The girl bit her lips, but a ripply
iaugh escaped. The two men were

with eyes now wide, now soft. and al.

The lieutenant had turned so swiftly

Womankind is achieving new
walk-or rather the new walk has
been thrust upon her by the require
ments of the present coat styles. All
the fashionable evening coats are
drawn in at the bottom of the back
and slope upward loosely at the front
This necessitates a measured rather
mincing step which, with slight
bend of the body forward under the
weight of the big fur collars, and be-
cause of the necessity of lifting the
skirts from the pavement or steps,
produces a pretty, graceful and very
'eminine attitude, quite different from

ACCESSORIES MADE IN BLACK

From year to year our ideas OF

genious make-shifts in dress had
number of yokes of lace or silk which
were put on or taken Off as variops
occasions demanded, the one founda-
ton waist being thus frequently trans

shapes. Then there was the day OF
pretty fichus and various ties and all
the other little dainty belongings
which gave touch of newness to
gown.
This season black dress accessories
are among the most fashionable, ard

These satin dress accessories are not
always used as makeshifts, but with
their pipings of Persian silk, or trim

of color to the garment which makes
it exceedingly stylish. Black satin en-
