HulD ionable costumer, let it be
2)UKS handsome one. Save all your
x money and concentrate upon
one dress that is extravaganza
~ beautiful. Spend as much as posi-
bic and be glad that you have one dress
that will bear the inspection Of Dame
Fashion.
The advice is good, as all women
will tell you. Go out seldom, but when
you 60, let your apparel be fine. Gowns
are luxuriously elegant this season, and
it is almost impossible to make a sat
isfactory appearance unless one has at
least a single gown that will come up
to the standard. A dozen mediocre
ones will not do. There must be one
really elegant costume which is planned
to meet the up-to-date requirements.
1t must be made Of rich materials; it
should be built upon Paris model,
and it's trimming must be fur. These
points are set down as essential to a
handsome gown.
The wife Of the American ambassa-
dor wore a gown at a London recep-
ton which was Immediately copied
throughout the city by the fashionable
colored broadcIoth, and. the general
style was that Of the princess, with
various notifications. There was
very deep pointed yoke of heavy lace
and around the waist was a folded
girdIe of cream silk, fastened with
a magnificent amethyst buckle.
The jacket was in white broadcloth
trimmed with white caracul. with tiny
mimi Of q rpetbxySt 1yalxyat thera
was a white silk hat trimmed with
purple feathers. The gloves were white
wrinklng to the elbow, and all the lit
tie trhes of the costume were violet,
even to the violet brocade wrist bag
which was sIung by violet cords over
the arm. tB.ss 459
Another gown much copied in Lon
don was a uerbroadcloth made with
tucks running around the hips. The
skirt was very long, very clinging and
very pale in it's delicate tint of blue
The style was princess, tight fitting,
with white lace yoke pointed face and
back With the Princess gown there
was worn a little purple brocaded Elton
coat, heavily. padded and beautifully
trimmed with narrow bands of mink.
A mink scarf was laid around the
shoulders and the pretty. wearer car
ried a big flat mink muff, all heads
and tails s&5 8s -
m The wearing of cloth gowns trimmed
with fur has become a fashionable
vogue. ! All sorts of fur are brought
q out and imp essed into the service of
trimming g. the new gowns and the result
ever before at
ra1ned, for never was fur so well used.
Fashionable Fur Scarf,
A certain very we'll dressed woman
made a scarf which has the true
Partisan tone. 1t is built of blue satin
and it's shape is long and broad with
rounded ends. 1t is heavily lined with
white satin and it is braided from one
end to the other with very tiny blue
cord, outlined with gold threads. Bor-
ssdering this beautiful blue satin scarf
is narrow band of chinchilla fur. And
there is a big chinchilla muff to wear
with it. A toque Of the same COM
pletes the lovely set. The chinchilla
is also excellent with gray.
The woman who is buying just one
gown, and that a handsome one, should
pay special attention to the fit of her
costuNe for this is season when one
cannot take many liberties with the set
of gown. Fashion says that the shape
may be either Empire or Princess, but
