FOR THE LADIES.
Fads and Fashions.


;ops of the long gloves in place is a
1exible bracelet in the shape of a ser
pent, which enciroles the arm several
times. The head is set with jewels
A pleasing hat Is of the Sir Joshua
Reynolds style. 1t s trimmed with two
ong ostrich plumes which are posed over
The crown and are fastened on the left
,ide at the back.
The new leather bags that are now be-
ng carried are decidedly fat in appear
lnce and are novel in shape. The wrist
bags have very slender handles, usually
,ne narrow strap of the leather, just
arge enough to slip over the arm.
Thin frocks are made of such dainty
materials. One especially pretty thing
vas Of purple silk muslin embroidered IN
gold and mauve. This was made in the
oinafore fashion and with it was worn
aat covered with purple and red clovers.
The veIy latest to be worn with the
ACE gowns are muff and scarf sets made
entirely of real lace. One has been seen
IF elaborate Spanish laces and five diff
ferent laces besides. There were delicate
touches of color in the form of embroid-
cry added as pretty finish.
Chinchilla bids fair to be popular
through the coming season, but the price
s too high for il to be common. 1t is
liked because of the monotone effect and
with violet velvet and heavily embroid-
cred in shades Of violet, the effect is
:harming-
Tunics have grown very popular ever
3ince the fashion was announced. Some
are deep in the back and front, and
.thers are made just the opposite. There
have been seen tunics of dotted or
striped goods, which are worn over
plain skirt. Many of them are weighted
1t the hem by heavy silk fringe, which
a noticeable feature in trimming.
Colored and checked velvet is being
much used for pipings on the tailored
pess Of veteea En the of RDPoae Rpores brop
10th Trimmings of soutache, stitched
bands and embroideries are placed in
he middle of the skirt length, instead of
around the bottom. The deep weighted
lem now takes the place of the other
trimming.
Separate waists of embroidered net and
all-Over lace are more attractive than
ever before. Some of the blouses are
loose fitting, but the lining is fitted and
boned carefully so the effect is unusually
pretty. Tucks, ruches and satin applica-
tions are the favorite trimmings. The
sleeves are of the puff style, the stock
collars are high and the girdles are mar
row and skillfully draped.
Evening dress materials in combina-
lion with velvet is much evidenced in all
the late fashions. The effect is smart
when the plain chiffons or chiffon cloths
are made up with chiffon velvet in bands
and panels. Black chiffon with raised
velvet flowers in self tones is especially
effective. A really beautiful dress for
evening is of black Brussels lace net
braided with satin soutache.
The separate wrap has become the
craze OF the American women. Some
ire made Of the material like the bodice
and skirt, so making a three-piece cos
tuna. but many are Of contrasting col
srs and materials, made in long flowing
ines. They are all elaborately trimmed
with soutache, tassels, ornaments, and
much silk and bead fringe. A new idea,
which is very pretty, is to trim the in
side Of the wrap.
Some of the more dressy jackets are
made of transparent material which is
braided and the whole is made up over a
taffeta lIIing of a lighter tint than the
garment or a contrasting color. There
made of cloth or taffeta in bright currant
ed, bronze green, mahogany and bishops
purple. However, the most of the coats
are made of the same material as the
skirt for the tailor-made suits seem to be
the fashion of the year.
Hats are seen in every imaginable
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 particular ia
vorite, and it is used for dressy hats as
well as for everyday wear. The cavalier
shapes are revived for those who do not
care for the new styles. 1t is cut down
for street wear and is trimmed with
wired taffeta loops, usually in front and
q 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, nov
city braids and embroidered bands that
are used. The newest neck piece has
two heads in the back and the tails fin
ish the stole in the front Mink and
black lynx will be the most popular furs
but squirrel, and martin will continue
to be worn by many. Silver gray anC
white fox are very modish. Ermine will
be worn with evening garments, only
1t is very evident that Russian sable
will be the most desirable fur for all who
can reach the price.-Florence Fair
