is in itself strong recommendation.
1t is, however, more of cold-weather
garment, its very looseness giving
warmth and the trimmings OF leather
adding not a little, both in appearance
and IN actually, to its eoziness. Leather,
by the way, is extensively used for trim
ming wraps designed for long tours, as
It IS more durable and shows soil and
wear less than any other material, as it
can easily be freshened Add to this
its lovely soft coloring and suppleness
and its permanent utility is established
for trimming coats and hats, as well as
for gloves and shoes. These some wom-
en- are having made to match, first
selecting one or two skins, according
TO size, and supplying milliner, tailor,
glove and bOot-maker. This effects a
great saving of expense and also insur-
ing an exact match of quality and color.
Leather Cuffs and Collar
The cuffs and collar IN the model I
have been describing are of deep, al
most black, red, with mounting, or at
least a simulated mounting, of old
wicker-colored taffeta silk. laid in two
milliner's folds, one on either side OF a
similar fold OF dark-green velvet of the
same shade as the coat, as also are the
buttons of Russian hard enamel.
The sleeve Stimulates the lines of the
new sleeves, which are cut IN one with
the coat and give loose, graceful line
to the shoulders.
The hat is Of dark glossy red coarse
straw, bound with soft folds of wide
dark moss-green satin ribbon. This also
forms the fiat rosetteS at the sides. Thev
are caught IN the center with a knotted
bit of silk of the same shade as that
which trims the edge of the collar.
OF rather good lines is the Orientally
draped headgear of soft pliable straw
This IS the most ultra" novelty of the
seasons inportations from Paris II
sets off ones entire face to good ad-
vantage, framing it IN such way as 10
form background, rather than a cover
ing for the head It is built OF coffee
colored straw, hand-sewn and faced with
figured French cretonne, of a cream-col-
ored background that goes in beautifully
with the low tones of the skin and sets
off the clusters of old-rose and tan
colored flowers interspersed with green
leaves of various shades and tiny touches
of blue and pink The chiffon veil is
also of cream color with d wide hem
and border of little blocks embroidered
in a deeper shade of cream II is long
and wide and worn IN such a way as
to remind one of the yelled beauties OF
far eastern countries.
The Scarf-Hood
BewitcIing and delightfully."- simple is
little hood, or rather scarf. formed into
hood 1t seems to be constructed of
long straight piece of dull-blue chit
fon cloth four yards in length. 1t is
as though placed over the head to tie
under the chin, but instead is really
gathered and fastened to a little con-
cealed foundation, the size of a quarter,
placed just below the ear, the ends again
flowing loose like long scarf About
| the face, to lend it an appearance OF
being a really serious head-dress, is a
stitched band of a harmonizing shade
of blue velvet 1t IS stitched in black
and eads at the tied-in portion under the
ear To finish this edge and give a
| definite shape is a thick cord formed of
casing OF wedgewood-blue chiffon and
shirred over a gold cord about the size
of a small lead pencil This binds the
edge and is coiled around and around
into a cabachon placed just below the
ears. thus seeming to hold the tied-in
! scarf in place. Altogether, this gives
{ the outline, excepting for the scarf ends,
! of the bonnet that Van Dyck painted on
his Dutch baby.
