Picturesque, elegant, becoming, ap-

new winter wrap Is a thing of beauty,

latter, after all, depends much upon
your own cleverness, for that untail-
ored, draped effect, which the expert
enced home dressmaker knows is the
easiest to obtain in cloak making, is
perhaps the seasons chief character
istic.
Materials, too, may depend upon the
size OF your pocketbook; there are
many silky broaodcloths with sub
stantial interlining to furnish the re-
CURED degree of warmth, for it must
be confessed that of this the present
style of outer covering furnishes but a
small portion.
Liberty satips and panne velvets are
the materials most in vogue, lending
their wonderful draping qualities to
those interesting models in which,
everybody is saying, the greatest coU-
turiers Of Paris have made their most
marked successes. Not satisfied with
the wealth of beauty in the material,

To crown all, the wrap matches, or

sometimes be just right by deciding
first on her very best evening gown

Very few white wraps are worn,
though a recent model of creamy vel

Elaborate coiffures Sometimes Make
Additions Necessary.

In these days when q woman does
her hair she is likely to pin into 1t
some tresses that did not originally
grow there, for the use of too hot
irons in waving has most likely made
havoc with her own hair, besides
which the elaborate hairdressing now
in use requires more hair than the
average head possesses.
An attractive couture is made by
breaking the pompadour into part,
pinning here bunch of curls to hang
over the forehead; then in back ar

HANDKERCHIEF KIMoNO.

Four handkercnfefs are all that are
required for this dainty garment.
Blue makes the prettiest. Here is

how to put together. There Is one

which is turned down, and forms the
