Is in itself a strong recommendation. It is, however, more of a co1d-weather garment, its very looseness giving warmth and the trimmings of leather adding not little, both in appearance and in actuality, to its coziness. Leather, by the way, is extensively used for trim ming wraps designed for long tours, as it is more durable and shows soil and wear less than any other material, as it can easily be freshened. Add to this its lovely soft coloring and suppleness and its permanent utility is established for trimming coats and hats, as well as for gloves and shoes. These some won1- en are having made to match. first selecting one or two skins, according to size, and supplying mi1liner, tailor, great saving of expense and also insur- ing an exact match of quality and color Leather Cuffs and Collar
 The cuffs and collar in the model I have been describing are of deep, al most black, red, with mounting, or at least simulated mounting, of old wicker-colored taffeta silk, laid in two mllliner's folds, one on either side of similar fold of dark-green velvet of the same shade as the coat, as also are the buttons of Russian hard enamel
 The sleeve stimulates the lines of the new sleeves, which are cut in one with the coat and give looses graceful line to the shoulders
 The hat is of dark glossy red coarse sstraw, bound with soft folds of wide dark moss-green satin ribbon This also forms the flat rosettes at the sides. They are caught in the center with knotted bit of silk of the same shade as that which trims the edge of the collar.
 Of rather good lines is the Orienta1ly draped headgear of soft pliable straw. This is the most ultra novelty of the seasons importations from Paris. It sets off ones entire face to good ad- vantage, framing 1t in such way as to form a backgroan rather than cover ing for the head It is built of coffee colored straw, hand-sewn and faced with figured French cretonne, of cream-col- ored background that goes in beautifully with the low tones of the skin and sets off the clusters of old-rose and tan co1ored flowers interspersed with green leaves of various shades and tiny touches of blue and pink The chiffon veil is also of cream color with wide hem and bordersof little blocks embroidered in a deeper shade of cream It is long and wide and woin in such way as to remind one of the yelled beauties of far eastern countries.
 The scarf-Hood
 Bewitcf1ing and delightfully."- simple is little hood, ,or rather scarf, formed into a hood. It seems to be constructed of long straight piece of dull-blue cl1if- ion cloth four, yards in length. It is as though placed over. the head to tie under the chin, but instead is really gathered and fastened to little con cealed foundation, the size of quarter, placed just below the ear, the ends again flowing loose like long scarf. About the face, to lend it an appearance of being a really serious head.dress, is stitched band of a harmonizing shade of blue velvet It is stitched in black and ends at the tied-in portion under the ear. To finish this edge and give definite shape is thick cord formed of casing of wedgewood-blue chiffon and of small lead pencil This binds the edge and is coiled around and around into cabachon placed. just below the ears, thus seeming to hold the. tied-in scarf in place. Altogether, this. gives the outline, excepting for the scarf ends, of the bonnet that Van Dyck painted on his Dutch baby.
