New York, Nov. 9-Some of the col
or combinations that are seen are no t
pleasing to think of, but are really
very attractive when seen in the cos
tune. One rose-pink net was mount
ed over golden yellow satin and had
satin BOWS Of a dull heliotrope in the
bodice and skirt. Nation blue com
bined with plum and prune are very
effective. The new roses, the peacock
blue and green. are popular. The
canary yellow seems to be the favorite
for evening frocks. There are some
times as many as five different colors
on many Of the Partisan gowns.
The smart three piece costumes are
in vogue. They are worn to theatres
and restaurants and anywhere that
kind of a toilette is suitable. The skirt
and loose wrap are made of velvet Or
cloth and the bodice OF net, satin or
chiffon, trimmed with the heavier ma
teria1.
Colored linen rundown collars en-
broidered in white are worn with the
ia ffeta waists and tailored suits. A
cred in the color Of the turn-over is
worn in the front, or a smart little
bow of the same silk as the waist.
There are also narrow cuffs of this lin
en- which are set under the cuffs of the
blouse.
The princess skirt is by no means to
be set aside this winter. The great
dress-makers are showing new and
elaborate models in this style, just at
the time when they were pronounced
too common by the people in general.
The latest princess skirts are trailing
but are not too full at the foot-line.
They reach three inches above the
waist, n the drapery, for it can hard
ly be called a blouse, is fastened to the
lining of the skirt. These costumes
are made in every material except the
heavy street suiting. which makes it
evident that they are to be worn only
as house gowns.
Because of the popularity of the in
tense shade Of purple, it has made all
other bright colors most fashionable.
The very latest ones are Am erican
Beauty red, blush purple, lemon yell
low, grass green, sapphire blue, rose
wood red and the brigtest of pink and
turquois blue. Skirts are zen lined
with vivid shades Of silk and the coats
worm with them have lowered Innings
in many colors.
The present style of foot gear is
shown in tan, and mostly in high but
ton boots. Light uppers and darker
vamps are tavorites. These are worn
wear. For evening wear, the shoes
and stockings must match the gown in
color and the idea of embroidery is
carried out the same as in the gown.
The name of satin Beatrice is given
to the new satin which is designed for
bridal costumes. The chief character
istic is it's suppleness, which by the
way, is the same with all the silks an d
satins that have been imported SO far.
This particular satin has the same lus-
trous look as any other but it is As
pliable and soft as crepe or messaline F,
yet it does not crease as will these fab
RIGS.
The novel part Of some of the long
coats, is that the edges are bound with
velvet, taffeta, MORE, or braid. They
are very wide in the cut. A particu-
larry modish one was cut on long lines
with the waist slightly raised in the
back. The front was fastened with
striped velvet vest, vest invisibly clos
ed and the edges Of the coat were
bound with velvet. The sleeves were
three quarter length and flowing.
