PRETTY FORM OF EMBROIDERY
Bulgarian Work Is Extremely Popular
for the Furnishings Of the
Ordinary Bedroom.

Bulgarian embroidery on linen is
now very popular for she small fur
nishings OF bedrooms Of a certain
style. This sort of decoration is not
suitable for an excessively dainty pink
and white or all white apartment, for
the colors employed are vivid and the
designs striking. Added TO this. the
embroidery is at its best on rather
heavy linen. a richer or more delicate
fabric not making nearly SO attractive
a background. There are many girls.
especially those away at school. who
have their rooms furnished in a
fashion which requires some touches
Of bright color. and for these the Bull

LONG COATS A

THE DRESSIEST COME IN VEL
VET WITH SATIN FACINGS AND
SAILOR COLLAR.

Paris, Dec. 1.-THE long, narrow
coats of black, blackIDrown plush

of the same are the most stunning
things seen in Paris for ages. Some
of the coats have finishes of fur, bur

a wrap appear heavy and rather
dowdy. The very dressy velvet coats
are faced with white satin and have
a wide sailor collar of satin and
a loose rever down the front This
is white.
Some very fancy plush and vel
vet coats are seen. They are finished
with tassels, balls and spassemente-
rie, but all this garnish rather cheap

very simplest and most severe air
becomes the long vestment, and if
one begins to touch up and trim
the collar, sleeves or pockets all

quaint they are, and the more sim
pie the better. The best are fash

face in imitation fur, but others
are finished with a dark band of
velvet or plush with pearl incrusta-
tions, with a sample hem finish are
the daintiest things in scarfs seen
for a long time. While the whites
are lovely, these in blue, yellow and
rose are charming.
The same shape is the most pop
ular one for motor wear. Made of
fur, tied with ribbons of the same
color as the fur and with a floating
veil, the costume for the machine
is not only practical but picturesque
and fascinating. At the sides ogf
such a little bonnet violets make
a pretty trimming.
The outside garments that fash
ionables are wearing this winter
are so coquettish and dressy that
they almost compensate for the plain
unadorned gowns that the styles call
for. The long, vohminous coat that
reaches to the feet, the natty little
scarf of fur or velvet that is thrown
over the shoulder, the white lining
of either of the wraps, all these
tend to tighten the picture and make
it more attractive.
