lined or. rather faced with fur or to
have double fur collar attached to the
coat than to wear a separate stole or
boa, which is sure to be continually
slipping off and so be a constant form
of annoyance A brilliant red cheviot
trimmed with mink or brown nlarten
worn with hat of the same kind of
fur does not make such an expensive
costume, and nothing could be more
effective.
For a jumper girdIe without the
streamers four yards of pompauour rib
bon and three and half yards of vel
vet ribbon are required. The girdle-a
wide one-is more effective if made in
folds or plaits, though a plain one, if
desired, will be entirely in keeping. The
ribbon that forms the shoulder straps
is left its full width over the shoulders,
being plated closely where it joins the
girdle. From the bust line to the waist
the shoulder straps are held in place
by narrow horizontal strips of black
velvet ribbon fastened with tiny gold
buttons.
The correct attire for having ones
photograph taken this season is an
evening gown cut decollete. Clad in a
light colored frock of the newest filmy
material with trimming of sheer lace or
hand embroidery any woman may feel
that so far as dress goes her picture
will be correct. The wearing of big pic
ture hats with plumes ribbons and vel
vets, becomingly arranged, which was
such a fad a year or SO ago, is still in
vogue. 1t depends entirely upon the
person posing, and though the majority
of photographs will be taken without
these hats, the latter are an adjunct of
picture taking that will probably al
ways be considered good form.
The use of furs, provided they are
handsome ones, will again be fashion
able. for boa even a collarette plac-
ed carelessly around the neck lends a
touch of elegance that is greatly favor
ed by the average woman. A fur cape
or even a long coat thrown open in
front to show the evening costume will
be permissible, though doubtless little
worn for photographs.

Mushroom shaped hats are among
the most popular of the season, and a
bewildering variety of them was seen
at matinee this week. One girl GER
| tainly went the whole hog when she
wore a hat of the mushroom shape COW
cred with the paIest tan velvet, put on
perfectly plain. That is, there was no
! trimming on the top, but the brim was
filed in underneath with accordion
plated pink chiffon, and the hat was an
almost perfect imitation Of a fresh
mushroom. AS the young woman S
dress was a simple one of the same pale
shade of tan it easily might have been
the stem of the mushroom, thus carry
ing out the idea. One man said it made
him feel as if it were sta GUNNER and
he had come across a freS mushroom
on his golf course, where he SO often
| found them.
Of all the changes in dress that have
taken place during the last few years
there is none perhaps so marked as the
new idea of what's fashionable and cor
rect for mourning. No longer must one
! be heavily draped in Grape for any
! length of time, even for the nearest OF
| kim but the period of first mourning
while much shortened, is nevertheless
very marked. Grape is worn, it might
be said, on the least excuse, but mus
! be worn for only a short while, the pc
riod of course being regulated by the
closeness of the demised relative. Black
and white is now so smart for general
wear that it is rather out of favor save
