NECK DRESSINGS

Hat, muff and neckpiece sets are
now made up of so infinite variety
of materials and in so many different
shapes that the average woman, and
especially the one who aims to dress
daintily, considers that at least two
such sets are necessary to complete
the list of winter wardrobe accessor-
les.
For ordinary service the darker and
more durable furs are more advisable.
Black and brown caracul, plucked
muskrat, natural and sabled squirrel
combine well with broadcloth and with
many other materials now fashionable
for runabout tailored street suits.
With such costumes are usually worn
turbans or toques which have fabric
crowns and fur-banded brims, neck
pieces conferred or edged with fur and
round muffs with fur-banded ends.
With ottoman and satin afternoon two
and three piece costumes are worn,
hats of matching material trimmed
with chinchilla, broadtail, ermine,
sable, mink and white fox bands. The
neckpieces take the form of four-in-
hand ties, narrow yardlong scarfs and
chokers fastening with silk or satin
bows while the muffs are trimmed at
the ends with little silken frills and
silk bands arranged entirely entire

black velvet, corded silk or tucked
chiffon in the high Elizabethan col
larettes. In these the pelt forms the
central band and the finishes the
streamer ends. The mats accompany
ing such neckpieces are of toque
shaped with fabric crowns and fur
brims, and the muffs chiefly of pelt,
with Innings and little ruffles of the
silken material.
Some of the hats included in the fur
and fabric three-piece sets have full
military cap crowns of soft silk or of
velvet falling toward the left side in
point finished tassel. These, of
course, are for quite young girls. The
neckpece is often fur bordered fabric
triangle, with tassel-finished points,
and the muff a pointed oblong
which folds over the hand pocket in a
tassel-pointed -bordered triangle.
AS brown furs combine so happily
with golden shades any amount of
gold net, filet and tissue is employed
for the Fittings of muffs and scarfs
and for hat trimmings. Gold garnish-
ings are also used with sealskin, one
of the daintiest combinations consist

FASHION NOTES.

Ready made satin and velvet caba-
chon rosettes with metal centers are
sometimes the sole trimming of tail
ored hats, or they are used as foun-
dation for wing clusters. Sometimes
several long -jooped wheel rosettes with
crushed ribbon or velvet cabachon CEN
tiers are put on hat, but usually one
is sufficient, especially il made of
loop rows clustering like petals about
rose heart. Many of these rosettes
are used in connection with a crush
silk band trimming the entire crown.

scarcely anything more practical, as
when pin-holed the band may easily
be replaced.

a fur-banded hat, trimmed with lace

Silver and chnchilla are a faVorte

these metal cloth, ribbon and embroid-
cry are used with the white gray fur
just as black velvet, satin and jetted
lace are employed with ermine. Still
more artistic are the ermne furs COM

showing silver outlined black en-
broideries.
Messaline, taffeta and satin sets have
self-covered large and small hats,

with tails and fasten beneath satin

the frocles were raraly beautiful.

are used on the sets, including Char

fered ideas which might easily be
duplicated in other fabrics. Miss Olga
Hoffman's stunning afternoon costume

delightful gowns in the play. This

the big Russian turban of the pur-

muff of chinchila fur.
Talking Of Miss Frederick's Frock.
The costumes of Miss Collier and
Miss Pauline Fra1cricks in Samson"
nave served an inspiration to many
style seekers. No smarter costume
has been seen on the stage this year
than the white broadcloth carriage
gown of Miss Fredericks. This ex
quisite gown, attempted by any but
a master hand, would very likely dis
play the proportion of a pillow slip.
Handled as it is, the fabric falls in
straight, lovely lines from the bust to
the floor. no waistine being indicated
and the sole trimming being the rows
of white cloth-covered buttons. With
this marvellous gown is worn a big
white hat, faced with sable and
trimmed with veritable bush of
feathery aigrettes.
In the same play Miss Fredericks
wears an evening gown of satin with
puffed chiffon sleeves and the now
familiar apron" drapery of embroid-
cred chiffon, which is being copied for
dozens of winter dinner frocks.

FOR WOMEN WHO EM6RoIDER.

Punching eyelet holes by guess may
be all very well for the experienced
needleWorker, but when essayed by
the tyro il is apt to result in painfully
irregular rents in the fabric. There
is a new eyelet maker which is pro-
vided with a gauge to regulate the
size of the holes. The stilletto tapers
from sharp point to the thickness Of
a pencil, and by adjusting the gauge
holes of any size may be punched
without effort. These clever little eye

no ACTRESSES set the fashions

Why Women Flock to Society Plays.
That woman studies the stage for

John Drew's airy society dramas, the
plays of Miss Barrymore and Miss
Maxine Elliott are always crowded
with well dressed women seeking ideas
in costuming. The dressmakers them

ingenus conception. They combine the
most extreme features of the present
