CHANGING STYLES.
Pointers to the Women on What to
Wear and How to Wear It.

Tunics are in all lengths. The knee
depth form or longer, however, is
most effective. The strong new note
in tunics is the short tunic with the
high waist line. They are made Of
beaded tulle, real lace, and chiffon.
tucked. The short tunics are most diff
ficult to wear successfully and should
generally be avoided by the woman
who is trying to make the most of the
matter of dress.
The bodices, which accompany most
of the informal frocks, are of various
types. Some of them have fichus, 9TH
ers deep neck frills falling from the
round collar in Pierrot fashion, while
others show the high guimpe.
In debutante's frocks, the skirts are
full showing undergraduates, narrow
and quite elaborately trimmed with old
fashioned quillings garlands or flow
ers, rosettes, bands and embroidery.
Others are in tunic style, with all the
trimming on the over dress, and the
petticoats are exceedingly narrow.
The blouse for tailored suits seems
to play a great part in the wardrobe of
the fashionable woman of today, no
matter what kind of jacket is worn,
when it is removed a dainty, pretty
corsage or blouse must show itself.
They are made of a transparent
guimpe over some other material, in
color. Usually of chiffon over lace,
or figured net, in which runs a silver
or gold thread. The transparent
guimpe is the exact shade of the suit,
and often has embroidery or soutache
worked in some pretty design.
The sleeves are kimona shape. This
is the style for nearly all blouses,
and the blouse opens in the back.
Many women have one foundation
with several slips of colored mousse
line to slip over it, the effect is differ
ent blouse every time.
A great deal of lace is being put on
evening robes. Venetian, Milan and
rose point-all limitations, If one does
not care to pay handful of money,
and the limitations are almost as beau
tiful as the real lace. These laces are
threaded so with silver or gold that
the effect is like jeweled work.
Hats are becoming more worthy Of
admiration. Those of black velvet are
extremely chic and especially the lit
tie toques composed of the velvet gath
cred or in uneven folds. With either,
white plumes or aigrettes are hand
some; but the grand chic is to trim the
big, black velvet hat with waving black
plumes. Women, who can afford 1t.
invest in a sweeping black willow
plume, putting it on the hat so the
spirals trail gracefully over the back.
Such plumes start at $50, so the wo-
man of ordinary means, must either
invest in a smaller one and use some
other trimming or change the trim
ming altogether.
A color that is much used in millin-
cry is called lapis laZuli or a dull gray
blue. To be modish, this color must be
so blue it is almost black. 1t is also
sometimes called raven blue" but all
the light shades are avoided.
A new hat pin, which is very much
admired is made in the shape of a
queens lace flower head, with the tiny
red blossom at the center of the head,
glittering ruby. The head Is stud

Another one has a big head which
opens and discloses a very small
powder puff vanity outfit in minia-
ture.
In every way possible couturiers and
milliners are adopting gold for gar
nishment in winter garments. The
blouses touched with gold and silver
are the most attractive things seen for
long time, especially if only a sug-
gestion is employed.
A navy blue blouse of mousseline
over white mousseline had grapes en-
broidered in the same tone as the
mousseline and the centers only of
grapes dotted with gold, tiny beads
being employed. The blouse was love-
ly and distinguished, fit to wear not
only with a serge tailored suit, but
also with a satin tailorr made.
Gold has been adopted for use with
furs also, a large muff seen recently
had in it's folds, roses and stems of
gold. AS the muff was quite large,
the decoration shone out splendidly.
Silk crepe is made prettily into even
ing frocks. In black touched up with
little gold or silver, it makes some
of the prettiest new gowns. Young girls
are wearing it and if made on youthful
lines is not in the least too sober.
Nets both rlain and beaded are used
extensively.
There is continued favor for the XII
mono sleeve, both for dresses and al
SO for jackets.
Chiffon in yellow tones, changing
from deepest gold to buttercup yellow,
are extremely pretty.
Wide bands of satin are much used
as a trimming on frocks of chiffon,
serge, and in fact almost every mate
rial.
Many guimpes have a hemstitched
finish at the collar top, with a band
of black satin or velvet above the col
lar.
Suit coats are short; separate coats
are long.
A touch of purple in nearly every
toilet is a fad of the season.
Maline is used to trim the winter
hats of silk and satin.
Wool embroidery is the newest trim
ming for afternoon gowns.
Chamois is seen as the facing of
many large hats.
Shaggy goods are the order of the
day for out door wraps.
Draped effects are on all skirts for
all occasions.
White beads are a feature of the
seasons afternoon and evening toilets.
Sometimes gold and silver beads are
