FASHION NOTES.

The long slim lines to a figure that
we're predicted some time ago are now
appearing very frequently in models and
IN gowns worn by the fashionable set in
the evening. There are no hip lines-it
must be one curve from above the waist
line to below the hips. This figure is
the only one that can wear the paouin
skirt Inc wasp waist is also predicted
Already it mas been seen Oh number of
women. TUNES are being fitted much
tighter from the waist line to the knees,
giving an almost straight line
There are very few sleeves that are
now being made that can be called pref
ty, and it is really unusual to have them
made of the same material as the rest
sleeves of chiffon, lace or some trans
parent stuff, laid in deep folds. Any
thing but lace may be Wrinkled the
full length. Draperies and floating
sleeves are very fashionable. These are
open, on the, top of the arm and are
caught together by ornaments. Cos
tunes OF brOadclOth have the sleeves of
that material coming down over the top
of the arm in folds or metered out and
buttoned over. Paris is showing posi-
lively tight fitting sleeves with no gath
ers at the armhole, on the newest tail
Ored suits.
Evening wraps are so very much in
fashion that it is worth ones while to
notice all these elegant garments. A
very charming one was made of cerise
cloth, finished with ermine that had a
narrow piping along the edges of blue
cloth. The lining was of ermine and
cravat of pastel blue cloth was knOtted
together in front Another wrap, equal
ly as beautiful was of jade-green Iiber-
ty finished at the bottom with deep tucks
set between bias folds of velvet of the
same shade. Around the neck was
braided design which was made of mar
row bases of chiffon satin, in blue
cream color, black and green combined
and these colOrs were also knotted to-
gether in a cravat.
A touch of gilt is noticeable on all
the gowns of the season whether they
are for the house or street wear. Brown
is a color that holds it's popularity and
There are gilt ornaments and clasps
braid with fine gold thread running
through it, and also brass buttons in
small sizes and large fiat styles. Allan
tic blue broadcloth is charming when
trimmed with gilt ornaments and braid.
An attractive piece of braiding was of
plain gold with groups of French knots
in gold thread over it.
The little accessories Of dress often
count more in the appearance of a we'll
gOwned woman than the expense of the
costume. The gloves should match the
w
with the gloves, with a wooden handle
to match the gown; wrist bag to match
the umbrella and the boot tops that GO
well with everything. These are few
of the most noticeable things that make
the dress artistic. The French woman
is wearing gloves of tan, old gold or bis
cult color, which are always attractive
WaiStcOats are being made of lowered
pink cretonne buttOned with pearl or
gold buttons. Any lowered goods is
made into waistcoats and vests, and they
add much to dark suit.
CreDe de chine is having a decided
vogue this season and its new qualities
are much more durable than former
ones. This material is particularly pref
ty in gray of a soft lustrous texture. A
gown of silver gray crepe de chine no.
ticed at recent smart function was
made with the empire back but with no
trimming except silver embroidered flet
lace for the yoke and undersleeveS.
Hosiery and slippers for evening wear
must match the gown. There are some
exceptions, however, for bronze satin or
leather embroidered with gilt thread or
beads are very attractive and are much
worn. The hosiery to match is of
bronzed yellow-silk and may be open
work or embroidered. The slipper heels
are high and dangerously slender.
Lace coats it is predicted, will be the
height of fashion before many weeks and
garments for street wear. Some models
show the lace in a deep shade of tan,
made tight-ftting and three-quarteF
length. The front is fastened by braid
ed ornaments. Lace dinner coats are
being much worn. These are usually
loose with immense flowing sleeves cut
all in one A handsome one was of
champagne colored lace lined with topaz
silk.
The separate hat is the fashion of the
season-one that does not match the suit
in color, but that harmonizes with it;
A royal purple hat worn with a suit of
smoke gray gives a stunning effect be
e enough to brighten the gray. In shape
the majority of hate suggest the bell,
yet notifications are apparent, Crowns
bell brims The Gainsborough brim is
the most picturesque of all winter hats.
This shape is generally trimmed with
heavy masses, of ostrich plumcs or big
punches of velvet flowers.
