American sister for more frivolous pur-
poses. She will adopt the heavy black
lace scarf as a embarrassing accom-
paniment with her street and demi-toi-
lettes, and doubtless find it of infinite
service next summer for evening drives.
Soudanese scarfs are far and away the
most fascinating of any offered to tempt
a woman from the path of economy into
one of reckless extravaganza These head
coverings are marvels of beauty and hand
work, and veritably worth their weight
in gold. On foundation of netted
silk several degrees heavier than hlet
net are rivetted gold or silver bull
lion strips, hence the reason for sell
ing them by weight. Because 1t is so
difficult to decide which of the several
kinds of these Soudanese scarfs is the
more beautiful, most women hesitate be-
tween those of black, embroidered with
gold, and those of white, embelllshed
with silver. From an economical stand
point these scarfs are the cheapest of
all those included In the costly class, as
they accord with any type of costume.
and so strong is the silk netting and so
thorough the handiwork that they will
endure more wear than materials which
seem much more substantial.
Simple scarfs that lend a girl the air
of convent novice are those Of soft,
white twilled silk, finished with two
inch-wide hem and ends embroidered
heavily in white silk These are mex
pensive and tremendously becoming to
youthful face. They may be cleaned
by folding them In magnesia and -four,
which will absorb the soil of several
wearings. All white scarfs, whether or
chiffon, crepe de chine or silk, should
be wrapped in blue paper whenever laid
away, lest they lose their snowy tint
White embroidered net scarfs may be
treated similarly, but are much easier
to care for, as they do not soil readily,
and in case they require laundering need
only be dipped in hot water and CASTLE
soap and stretched over a frame to dry.
Again the heirloom becomes of immedi-
ate value as an accessory, for no scarf
could possibly be more beautiful than are
those of Brussels, duchesse and point de
Venise. Two narrow hounces may be

while those intended for less ceremonlous
occasions are from yard to two yards

The Revival of the
Scarf.

Nearly every country In the world con
tributes in some detail to the beauty of
the fashionable costume as ordained by
the powers that hold high court in Paris
and Vienna, London and New York. From
Japan we have acquired the long shout
der and dropping sleeve of the kimono,
but instead Of placing the obi accompanl-
ment of that graceful garment about the
waist, the sash, In the shape of a scraf,
Isl employed alike for the neck, the head
and the shoulders, SO manifold are its
possibilities.
The value of scarf as a feminine cos
tune accessory is so obvious that most
women deem 1t necessary to have any
where from two to a dozen, as they are
worn for morning, afternoon and evening
by the schoolgirl

her elder sister and her mother. Even the
grandmother resurrects long shawls she
wore so years ago and rechristens them
scarfs.
AS the time approaches for furs to be
discarded more scarfs than ever will be
worn with the dark-toned wool runabout
coat and skirt suits, and for these such
SOFT flexible silks as China and Japanese
and crepes will be used in pastel blues
and green, French pinks and the orchid
shades which blend so well with most
deep colors. These morning accessories
are necessarily simply finished, usually
with an inch-wide hemsttched border or
with a feather-stitehed hem. The ma
terial is inexpensive and may be readily
manipulated by any neat heedlewoman.
1t being a fancy to have such searfs

girls will have several of them.
Scarfs will play n prominent role In
the costume designed for the bridesmaids
at spring weddings, especially when Rom
ney and Gainsborough picture effects are
sought. They will naturally be fluffy af-
fairs OF chiffon, edged all round with
marabout or ostrich feathers, or with
sprays of spring flowers to match the
trimmings of the wide brimmed gauzy
hats.
The woman who had a thrifty grand
mother so careful Of her precious Canton
crepe shawl that she rarely wore it when
shawls were the fashion may rejoice ex-
ceedingly, for never were those marvel
Gus products of the Orient more in de-
mand and so difficult to obtain as now.
So long and wide are some of these heir
looms that they may be used as wrap
and head covering. and If slightly ivor1ed
by age so much the better. There are
possibilities, too, in those gauzy s1lken
fabrics brought years ago from the Phil
ippines. These are striped affairs In faint
shades of rose, blue, green and maize
that are very effective with black gowns,
and, being wide, they require merely a
hemstitched border as a finish.
Remnants of Paisley and India shawls
that have long been deemed worthless
and only preserved from sentiment may
now be utilized by cutting the design
from the cashmere and appliqueing II
upon any soft, fine silken material. A
most striking combination evening wrap
and head-covering of this character was
developed by appliqueing the border of a
Paisley shawl upon white messaline with
gold thread.
Among the simplest and at the same
time the daintiest of the evening scarfs
are those of crepe de chine, chiffon and
China silk, which are seen In white and
every delicate tint. They are wide enough
in most instances to cover the head and
shoulders and are finished with narrow
side hens and wide ends, feather-stitched.
Any of these pale tinted, soft fabrics are
wonderfully becoming when draped about
the face and neck, but to be effective
their ends should be lightly hand painted
in pale, delicate tints. Many girls do this
by stretching the material upon a curtain
frame and painting the ends in clusters
of orchids, field flowers or Delft designs.
or, If very expert and daring, Japanese
tea garden scenes similar to those on the
oriental embroidered satin opera coaks
now so much In vogue.

