate figures holding the central
upright and from these dropping branches
extend. ending in gilded cups for the lights
A great variety of charming designs are
shown at the importers shops in these

used for the table during the winter.
Rivaling these in popularity.are the lamps.
electroliers and candelabra of white onyx
and gilt Some of these are in the shape
of delicate urns. while others are in the
usual candelabra design. There are also
white and gilt figures supporting branches
of lights. They would seem particularly
delicate and charming for bed room and
boudoir use, but hardly so attractive as
the Dresden lamp for the table,
One of the most attractive of the new
candelabra for electric lights has white
elephant as q base bearing a howdah on
its back with curtains made of strings of
crystal beads. Inside this the light Is con-
cealed. There are also lotos plants, with
a large lotos flower in the center and
circle Of buds all around. A large light is
hidden In the central flower and smaller
ones in all the buds

EXQUISITE Holiday Gifts Seen in the Exclusive Shops

W1HATEvER cynics may find to say
w about the golden age being long
way past. milliners and modistes
are having a golden age all of their own
this season. and a rather exaggerated one
at that. Not only the gold fever, however,
but the silver fever is raging fiercely in the
world of womans belongings, and the
woman who wishes her Christmas fancy
work to have a distinctly modish touch
should be sure, if possible. to have a bit
of gold embroidery, cloth Of gold, or gold
or silver spangles tucked In somewhere.
A most charming gift for any woman,
and, indeed. almost necessary addition to
the fashionable toilet. is the gold or silver
embroidered scarfs for wear with Empire
gowns or, indeed. with any of the pictur-
esque evening costumes now in vogue.
Fashion contrives always to give some
distinctive note of change each season
even to these minor vagaries of the mode
so that these dazzling scarfs are not at all
what the tinsel and gold thread scarfs of
last season were. Then the Syrian scarfs
and colors. were used. These scarfs were
in the Empire shape. and very dazzling and
handsome. done in strongly marked geo.
metrical designs in distinctly Persian or
Syrian styles. They also had the advan-
tage of wearing immensely we'll, as the
gold was interviewer instead of being put
on in spangles or embroidery.
But, alas! Now that the new scarfs have
appeared these last years scarfs no longer
are satisfactory. They look heavy and
even a little tawdry beside the delicate
fresh diaphanous scarfs of this season
The Empire frocks also are infinitely more
harmonious with the new scarfs.
Instead of being covered all over with
gold or silver. these are only most ele-
gantly bordered with appliqae or gold Sc
quins, or, If embroidered. with only light

Eccentric ashions
in Midwinter Furs

~ UEER things in furs are now CROP
ping out at the fashionable furriers'
that suggest a midwinter madness
on the part of the furriers if the craze for
something novel is permitted to go on to
Its legitimate conclusion.
One OF these very odd things proudly
displayed as a prize possession of one of
the most exclusive and expensive shops
was a muff made of gray wool lace en-
broidereo with cut steel and silk and
trimmed heavily with chinchlla. The muff
was rather fiat and of medium size. The
wool lace formed the upper part and the
chinchilla the lower part coming up also
chinchilla collar decorated with the lace
accompanied the mum. An economical way
to patch on an old chinchilla muff one
would say. but otherwise there hardly
seems to be any excuse for running the
beauty of fur by such patchy elaboration
Certainly when the distressingly high price
was taken into consideration one would
prefer at least to do the patching at home
If it were necessary.
Another odd fur fashion which has
cropped out this season Is carried out ir
moleskin other short-haired furs The
muff is made of rows of diamond shaped
tabs. There are about ten rows of the tabs
in the entire circumference of the mum
The points are down and the rows of tabs
horizontal. Each row of tabs sets smooth
ly over the other. The collar also was
made entirely of tabs.
Strange commingling of furs is also to be
noticed this winter. One muK at a most
exclusive furrier's was made of mink, with
an ermine overpiece and mink piece over
this. The muff was nat with rufies of
the mink at the ends. Then over the side
which was to be carried out was q large
piece Of ermine fully half as large as the

of color in the hat. If softened by white
or cream lace. SO that the color does not
come too close to the face. even the dark
est grays are found most becoming. Gray
is always made doubly attractive IL given
character by combining with 1t some shade
that happens to be peculiarly becoming to
the wearer-yellow. pink, blue or palest
green. Yellow and orange are effective i'm
combination with rfearly any shade of gray.
The brightest reds and the deepest shades
of claret are alike fashionable, but no
in cloth. although there are many deep
red velvets that are exceedingly smart
1t is considered really smart this year to
wear a simple style Of dress on many oc-
casions that formerly called for the most
elaborate costumes. Young girls in par
ticular are going in for the elegance of
simplicity in all their walking gowns, keep
ing their handSomer costumes for the most
formal occasions. This Is naturally the
most sensible manner in which to dress,
even though 1t does call for two expensive
cloth suits in season when formerly one
could be made to suffice. AS a street suit
has more constant wear than any other, 1T
stands to reason that it should be as be-
coming as possible. and no best suit of the
year before will look really smart

