NEW STYLES FOR STREET.
BY MAY DAWSON.

London, Feb. 16.-There is no
doubt ABOUT II that today fashion
walks" what l mean to say is there
is as much fashion and smartness re-
quired In the walking COSTUME as
there Is in anything else. Although
the weather has been particularly
odious of late, nevertheless there have
still been a few smart women who
have been courageous enough to walk
in the morning and to wear really
smart trotteuse OF blue serge OF black
cloth, with a jsunty little braided
coat, OF, on colder days. a fur DOlerO
As a matter of fact, il is very hard
TO beat the really smart, braided,
tajlOr-built blue serge coat and skirt.
To be smart, however. il has TO boast
an simple quantum of braid, and per-
haps a little embroidery as well. A
delightful little braided coat suggest
i've Of a shopping frOck is worn with a
plain cloth skirt and a sable tie and
nun.
Perhaps some OF the most lovely
costumes are in gray cloth with 4
raised, hairy stripe in gray, trimmed
with band Of gray astrachdn. and
worn with short coatee and toqGe
of the same fur, the latter, perhaps
adorned with some queer bird. With
the trotteuse skirt and short bolero
the smart type of heaogear is essen
tial. just as the picturesque hat seems
TO lend itself better to long, hoWlnS
reception gowns. There is very little
else worn beyond the hat of minute
size and that of large proportions.
For skating at least small hats pre-
dominate, and with the trotteuse skirt
the natural order of smart dressing
will be the very short Jacket Of
heavily braided cloth, or frur Knife
pleating TO below the hip line is
rather a fayorite mode for the short
skirt, which is umbrella shape, and
full at the feet
What enthusiasm there is for every
thing of the Princess and Empire
styles. A beautiful afternoon frock is
of heavy white, hairy cloth, with
bolero of ermine, with a vest and cuffs
of white and gold embroidery, and
turnover collar of white velvet. The
costume is completed by a charming
eighteenth century white cloth hat,
bound with black velvet and adorned
with beautiful white and black shaded
ostrich plumes, and with this is worn
one of the new ermine stoles. Err
mine It is needless to say, is lovely
fur, and it is daily gaining favor as
trimming. especially for the evening;
for this and for other purposes the
craze is TO trim everything with a fur
edging Of some kind.
A picture frock of white accordion
pIeated chiffon in Empire style, is
trimmed with bands and braces Of
ermine: il has further n band of black

at the back with an old-world buckle,
giving on Empire effect. The little
friIled sleeves and chemisette are of
white Brussels net.

coiffures are rather simple and charm

That the osprey or sweeping Para

millinery and evening head-dresses, is
an indisputable fact, and 1t is likely to
continue popular.
