 sHIMMERING sCARFs..
 It is difficult to trace scarfs back to their origin. Every since women real ized the ornamental value of a strip of shimmering silk (and in Italy they have never underrated it) have scarfs been wound overhead or shoulders or twisted in sinuous folds around neck. arms and waist.
 We have seen the striped silken scarf of Algiers. the gorgeous tissues of the Persian beauties, and spangled nets which have half concealed Turkish eyes. But when twentieth century art throws its scarfs over the heads and sh builders of Western beauties. then indeed are the wonderful allurements of the line and color worthy of admi- ration
 All scarfs lead to Paris: at least Paris first points the way and we fol- low. No woman will need urging along the spangled paths of this sea- sons styles. These irresistible pieces of net and lace have bound feminine hearts with silken threads. and wo- men are rejoicing in this new captiv- ity.
 Pink radium forms a soft back beads flashes out barbaric splendor. The effect Is the golden light of sum- set.
 A less fiashy scarf is of corn -colored tulle. It is embroidered with silk of the same hue, in long, effective stitches which hint of the wheat field. A heavy fringe of yellow silk gives an eight inch border.
 Many women cling to a white effect It commends itself because of its har- monizing quality. being capable of dec- &OOfO any SOioA OA the evening toilette. We'll, for those Paris has sprinkled silver stars over white radium. The midway e has been brought to earth. --r
 Black Is always attractive.
 conventional border of gunmetal beads and kinghsher-biue disks pro- duces a line of iridescence which fol- lows the sides and ends in straight simplicity.
 Ioa scarf, which rivals the beauty of his coloring. Green silk floss gives hint of feathers. while blue sequins fall in a shower at the edges.
 Purple marquisette and fiber thread are combined in heliotrope idea. The design covers the ends and trails along the sides in glistening curves. Coin- spots of silk dot the center.
 Warmth Is combined with beauty in a crepe de chine scarf. The colors re- call old brocades. A dresden center is a novel contrast to the plain, old-g gold border. ...
 Do you think that the mantilla has been forgotten? Decidedly not! White and black laces are ready for your Spanish type. Beauty of design Is compensation for lack of gleam or color.
 The scarf season is upon us. From the number of beautiful designs each pair of pretty shoulders ought to be yelled with filmy grace which enhances the beauty of the evening gown.

 TAILORs FAVOR THE OvERSKIRT.
 In fact the dressmakcrs are predict ing that by Christmas we shall all be wearing overskirts in some form or other; plain, fitted tunic effects on tailored skirts and veritable paniers and draperies on more elaborate frocks. Many of the ready-to-wear- suit skirts have what the saleswoman will assure you Is the new tunic overskirt. This is really a separate circular skirt, clinging snugly over the hips and fall. ing over a deep-pleated fiounce. Some of these tvnic overskirts extend down. ward In points; others cross the front of the skirt at the height of the knees in what is known as the lambrequin effect, the material sloping downward in a cascade at the back. Otter these little tunics are fastened at one side of the front under a row of big fancy buttons.
 But, however, the skirt may be made, there Is one thing certain: it will be short-escaping the ground by an inch or two. Once again there is a fad for trotteur skirts. Women stood the trail- ing, tagging Directoire skirts with what grace--or 1t must be confessed usually lack of grace-they could mus ter: but several fashiona ables-import- ant enough to be independe nt--have in- sisted on the comfortable trotteur skirt for street wear, and womankind nas gladly followed a lead so desir- able.
