WAIsTcoATs IN GAY coLoRs.
One Of the Striking Effects Dame
Fashion Orders.

Waistcoats and waistcoat effects are
In style this season, and most ex-
quisite in color and workmanship are
many of them,
Brocade in all colors is much used,
while satin or velvet, braided in sou.
tache or silver or gold. is also smart.
A brown velvet costume. with an
orange velvet waisthcoat, braided in
brown, with line of gold, is charm
tngly original and picturesque.
The same color. with waistcoat OF
old rose and green brocade, Is quite
original and utterly different from any
thing OF the same nature that has been
seen for long time.
Gold and white and silver and white
brocade are effective with all colors.
and this season the all black costumes
that are thought smartest are made
with these waistcoats-not wide, but
narrow, and so put into the coat that
they are not conspicuously prominent,
Sat appear as II they were merely part
of scheme OF color.

DAINTY DESIGNS IN COLLARS.
Almost Any Material and Shape Has
Popular Approval.

The linen collars and tabe are Just
as fiat as pressing can make them. In
the first place the linen collar Is plain
and shaped. There is a style which
hearkens back to the collar which was
rounded at the back, the sides and
followed slightly under the chin. This
is now the prevailing style. 1t may be
fitted with jabot Of the same. though
the fanlike arrangement Is pressed
very fiat and has a decided tailor
effect. This does not mean that frills
are not used, for undoubtedly they
are, and in great numbers. Some of
the prettiest fluffy collars of the sea-
son are dainty affairs of ethereal ma
terial. banded with pale ruching. A
pale tan silk ruchlng attached to ecru
lace is very handsome. 1t must be
fashioned to open in the back, for the
tie In front must be arranged neatly
and sewed into place for all time.
Other linen collars are made with
small mercerized cotton dots worked
over the surface. When ironed with
a gloss they are very pretty to wear
with white or colored waists. One
collar made with white dots had each
miniature dot outlined with a narrow
black ring. The small black bow at
the front gave dainty touch.

expensive hats. One of the twain Is
made in cinnamon brown satin brim,
soft full crown in chine silk, finished
off with the chou of cinnamon satin
and the new ostrich mount This Is a
hat which can be worn with any cos
tune and can be made in any color
desired, and made in black satin un-
derlned with velvet would be very
striking.
The second hat shown In the illus
tration Is of an equally dainty crea-
mauve satin underlined In velvet in a
darker color with a charming wreath
of two shades in velvet flowers fast
ened In front with bunch of deep
rich cerise silk roses. This lovely hat
would go well with a rather colorless
gown. 1t can be made in all colors, and
would have very smart effect.
DEATH" | would cry most gladly
to the cloche hat, though l would by
no means Danish from recognition the
mushroom hat which was the orig

ties. which have already exceeded all
the bounds Of good taste, to say moth

should be sorry to insist as pivot
for fashion; but, again | repeat. tho
mushroom hats by all means.
These are made in felt or beaver,
wreathed with autumn leaves, or
trimmed with colored velvet choux.
They are easily achieved at home,
these choux. Only select the colors
which contrast well, and buy three
eighths of yard of velvet on tho

gather them round together at the
back, place them on the hat, and in
dent them with your finger wherever
you think likely to look well. The
more carelessly this is done the bet
ter the effect.
One hat which was made after the
above directions was of dark purple,
and the three colors were peacock

hat was of the Mushroom shape,

Lace and Net Dresses.

While the more elaborate costumes
OF real lace and handmade nets are
outside the field of the little gown. and
beyond the reach Of any but the most
generously supplied pocketbook, there
are great opportunities to obtain
pretty, modish, and lasting frocks In
the ready-made robes that are shown
at very moderate prices. These are
easily put together by any one at all
skilled ip the art of dressmaking. and
individual touches can be added to
their ready-made garnitures which will
differentiate them from other bought
pattern dresses and bring them into
the class Of elegance that is forbidden
to the moderately endowed. Spangled
robes are still modish. but they must
have patterns picked out In braids or
quilted ribbon braidings, insets OF lace.
or medallions OF plated muslin to
make them different from the COM
moner sort.

FOR HOLDING HAT
SIMPLE CONTINUANCE THAT IS
OF VALUE.
May Be Said TO Fill q lonq-Fen
Want In the Preservation Of
Delicate and Costly
Millinery.

