FASHION AND FADS
BY Mrs. Maud E. cilIsy.

The rage for Persian and Paisley
effects has now found It's way to bed
room slippers. which are now made in
Persian cashmere.
Ratine is growing rapidly. and is
one Of the newest fabrics brought out
this season. Ii has somewhat the
appearance of Turkish tcweling.
There are corsages and tunics of
beaded nets-white beaded In crystal
and silver; black beaded in Jet, gold.
silver or moonlight blue beads.
The heavy textures of this winter
are best trimmed with braid and fur
and the Hercules and giant braids
of silk, soft and pliable, are most
used.
White kid gloves are heavily stitch
ed in black, finished at the wrist
with a tiny band of black kid and
fastened with one large button of
black cut jet.
Brocades and damask silks are
again making a most determined ef-
fort to win a place in the feminine
world of fashion. Some. of them are
really lovely.
Patent leather is still popular for
children. Shepherds checks, stripes
and coarse basket weaves are the ma
terials most favored for the school
frocks
The flowers worn for garnitures are
more exquisite than ever before.
There are roses Of dull silver or gold,
with centres of brilliant colors, which
are really works Of art.
Short black kid gloves are stitched
with white silk and finished at the
wrist with band Of tiny white kid.
The glove is fastened with one rather
large white pearl button.
There is vogue of lining coats
and jackets with plain or ring dotted
satins or soft silks IN a contrasting
shade. Flowered or brocaded silks
are not in favor this season for lin
ings.

daughter of the family as we'll as for
the older sisters and mothers, are a
favorite this season. These hats are
to be found in many and attractive
shapes.
Many shawl collars of fur.fsatin or
velvet--any material in fact--are cut
sailor fashion in the back. the square
sailor collar being preferred to the
curved effect
Velvet and velveteen are both much
i'm evidence. The soft chiffon velvets
drape ideally and women seem to ap-
preciate how generally becoming IS
the gown of velvet combined with
chiffon.
The new jackets are quite short
usually semi-ftting and double-breat.
ed. and are generally cut square
across at the bottom. Some Of then
are elaborately trimmed with wide
and narrow fancy braids.
Quite a number of coat and skir
street frocks are of good quality vel
veteen-some bordered with a narroN
band of fur-others trimmed with sill
braids, while others are devoid {
