and head coverings for evening and out
ing wear. is one that is included in the
list. Such pretty hoods are made en-
tirely of fur or fur combined with lace.
Some are composed of filet or Irish lace
made over light silk or chiffon, inter
lined with pad of perfumed cotton.
and bordered with soft fur. There is
the Dutch hood that fits the head snugly
and is tied under the chin with broad
ribbons Another style which is popu-.
lar for the younger set consists OF lace,
flet or Irish and fur and is made to
fit the head from the face to the back
and then it is wide and loose falling we'll
over the cloak.
Winter waists for every day wear are
shown in thin striped fannels or delalnes
with a simple pattern. The prevailing
shades and the most mOdiSh are mauYe,
leaf green, and violet which appear in
stripes, tiny rings, dots or figures on
ground of cream, ecru, tan or mole col
or. In all cases the color seen III the
blouse must match the skirt Of suit with
which it is worn. If any buttons are
used they should be of bone, enamel OF
silk crochet and the belt and tie must
also be of the same shade. The styles
are so numerous, from the pl;ilnest tai
lored waist with only a few pleats to
the one with clusters of fine tucks and
the sloping shoulder effect. = ~
The newest linen collars are all colored
ones. Light blue, leaf green, pink and
gray are the most attractive, and these
are embroidered and scalloped around
the edge in pure white cotton. Some OF
the collars are white worked in a deli
cate color in up and down lines or Ill
circles or dots. The frills are worn
down the front, are usually edged with
color and in this case the cuffs and
collar should match this edge. If the
frill is plain white it is prettier to wear
tie of some color if there is none III the
waist.
The new Empire frock is very much
admired this season and the decoletage
is the noticeable feature, although it is
not as low as those seen before. a tiny
white frill of tulle is often used as Il
finish with a crescent of embroidery iii
fine crystal beads and bugles outlining
the front and also the back. The sleeves,
opened up the outside, have UNDER
sleeves of tulle embroidered in crystals.
The skirts are usually untrimmed, and
drawn tightly across the front but ripple
in soft folds at the sides.
4 charming outdoor costume noticed
the other day was of violet cloth made
in semi-Directoire fashion The coat,
tight-ftting,, was cut away just under
the bust line and showed a deep pointed
waiStcoat of heliOtrOpe and silver bro
cade fastened with amethyst buttons.
:There were gauntlet cuffs of brocade
with ruf1es of lace at the wrists, and the
same material appeared in the wide re-
vers touching the shoulders, and in the
pocket flaps. The hat that was worn
with this costume was a high-crOwned
shape with wide brim turning UP slightly
in front and faced with violet velvet,
Il Al. liz
trope taffeta. The plumes in these two
shades were fastened in front by two
chous of violet velvet and heliOtrOpe silk,
and dropped gracefully over the side and
back.
New spring materials are now appear
ing i'll all the shops and the display is
much larger than usual. Wooden mas
terials for lightweight tailored suits are
i'll great demand and checks instead of
stripes are receiving the most favor.
Checks of brilliant red and blue and pur-
pie are seen on "a white ground and ir-
regular checks are seen i'll white with
black. prune, blue and dull colors. Mixed
goods will hH much in vogue. Instead OF
plain pin stripe will be one outlined by
threads of n crude color which give a
pleasing effect Mixed gray fabrics will
continue to be worn; they always look
neat and are very attractive. Cheviots
will ever be in fashion and the heavier
English clothes are most desirable for
long listers.
Thin materials were never lovelier. Silk
null will be popular with large soft
flowers on Il plain background. Scotch
plaid mesSaline and two tones striped
silks it is predicted will have quite a
run. Among the less expensive dress
fabrics for shirt waist dresses are print
ed cotton foulards in pin stripes or
checks and the fancy bright faced silks
which come in the one and two tones
effects. ''Lowenette" is a new cotton
material which has a satin-like finish.
This will be very pretty and serviceable
for light weight jacket suits for spring
and summer
There are many styles of sleeves that
are worn this winter On evening gowns
seem to be the favorites. Some of the
puffs are box-plaited and others have
wide tucks running horizontally. A
fancy leg-O'-mutton is buttOned from the
wrist to the elbow, then leaving a puff.
The cuff finishes with a wide flare over
the hand
Dresden ribbons were never lovelier
than they are now. The designs and col
orings are so beautiful that some charm
ing gowns are trimmed almost entirely
with them. The new velvet embossed
ribbons are the handsomest ever shown.
One especially pretty piece was white
satin showing a Drofusion of pink and
white velvet lilies-of-the-valley with the
most delicate grayish-green foliage.
A charming gown that was noticed at
a 5 o'clock tea the other day was of At
lantic blue wolfe made with a surplice
front crossing over a vest Of white lace.
The sleeves were long, and wrinkled
down over the knuckles. The long coat
was Atlantic blue cloth matching the
gown and was beautifully trimmed with
Russian embroidery and faces with blue
silk. 1t was fastened together in front
with handsome ornaments that harmon
lied with the blue. The hat which made
this toilette complete was of blue felt,
with a big blue feather curling over
the brim.
Buttons as a trimming are very popu-
lar Some are large and fiat, covered
with the material of the dress and silk
covered ones are used on blouses where
the fastenings are visible. Often the
