IN NEW YORK'S
 FASHION GLASS

I New York. Nov. 17.-This is decided ly the season for trimmings. Some very elaborate things have been im- ported and there are also that are made here that are equally as handsome, if not as expensive. Fringe Is used ex- | tensively on the bottom of tunics, sashes and for berthas and the edge of wrap sleeves. It is made of cord twisted silk or chenille. Passamente- rie is used In great quantities and gre- | lots, another craze at present, are seen as large as plum and then again they are very small. Coats are trim med with buttons, some very large crochet and fancy buttons or ivory and porcelain, trimmed in gold or silver. Shaded bone buttons are used on tail- ored coats Cloth and taffeta covered buttons to match the suit are fashion able.
 novelty costume was seen of cha mois skin and cloth combined. The skin was in the fashionable khaki tint, as soft as suede and could hardly be distinguished from the cloth. This gown was trimmed with wide silk braid and ornaments to match Waists made to wear with cloth suits are of a very supple raffeta and touches of thjs are seen in the skirt.
 Suits and wraps made of chevronned cloth having the stripes arranged to appear like the bias and cross seams. are most effective in striped materials Striped skirts of silk voile are worn with long black coats, cut away very short in front. Some of the new skirts have no seams in the back or front. only on the sides. and these seams ap- pear to lap and button to the hem of the skirt. Cutaway coats that are new on nd nvrka Eowy kfY.xr just over the bust.
 The long cloth coat is one of the necessary garments which helps to complete the winter wardrobe. When a person can easily afford it, there should be one for every gown it is to be worn over. and it should match in color. A cloak of a smooth finish and of the finest quality needs very little trimming, yet. some of them are elab- orately braided or banded with silk or velvet. The wraps that are seen are long and loose and made of broad cloth. velvet or satin. The Japanese sleeve is either in one piece with the wrap or set into wide armhole One especially elegant wrap was made of dark currant velvet draped capuchon fashion in classic folds almost to the | bottom of the gown. It was trimmed with gold motifs and pendant tassels. 1
 
 The latest autumn shirt waists arc showing a slightly larger blouse in the front. With the popular jumper dress i are worn under waists of heavy white | or ecru lace. They should always be 1, trimmed with some of the dress ma f terlal thus showing that they are worn f only with that costume. All blouses | show great deal of fine handwork fin fancy buttons, braiding, embroidery 1 or bands of silk. The empire style ! cannot he attained on separate waist, but the effect is often brought out in . the belt which is arranged to give a short waisted appearance m the back , and is not long or pointed in front. A 1 favorite fashion now Is to have a touch ! of black velvet in the collar
 The new French hats that are now | being impocted are much smaller than | the earlier ones. The trimmings es- pecially the plumes, are arranged to [ give height rather than breadth. Even- | ing hats are made of silver or gold | flet or point d'esprit. and are bound | with velvet or moire. One very hand | some hat was of silver point d'esprit | bound with gray velvet and trimmed {. with three standing gray plumes. There was a band of chinchilla around the 1 ,rown and in the front a great chou of silver gauge ribbon.
 Red, in it's beautiful shades Is rap dly coming into fashion. This was 'xpected after purple made It's appear .nce. The faded reds are in the front ut the scarlets are seldom used. The rick dust. terra cotta and tomato are he favortes. Purple and red may be ombined with a wonderful effect, but this is attempted by Americans, it not likely to be as successful as 'hen done by the Parisian. It is the afest to trim a suit in any new shade red. with black. and have ecru as a 1Vahir Si--
