FASHION AND FADS
BY Mrs. Maud E. clnsy.

On evening costumes the short puff. |
band or draped sleeves are seldom
seen since the peasant sleeve arrived
and took us by storm.
High-cut skirts are sometimes fin
ished with large cords as a girdle,
which are lnotted on the left front
and fall low over the skirt.
Filigree and ancient Bohemian or
naments are now being worn, and the
barbaric Russian designs occupy a
conspicuous place I'm the jewel case.
A very exclusive and luxurious lit
tie handbag is OF blue grosgrain saf-
fan leather, with a frame of imita-
tion ivory and lining Of blue moire.
You make no mistake in using vel
vet pile fabrics. fur, braids. smaller
hats, closer and shorter skirts, an
Empire girdle and the peasant waists.
Tulle bows for the neck with
smalled bow of beads In the centre
are a slightly new variation of the
Psyche bow 30 popular summer a
year ago
The princess slip Of satin beneath
transparent draperies has retired IN
favor Of the circular skirt, which
gives the close 1T without a number
Of seams.
/ Coats and wraps of tweed, ratine
and other rough and semi-fashionable
fabrics have taken the fashionable
world by storm for motoring and in
element wear.
Elbow length sleeves are the rule
in the new waists, but I'm many in
stances they are extended TO three
quarter length by the addition Of a
lace cuff which matches the yoke.
White cloth trimmed with skunk
| fur is being shown in coats for little
girls. Black satin coats, heavily wad-
ded. having cravats Of ermine, are
sold for the older children.
All the tails must be taken from
your ermine. If you notice the very
latest importations you will find that
no black lines mar the smooth sur
face OF an ermine stole or muff.
Fur appears on evening gowns OF
any color and material as white chif-
fon, Persian ditto, beaded net, lace
all-over. satin, velvet cloth wool mix
lures. voile. wool-black satin, crepe,
etc.
Jabots for winter are longer. in
most cases; stocks show the straight
cut" at the top ana collars are all
widths from the little turnover tathe
style which may be called cape.
Coiffures are now arranged to raise
the hat. The hair is piled on the
top of the head in a bunch of tiny
curls attached to a piece Of net. which
is pinned over the coil of part OF
ones own hair.
To wear with plain or embroidered
linen collars or with fancy lace stocks
there are many pretty iabot bows
now offered. The Persian note is
strong In these bows, being used as
pipings, borders, etc.
Tapestry-covered hats, the tapestry

on a light ground stretched tightly
over the frame, come in wide picture

used, are much enhanced by silve
