THE LATEST FADS
And FASHIONS.
Especial to THE ARGUs.)

New York, Nov. 23-Fashions ar
not meant to stay with us any grea
length of time. Dressmakers and mil
liners create such beautiful gowns and
hats all on one color scheme, and when
nearly every woman is satisfied with
this fashion there comes an abrupt
change. It has recently been an
nounced from Paris, that costumes and
hats are no longer to match in color.
And another thing is, that the large
hat has had its day. Street hats of the
very latest style are very small in
deed. However, it is not probable that
women in general will adopt this fash
ion for many months, perhaps not un-
til Summer. On the most stylish hats,
the underbrims are of another color,
and then the trimmings are still of
other colors Or shades. The black sat-
SO common that not many will wear
them, at least in the large cities, it is
true. They are jaunty things, light in
weight and can be trimmed to match
or harmonic with the gown.
Lovely boas for the neck are worn
more this winter than they have been
for some time. White marabout boas
with muffs to match are worn with
evening costumes. The shaded brown
feather boas made very wide are most
effective. and they give certain dressy
air to costume.
1t looks as though fur coats would
be worn quite commonly this winter.
They are made in all styles and of a
great many kinds of furs. Braiding
and velvet are used as trimmings,
and some coats show touches of lace
season, and are elaborately trimmed
with lace, which is wired to keep it in
shape. A few days ago, I saw a beauti-
full white ermine muff, which was
trimmed with lace ends, and through
the lace could be seen touch of silver
colored chiffon. It was such dainty
affair that it had to be carried rather
carefully.
seen among the latest goods in the
large stores. One evening bag was
made of watered silk, embroidered in
spangles and pale shades, lined with
silk and finished with row of lace.
Palmer ones are made Of handsome
materials and trimmed with gold cord.
A bag of black velvet was shown with
dull gold frame and handle.It shape
was oval and was embroidered in dull
gold spangles and flowers in gold
| thread.
The choosing of wells 10 quite ~ i'm
portant as the choosing OF hats. Thsy
are worn by nearly every well-drssssd
woman, but we often see q veil that IL
decidedly unbecoming to tne wearsr's
face. If spots are chosen they should
be small and inconspicuous. The neat
est way Of wearing fine wells 10 close
to the face, tied to the back Of the hat
with the ends tucked away and pinned
in place, and then caught in with the
barette just above the collar. Bright
colored wells are the poorest choice one
could make. They not only spoil the
complexion for those who can see it,
but they are really too conspicuous.
Black is safe color for nearly every
one.
A striking long Empire coat was
seen on a fashionably dressed woman
the other day. It was made Of Ameri-
can beauty broadcloth and reached
nearly to the hem Of the gown in front,
while the sides were much shorter.
The high Empire belt and rsvsrs were
of self toned velvet, and the wAistooat
| was q dull red and black striped vel
vet. The buttons were black velvet.
The novel part Of this soat vAs the
sleeves. They wsrs made frsa sAsp-
cd bands going around tAs arm and
stitched together. The hat that was
worn with this coat WAS . dull
green felt, faced with American beauty
velvet and trimmed with heavy plumea
to match.
