PARIS FASHIONS
Special Correspondence of The Star.


PARIS, November II. 1906.
Parisians have fallen victims to new
fad. Every one who has any right to con-
slider herself any one Is hunting up her
patron saint and having him or her carved
In silver or ivory for the decoration OF
her automobile. This idea was quite I'M
consciously started by the dowager queen
OF Italy. who has been charming all Paris
with her gracious presence. The royal lady
is a great lover of outdoor sports and an
enthusiastic motorist. She is also deep
~ religious woman. and an exquisite little
statuette of st. Christopher Is placed In a
niche directly opposite her seat in the great
white automobile in which she travels The
novel notion has completely taken Paris by
storm. and an ivory saint is now as neces-
sary to the woman of fashion as the flexible
purse of chased silver with its long chain
of enamel links and its big lucky piece"
pendant.
Before leaving the subject of novelties
must not forget TO mention the high but
toned boots OF dark suede which are now
80 smart. In navy blue. bottle green. nut
brown and smoke gray these boots are
quite charming, worn, of course, with
dresses of exactly the same shade. In all
cases the soles and the heels are OF black
and not the color of the upper part of the
shoe.
Though we are supposed 20 be we'll into
the winter season no one would believe 1t
judging from the clothes that are being
worn. The lightest and airiest materials
are used for street costumes. blended, to be
sure, in a number of instances with rich
and solid stuffs. Although not a new idea,
this combination OF fabrics is a novel fea-
ture OF the seasons modes. In this con-
nection / have In mind a frock In which

A SILVER WEDDING.
Suggestions on How to Carry One Out
Successfully.

II you are sending out invitations have
them engraved in silver If less formal.
you can buy a box of square silver-gray
cards and envelopes to match, and write
at the top the dates 1SS1-1906 following
with the invitation.
At very pretty German silver wedding
last winter the pastor who performed the
original ceremony, the bridesmaid and
groomsman and several of the old guests
were present The wedding march was
played as before, and the wedding process
sion. changed outwardly somewhat. 1t is
true, but with hearts still warm and low
ing, came in Just as its members did a
quarter of a century before. The bride.
dressed in silvery gray, with true love
knots Of rose pink on corsage and in her
hair carried her old bridal bouquet-which,
according to the German custom, had been
carefully preserved all these years-then
silvered over for this occasion. The cere-
mony was then again performed, and the
happy pair received congratulations and
heartfelt wishes that the golden wedding
would still find them lovers true and tried.
In this particular case the center OF the
table was occupied by an imposing brides
cake. made at home, but decorated at the
caterers. above which hoated twenty-five
tiny gray tissue paper flags that futtered
prettily with every breath Of air Under
each plate and glass was silver paper
dolly. These can be purchased very cheap
ly, or any department store will have them
stamped out for you in silver paper II they
do not have them in stock. Tablecloths
and napkins of paper, with silver tracings,
can also be found at the larger shops. The
patties were served in ramekin-shaped ST.
yer paper cases. as also the frozen punch
The table, Of course, was set with as
much silver as possible The candIesticks
were silver, with silver shades for the can
dies. Souvenirs. in this case. consisted Of
square silver paper-covered boxes contain
ing each a slice of the wedding cake and
q silver cake. Flowers for silver we'd
ding, say the florists. are usually at this
season the ivory white chrysanthemums
mixed with gray-green foliage like the
leaves of the ribbon grass. few flowers
will suffice, as too much gray makes q
coiorless decorative effect.
Silver flags and roses made Of paper,
with silver paper butterflies. their wings
fecked with rose. may be employd to ad-
vantage. A pretty idea in decorating at
another silver wedding recently was the
placing over the mantel and on the wall
the two dates Of the marriage and the
anniversary, made from silver paper and
pasted on a dark background. while be-
meath them were two large wooden spoons
that had been sivered, crossed and tied
with big true lovers knot In old rose .
Special favors designed this year by Oscar
of the Waldorf for his horse show guests
are real horseshoes silvered over and put
into Dainty boxes and tied with ribbon.
Why could not you work out the horse
shoe idea either In decorations or as souve-
Mrs? The good luck superstition con-
nected with the horseshoe would make 1t
specially appropriate.

