FADS AND FASHIONS.


Ostrich plulnes are to be uncurled this
season and they are developed in many
different ways. What are called lob
ster" feathers is the very newest effect.
The plume is taken apart and the sepa-
rate Hues are sewed on ribbon. The
immense white coque plume with its
WIDE qullls seems to be a late favorite,
and the paradise feathers share popular
ity with the ostrich plume.
The new collars are ridiculously high.
some of them reaching four inches. Many
OF them are pointed under the ears as the
fashion was eight or ten years ago.
They must fit perfectly, and it takes a
very skilled hand to bone them correctly
Such pretty blue or violet silk coats
are made TO wear over white gowns The
color should be carried out in the para
sol and the great dropping white hat
may be trimmed with orchids which
cover the crown, and the brim lined with
violet velvet. Long gloves of the orchid
tint should be worn with this.
The vest or waistcoat has become an
important part of the tailored costumes.
The new checked pique is u favorite
material for vest, and cretonne is still
in conventional Oriental design in
brown, dull blue or gray, and outlined
with gold thread is a late novelty. An
other style which is equally as pretty is
of black satin embroidered in Japanese
stitches and colors, with much gold
thread intermingled.
A very modish travelling suit worn
the other day. by a pretty blonde was
of dark blue foulard figured with tiny
white squares set diamond wise. The
jacket, having the kimono sleeve, was
banded with plain blue. 1t fastened on
the left side with two large white por
celain buttons. On the left side of the
Killed skirt, reaching from the belt to
trimmed with buttons. She wore a
dainty lingerie blouse. round hat of cadet
blue. with dropping brim, which was en-
circled with blue feathers.
Some of the new French broadcloths
show deep borders of velvet in n shade
deeper than the material. The oriental
patterns are especially pretty and the
floral effects are lovely. Parquisettes
are bordered with velvet of self or con-
trasting colors and are outlined OCCASION
ally with silver and gold threads.
Much attention is being paid to a
rainy day outfit. Coats especially can
be made very attractive when trimmed
with buttons. pipings. collar lapels and
Al
for such an outfit may have shoes, rub
bers and cloth uppers, which protect her
ankles from the rain, umbrella, wrist
bag and gloves, all to match. Her hat
should be of rough brown straw trim
med with quilts, and her collar, a stiff
linen one. with laundry finish, and
heavy brown silk bow tie that will not
wilt in the weather.
Long tight-fitting or semi-ftting coats
reach almost to the shoetops, and are
loaded with self-toned trimmings of SOU
tache, or silk braidng. With these long
coats are worn skirts TO match. cut on
the circular model, and trimmed only
with braid and inlaid bands. These cir
cular skirts will be favorites this winter.
A neck ruihe that has lately been
shown is of lllaitings of cream chiffon
and silk lace laid overlapping the other.
4 lattice of brown velvet ribbon is next
10 the face and shows the plaitings I'M
made in loops and ends finishes this
ruche.
Princess and empire effects are still
worn with much popularity. There is a
charm about an empire dress if it is made
correctly. and the only noticeable effect
is in the back, where the waist line is
slightly raised. Except for street wear
skirts are touching and trailing. In
these two styles of dress nothing could
be more graceful than a long trailing
skirt with the waist line having the up
ward curve.
The severe and simple tailor suit is still
correct for ever day" wear. The ia
vosite model is the thirty-inch coat. and
the instep-length plated skirt. Careful
tailoring and choice of material is more
important for their smaFtness than trim
ming Some of these suits have the
edges bound with braid.
The japanese sleeve has been such a !
favorite that it is quite likely 20 remain !
