Wear and How to Wear It.

rage this winter. 1t appears upon
street costumes, dinner frocks and
evening frocks.
whether in silk, metallic thread, or
beads. Bands, of all widths, so de-
signed that they may be taken apart,
and separated into motifs are shown in
most exquisite colors, rich. but dull
oriental tones, dull silver and gold
predOmnating, though modish color
ings are also represented.
Buttons which are very much in ia
vor this season are extremely beauti-
full in color and design. Handsome, big
buttons are made of crocheted metallic
thread in gold and silver, sometimes
used over. contrasting color. Cut steel
figures prominently in both buttons
and buckles.
Gray will he worn this winter, chiefly
in cloud shades, green in all tones is
liked, blue holds its own. A shade
called Bacchus, between a rose and a
red is truly lovely without being spec
tacular and has been brought out in
all the handsome crepes, satins bro
cades and velvets.
The surplice bodice arrangement is
much used. Embroidered collars Of
finest muslin. deep and long enough to
have been brought out to use on tho
surplce bodice.
The skirt problem is interesting and
it is curious to see the different atti-
tudes of various importers toward it.
All skirts are narrow. The outer ma
terial may be fulled, but it Is weighed
down in some way and falls over a
narrow slip. The sleeve, which with the
skirt reflects the changing mode more
quickly than any other part of frock,
is but little changed. 1t is usually cut
in one with the bodice, after the fash
ion familiar in the spring and summer,
and falls free, ending well above the ell
bow, or just at the elbow, and showing
closer undersleeve or cuff.
The tailored coat and skirt are ex-
tremely good looking, when the skirt is
not too narrow. This is to be tweed
season, but with the tweeds must be
ranked all the soft, rough, Scotch
woollens.
Innumerable versions Of chiffon over
Persian or fiowered silk are presented
and good effects are obtained this way,
especially in the simpler blouses
White and black chiffons are combined
in some chic French blouses, made with
handsome lace under the chiffon veil
ing.
The very deep band of contrasting
tains it's vogue, and in the winter
models, velvet is much used for this
band, and fur often borders the upper
edge of this band.
Striped stuffs in black and white
figure prominently among woollens,
silks and velvets, and where they are
cleverly handled give excellent results.
Bead dog collars in varying degrees
of beauty and artistic merit are pro-
vided for wear with Dutch neck
frocks and if cleverly chosen may be
admirable costume accessories.
Black net sprnkled with pearl dew
drops is newer than the popular crys-
tai dotted black net and subscribes to
the popular fad for black and white.
The corded silks are making a bid
for favor in connection with handsome
street suits. The new taffeta has it's
advocates, but satin still holds its own
as the favorite silk for street wear.
One of the most popular waists in
Paris, is made of finest linen or lawn,
and is quite without trimming, except
for innumerable tucks and is worn
with a black cravat. This blouse Is
considered more ch, with the tailored
suit than the more elaborate creations.
The sleeves of such models are all long,
indeed, the smartest of the French
lingerie blouses, intended for street
wear, all have long sleeves.
Touches of colored embroidery are
much used to bring the lingerie blouse
into harmony with the suit.
Simple tailored blouses of linen, ba-
tiste or other sheer cotton or linen ma
terial, with white ground striped in
color, are much liked for wear, with
tailored suits. They are often finished
with fine white frills, collar and cuffs,
which may or may not have a narrow
borders of some simple embroidery in
the color of the stripe.
Open work of the English eyelet or
Madeira sort is the smartest thing in
embroidery for the blouse, as for the
tub frock, and delightful lingerie
adorned with such embroidery, are
shown wherever good looking blouses
abound
If there is any truth in the saying
that most men are made by their coats,
then it is doubly true that every wo
man may be made by her hat.
For morning there are stiff little
hats. with high, almost pointed crowns.
They are made of satin, the crowns
showing folds put on stiffly or of vel
vet, which is done in clusters Of cord
ing in place of folds, but the brims are
plain and the hat itself is lit
tie trimmed.
Then there is the cossack hat, a huge
turban, which may be made
of fur, beaver or velvet. The crowns
of these are also high and slightly |
pointed, but are soft enough 10 be
crushed down under a veil and still
retain their shapeliness. Unlike the
turban of last season, the brims Of
these turn we'll away from the crown
and curve out giving the effect of |
greater size than they really are. The
of these vary, some are sim
pie and plain as possible, having only |
a knot of velvet, festoons Of cords with |
hanging tassels or a single ornament |
Of passementeric at one side. Others |
have twists of shaded velvet with jew
eled pins, or make a display of flowers |
in rich Colors. |
