FADS FOR WOMEN.

Clusters of pearls in round and oblong
shape form the heads of some of the new
est hat pins. These pins are to be used
for mourning hats as we'll as for general
headwear, though the more conservative
women will probably prefer the same de-
signs carried out in gun metal.
a very beautiful hat pin in a new de-
sign is large, round and fiat, of gun
metal, set with rhinestones. Then there
are enameled pins, the butterfly being one
OF the newest designs, in a number of
pretty colorings. No one interested in
chlldrenS hats can fail to notice the
quaint effects they display this season.
Inc most popular shape is the medium
mushroom, the saucer crown and droop
ing brim. but in the trimming the quaint
note is struck.
Fancy buttons of metal or jet are used
for fastening the long fur coats. :, sually
there are four large buttons, none of
them more than fifteen inches below the
waist line.
Rufiies appear on the left side of some
OF the otherwise tailored DEMONSTRATING

Dancing slippers, whether OF patent
leather or of velvet, now have several
straps over the instep each decorated in
some manner with beads or tinsel.
There are many novelties in wells; those
which are double and of contrasting color
must be chosen wisely. not to detract
from the beauty of the wearer.
Unusually attractive scaliops are seen
over collars. The more elaborate ones
have the front points of Irish crochet
lace.
Boleros and garnitures of jet, as well as
of net embroidered i'm the metallic sequ1ns,
are among the dresSiest accessories tor