A fair sum should always be allowed for a
handsome costumes for an elaborate gown
made by a cheap and inexperienced tailor
has seldom IL ever been known to turn out
well. With only one cloth costume 1t is,
perhaps. better to have the gown short
but when a cloth instead of a velvet dress
is chosen for the afternoon this costume
must have a long train.
Velvet is always in fashion. but this year
there are more handsome cloth gowns no.
ticeable than there are velvet. so that adj
vantage had best be taken of the seasons
fashions to have an effective cloth made
up this year. Velvet can never serve as
a necessity il one has velvet reception
gown. for velvet cannot stand too frequent
wear. At present no velvet gown, however
costly, is thought any smarter than an
elaborate cloth dress.

the center. A dark cloth may be consider
ably lightened by the fancy vest, while
with a light shade there may be different
tones of the color introduced in the
vest. Gold and silver trimming are also
in vogue this winter, gold being seen prin-
cipally in the different shades of brown
hat are now fashionable. while silver
orightens up the gray and is charming
with receptions gowns of blue, pink and
mauve cloth. Lace jabots. with lace ruff
f1es in the sleeves. trim only the coat and
skirt costumes in the most delicate shades
of cloth. as fur. rather than lace, seems to
be preferred this year.
1t is positively stated that only the long
est train skirts are to be worn for after
noon. apd in view Of this mandate it is
astonishing to notice the numbers Of short
plated skirts that are to be seen every
where. Certainly woman seems to be at
last asserting her independence of Dame
Fashion and is going directly against what
is so strictly commanded. While for any
style Of coat and skirt costume-save in
velvet. which is never suitable for a short

tracery Of gold thread. They are made of
gauze. chiffon or mousseline de sole in fine
qualities. A narrow border of bright gOl(
or silver in delicate Empire designs may
go all around the edges. or the ends alone
may be embroidered in this way.
Gold and silver seauins are employed, and
here and there rather heavy applique of
gold leaves. flowers or vines is used. But
this is done only rarely and in conjunction
with thin, slight designs. which give a
most charmingly fragile effect. White
scarfs embroidered either with silver or
gold sequins and applique are the most
effective of all. Black scarfs are also
shown a great deal. The colored scarfs
except when carrying out a costume scheme,
are not SO effective.
Another way in which the craze for gold
may enter into the Christmas gift field is
in silk and broeade bags for opera glasses
ETC., now so popular. These bags, whether
mounted on metal clasps or simply drawn
up with cords. are now trimmed with gold
or silver embroidery or seauins. If flow
cred or figured silk. velvet or brocade is
used the design is outlined with gold thread
or seauins
Sometimes no design is used but the en-
tire bag, whether of satin, silk or velvet,
is covered with sequins placed quite close
together. They are Just as effective, how
ever. when they are scattered over the bag
at rather long spaces. Gold sequins look
awfully well either used In this way or ir,
splashing design on velvet in gray, tan
white or brown: silver also looks very
beautiful on all these colors in velvet
Heavy or light gold embroidery is also used
to decorate these small bags. 1t may be
either appliaued ornaments or the genuine
gold embroidery.

GleEEN CLOTH AND VELNET COSTUME

A the season advances xraiaalis'
~ line is being drawn between the
Il severe tailor costumes for walk
ing and general morning wear and
the elaborate cloth gowns for calling, re-
ceptions. luncheons. etc. For afternoon a
cloth costume must be elaborate in every
sense of the word, but is not necessarily
made up in pale and delicate colorings, as
dark shades are unusually fashionable this
winter. Black. for example, deliberately
trimmed with lace and embroidery, is de-
cidedly in vogue. while the somber shades
of gray, purple and wine color are consid-
cred exceedingly smart at the moment
Despite all that is being said to the con-
trary, it is by means true that short
jackets are alone fashionable. for if any
thing. there are more cloth coats that come
below the waist line than there are of the
short bolero Elton. The shorter the
jacket the more trimming it requires, but
this does not mean that the long coats are
by any means plain, as even the Directoire
models. that fall almost to the hem of
the skirt have considerable adornment in
the form of braiding and embroidery Di-
rectoire coats are extremely fashionable
this winter and are seen even more in
cloth than in velvet or silk. This STYLE of

ages to show off the figure to advantage.
but, like the Empire, it requires a nat
urally good figure that good lines may be
evolved and should only be attempted by
a woman of tall. slight build. The Direc-
toire style is more suitable for a coat and
skirt costume. while the Empire model is
particularly good for any style of wrap.

