DERIES-FIXINGS.

New York, Nov 11.-Paquin, the
celebrated Paris dressmaker, has a
fad for what he calls Little Gowns, "
Pretty all round dresses that do for
almost any occasion. Here we call
them bridge frocks," since they are
just the sort Of thing for an afternoon
card party.
Materials and COlOrs.
Silks, especially the revived ribbed
silks and soft grosgrains are just
right for these dresses; also char
meuse, and all the hosts Of silk and
wool weaves that adapt themselves to
present styles. ColOrings are impor-
tant, and one can choose a vivid tint
that is becoming and have a striking
frock that requires little trimming or
select a neutral color, or black and
by using a bit of vivid contrast in
combined material or trimming have
an equally impressive get-up. If liked
pale tints or white can be selected, the
lines brought out and emphasized by
dash of cerise, or black, or green or
any tint desired that relieves the flat
ness Of pale-toned toilet.
Fringes, Beads and Fur.
Fringes of varying widths and
styles, made up in silk or beads
bead embroideries, or the latest idea,
wool embroideries in Egyptian pat
terms and colors; touches of fur to
border the underskirt, edge a revere,
or bring out the line of a sleeve cuff.
All these together in a single rig
sometimes; or as many OF them as
are required to give character to the
frock.
BrOcades MOdish.
Bits of brOcade make modish trim
mings Often these are used either
for the brim Of a velvet crowned hat,
or the crown of a velyet-brimmed one,
with perhaps a bag to match which
holds all the things that our grand
mothers pockets formerly slowed
away The upholstery counters offer
rich finds of odds and ends that work
in beautifully with present modes of
dress and hat trimming.
A Dinner Dress.
A dinner dress shown recently at
an opening with the name of its Paris
maker attached was, am sure, made
up largely from a damask satin cur
tain, old gold in color. This was
draped In the serpentne style now
so modish, across the front of the
skirt over petticoat of gold satin
yelled in black lace. The brocade fin
tshed in a narrow fish tail train in
the back and was bordered with skunk
fur on one edge The waist of gold
satin and lace had straps of fur at
the shoulder and clusters of roses
formed Of black velvet and gold
tissue
COrkscrew Styles.
The corkscrew style of drapery is
seen in many uses, the most novel
perhaps being in muffs where the fur
Is shaped like long boa, then wound
round the muff ending with the head
at one end, the paws and tail at the
other. A muff of "cross fox" seen at
G. G. Shayne's was made after this
fashion, and was accompanied by a
beautiful scarf in which the animal
skins were draped about the shoul-
ders. A dyed muskrat stole and muff
seen at the same time was trimmed
with itself after new and pretty
fashion. There were cross strappings
OF the fur, used band fashion, that
showed plainly Notwithstanding tho
sameness of the material. This fur
by the way looks exactly like seal to
anyone not an expert and of course
costs much less,
1t is wonderful how attractive and
stylish the medium priced furs look
when made up in their best quality
after thoroughly up-to-date models.
Raccoon and red fox go cheek by
towl' with ermine and sable without
losing a whit of their style.
Long Coats.
Every woman young or old wants
a long fur coat, or one with fur
lining, or fur trimmings If she can
compass its purchase, and as some of
the reliable furs now come at the
cost of good cloth garment and
last much better most people prefer
these
Low Set Hats.
Hats that stay on no matter how
the wind blows are so desirable that
the popularity of the hat that buries
the head Is sure to continue at least
for auto-wear and travelling.
Very little trimming is needed for
