Special to THE ARGUS.


grown very popular ever since the
fashion was announced. Some are
deep in the back and front, and others
are made just the opposite. There have
been seen tunics of dotted or stripped
goods which are worn over plain
skirt. Many of them are weighted at
the hem by heavy silk fringe, which is
a noticeable feature in trimming.
The separate wrap has become the
craze of the American women. Some
are made of the material like the
bodice and skirt, SO making a three
piece costume, but many are of con-
tresting colors and materials made in
long flowing lines. They are all Ella
borately trimmed with soutache, tas-
sells, ornaments, and much silk and
bead fringe. A new idea, which is
very pretty, is to trim the inside of tn Q
wrap.
Hats are seen in every imagina BILE
shape and size, but there are two that
seem to be the stand bys; the modified
mushroom and the cavalier shapes.
The mushroom or cloche, is particu-
lar favorite, and it is used for dressy
hats as well as for every day wear. The
cavalier shapes are rsvived for those
who do not care for the new styles. 1t
is cut down for street wear and is
trimmed with wired taffeta loops, usu-
ally in front and folded band around
the crown.
The most noticeable feature about
all fur pieces, is they are trimmed with
the heads and tails of the animal There
are also many pendant ornaments.
novelty braids and EN- mbroidered bands
that are used. The newest neck piece
has two heads in the back and the
tails finish the stole in the front. Mink
and black lynx will be the most pop
ular fars, but squirrel and martin will
continue to be worn by many. Silver
gray and white fox are very modish.
II is very evident that Russian sable
will be the most desireable fur for all
who can reach the price.
Chinchilla bids fair to be popular
through the coming season, but the
1t is liked because of the monotone eff
feet and pronounced vogue of graysl.
When used with violet velvet and
heavily embroidered in shades of vio-
let, the effect is charming.
Thin frocks are made of such dainty
materials. One especially pretty thing
was of purple silk muslin embroidered
in gold and mauve. This was made in
the pinafore fashion and with it was
worn a hat covered with purple and
red clovers.
Some of the more dressy jackets are
made of a transparent material which
is braided and the whole is made up
over a taffeta lining of a lighter tint
than the garment or a contrasting color.
There are few jaunty separate coats
that are made of cloth or taffeta in
bright current red, bronze green,
mahogany and bishops purple. How
ever, the most of the coats are made of
the same material as the skirt for the
tailor made suits seem to be the fash
ion of the year.
The very latest to be worn with the
lace gowns are muff and scarf sets
made entirely of real lace. One has
been seen or elaborate Spanish laces
and five different laces besides. There
were delicate touches of color in the
form of embroidery added as a pretty
finish.
little novelty in jewelry to keep
the tops of the long gloves in place is
a flexible bracelet In the shape of q
serpent, which encircles the arm sew