blacks and browns and grays for street
wear rather than the lighter tones for
evening.
Radical Costume Changes.
While hats have grown smaller, equally
radical changes have taken place in cos
: tunes. The short sleeves is no longer
considered high style in anything but
evening frocks, and here 1t is often
mere suggestion Of an arm covering.
One couturiere use three bands of
crushed malinette over the top of the
arm and calls the arrangement sleeve.
Draped effects are very much used in
evening toiettes. There may be q small
puff of the dress material as a means of
shaping the shoulder lines to the proper
fashionable proportions and angles, but
this is well-nigh hidden by the scarf
ends of lace drapery which depend to a
length anywhere from the elbow to the
knees.
A costume to be worn by a certain
young society matron at Palm Beach
shows this artistic sleeve drapery. The
gown is a princess of softest white chif-
fon satin, the kind that costs SO and
81 the yard, and chiffon, which latter ma
terial is a foundation for the narrow
ribbon-like strapping of satin edged
with silver sequins running from the
decolletage to the top of the foot 1ounce.
Wreaths of satin roses are appliqued
fiat to the skirt below the knees and sew
eral inches over the top Of the houAce.
Though the bodice is cut quite low, the
neck is filled in with a white Brussels
lace scarf, so that the decollete is a
shallow point front and back.
Floral appliques garland the fronts
from the shoulders to the bustline, where
the ends hold in place a drapery of
black mallnette. The tiny pun sleeves
Of satin are gathered into narrow band,
swathed with the black net finishing on
top of the arm with a bow centered
with a small brilliant buckle. The ends
of the lace scarf, cut TO I'LL in the neck,
are employed as the sleeve drapery,
which depends almost to the wrist from
the back of the arm. This touch of black
on an otherwise one-toned gown is an
other adaptation of French fashions, and
one which gives character to many Of the
new costume models.

in dressy costume intended for lunch

are the long sleeve and the tunic skirt.
The material of the gown is a reseda

taffetas. The tunic or overskirt is only

plished The skirt is gathered full at
the waist and weighted with three deep

A coat which its owner intends to &C

body of the coat, which is seml-drectoire,
with a Napoleon collar Of braided velvet,
Is braided as deliberately as the sleeves.
These sleeves are n distinctive departure
from present modes, but unusual as the
garment is, there is nothing bizarre
about 1t. as one might imagine.
Evening Wraps.
We have worn such lightweight evening
wraps In the stormy North this winter
that the Southern traveller will, In many
instances, make her burneuse mantle or
Japanese cloak of softest cloth or richest
satin serve the winter out in the sunny

in evening coats, so that one may prac-
tice this bit of economy without hest

The White Serges.
White serge is immensely popular IN
two-plece tailored suits, with short skirts,
pleated or gored, and jaunty, semi-ftting
single-breasted coats, eutaway diagonally
from the lower button. In some of these
coats the japanese sleeves is a part of
the coat body, but It is so modified and
diminished In size from the costume
model as to make 1t quite practical in a
tailored garment. Suits of this descrlp-
ton, with dainty lingerie blouses finely
tucked and much inset with laces and
fine embroideries, and natty tailored head
gear are for afternoon outdoor wear.
The new millinery, by the way, is small,
quite diminutive compared with the ex-
aggerated mushrooms and chopping bowls
Of the winter. Many OF the shapes look
like brimless crowns and where a shape
does boast a brim 1t is decidedly mar
row. And brims turn up instead of down.
All this applies to tailored effects. Some

important feature of the millinery sltua-

strictly serviceable models classed as
ready-to-wear. In the dressy types flow.