Where to keep her hats so that they
are protected from dust and light,
which may fade delicate feathers and
ribbons, has been one OF the problems
with which the practical woman has
long wrestled none too successfully.
Hat boxes are not easily slowed away,
and then so many OF them are needed
to hold a single seasons set OF head
wear that II would take q small sized
apartment for these alone. There are
boudoir hat cabinets and exquisite
cretonne and lace covered sets OF
boxes designed especially for hats, but
these are expensive, as rule, and
there Is not always room In ones
chamber to accommodate this extra
piece of furniture.
In place of such trays and series OF
prettily covered compartments hat
holders of less attractiveness but great
utility have recently been offered. The
simplest ones are made of stiff wire
frames, resembling somewhat an In
verted scoop bonnet. They stand
about eight inches high and thus raise
the fashionable style OF hat to q
height from the closet shelf which
will prevent the disturbance of any ol
the dropping trimming now in vogue
These frames may be procured In the
shops without any decoration. There
are two small rings at the top and two
larger ones at the bottom, with sup
porting pieces of wire. between, and Il

under the plat, thus reducing the bulk
about waist and hips.
Chiffon and other thin goods Is sim
ply laid in deep plaits and blind
stitched down. This goods cannot be
cut away, as II would show through,
but by laying the plaits In accurately
and pressing thehm properly. they do
not add to the apparent size Of the
wearer.
Simple shirt waists are laid In wide
box plaits IL the material Is heavy.
while in the sleasy goods, now so
much worn for fancy blouses, the ma
terial Is laid in tiny folds Of plaits so
close that they almost overlay each
other.
Simple as some Of these models look
to the casual glance, they represent
much goods and very careful work
manship. Crooked plaits are impossi-
BILE, and working on chiffon is no easy
| task
There is a marked return OF simple
effects in shirt waists, owing to the
fact that the elaborate lingerie waist,
with hand-worked flowers, scrolls,
wreaths, etc, has been very much
overdone In its place we have a
blouse made OF exquisite goods,
plated or laid in deep folds.
Its only trimming Is tiny bit Of
real lace at throat and cuffs, or q
bib" Of dainty embroidery. Almost
all Of the blonses OF sheer material
must have silk lining, but the girl
who cannot AFFORD this expense will
find at the lining counter many cotton
goods with silk luster to them that
really answer every purpose.
A good quality Of silk null will make
. a suitable lining for chiffon waist,
but care must be taken to secure q
firm piece and not to have the lining
fit very snug.
In selecting material for your gowns
be sure that 1t is soft and pliable.
Avoid, as you would the plague, wiry
goods that are stiff and unmanageable
There Is no use for them in the gowns
of to-day. Everything must be plated
and goods that will not stand this
process is better off lying on the coun
ters than in the sewing-room.
Do not get silk for an odd skirt, and
in the second place, have all of your
skirts plated. Never mind II 1t does
cut into the goods; make it up-to-date
at any cost. Taffeta silk skirts are
only suited for spring and summer
wear.
If you want an odd skirt now, get q
black broadcloth in what Is known as
chiffon weight. A good quality OF
black broadcloth. with a stain finish
makes charming skirt for your ole
blouses and is very reasonable. Taf
fetas and rajahs are not for cold
weather.
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1908-02-06

There is nothing new under
the sun. unless 1t is in dress,
and woman-that is. fashionable
woman is constantly on the
Qui vive to catch the latest hints of
fashion, and to accommodate them to
her peculiar needs and her pocketbook.
Perhaps the newest novelty for the
winter season Is the Beau Brummel"
tie. 1t was first introduced across the
water, and was instantly taken into
feminine and fashionable favor with
an enthusiasm easily to be understood
and certain to be shared when once
you see for yourself just how convent
ent and how charming 1t Is. So as such
knowledge will increase both your
comfort and your smartness this win
ter we show above the faithful pOr-
trait of the new tie for all to study
and admire, and may tell you that its
fastening is most simply and success
fully effected by the mere passing of
one end through loop of the fur,
while by the same means IL can be ad.
justed to fit the neck as closely and
costly as you will. 1t is indeed a won
derfully protective little affair, and
will be a most welcome addition to
the collarless coats which continue SUI
preme in fashions favor, while then
according to your mood of the moment
or the style of your accompanying
headgear you can either let its ends
be piquantly poised at one side or
more demurely folded in front, the
charm of variety being thereby added
to it's account.
The more "dressy" tailor-made coats
are for the most part of half-length or
to the ankles. Very few short ones are
seen in cloth or serge. though there
are exceptions made in fur sacques
and boleros; in fact, at any minute
the little sacque coats may be re-
vided, but for the moment let us con-
tent ourselves with the long graceful
semi-fitting coats which are so becom-
ing to most of womankind.
In our illustration we show one of
the latest tailor-mades. AS can be

The Noseaay Fashion.

That very charming habit OF wear
ing bouquet of flowers tucked into
the corsage is again universal among
the best dressed women, only as often
as not the flowers worn are artificial.
A bunch of malmaisons, of roses. or
of violas Is modish. The first-named
blossoms wear well, and so real ones
are chosen in preference to made
ones; but roses soon droop and violas
cannot always be obtained. so In their
case artificial blossoms are preferred.
