Little Accessories of the
Up-to-date ardrobe.

Gray as an accessory color Is expected
to be high style this spring. 1t will hnd
expression in shoes, wells, gloves, neck
wear and trimmings. Gray tones charm
ingly with almost any other color, as does
silver, which will be favored in both cos
tunes and millinery. In footwear the
gray note will appear In the upper OF
calf or waterproof fabric. Shoes of this
persuasion are, however, not practical for
general wear, and as they are found only
In the best makes and are consequently
high In price they will be worn only by
ultra fashionables of the younger set, to
whom money is of little consequence. The
gray and white striped linen collar Is an
other evidence of this gray vogue begin
ming to make itself felt in our new sea
sons modes. With a smartly tailored
white shirtwaist worn with gray tai
I lored coat suit this striped neckwear is
unusually effective.
Like the hips, which, no matter how
placed by nature, must now appear to be
low and inconspicuous, sashes are also
placed far below the waistline, after the
manner of the Algerian way Of wearing
this accessory. The women of Algiers
Irvine their soft silk scarfs about the hips,
allowing the ends to fall In front, in d.
rect contrast to the arrangement of the
Japanese obi, which gives the belted XII
mona a somewhat short-waisted effect.
The veil of the moment is the mask.
which sets closely but not tightly over
the face. To adjust such wells properly
and neatly they should be of a size COM
mensurate to that of the hat with which
they are to be worn. sailor, for in
stance, requires a veil long enough to be
pinned at the back Of it's crown and also
at the base OF the hair line. tricorner
one is sufficiently wide to go over the top
of the crown, where 1t must join neatly
with the ends that are drawn about its
irregular corners, while much of the style
and becomingness of the small turban de-
ponds upon the manner in which the veil
| is adjusted to its edges. The best way
J is 20 knot the corners and then tuck them
below the back brim. The satin striped
| auto silk veil, also worn for street wear
on windy days, is by long odds the most
| effective of the heavier wells that have
! been shown in recent years. Gray, In the
| London smoke shade, which tones admi-
| rably with almost any hat or costume, is
| the choice Of the majority Of women, who
| realize that a complexion with the least
| bit of pink in its toning is enhanced by
| the proximity of gray.
| CoIored blouses of striped and
| checked China and Jap silk and sheer
lawns and batistes are to be the novelties
| in waistdom this year. Those of the cot
| ton fabrics have white linen cuffs and
collar with a half-inch banding of the
wasting stitched nat about half inch
| from the cuff and collar edge and jabot
or rabot worn with the collar is either a
| white lingerie effect or a bow or rosette
Of silk Of the color OF the stripe in the
| waist. All the staple colors combine with
| white in these waists. The collar Is of
the standing turnover variety and the
