repeats the color of the hat. There
is a fad at present for the one-slde

straight strip of Irish insertion

winter all the hats. no matter o
what size, are set far down on the
head, coming to the tops of the ears
at the side and well over the fore
head in front, the hair being pulled
down about forehead and temples tc
show beneath the hat brim. If tn

a clever knack to adjust vel
smoothly over some of the big ar
fairs one sees everywhere. The vel
is thrown loosely around the ha'
and pinned to the center front of the
brim. Then it is pinned beneath the
hair at the back of the neck, afte
which the ends are drawn up and
neatly fastened at the back of the
brim, no stray ends being allowed t.
hang loose.
Some years ago the fashion wind
veered from the suede glove to the
smooth lace kid glove, and for ?
long time even our evening gloves
have been of the polished kid sort
Now suede is once more in favor ana
glace kid gloves may be picked up
for a third of recent prices. With
the tailored morning suit loose gray
mocha leather gloves are the proper
thing, or the washable chamois gloves
in natural color. Buff-colored gloves
are considered smarter now than pure
white ones, even for ldressy wear, and
many of the dressy evening gowns
are accompanied by long gloves in
the new creamy yellow shade. Gloves
for street wear should be loose in
fit and not too thin. The hand kept
constantly in q muff is very sensitive
to cold and will become chapped and
red in few moments If exposed to
the cold air in a thin kid glove
Hands encased in tight gloves also
chap more easily than when the
glove is loose and comfortable like
mans.
Tan boots are little worn by the
smart dressers this season. The cor
rect walking boot for general sire et
wear is of dull-finished black calf
in either laced or buttoned style, and
these shoes are daintifled by per-
forated band trimmings and heavy
stitching. The very short vamp is
now left exclusively to the chorus
girls. The very smart boot has O
moderately short toe with smart
swing under the ball of the foot
graceful instep arch and Cuban
heel not too high. For dress wear
in the afternoon one may match ones
costume with all manner of dainty
boots and slippers in suede, bronze
velvet and patent leather. For ev-
enlng the chic slipper is of gold
leather, and these little gold slippers
are worn with cobwebby silk hose to
match and look charming.
Large handbags are now out Of
style. The newest are small, and
made OF undressed kid.
