Fads for Women.

Wells edged with marabou are no longer
the latest idea, for fur is now used as a
border on some Of the newest importa-
tons.
OF course only the narrowest fur edg-
ings are seen, and the wells they trim are
heavy and fairly coarse in mesh. usually
the Russian nets in a fancy weave, or
rather a combination of Russian net with
hairline Tuxedo.
The tiny dots that figure the hairlines
form a pretty contrast to the larger
square dots forming the Russian mesh.
These wells are, of course, expensive,
but if a woman possesses a narrow fur
edging the net sold by the yard will not
be costly, and by combining tina two a
new style veil can be made for COMPARE
lively small cost.
The new bar pins are longer and broad
er and have uSurped the place of the
small bar pins In pairs that have been
so much used. They are more often seen
in silver, with the center formed Of a
semi-precious stone, but many lovely ones
are done in enamel and the barroque
pearls.
Furs. like everything else in the new
fashions, are combined not only with
each other, but with silk and velvet as
we'll. Just as the softest silk and cloth
are combined in dresses. so is a smooth
fur such as ermine, combined with a
long haired one, such as fox or bear.
Street skirts and day dresses are still
worn several inches from the ground
In the chic semi-princess dresses the
new models maintain the slender sill
houette and the MISUNDERSTANDING
idea prevails.
The metal and crystal beads are used
a great deal, especially with the metal
GAUGES and the effect is very splendid
and magnificent.
Delicately colored buttons in soft blues,
will be used on silks and chiffons, as
we'll as crystal ball buttons.
In the new satins and crepes many of
the delicate, intricate designs of the old
India shaWls are given In contrasting
tones by the weave of the material
Many black velvet dresses are trimmed
with three different kinds of lace. Gold
and silver laces are frequently combined
on satin Of delicate colorings.
The combination Of two materials still
is used by the majority of modistes.
With the black and white striped velvets

| II YOU have narrow bands of fur,
why not edge the lace bow for your even
| ing hat.
| Blue is tremendously popular in all its
shades, but the smartest is the vivid
| canard blue.
A butterfly form Of satin, or velvet, OF
Of both, is placed on many velvet tur-
bans.
II For white gown comes the cerise
satin gird1e, with its cut and shaped
flower rosetfe.
Il ent styles is the vogue for vivid, vigor-
Gus colors.
| Paris is quite enthusiastic over the vel
vet bags. and America promises to take
| up the fashion.
Afternoon gowns are neither long nor
| short, and they are An even length all
| tho way around.
Persian effects have made their ap-
pearance in the form Of colored chenille
| dots in black veilings.
In evening gowns the sleeves are very
short indeed, and some dresses are prac-
tically sleeveless.
The kimono sleeve has been so gem
orally adopted that ii is practically the
only sleeve of the year.
A new note in trimming, which is ex-
ceedingly simple and Yet giving an ORR
entail tone Of color to the clothes. is
the use Of curious old disks ana old
gold and silver ornaments. :
