ed by fringe-for, by the way.
fringes of every kind are a feature
which many dressmakers will try to
revive. There is some sense in the
fringe, and tunic, polonaise, and prin-
cess effects are infinitely improved
when weighted with heavy silk or
chenille fringes.
Though there is no very startling
change to chronicle in the general
fashioning of furs this season, there
are any number of distinctive details
which will proclaim the wearer of the
really up-to-date coat or wrap. The
kimono continues to exercise on furs
the all-powerful influence which it first
displayed on cloths and satins. and it
certainly makes for grace of outline,
as well as comfort, and as carriage
or theater wrap finds practically no
rival. Its wide sleeves also figure ON
the sacque coates which are to be
very much worn, though, once again.
fashion has been most thoughtful OF
her followers varying figures and re-
quirements, and so includes in her list
for the season a smartly simple and
short basqued coat. which fits closely
at the back and has straight, double
breasted fronts and long sleeves.
And now a word about the dresses
displayed in our illustrations. The
tailor-made shown in our larger pic
ture is made of reseda green cloth.
and is trimmed with braid in a darker
shade. tiny brass buttons being used
most effectively as a final trimming.
The blouse is of coarse white lace,
while the hat is of white crinoline
with dark green and white striped
ribbon.
The modified Empire style will still
be very much in evidence in evening
gowns, and l have seen some charm
ingly pretty bodices with just that
rounded fullness of effect which is so
much desired by the fair wearer. One
new model, in white Oriental satin, is
gathered below a little chemisette of
chiffon and has all its soft folds en-
circled by crossed bands of paSest
green satin, set with clusters and
trails of wee pink chiffon roses and
green silken leaves, border of the
embroidered flowers being the only
trimming for the plain, gracefully
hanging skirt. The design shown Is
simple and yet beautiful. The waist
band can be either in souple satin or
silver and pink tissue. the ends crossed
in front and fastening with tiny dow
| er-like rosettes. This waistband can
be lowered to the waist-line in front
IL one chooses and still keep the up
ward Empire line at the back.
The hat pictured for you this week
is strikingly smart. and is of fine
| quality of felt with mushroom brim
raised on bandeau, and its attrac-
tiveness is enhanced by the fact that
| the crown is very becoming large
shape trimmed with full bows OF silk

| The coat and skirt costume dis
played In our single column illustra-
tion shows an effective style for those
who cannot wear those very fashion
able long coats because of lack of
stature. Fashion is delightfully."- ac-
commodating this season. and every

discretion is used The striped mate-
rial will also tend to give you the e.
