The home woman will never suffer for lack of business training as long as she takes an interest in her wardrobe. How to make the best appearance on her in- come requires strategies of fnanciering that would put to shame your money barons; for all too few are the women with dress allowance sufficient for their needs, or supposed needs.
 To be well dressed women are learning means to work out the wardrobe each season along a carefully laid out plan Decide first on the absolutely necessary suits, hats and accessories. Then make separate list of those things greatly to be desired,'' as the fortune tellers have it.
 third sheet should contain a list of "stock on hand.'' From these three lists and with a previously acquired knowl- edge of the colors, fabrics. and fashion outlines of the season, work out deh- nite plan in costumes and colors.
 The first essential in the well selected wardrobe is, and this is practically a universal rule,-the tailored walking suit The selection this winter is easy because the tailored suit styles are extremely simple, and the fabrics eminently satis- factory and the colors delightfully."- be- coming. There is really little variety in the tailored suits-one may have the coat anywhere from thirty to fifty inches in length, and skirt plaited or circular, with or without bands. The sleeves are invariably full length. The coats may be double or single breasted, and with or without a centre back seam. They 7 are easy fitting, but loose enough to be first cousin to the box coat-the tight fitted style is not in the running this year
 The materials for these suits are plain or fancy striped or checked broadcloth, the attractive new skibo serge showing black check and stripe in black on me lange ground, and the heavy wide vale serges and fancy cheviots. Then there are fine worsteds in invisible checks and stripes and some stunning corkscrew stripes which are distinctly new. Any of these will prove absolutely satisfac- tory from point of wear and style all the season through.

These are all extremely durable materi- als and lend themselves admirably to present modes The tones of violet and gray are charming in these fabrics.
 In costumes for afternoon and evening wear, most women find that they can fur Dish up some last years toilette in addi- ton to what they feel that they may af- ford in new things. Last years costume is very readily brought up to date this season by encouragement of trimming ma terials, and the alteration of the sleeves. Broad bands attached to the shoulders and forming sling sleeves In Japanese eff feet will modernize Q gown so none but the owner would date 1t "06." The long mosquetaire cuffs, of lace, or net are being added to last years gowns to bring them in keeping with the present fashion for the long transparent sleeves.
 While the suit hat should be selected with direct reference to the tailored suit with which 1t Is to be worn, dressy hat may be chosen more freely. It is enough that it should harmonize with the tone of the dress Black hats will be largely used this winter, but they will al- most invariably have color in the trim mings. Huge roses surround the crown
 
 of many hats: others have wreaths of morning glories. The much befeathered hats are the height of the fashion, and for most women, the height of extrava- gance, since these quaint and often weird effects run into money faster than any fad for millinery for years
 The well dressed woman must pay closest attention to her gloves and boots. This does not mean that either the latter or the former must be custom made. for the ready to-wear boots are so well shaped that even the most fastidious woman need look no further for her footwear. Lace boots for heavy street service and button boots for dress is the general rule. al though many women prefer button boots for all occasions. Dull feathers. patent leather foxing with dull leather or cloth calf tops, are of the smart styles for the street. We will see no more of the low shoes on the street this winter. fact which all sensible people will rejoice in. The pump will, with its accompanying silk stockings, be worn in its proper place, the house. Dressy boots of patent leather with cloth tops or dull leather tops, and for more dressy service white kid boots, and slippers in suede that match the gown in tone are for the woman who has ample means to carry out her fash ion fancies.

White Still Leads for Children Sheer Ba- tistes With Valenciennes Trimmings
 The Plain Velvet Frock- Shoulder
 and Sleeve Knots Best Bonnets.

