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 a foundation of netted
silk several degrees heavier than hlet

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, embellished
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,

Scarfs will play a 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 FUZZY at
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 1t when
shawls were the fashion may rejoice ex-
ceedingly, for never were those marVei-
Gus products of the Orient more In de-
mand and so difficult to obtain as now
So long and wide are some of these nelr-
looms that they may be used as wrap
and head covering, and If slightly ivorled
by age so much the better. There are
possibilities, too, in those gauzy sllken
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

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 a 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
standing with reluctant feet
Where womanhood and childhood meet"
her elder sister and her mother Even the
grandmother resurrects long shawls she
wore 80 years ago and rechrtstens them
scarfs.
As the time approaches for furs to be
discarded more scarfs than ever VIII 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 hemstitched border or
with a feather-stitched hem. The ma
terial is inexpensive and may be readily
manipulated by any neat needlewoman-

con, or enjoying this midday repast from
the motor hamper along the road.
Motor toys for these temperate chimes
are such as we wear at home in the
summer and late spring. The clumsy
fur garments are not needed below the
Mason and Dixon Line. A lightweight
worsted or heavy silk garment Of motora
Is ample protection, with simple light
weight worsted or mohair frock In some
practical color that will not show the
soil Of travel.
The white serges.
White serge is immensely popular In
two-plece tailored suits, with short skirts,
peated or gored, and jaunty, semi-ftting
single breasted coats, cutaway 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 deserip-
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.
Advance Millinery.
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
shapes droop over the coiffure in the
back, but this is about the only sugges-
ton OF the mushrooms so far. Another
important feature of the millinery sltua-
ton is the abundance Of trimming with
which these small affairs are laden Rib
bons and novelty feather effects trim the
strictly serviceable models classed as
ready-to-wear. In the dressy types flow
ers and ribbons combine with leghorns,
neapolitans and soft flexible novelty
braids, capable of artistic manlpula-
ton, to create fascinating picture eff
fects. Broad-brimmed shapes, with me
dunn high crowns. are often trimmed
with huge wired bows Of malinette IN The
hat color.

and muff. This pertains to the practical
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 maiinette over the top of the
arm and calls the arrangement a sleeve.
Draped effects are very much used in
evening toilettes There may be a small
pun 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
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
fat to the skirt below the knees and sew
eral inches over the top Of the nouhce.
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 drapery of
black malinette. 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 conferred
with a small brilliant buckle. The ends
of the lace scarf, cut to fill 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 or the
new costume models.

One shiYers Just a little bit more and
Gnstinctively wraps soft furs just a little
closer in these sharp winter days when
passing shop windows filed with summer
millinery, and all sorts of dainty warm
weather hnery. And why this premature
display weeks and months in advance of
our summer season? To attract trade at a
dime when the fashionable set are fitting

Mama and other resorts in that latitude
where the rigors of a Northern winter are
unknown.
HarbingerS of Spring.
Fashions displayed at this time are
looked upon as forerunners Of the spring
time. IN fact, many a Southern ward
robe will be brought back North at the
end of the season, renovated and worn
with assurance that nothing more fash
ionable or higher in style could be found
In the latest, or rather the newest, spring
models In costumes and millinery.
This opening Of the new season so soon
after the closing of the old year and the
beginning Of the new has its advantages,
even for the stay -at-homes, for one may
select the spring wardrobe from these
early harbingers with a feeling of great
est surety and be prepared for the first
spring days that steal into the closing
weeks of winter.
Southern Wardrobes.
The Southern sojourner's wardrobe is
more or less elaborate, according to ones
social position and stopping place. II the
six weeks sojurn is made at a fashion
able hotel ones time is divided mainly
between outdoor sports and the ballroom.
Mornings are given over to tennis, golf
and long woodland tramns in short skirts,
stout footwear, comfortable sweaters and
jaunty headgear. It is not fashionable
any longer to go about with uncovered
head away from the hotel yeranda, even
though the sunlight is known to work
wonders with the cnevelure. So the debu-
tante wears a coquettish tam o'shanter

in a dressy costume intended for lunch
cons, afternoon teas and bridge. These
are the long sleeve and the tunic skirt.
The material of the gown is a reseda
green marquisette, developed over white
taffetas. The tunic or overskirt Is only
simulated, but it Is cleverly accom-
plished. The skirt is gathered full at
the waist and weighted with three deep
foot tucks. Above this set on in pointed
overskirt lines is a hounce of dyed green
pailletted lace, faced and headed with
band of the marquisette. The bodice is
an deliberately embroidered jumper, with
round neck and cape sleeves of the span
gled lace over the long wrlnkled sleeves
of spotted white net. These are so long
as to cover the knuckles. They are point
ed on the top of the hand and finished
with lace edging. The guimpe is of
hlet, with Venise appliques.
A Novel Coat.
A coat which its owner intends to ac-
company this green costume is of black
cloth, with white cloth Jap sleeves,
heavily braided with black soutache. The
body of the coat which Is semi-directoire,
with q Napoleon collar Of braided velvet,
is braided as deliberately as the sleeves.
These sleeves are 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
South. There is nothing particularly new
In evening coats, so that one may prac-
tice this bit of economy without hest
fancy.
