most perilous. About the only woman
who can trifie with purple is the raven

a shade beloved of la mode, is another
nuance that has to be handled with ex-

variety. Another stunning hat seen at
the show was of brown silk felt. with
magnificent plume of shaded yellow going
across the crown in Knight Tempiar

Madam Butterfly Styles.
A very pretty and youthful suit that is
having a special run at all the depart
ments where ready-to-wear garments are
shown is known as the Madam Butterfly.

with coat that suggests directoire lines,
and smart fluffy rufties type of skirt
completes an ensemble that is trig. neat
and likely to be becoming to the average
young woman. AS a. result the suit Is
already too popular to appeal to women

Liberty Scarfs for Blouses.
Many women in search of something
a little out of the ordinary are buying
| the lovely liberty and chiffon scarfs. which
come with a border on the entire four
sides, and are having them fashioned
| into separate blouses. Some of these
scarfs show masses of delicate colored
flowers those of Chinese origin being par

The well-dressed girl rejoces in her
shoes. which this winter are exceedingly
pretty and immensely becoming to the
foot and to the gown. for they are an
excellent match if modish. They are
made upon new lasts, and the foot never
appeared smaller nor to better advantage.
The fashionable shoe. in the fall. is a
brown or a tan, but there are other col

among these can be mentioned gray suede
| and n very pretty shade of green. Gray
| is specially smart and will be worn all
winter with the fashionable gray suits
and with the pretty gray furs and wide
gray hats with spreading feathers.
For Stout Figures.
When the figure is unduly stout black
should always be worn below the bust.
and even this requires care in choosing.
Brunettes Of this type must select goods
with a dull surface, such as voile and
serge. Black satin is fatal to them,

the large blends, although they may wear
