FASHION NOTES GATHERED HERE AND THERE
FASHION HINTS

are in great vogue. and simulated button
holes of narrow silk folds Of cords are
usual accompaniment of these.
Crochet buttons Of silk and linen are ex-
tremely smart. and are to be had in col
orings to harmonize with all the newest
shades of the season. They can also be
made up to special order. though this is. Of
course. more expensive.
Tho Fascinating Stripe.
Most attractive among the new suit ma
terials are the striped serges In both fins
and heavy weaves The white serge suit.
which enjoyed such a vogue last summer.
will be more than ever popular. and in ad-
dition many interesting stripes are shown.
One of these, which Is particularly cool
looking, 10 Of a very heavy white serge and
has quarter Of an inch broken stripes In
a warm gray at intervals Of half an inch
apart. Another very fine white serge has
alternate half-inch stripes Of navy blue and
gray between white spaces Of equal width.
Pin lines In red on a white ground are in
favor once more, sometimes SO close as to
look almost like the old-fashioned mint
stick. again a half-inch and more apart.
Often two or three different colors are
tremendously combined, while black and
white In every conceivable width of stripe
and spacing are much used.
AS every woman who has ever tried 1t
knows. the making up of striped material
Is not easy. If the stripes do not match
perfectly. IL they are at the wrong slant.
or the cut Of a suit Is bad, the results are
painful in the extreme. Exercise the great
est care In the matching especially. Never
be tempted to make up a striped gown
without the most careful measuring and
precaution. to turn the goods on the right
side before stitching to see that no slips
have occurred.
There are many interesting and novel
ways in which the striped materials are
being made. Sometimes the coat Is straight,
while the skirt Is cut on the bias; again,
both are very much bias, with the stripes
meeting in seam in the centers OF the
is on the bias. while the skirt is perpen-
dicular. with self trimming Of bias or
Acknowledgment bands.
Capes Are Worn.
For warm weather capes are to be rather
with sleeves is always stylish and more
comfortable until well on in the spring.
There are many wraps with two or more
long shoulder capes and loose armholes,
the lower cape giving good protection. and
this model garment has the added advan-
tage that 1t cannot possibly injure the most
delicate lace or chiffon. All evening coats
are made to fasten up we'll at the throat
with a lace chiffon collar and jabot, for
even If soft scarf is worn underneath
there Is danger of COLI IL the wrap Is open
at the neck At this season evening cloaks
begin to grow somewhat shorter than win
ter styles. but they remain very full and
loose. SO as to be altogether distinct from
the afternoon and carriage garments. The
empire model is still q popular one. and Is
seen in heavy textures, such as cloth and
satin. az well as in all tho light silks and
chiffons
For the Dainty Neck.
Butterflies and "rabats'' are Of the great
est interest to the up-to-date girl who
wears the turned-down linen collar as
faithfully as do her brothers. cousins and
other masculines. The difference Ia that
hers are embroidered and that she wears
with them all sorts of chic and dainty but
terfy bows Of a lingerie order. as we'll as
those made of silken rosettes. Rabats.
which are the long. plated and lace-trim-
med lingerie neck fixings that used to be
called jabots. are shown in innumerable
styles that have the hall mark of their
Partisan origin. and these also are things
that use up much of miladys pin money
these days.
For the girl who wishes to conserve this
the pin money-there are many tricks
worth trying. The ruching counters show
many styles of lace edged plaitings that
can be transformed into butterflies with

Plain footing gathered very full makes
especially pretty bows, and this may be
laundered successfully over and over SO
well as a very smart form of the pert little
bows that make an almost plain face
pretty.
The Seasons Sashes.
Several novel kinds Of sashes have ap-
Deared this sDrfDR upon 1Ouna desipned
for younger women. One Of these ribbon
garnitures. made from opalescent MORE.
with narrow black edge. had two fine
points of the ''swallowtaiI' effect into
which the ends were divided. Another
sash. made for q charming biscuit colored
costume, was likewise of MORE ribbon. in
this case plain black. tied In high bow at
the back, the hens being finished with
fringe. Still another was made OF deli
cate chine ribbon, having an exquisitely
variegated fringe harmonizing with the
floral corors Of the sash.
A Popular Novelty.
A fashion which is making great head
way IL the big. loose sleeve, or, to de-
scribe it differently, a big drapery about
the arm hole, which answers as a sleeve.
1t is a wonderfully graceful fashion and
seems almost universally becoming. This
idea Is simply development of the Shout
der draperty which has been in vogue all
winter. 1t has now grown more voluminous
and Is pushed further OF the shoulder.
New Fan Design.
A new idea in feather fans has been
recently introduced. The feathers may be
coque's feathers. pheasants. birds of gayer
plumage or the quiet pigeon. and the sticks
tortoise shell. When the fan IL closed
the head Of the bird ornaments the first
stick, and when open It is on one side.
Those who like such q use of birds consider
this q charming effect.
For the School Girl.
It has always been one Of the heaviest
crosses school girls have had to bear to
be told that they must not ask for pretty
gold and 1eweled trihes; that they must
wait until their formal bow has been made
to smart society before they can hope to
reyel in the sparkle and CLEAN Of lots of
Jewels. as did the fair Marguerite. It seems
a long wait to the girl in her early teens,
and, to tide her over until that rosy
time when she Ia declared a full hedged
society bud, the arbiter Of fashion and
fads, assisted by indulgent mothers has