FUR HATS OF ALL SIZES
AND SHAPES FASHIONABLE

Written for The Star BY A. 7. Ashmore.
Fur hats OF all sizes, shapes and sorts are
immensely fashionable this winter There
are tiny fur toaues for the street suit and
fur coat, there are larger shapes fashion
able II too small a hat Is not becoming
and then there are as well large fiat shapes
in seal skin. lynx or chinchilla. trimmed
with flowers or aigrettes that are many
Of them ycharmingly pretty. 1t Is now the
prevailing fad to have a fur toque for the
fur jacket or fur set and even for the
velvet gown to be worn with a fur Jacket
there is frequently seen a fur instead of a
velvet hat
With a coat of caracul, lynx, mink or
sable-for any one who can afford a sable
wrap can surely possess also a tiny sable
toQue-the hat must correspond unless the
Jacket Is trimmed with a different sort of
fur, In which case the hat may carry out
the idea shown in the trimming. Lynx,
for example, may be found softer and
more becoming against the face than cara
cul, and II the caracul coat has lynx collar
and cuffs the muff and hat may be Of this
instead Of the baby astrakhan.
A tiny mink hat was trimmed only with
two small gold wings. one on each side Of
the hat. to broaden it somewhat, and this
hat. although ridiculously small was in
tensely smart.
Evening Hats Are Fur Trimmed.
Another fur hat was wide sailor shape
in seal skin. with the brim slightly bent up
all around and the only trimming a wreath
Of deep pink and red-shaded velvet roses
about the crown. The tulle cachepeigne
tilted the brim UP in back so that 1t did
not appear too fat or too conventional in
shape, and of its style this hat was also
most attractive. A black caracul hat was
Of oblong shape Of medium size. with
tuft Of ostrich feathers placed high on the
left side, giving most becoming lines to an
otherwise rather stin. hard shape For
the evening. hats are rather fur trimmed
than actually made Of the fur.
Trimming Of Fur Toques.
The very small fur hats require masses
Of soft wavy hair. and rows Of false curls
are generally needed with the small shapes
rather than the larger ones. There is room
for scarcely any trimming on these tur-
bans; but. indeed. fur calls for little added
adornment In mink or sable. instead Of
forming the hat entirely of the fur. many
attractive models are seen that are Of
velvet-black. red, blue. green, etc.-with
the animal draped about the brin. Color
can be given in the soft velvet crown, and
flowers and feathers are both smart this
winter Then there are the large lynx
hats, with head. tail and claws of the
animal all on the hat. These are worn
when wide. nat hat Is more becoming
than high. stiff turban or toque. In
chinchilla there are few wide-brimmed
hats to be seen trimmed with flowers and
maribout or ostrich plumes but the smaller
shapes are in the majority for all kinds or
fl1r hats

Photograph Frames and Jewel Bags.

Picture frames for photographs made of
silk or satin and ornamented with ribbon
embroidery flowers are comparatively new
this season, and will be most acceptable
gifts, for they may be used with appro-
priateness on either dressing table or in q
sitting room or parlor. Though these
frames, finished with an edging of white or
gilt wood. are attractive, a piece of bright
the whole more original and decorative.
Travelling jewel bags, comb and brush

toilet bottles and Jars are much more eff
sective and really more desirable gifts when

Black Lynx Popular.

Black lynx sets are being sold now at the
most ridIculously low prices, but 1t pays TO
get a good set, for the cheap furs can
never be expected to give much wear. Black
fox has been proven too perishable and Is
scarcely seen at all. Silver fox Is harder
and is decidedly popular this year. If black
furs are desired, then lynx, In spite of its
great popularity. Is still fashionable, and.
IN fact Is the favorite black fur.
White lynx and fox retain their popularity
to a remarkable degree, but are worn
chiefly by young girls, to whom they have
proven remarkably becoming. With light
cloth gowns, gray, pale blue and mauve.
and with black velvet, set OF white furs
give just the right touch.

Shrinking Cloth.

The question Of how to shrink heavy
cloths is often a difficult one to solve.

It, as the garment must be pressed when

Speaking of skirts. the Scotch tartans and
plaids are having quite a vogue here in
Paris. The cheap, badly cut plaid skirt Is
an abomination. but in good stuff cut by
master tailor it is all that is chic. The
newest plaids, to use an Irishism, are more
like checks in broad squares of two colors,

SUGGESTS MANY NAMES
FOR THE RICHMOND TEAM
Ladies Eagerly Responding Offer Of Season Ticket
All Baseball Games Here for the Most
Acceptable Suggestion.

II there ever remained a lingering
doubt as to the enthusiasm manifest
among the fairer sex regarding the Rich
mond lbase- ball team for the contng
season this can be easily dispelled by
casual glance at the stack OF letters
that have been received BY, the sporting
editor of The Times-Dispatch suggesting
appropriate names for the aggregation
that Ia to represent the capital city in
the Virginia state League.
Last week The Times-Dispatch sporting
editor announced that a season ticket
admitting lady and escort to all games
played on the diamond here would he
given to the Manchester or Richmond
lady who sent In the most appropriate!
name for the Richmond nine. The first
announcement was to the effect that tho
season ticket would admit only the lady
who sent In the name. This was followed
ir the next edition with the announce
ment that the ticket would be for the
lady and her escort. 1t will read: pass
to all games Miss and escort" OF
course this means that the two will have
the best seats in the grand stand.
Several names have been suggested.
Letters have been received from ladies
living In every seton of the city, and
not few have como from Manchester.
Ono young lady IN the West End sug-
gests White Stockings as tho most
appropriate name. From Church Hill
comes the suggestion that the nine DO
dubbed the Dixie Trotters.' ..RiIH-
mond IS god enough for heyoung lady
who resides in Fulton, and she argues

The club will be known as the Richmond

from which they hail.
