FASHION PARAGRAPHS FROM
NEW YORK.

Just now many of the dressiest
gown gown have a puff at the top of
the short sleeves and the more elab-
crate the gown and pronounced it's
style the higher up the puff Is placed.
A dressmaker who has a conservative
clientele of folk who wear a gown
through a season, said yesterday that
this high puff is one of the most try
ing fashions to persons with long
tween the upper arm and the wrist.
Moreover, believing it to be fleeing
mode she advises women who expect
to wear until spring gowns made now,
to adopt the more moderate shapes.
which brings the puff to the elbow.
The sloping shoulders are in evil
dence in separate winter wraps of all
classes and in tailor made suits. A
few very original models, of too evil
dent intent to depart from routine
fashions, have their sleeves plain at
the top and flaring into fullness at the
back of the arm toward the elbow in
more than a suggestion Of the hideous
shapes to which we were subjected
two or three years ago.
A favorite style for afternoon gown
is the new three-piece idea of varying
materials, but all of the same color.
For example, one elegant costume of
ole-gray broadcloth has been order
ed, the bodice of silk and short bolero
of velvet and chinchilla, with toque
of fur and Irish point. Again, q three-
piece costume of wine red liberty satin
with bands of panne velvet has a
bodice of chiffon and Empire coat Of
panne velvet. Empire coats and those
with lifted girdle and directoire re-
vers are especially happy for the new
idea costume.
The tailored lines and effects on
these afternoon gowns are always
marvels Of the art. A number of
princess and empire gowns of fine
cloths, silks and velvets have been or
dered overlaid with rich laces and
magnificent embroideries and passe-
menteries which form portion Of this
seasons lavishiness. The gowns are
in all the fashionable hues. cell and

little initial outlay. II scallop work

taste for fine needlework are carrying
out in addition the most elaborate
schemes in silk embroidery. In the

in pale colors to match the gown with
which they are to be worn forming
good alternative to white.
One of the most striking features Of
the moment In the realm OF jewelry
is the sudden revival Of the antique
AS regards both the lettings and the
gems themselves. Old fashioned and
cumbersome brooches. massive chains,
heavy gold or enamel buckets and
enormous loclxets Of ponderous weight
are nowadays as much valued by the
fashionable world as was the delicate
Italian filligree work which was so
much In vogue few years ago. Stones
whose names had almost been for
gotten and OF whose existence no one
excepting, perhaps, the stone cutters
themselves were aware are once more
assuming an important place in the
latest schemes. and are responsible
not only for letter. weights, trinket-
boxes. and such personal matters as
umbrella tops and charms. but are
being turned to account as jewelry Of.

At present the most popular fad of
the wardrobe is the guimpe frock Of
one sort or another. This pretty style
has held Its place for several months,
