that Is within reach only Of the elect
financially seQuin tiaraS have been
brought out this season that are fasci-
mating and at little distance closely
resemble the sparkling diamond orna-
ment beloved of the fashionable ma
tron.
The Serviceable Suit.
Browns, green's and blues play
modest but important part in the array
Of Scotch serges and other novelty wool
mixtures offered for the runa bout suit
of the woman who trots out in all kinds
Of weather. Plaids. checks and stripes
are seen in many combinations of col
ors and shades. Undeniably the trend
of this season is toward dark -colored
trotteur costumes, and for that reason
all the primary colors are so dark in
tone that when intermingled it is a bit
difficult to discern where one E<ginS and
the other crosses it. Even In the one
tone dark walking suits there are in
Visible checks and stripes, but relieved
in most instances by a thread Of high
coloring, like the fashionable high blue,
cerse and orchid shades seen in the vel
vet rolls set against the inner side of
the coat collar.
For the Rotund.
Select coat Semi-fitted in the back
with-a loose front which should be about
haif-coat length. The garment, instead
of making one look larger. has a ten
dency to hide the figure which may be
too rounded for beauty. A very stout
woman can easily wear a jacket suit of
this style. Avoid plaids. selecting some
thing instead in a black, dark gray,
either plain herringbone cloth, or
choose something in a very dark brown.
Blue can be worn. though gray is more
becoming. While the suit and hat should
be of like color and without any glaring
colors, yet this does not mean that 3
touch Of color must be eliminated from
nea' tie. But observe. if you will.
and va VIII see that the best dressed
large women are those who simply
and tastefully gowned. For the elderly
woman the steal gray tones, trimmed with
very dark green, are very becoming, es-
pecially when one has very white hair
and a rather youthful looking face.
Vogue Of Ermine.
E.rmine. which seems almost as peren-
niaIly fashionable sable or diamonds,
will be adopted by every woman who can
afford such an extravaganza as that of
white fur, which deteriorates rapidly in
beauty.
Naturally enough. the real ernine wrap
is tahooed FOR the greater number Of
women, but nevertheless there are conso-
latlOns for small purses in the shape Of
the single skin, which IS hardly wide
as a collar band and Wh.c with head
and tail complete. forms clos fitting
craVate. Where the new pelerines and
short fur coats are concerned a cOnCeS-
sion of economy can be mace by carry
ing ont these garments in alternate bands
of Chinese embroidery Cr coarse lace
with strips of erm.ne. less than half
the quantity of fur required for an ordi-
nary vehement of this description being
used.
White fur is. however the special
prerogative Of youth, and unless the
wearer possesses a fair complexion 1t
imparts yellGWish tint to the skin.
Braid on Tailor-Mades
There is no doubt whatever about It,
braid intends to make dec .ded stand
with ta!Ior-madas 8. 1t is to bc observed
not only with rough and ready suits of
serge and tweed but also in the more
ornamental! realms supplied by fine soupla
cloth. and there is every prob bility that
it viii find favor with furr ers, who are
just a little W ary of oriental embroid-
-ries and brOcades relieving notes to
