FASHIONS AND FADS

Separate wraps for the traveller are
an important feature. They arc in
dark colors, and some have collars
and cuffs Of bright ratine.
In spite OF many new popular mar
terials, the gowns Of soft satin and OF
crepe meteor still hold their own for
elegance and beauty.
A very fashionable new scarf Is
shown in satin material trimmed with
three rows of marabout set close to-
gether in the border.
Many wedding toilettes will display
a mingling of soft satin velvet hrocade
and plain velvet, together with lovely
laces and hlmy chiifons.
A frock is hardly considered finish
ed without a cluster of artificial how-
ers at the waist or the shoulder to
catch up a fiounce on the skirt.
The end of the veiled blouse has
not yet been reached and its Ions
period of popularity will doubtless be
continued through the winter at least.
The waist-line is only slightly
shortened, instead Of really high. Il
is generally finished off by piping OF
some material other than the dress.
This season no formal costume is
made Of one material. Satin and
moire together, or either Of these ma
terials with velvet, are happy combi-
nations.
Fur coats have now a rival in the
smart coats Of heavy plush. These
new coats are usually trimmed with
fur of a brownish tone, and are very
elegant.
Pleatings of net are edged with lace
] h,,.r.r Oriental kynaTpg t1l'
| fine Valenciennes. Sometimes a
pleated frin will be edged with two
or three other frills of pleated lace.
Jabots or plisses are extremely wide
and long. In the majority of cases
they extend to the waist line ana over
as far as the shoulder. The shape
is generally broader at the top than
at the bottom.
French women are enthusiastic over
the fad of using kid trimmings on
their outdoor costumes. The Kid mus'
be embroidered. Soft white or very
light-colored kid is used. and is fash
! ioned into belts. collars, Guns and
rever bands.
The slender silhouette still holds It's
own amid all rumors OF fuller sklrts
and trimmed draperies. Narrow skifls
are nearly, IL not quite, as narrow at
ever. especially for street wear, what
ever the fashion artists may design
for rs later in the season.
AS fashion has indorsed most eNers

furs of good quality will be in style
The sash is the all-important &C
cessory lust now. Many Of the new
models, being so simple. are relieves
from the commonplace by sash .
beautiful materials with colors com
bined, or a sash of a very ehectN'
shade to tighten up the dress.
One sided effects still hold sway u
the realm of neckwesr. A central strl
Of lace. tucked material or embroid
ery is fanked on one, side by an I'M
mense frill. Beading. eyelet emhroid
erv. lace heavy and fine may be use'

novelties
Most OF the fur coats this ssasoi
are. fashioned with straight, graceful
lines and rounded at the front. Som
are slashed at the side-not for beaus,
but to follow fashions latest whim
Their sleeves are generally long, an
close-fitting, and finished without Tn
gathers at the top like those Of
mans coat.