Winter days bring their round of fes- tivities to the little folks, even as to their elders. There is the weekly dane Ing class, as much A part of the youth ful curriculum today as vaccination or the semiannual trip to the dentists. Then there are Thanksgiving and Christ mas parties, and for the small New Yorker, children's day at the Horse Show, and occasional matinees, all or which call for special dressing.
 White remains the color par excellence for the small girls dressy frocks. and indeed, many mothers choose nothing but white for the daughters wardrobe until she reaches the age of twelve. These, however are of the class to whom laundry and cleaners bills have no terror More modest incomes leave white to the "best frocks," and select sensible browns and blues for everyday service.
 Fine and Sheer the Rule.
 The party frock should be sheer and dainty It may be simple or elaborate,- for it Is here alone that elaborateness is countenanced In childrens frocks-but it must be fine and soft. There are won derful frocks of eyelet embroidery on sheer handkerchief linen, the cost of which runs into three figures. These are of course imported. and to be had in those exclusive little French shops that cater only to the needs of the small mil- lionairess Simpler but none the less beautiful are the frocks of finest batiste, inset with fine Valenciennes This latter is the type of the general run of party frocks.
 Short walsted effects are popular with the small folks as well as with their elders. Very often the waist Is defined only in the back and sides, the front ex- tending from neck to hem in soft straight folds. Straight bands of the material edged with lace trim the skirts, these bands being little newer than the lace edged rufies, although the latter is still used. Sometimes the skirt has two or three broad tucks and an equally deep hem, these frilled with lace. Lace edged rufiies often form the sleeves, and there may be yoke of lace and batiste strips or outings.
 Ribbons in ProfusfOn.
 most essential part of the sheer party frock is the ribbons This season sashes are shorter than heretofore, and are tied with two outstanding loops that about cover the little back. There are braided bands of ribbons ending in TO- settes that belt in the back and sides of little empire frocks, these being new this season. Rosettes of narrow ribbon, rolled and twisted, are used for breast and shoulder knots and sleeve finishes These are to be had all ready made up at most ribbon counters, or the ribbon clerks will usually make them up free of charge, in the desired shade of ribbon. Of course there are only three colors for the ribbons of the little miss-white, pink and blue.

a hat of the same bright coloring Is worn. Very often there is a bit of this color on waist worn with the suit.
 One well-dressed woman claims she always buys her hats first and selects her suits to match them. but this would be very poor wisdom for a woman of limited income. Select the suit first and choose the hat afterwards. Never loose sight of the fact that the hat Is the high light of the picture. An unsuccessful or unbecoming hat will counteract the effect of the most charming suit
 Next in importance to the strictly tailored suit is the dressy tailored cos- tune. This consists of coat and skirt of one fabric, in the former case usually accompanied by a matching bodice of a lighter weight fabric.
 The best investment for a dressy suit costume Is fine broadcloth or velvet in one of the rich dark tones of the season. The black-purples, the dead-grays and the new greens are especially liked for ! this purpose. The trimmings run into elaborate braidings and heavy laces outlined with cords. The waist in match ing tone may be of double chiffon, which is a very heavy weight chiffon, mar quisette, or heavy flet net. The trim ming used in the costume appears on the bodice, and frequently the heavier fabric of the costume forms a portion of the bodice.
 The separate coat is distinctive fea- ture of the fashions this season, and it is convenient and economic one for most women. Unless one is very gener- ously provided in the matter of dress allowance, separate coat must be se- lected most judiciously. For the women who can afford it, a fur coat Is ideal, but with a fur coat one still needs cloth separate coat, as the fur coat is usually dressy. The long coats of heavy serge or cheyiot suitable for travelling and general oyer-coat wear, are extreme ly satisfactory, while for combination of dressy and practical service. there are plain black broadcloth in march ioness or belmore styles, the former loose. and the latter semi-ftting, that are suitable for street service, as well as for wear over dressy evening toilettes where the street car is the mode of con veyance.
 There are many beautiful and com paratively inexpensive fabrics for dressy costumes, such as crepes de chine, landsdowne, silk poplins and the like.

Bonnet Shapes Ruched With Chif-
 ion and Ribbon.

