Odds and Ends of Fashion.

on to the quill at close intervals, ane
this note is repeated in the steep ban
deau at the side. The brim Is narrow
in the back and would be very wide. In
deed. In front were It not folded back
upon itself. Just for all the world 40
though the wearer had received a slap
In the face which spoiled the shape OF
the hat.
Since those uncurled plnmes demand q
length and luxuriousness of f1ue to make
them at all presentable, Ii Is not at all
likely that they will become any too pop.
ular just at present. their cost being con-
siderably In excess of the curled kind.
The willow plume Is being pushed con-
siderably, and here the uncurled tip does
not seem forlorn and bedraggled. A
pretty effect Is oftentimes gained In the
knotting on half way In its length OF q
hue of another color. For example. q
long plume In black has dues OF Q
brilliant royal blue knotted on: pale
blues show iavenders and lilacs knotted
through. and white plumes are mated
with almost every color on the card.
Pipings are making strong bid for
favor, and one sees them In all sorts OF
new and attractive connections. While IL
is hardly a piping in one sense OF tho
word, very effective work is being done
with thick and heavy cable cords COW
cred with silk. The covering In not
shirred or wrinkled on as heretofore: II
lies quite smooth and fat. and the cord

smaller presentations-is twisted into all
sorts Of patterns and designs Watch
springs, coils, unduafing ropes, lattices.
etc, are so fashioned. and very effective
trimming they make at but small ex-
penditure of time money.
Striped silks, cut the bias ana
piped with little featherbone cording,
are being used to excellent results To
peep forth either edge of a nuns fold. to
border strappings. to edge pleats. trim
collars and cuffs. strap waistcoats. ETC..
are some of their missions, and when the
color contrast Is cleyerly selected quite
an elaborate air can be achieved on
simple frock with such assistance.
The wherewithaI that one shall cover
the arms is bound to be vexed question
in the determining of the lines of cos
tune this coming season. The dress
makers In Paris are advocating sleeve
less dresses. There are some that display
q half sleeve, and there are models on
view in which the sleeve Is carried In an
exaggerated fashion down In mitaine
shape over the hand the thumb being
slipped through a little loop provided
for just this purpose. And between this
last and the sleeveless mode one can take
any choice.
1t would look as though the sleeveless
mode were to have quite a run, IL one 10
to judge from the preparations made In
high-class houses to meet Its require
ments. Lingerie sleeves. lace sleeves. and
even fussifed chiffon sleeves. are already
on view to favored customers. II II to be
noted In this connection that such
articles are all OF French make; that
not stitch OF machine work enters into
their making, and that there Is usually
rather q scant puff at the top and q
reasonably close Ut from there to the
hand.
Where the separate sleeve IL used there
is usually n sleeve cap. an epauiette or
some other shoulder elaboration In the
dress, SO that the mandate OF broad
shoulders, small waist and slender hips
Is not interfered with The sleeveless
style does cut more than n little from
ones natural shoulder breadth, unless
especial pains be taken to broaden II
ont, and the natural balance OF the
figure seems a trifie askew.
Collars are much higher In the recent
arrivals. and there Is tendency to bone
them firmly under the ears at the back
and with still another rod Inserted On
each side between these two points,
When IL is considered that upon the
shape, size and set Of the collar so much
face and the chapeau can
both be unpleasantiy affected by badly
boned or fitting collar-it seems odd that
the average dressmaker pays 30 little at
tention to this important point
