CHANGING STYLES.
Pointers to the Women on What to
Wear and How to Wear It.

Wear and How TO wear u.
New suggestions in clothes are con-
tinually cropping out, and theories OF
how best to wear the new clothes, are
being met with the newer theories as
to what Paris will do at the first OF
next year 1t is not possible to under
stand Just why those who project these
last theories believe in them. If they
expect a revolution of things, there
was revolution enough the first of this
season, about two months ago, to sat-
isfy the most tumultuous soul.
Paris executed an about-faced IN
clothes last summer while our backs
were turned. Americans will not for
give their buyers soon, for the affair
of the plated skirt and long coat The
American woman considers the vast
amount Of money she spends on clothes
each year, entities her to foreknowl-
edge on this subject. On account OF
American buyers fault, the American
woman has been compelled to have her
late spring suit cut up and made over
or has had to discard it entirely, since
September.
Some argue that Paris will be tired
of the tight skirt and short jacket by
the first of the year and will go into the
plated skirt and Eton jacket then.
1t will be much wiser for us to go
ahead and have our winter clothes
made in the prevailing styles. If we
lend ourselves to uncertainty every
time we buy a garment, we will have
a most unhappy time Of it, AS the fu-
ture is so indefinite why not drift with
the present and be as fashionable as
possible?
Every one, must know by this time,
that the materials for street borrow
softness from those of the evening.
Nothing is hard. stiff or unyielding. II
is a season of drapery and suppleness.
While this is true Of street clothes, 1t
is more so of evening gowns. The lat
ter are made of the most filmy and
gauzy fabrics that can be woven.
Velvet is the fashion for ball gowns,
but not the velvet of other days. 1t
has been reduced to a mere wisp OF
simmer and sheen. 1t is rival to
chiffon and is often mingled with it.
Satin plays an important part in all
the gowns for winter, no matter Tor
what purpose they are intended. 1t Is
used for the house and for the new
Pierrot models that are loose and sup
pie, with a row of satin buttons from
the chin to the ankle.
Fur is as popular as satin and trims
everything from a negligee to pail
gown. 1t is even put on the short satin
petticoat that is now worn under a
narrow outer skirt, slashed up the left
side.
The shape of the hat and the occa-
sion for which the veil is needed, de-
eide it's manner of draping. The wells
that are put on perfectly loose and that
flow all around are especially popular,
but there are many inventions with
women who prefer other methods.
More black and white wells than any
thing else are being used. Hats are
not matched in color with them as for
merly.
The newest veil just now to attract
the attention of pretty faces, is one Of
flesh pink color spotted with black. A
coarse mesh black veil lined with white
maline is useful for the winter, when
the wind is blowing. 1t is extremely
modish and becoming.
A very practical winter veil is one
made of chiffon cloth, bordered all
round or on three sides with marabou.
These come in all colors, and the mar
abou is in contrasting color or matches
the veil, either way is very stylish.
Among the new automobile wells, is
one ready to put on and fasten in
twinkling. 1t is made Of chiffon cloth
shirred across the front to shape it,
run with an elastic, and finished
with a button and loop at opposite ends
of the shrring. This veil is put on
from the back forward and the button
and loop fasten the veil around the
neck and over the loose portion, so the
wind has no chance with it.
The cob-web veil launched about a
year ago is still a distinct favorite.
The scroll patterned veil while ultra
smart, needs the most careful handling
or they give the effect of full beard.
Something entirely new in brooches
are the ones made of cut steel or rhine
