gold yelloWs are very SUCCESSFUL as
Innings for sealskin, and these same
tones are also cleverly used In some
handsome coats in brown caracul
Muffs are larger than ever thisSe
son, and usually fat and soft. The
handsomest models are without trim
ming, but, as usual, lhere are some
fanciful models in combinations of fur,
fur and lace, fur and velvet, fur and
chiffon and net.
Fur will also be uHed quite extern
sively for trimming suits this season.
Handsome cloth suits are shown in
the fashionable shops, tastefully trim
med with bands of fur. The fur is
employed on the skirts and collars
cuffs and waistcoats are made of it to
90 with the coat Fur is also often
used for trimming hats to be worn
with such fur-trimmed suits
One of the novel and striking fea-
lures seen at the horse show were
clan plaid waistcoats. These small
garments, which promise to become
quite popular, are of clan plaid sill
and modelled closely after a mans
vest. They may be worn with any
type of simply tailored cloth or
worsted costume that is developed in
one tone, as, of course, the brilliant
colors of the plaid would be certain to
clash unpleasantly with any light
shade of red, blue or green.
While the costliest of fabrics were
seen at the evening sessions of the
horse show, they were made up into
a type of costume which is a cross
between that worn for afternoon re
ceptions and large weddings in
churches and the regulation dinner
gown, as they were more elaborate
than the one while they differed radi-
cally from the other, in that the waist
invariably was made high and the
arms were fully covered.
Speaking of waistcoats, it may be
said that ordinary silk and satin
waistcoats are commonplace and rot
considered good style. Waistcoats of
upholstery material are quite fashion
able, on the other hand. These fash
ionable fabrics are somewhat rough
and often have thread of bullion
running through them. While brass
buttons are at the height of style for
both waistcoats and coats, there the
beginning of a movement to avoid
them on some of the best suits. Waist.
coats on extra handsome black broad
cloth suits are fastened without visi-
BILE buttons. They are bound with old
galloon, which has the disadvantage of
furnishing, but can be easily renewed
Black for general wear is evidently
destined to have as great a vogue
this year as it had last year, and black
cloth gowns designed for wear with
black fur or velvet jackets are among
the smartest of all new models
Fashionable big picture hats are
made of velvet to match the gown
with which they are worn, and are
trimmed only with long feathers, all
carried out in the same shade.
Wedding gowns are changed so that
instead of the heavy velvet train hang |
ing from the shoulders, the veil will
fulfill its old mission and be veil and |
train in one. Thus, when the veil is
discarded, the gown is one that may
be worn for dinners and dances
Hoods have become highly popular
in Paris and all the famous Partisan |
milliners are catering to the new fad |
and turning out the most charming |
models. For evening wear these hoods |
are perfect boon, as they combine
beauty and comfort as no other head |
covering ever did before.
Though never obtrusively fashiona-
bic. the grays are the cnoice of many |
really well.dressed women, particu-
larly for evening dresses that are to
be worn often.