a flare to the skirt. but there is no trim
ming below the waist line while on the
sides as well as in the back the skirt is
unusually long. The jacket is generally
quite short for this style of dress and is
left open in front to show the deep lace
yoke on the gown. In the back the jacket
should be sloped up toward the center SO
as not to fall over the plaits of the skirt
The coat may be covered with all-over en-
broidery or have only wide collar and
revers that are embroidered and covered
with handsome embroidered lace
This is a remarkable fur year. Never
were fur coats seen in such profuson or
| fur trimmings SO extensively used. In
stead of the separate fur boa or stole the
coat collar itself is now frequently faced
| with fur. while sable astrakhan is often
| used directly as trimming. While a fur
| cuff at the elbow cannot give any appre-
ciable warmth. it is smart. nevertheless,
| and 1t can still give great comfort. 1t is
| fashionable this year to have handsome
| cloth velvet gown made either Empire
| or princess. and instead Of having a jacket
| to correspond to wear over it fur or
| cloth wrap is worn. which may be slipped
| off after entering the house. This gown Is
| then often trimmed in some way with ful
| and Is made warm enough to be worn
| sometimes without an extra wrap. Ermine
| and sable are the favorite fur trimmings
but there are many less expensive skins

girl friends to one another. They are the
new Empire belts made to wear with EN-
pire gowns or to simulate the corselet
gowns. They are very wide and made OF
silk elastic, so that they take the curve OF
the figure. They. are fastened either In
front or back and are decorated with steel
beads gold beads, etc.. around the top.
The fastening at the top Is In. gold OF
silver arabesque in Empire designs and
finished with dangling ornaments of jewels
These are set in hanging chains in loops,
low ones on both sides. Some Of the belts
have canoes set in the chains instead of
jewels. Other belts not so wide and also
made of the black silk elastic are studded
with steel all over. but not heavily. The
elastic used in these belts is of course
not stiff. In fact. it is more like heavy
satin stockinette material. with elastic rur
through at intervals.
Among the Powered silk belts there seems
to be a tendency to go back to the narrow
plain belts instead of the wide crushed
ones. Or perhaps stout women have de-
manded change.
The fact is that nothing is more painful
than plump woman or short-waiste6
cred silk. and yet, although every one
knows they should do so. stout women are
not alweys strong minded enough to sticl
to narrow belts when their slender sisters
are poisoning forth in large floral effects
Therefore the narrow Powered betting has
been invented. 1t Is very heavy and rather
stiff and not more than an inch and three
quarters in width. The designs are most
attractive. small but vivid flowers beins
used on rich. dark grounds-brown, bright
dark blue. deep red. etc.

Don't fail to look dainty. 1t is the most
expressive word which can be applied to a
woman.
A woman may be stylish, well dressed,
good looking and lots of other things with
out any considerable expense, but to live
up to the requirements of dainty" means
something more.
1t means absolute freshness of neckties,

woman or girl of average means If she will

gave the effect of being plastered on the

than plain mink or plain ermine muff
this creation was more than twice as ex-
pensive as either would have been, for not
only was an unnecessary amount Of rich
fur used but the exclusive design was con-
sidered by the furrier to be worthy of an
eXorbitant amount.

Buckles Come in Sets.

Many Of the prettiest buckles of the sea-
son come in sets. one broad ornament for
the back of the belt and a buckle to match
for the front. Enameled effects are liked
best, but there are any number of exam
pies that are stunning.
The round neck and Dutch collars that
are to be so much worn have brought into
vogue neck chains that fit closely about the
throat. A charming chain OF this descrip-
ton is composed of squares Of topaz elab-
orately set in French gilt.

the Empire wrap is well known byb now
with its deep-fitted yoke and short-waisted
lines but the Directoire model is less IA
miliar. This coat also gives the short
wasted effect that is apparently so eagerly
sought this winter. and yet 1t Is only really
becoming to those whose natural waist line
chances to be unusually long. In the Di-
rectoire coat the sleeves are generally all
in one piece with the coat itself, and this
always gives the long, sloping shoulder
line-somet imes becoming, but frequently
the reverse. The cloth is often braided and
trimmed with silk cord tassel on both
sleeves and Jacket. The lower part of the
coat must have sufficient fullness to be
graceful. but as it is to be worn over a
cloth skirt there must not be too much
material.
Any style of short coat demands GER
tain amount of trimming but this season
the boleros and Etons seem to acquire
even more than their due in embroidery
and fancy braiding of all descriptions. The
little Empire jackets are many of them
particularly pretty with their fancy vests
passementerie. and their velvet and silk
trimming BY short jacket this year is
meant simply the jacket that does not
come below the waist line. unless there
happen to be double tabs in front and
back. which down over the wide
belt. Loose. fancy jackets are smarter
than any style of short-fitted coat, even
If the jacket is deliberately trimmed. If
a loose short coat is not becoming, then
some other model had best be selected.
