! pleted the costume.
| Black relieved with some color is
| frequently seen both at the dressiest
| affairs as we'll as On the street. And
to the woman who wishes an elegant
| costume that can be used for many
occasions nothing is so serviceable
and will serve so many purposes as
the black ibroadcloth or other fine
| cloth costume.
| A little later on in the season the
black cloth skirt with the fur jacket
will be often seen. The skirt will
| most frequently be made in princess
style with a high girdle and guimpe
| Or yoke and sleeves of heavy lace or
| net or fine silk.
A style, much affected both in vel
vet and cloth is the belted coat with
the waistline raised above the normal
| line and defined by high folded beII
o. satin.
Many of the coats are literally
smothered in soutache and velvet
piping and when many coats in a sea-
son can be had it is an elegant ad-
dition to a wardrobe, but not good
choice where but one garment may be
had.
Little fichu wraps trimmed with err
mine or other fur of the softer kinds
are liked for afternoon costumes and
for receptions or carriage wraps. Some
are made of chinchilla costumes and
lace or ermine and lace. They are
liked for wear over gowns of velvet.
number of tapestry vests are to
be seen in some of the most handsome
gowns of the coat and skirt variety.
And in nearly every costume that has
any tendency towards the Directoire
cut there is to be seen the long, soft
sash of liberty silk. Some of the skirt
and heavier waists are also trimmed
with bands of the tapestry. And in
the tGnic models it is a most effective
mode.
A DirectOire skirt with corselet
waist and tunic and tunic bodice in
a wolfe of London smoke was banded |
with a fine thin tapestry showing |
Dresden colors. The same idea would |
be handsome carried out in black !
crepe de chine with bands of black |
passementeTie.
All Shades of bronze are being ex-
plotted; some are of. a warm brown
tint, some are dull in color and others
are of a green shade and of these last
there are some beautiful combina |
tons decorated with black 1t is one
of the newest and most charming of |
the newer shades. Hats of bronze col
ored velvet trimmed with dull gold or
and dark brown or black
plumes are very elegant and as rule
are becoming if the right shade of
bronze has been chosen.
Mole color and damson are two pop
ular shades for this season and the
latter is especially liked for millinery
purposes. A very handsome tutban
of dull silver and head and tail of fur.
The fur should give the tone of con.
trast-
Amber is very fashionable both in
jewelry and as trimmings on evening
gowns. If any should have ali old |
fashioned amber necklace they are IN
luck.
More fur is used on hats than usual
this season. and as gray is a popula.
color, chinchilla is much used on taupe
and other shades of gray felt and the
ribbed silk shapes.
RoSetteS of all sizes are being
much used and they are more often
seen on the fur toques ian on any Il
other shape Or style of hat. 1ney are
usually Of bright color such as cerise
On brown fur draped over with silver
net, and caught with a huge garnet
capauchOn-
The inverted basin" style of hat is
we'll liked and is a little
smaller than those of the early sea
con the trimmings are laid closer to
he brim and crown.
For the street. blue is a welI-Iiked
color and many blue serges and cash
neres will be. seen this winter The
serge is the better goods for the street
but in a light or medium shade the
cashmere is unequalled for q house
