The LATEST FADS
AND FASHIONS.
Especial to the ARGUs,)

The twelve, button length glove is
the one worn most with the half length
sleeves and the long glove is worn only
with evening toilets. With the long
sleeves the two Or three button glove
is correct for one any longer would be
IN the way The most desirable shade
for gloves are brown and gray.
A very smart gown of a transparent
~ ateriaI was of white chiffon cloth
and gold embroidery, which was de-
signed to be worn with coat of tur-
quoise velvet bordered with bands of
chi nchilla and embroidered in colored
silks. Very long trains are seen on
most of the gowns Of supple cloth. The

ular as buttons is pastilles of velvet.
They may outline panels and plaits,
draped sleeves and bodices or are
placed in rows OF graduated sizes on
the foot of skirts. The passementerie
ornaments are quito as fashionable as
they are made in SO many fshapes and
are used to finish scarfs, sashes and
peplumes. They serve instead of an
EN- broidered motif on jackets, cloaks
aid bodices.
Tailored suits are no longer the SIM
Il ooctnpooc hot fbou haua hoan but
now show touches of embroidery, lace
or braid to relieve the plain look. A
holero or long jacket is often outlined
with rows of tailor buttons. Strap
pings and stitching ornaments are on
some tailor made coats while the skirts
are trimmed with braided or bias
bands. A novel way is many horiz-
ontal or perpendicular rows Of tailor
braid.
Muffs and stoles that are newer than
the aI-fur ones are of velvet trimmed
with fur. A long stole of black velvet
was edged with fur and the muff W as
large and flat trimmed with bands OF
fur. Lovely cloth gowns are being
made charmingly attractive by fur
trimmings. They are intended mostly
for street wear3 as such trimming is
heavy even if it is lightly planned. All
tones OF tan look best with pipings,
bands and tiny collar and cuff trim
mings Of mink, caracul seal and pony.
The shades Of purple are all beauti-
full from the deep prelate to the orchid ,
mauye, amethyst, violet and plum
tints. Then there is an artistic pink in
old rose purplish tints. and raspberry
of dull1sh que, coral and Venetian
red. Sulphur and eehro yellsw sea-
bined with khaki, tnaeg and cop
perry tints are attractive. Among the
NJ uoh worn yellows are peills or straw !,
buttercup and old gold and lastly, tho
colors that are trying to be popular are
Pervanchetand the inky Chine bluo.
New York, Jan. 4-The fashions of
the New Year will not at first notice
seem any different from those seen
ca rlier in the season, but they are real
ly more settled, showing more OF the
latest styles that before have not been
generally adopted by New York wo-
men. Wedding and reception costumes
are receiving much attention for there
are to be so many fashionable we'd
dings this winter. Chiffon broadcloth
in the very softest weave is the fav-
orite for these gowns when worn in the
afternoon, and pastel blue takes the
lead of all the delicate colors. The
Empire effect is noticeable on all these
gowns and many show the short bodice
and Japanese sleeve in one. The
are generally made of Cluny lace and
filet net.
The wearing of top coats, not only
on the street but for all affairs, has
brought into fashion the light weight
coat and skirt suit over which the
great coat may be worn. The latter is
generally made with immense oape-
like sleeves SO it can be slipped over
anything. One smart jacket and skirt
suit was seen in supple cloath of dull
art green. The skirt was plated around
the hips and there were three wide
tucks running horizontally at an equal
distance apart and in graduated width.
This was the only trimming On tho
skirt. The jacket WAS sort Of . blouse
