LATE FASHION NOTES.

Z and hats all on one color scheme, anC
when nearly every woman is satisfied
= with this fashion there comes an alb
rupt change. It has recently been
announced 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. However
it is not probable that women in gen.
eral will adopt this fashion for many
months, perhaps not until summer.
On the most stylish hats, the under.
brims are of another color, and then
the trimmings are still of other col
ors or shades. The black satin hats
that are so pretty have become so
common that not many will wear
them, at least in the large cities, it is
sure. However, they are jaunty
things, light in weight and can be
trimmed to match or harmonic 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 a certain
dressy afr to costume Even in
these marabout scarves. all colors
can be found, from the delicate shades
to the dark rich tones. The very
prettiest and most striking effects are
obtained by the combination of os-
trich plumes and marabout, the ostrich
feathers being either lighter OF
darker tint than the marabout
1t loks 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 on
them The muffs are immense this
season, and are deliberately trimmed
with lace, which is wired to keep it
in shape A few days ago saw a
beautiful white ermine muff which
was trimmed with lace ends, and
through the lace could be seen a
touch of silver colored chiffon. II was
such dainty affair that it had to be
carried rather car fully.
New wrist bags and evening bags
are seen among the latest goods in
the large stores One evening bag
was made of watered silk, embroider-
ed in spangles and pale shades, lined
with silk and finished with a row of
lace. Palmer ones are made of hand
some materials and trimmed with gold
cord. A bag of velvet was shown
with a dull gold frame and handle. Its
shape was oval and was embroidered
in dull gold spangles and flowers in
gold thread. A pretty wrist bag was
of shiny black leather, having gold
frame set at intervals with red stones.
The choosing of wells is quite as i'm
portant as the choosing of hats. They
are worn by nearly every well-dressed
woman, but we often see a veil that is
decidedly unbecoming to the wearer's
face. If spots are chosen they should
be small and inconspicuous. The
neatest way of wearing fine veil is
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 col |
lar Bright colored wells are the poor
est choice one could make. They not
only spoil the complexion for those
who can see It, but they are really
too conspicuous. Black Is a safe color
for nearly everyone. A new veil which !
is novel and pretty is Of black filet
net, with black chenille pin dots ar
ranged over the mesh in quarter-inch !
squares. The border. which was
about two and a half inches wide, was
a Greekey design outlined In chenille
pin dots
striking long Empire coat was
seen on fashionably dressed woman
the other day. 1t 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 |
revers were Of self.toned velvet, and |
the waistcoat was a dull red and black |
striped velvet The buttons were |
black velvet The novel part Of this
coat was the sleeves. They were
made from shaped bands going around |
the arm and stitched together. The !
hat that was worn with this coat was
a dun green felt. faced with American
beauty velvet and trimmed with heavy |
plumes to match.
