the sleeves. They are cut in the prevail
ing long, straight fashion, without tucks,
but from point just below the elbow to
the wrist narrow bands of the cloth spaced
half their width apart are stitched on and
crochet buttons ornament the centre of
each band. There are more straps cross
ing the back above the waist line and
coming forward under the arms to termi-
nate at the sides. This gown fastens
down the left side under vertical bands
OF the material. Such a gown could be
combined with q coat of the same cloth
and the costume be made a Serviceable
three piece one. 1t is not too much
trimmed to be worn under a fur coat.
Later in the season it could be accompa-
MED by a fur scarf of rather ample
proportions. The under fittings worn
with this seasons style of garments are
Tar warmer than they used to be, so that
women can dispense with long, heavy
coats on moderate days without running
the risk of catching cold.
For cloth afternoon gown this model
would make up particularly well, and in
some OF the silk and wool materials it
would look simple yet distinctly modish.
Other ways of ornamenting the revers
could be planned, but one should keen

Net and Cloth Waists.

n EFT and cloth waists solve for a large
IN number Of women the problem of
the tailored suits separate waist, for
while this season one piece gowns have
largely taken the place of the suits with
separate waists, there is still need for the
suit and separate waist costume for
many occasions when it alone is conven-
lent and suitable. The possibility of
making the same gown serve two pur-
poses-that> of the rather plain tailored
costume and also of the rather dressy
afternoon costume-is too important to
many women to be disregarded, and the
separate waist alone makes this possible.
OF course, under such conditions the
skirt of the costume must be long and the
coat not too plain.
The main idea which is now considered
in relation to the separate waist is that
it shall be made of such materials and
along such lines as will make it seem
part of the costume and will make the
observer a little uncertain as to whether
it is in fact a separate waist and skirt or
a one piece gown. The colors are there
fore exactly those of the costume and the
model is chosen to carry out the design of
the entire gown.
Among materials used for this purpose

rows of stitching done in series Of
scallOps. These start at the cape and
finish little more than half way down
the coat. Fewer buttons than are ordi-
narily used on fashionable garments dec
crate this coat. In fact, there are ex-
actly two on each side, these being of
silk drawn over round wooden moulds
with some embroidery done in black and
colOrs to give a relieving touch to the
otherwise sombre costume.
The Napoleon collar is of embroidered
silk. Instead of leaving the space be-
tween the ends of the straight standing
collar bare or fastening them together
with a silk tie the lace stock and guimpe
of the waist are allowed to show, the
white providing pleasing effect with
the dark cloth and velvet surrounding it.
Sometimes this space is covered with a
jewelled buckle or clasp. but that is bet
ter style for dressier coats.

net continues to be the most popular, as
it is light and comfortable for wear in
the Overheated houses and combines well
with cloth. satin or braid. the favorite
trimming materials for such waists. The
net is selected to match the costume or
dyed to match it, and the cloth trimming
is the same material as is used in the
chemisette or collar is of cream lace, but
usually this lace is also dyed to match
the waist

trimming will sometimes fail to do. In
figure 4 is shown a costume which is
trimmed most effectively with braid. The
quantity of braiding used on this gown
is very moderate, but the elegance of the
design and the appropriateness of its
placing on the costume make as admirable
an effect as if a much larger quantity Of
braid were used.
The costume shown is of blue cloth.
with braiding in black, black satin lapels
and crushed girdle Of black satin. The
chemisette inside the lapels is not in real
ity separate from the bodice, but is made
to look as if it were by the arrangement
of the lapels or collars of satin. This lit
tie chemisette is braided in almost effec-
tive fashion on the cloth of the costume.
The model is also shown with this chemi-
settle made of net of the same color as
the costume and braided in the same
fashion.

cul still to be noticed sealskin has never
been classed with the long haired furs.
but the imitation sealskin is, generally
speaking, longer than the real, and it is
probably for that reason this year that
the fashionable fur toques and turbans
include sealskin. They are many distinct
varieties in these hats, the round. large
shapes having been until now the smart
est, but just within a short time have APP
peared larger, more irregular shapes in
fur that have met with instant approval.
They also are enlivened by the big curled
feathers, the we'll known Mephistopheles
feathers, the height of which reaches be-
yond the bounds of reason in many in

and are worn, as are the fur turbans, with
skating and walking costumes, but they
are really not so suitable. Then there
ARE the 'fascinatingly becoming soft
shaped hats in these same shapes but
made of cloth or velvet or a combination
of both these materials Embroidered
velvet combined with plain velvet or with
cloth is extremely effective, while for
levening the velvet teques and turbans

favor There is no style of hat so gen
orally becoming as the turban nor one

however, to be avoided, for the same lines
that are becoming and soft when shaped
Iartistically with material of becoming

hard if left to themselves in a too distinct
outline. A stiff brim covered with velvet
is, for instance, too hard and unbecoming.
while the same brim covered with velvet

toques are always popular, as of neces-
sity they give the soft outline.

same lines in general are those of this
model--perfectly plain and tight fitting
in fact, but with braided cuff and the
braiding on the upper part of the sleeves
connected by row of buttons down the
outside of. the sleeve. The woman with
narrow shoulders and thin arms will find
that the curse of the plain, tight sleeve
is quite taken off by this braiding of the
upper part of the sleeve, which adds
much to the apparent breadth of the
shoulder without for moment destroy
ing the much desired fiat. close fitting
look beloved of the present style.
For the woman whose arms are unat-
tractively oyerplump the braiding may
also be put to use. A vertical arrange

found of great help in creating an illu-
