the waist of tan lace and the waist that is
Of ivory coloreG net trimmed with yellow
lace with tiny bits of needlework set into
the lace. These lace waists are more in
teresting than the all white lace waists. and
they are suitable for wear on many dressy
occasions. They can be made to match the
gown by the Introduction of bits OF colored
embroidery.
The fashion for harmonizing the colors of
a gown Is more in favor than ever before.
Everything must match from the crown OF
the hat to the tips OF the shoes and the
greatest effort is constantly made to make
the costume uniform. All materials are i'm
pressed into service in getting up the color
scheme. but the prevalent tone must be the
same.
Upon the handmade lingerie embroidered
eyelets worked In the material frequently
take the place of the applied beading. and
favorite effect is obtained by setting these
eyelets at each side of groups OF tiny hand
tucks, so that the ribbon will pass under the
tucks and over the narrow plain spaces be-
tween the groups of tucks. At the head OF
petticoats and drawer fiounces however
even upon the French models, embroidery
beading is generally used for frmness sake,
and for waistband purposes, too, the en-
broidery beading is satisfactorily suhstan-
tial. the embroidered eyelets being prone to
tear out II subjected to much strain.
One-piece garments such night gowns
ard Ghemises are sometimes held in loosely
at the waist by band of beading through
which ribbon is run. but this, of course,
breaks the continuous line of the garment,
and French designers like to use the tucks
and eyclets in place Of beading.
The New Jackets.
At least six varieties of fall coats stand
we'll in the foreground. The becoming and
natty three-quarter coat and Its near reia-
tive. the Prince Chap, are very interesting.
They are becoming to nearly all persons,
and they have the merit of being always
suitable. They are rather English In ap-
pearance. and those women who like to
wear an English tailor made can select the
Prince Chap as being very desirable, even
If not the newest thing in the world.
There beautiful coats in the Elton
variety, for the Eton Is still one Of the most
popular of coats. The heavy little winter
bolero will be much worn, and the little
padded Elton, to be worn with a deep Cir
die. hangs in the wardrobe of every woman
who dresses well.
1t Is perfectly impossible to lay down one
style Of coat for all the wear. for the
fashions in winter coats are so varied
There come pretty coats in the hip length,
slightly fitted to the figure and rather longer
than the pony. And the pony coat itself is
still favorite and rather growing in popu-
larity. For general utility the Prince
George is much liked, and one of the new
models shows a Prince George made of
navy blue serge, double breasted and but
toned down with big fiat black horn but
tons. 1t is hip length and immensely smart
Again does the peacock proudly spread
out It's train over the feminine hat. These
spiral feathers are dyed in every imagin-
able tint. and, as they the least imper
ishable of the feathered effects, long may
fashion allow them to wave.
The pigeon also travels to the d5rar-s and
emerges therefreHT in ffanciful colors such
as 10 self-respecting bird of that species
would ever wear In life. but, combined with
some OF the newest shades in hats, the
plumage Is certainly most fetching, as In
the case of a tobacco brown braid hat trim
med with pastel green wings. Violently
contrasting hues appear on one and the
same wing, as In those showing alternate
rows of dark blue and white feathers In
tended for hats of the same color scheme,
and In contradistinction to these are seen
the somber coque plumes which have
certain softness and fexibiity peculiar to
themselves.
Stiff Collars and Laces.