Ton ana h1DDOn.
 For dressy wear the bonnets Fare most elaborate flats of felt or scratch beaver sashed and bent into quaint shapes, or fascinating bonnet frames covered smooth- ly with velvet The underbrim facing Is n feature of all these dressy hats. There is a low bandeau made very full and fluffy with ruchlngs of maiDette or chif- fon, this facing extending well out on the underbrim. Into this fluffy frilling Is set wreaths of tiny button roses or rosettes of narrowest ribbons in delicate shades. Ribbons, flowers and ostrich feathers trim the outer portion of the bonnet. Fancy feathers are not considered proper for small folks, and it is to be hoped that this rule will continue for most of the plum age of this season Is quite too unnatural to be counted good taste for children.
 Velvet and Ermine Protectors
 From the Cold.
 Simple velvet coats in dark tones are favorltes for dress wear with the little folks. The shades most noted this sea son are the new tones of blue. ranging from Copenhagen to army. the deep hunter greens. certain wines, and, of course, black. Occasionally one sees a coat of dark gun metal or London smoke shades that are so popular with grownups, but In this case the furs ana bonnet are invariably selected with view to matching or affording a pleasing contrast. The coat illustrated Is or Copenhagen blue velveteen, trimmed with a loosely woven silk braid. There is huff and cap of ermine, the cap having a flat rosette of white satin rib bon at one side. The hair ribbon which shows beneath the cap Is of Copenhagen blue, the same shade as the coat

Fur Fabric Coats.

Mohair is one of the most satis- factory materials for children's school frocksat all seasons of the year. Nowadays when houses and schoolrooms are so per fectly heated there is no necessity of add ing much to the weight of the dress fa- brio In winter time. heavier underwear being sufficient to equalise things. For this reason medium weight fabrics. like mohair, are superceding heavier stuns for winter wear. Mohairs have the qual- ity of almost everlasting life and good looks. They do not rub shiny or spot

Qaite the latest novelty Is the Teddy Bear coat. This is made of brown plush in the shade seen in the toy bears. The coat part is plain and straight and there is a hood piece attached which IS slipped over the head. fitting very tight about the face, so that never a stray lock of hair may slip out. The hood is caught back in such a way that there are two little upetanding ears for trim ming. Really, one will find 1t hard to distinguish the toy bear and Its owner yery soon.

 The Teddy Bears Game, Too.
 Teddy Bear accompanies his small master or mistress to many of the child ish festivities ut this season. and his proper appareling Is matter of some moment to-day. He has his warm coat of plush and his natty cap. and his sweaters and little Russian blouse suits, quite the same as live folks The little girl who Is here pictured bringing Master Ted dy to Bear Party" is clad in a coat of one of the fashionable fur cloths, rough honeycomb pattern in white. The coat is loose box shape, the back held In with broad belt, and the fronts ornamented with two handsome white silk frogs and cords. The tricorne hat is of squirrel. trimmed with the white cords. Teddy's coat and cap are of white fur also.
 "And Some in Velvet Gown"
 This frock IS of black lyons velvet with vest and collar and reyers of pale blue moire overlaid with rich crochet with touches of embroidery in black and blue. The skirt portion is laid in alternating box and side pleats, the long waist pleated back and front, and showing full vest of silk. There is broad sailor collar and small revers also of the silk, with trim mings of Irish crochet. Motifs of \the Irish crochet are disposed on the bottom of each box pleat, and several rows of stitch ing finish the bottom.

shoe men say that the small boy himself seems to prefer the dull feathers. Pos sibly 1t is because his first efforts at dancing. invariably make him conscious of his feet to painful degree. and he realizes that patent feathers will but in crease their notability. Whatever the reason. the small boy, when left to his own choice, invariably takes the dull kid pump.

 For the little tots there are white rubbers to wear with the white shoes that are a part and parcel. of all juvenile dressy toilettes. There are also Abrown rubbers which match in tone the golden brown shade so popular in leather. It would seem that one must have an as sortment of rubbers nowadays, as well as other matching accessories to the toilette.

 The little folks often set the fashions for their elders-as witness this matter of high boots. First we found the chidrens boots growing higher, two and three and even four buttons being added. Now we see the elders following 1t, and the high boot, several buttons higher than we had been accustomed to

There are gay little plaid merinO stockings in the proper clan colorings, presumably intended for Scotch lads and lassies or descendants of the land of Burns, but perfectly acceptable to most young folks of any nationality. These are extremely pretty when worn with plain frocks with perhaps tie of silk of the same clan plaid.
 Dancing pumps for boys are shown in dull kid as well as in patent feathers, and for some unaccountable reason. the
