Some one has thought of pretty
device to save losing her fan at theatr'
or ball, and now are fashioned brace
lets which hold the tiny hand fan Sc
curely, yet gives easy manipulation
and graceful movement of the wrist
These were first made of carved tor
toise shell to carry out the idea O
the shell handle of the fan, to which
it was attached by dull gold chain
From this, more beautiful ideas have
evolved and these decorative and use
full things are found in varied designs
White ivory of such delicate carving as
to appear like a band of creamy lace
around the wrist, is the bracelet used
for white fan which hangs from
a silken cord Another lovely one is in
jet which holds black spangled fan.
There are any number of gold and
silver designs set with jewels and any
taste may be gratified in this new
thought for evening wear
As the colors this season follow
along the line of subdued tones, the
eye is relieved by the introduction Of
note of bright color in the form of a
big artificial flower of silk worn at
the corsage. tt is with the style of
dress combining street and house quail
ties which may be worn out of doors
without coat, that these big bios
SONS are seen. The flower worn in
this monner is usually of vivid hue and
on effective one is the crimson velvet
oinsetta-though the huge red rose
is equally attractive. These flowers
are of such dimensions as to appear
to almost cover the front of the bodice.
Another opportunity for the color
note as an accompaniment to the street
gown is the glove handkerchief dainti-
ly hemmed with color harmonizing with
the gown, and quite "swagger" is the
handkerchief for morning use, of solid
color, preferably orange. There are
also attractive ones in old rose, laven-
der, and green. These are decorated
with a monogram embroidered in black.
In Paris the favorite placing of the
spot" of color is on the nat. A
single rose is combined with fui trim
ming on velvet hats or is placed upon
fur hats.
Many of the small hats are made of
two or three kinds of fur. Ermine af
fords beautiful line of white for any
h,+ g,
a brim of Russian sable. Frequently
is used a tiny head of ermine as a
contrast with the somber furs. Onyx
is pleasing in combination with colored
velvets. White fox forms an irresistible
trimming upon hats of white beaver.
Coats are long and perhaps fitting
the figure little closer, especially
over the hips and slight attempt is
apparent to give the back a narrow
straight effect.
As quickly as fashion becomes alb
solutely set or pronounced so that it
is called popular there is sure to spring
up the contradiction which appears now
to the long coat in the shape of re-
turn of some of the jaunty little
short basqued coats which are often
so convenient and becoming. They
are often made in some of the heavy
corded or fancy changeable silks.
