which give the clinging effect demand
ed by modern fashions.
To wear with these princess or
semi-princess dresses many women
now have handsome long coats made
OF tho same material, which serve
both as carriage cloaks and evening
wraps. What coat could be handsomer
TO wear with the costume shown In
Fig ], than a long, graceful wrap Of
the same soft velvet, trimmed, like the
dress, with bands of ermine, and lined
throughout with white satin2 A
chic example of this type of coat has
the right front brought well across
and fastened low on the left side With
two large buttons. This gives "a
straight line which apparently mar
rows toward the bottom In accord
with the liking for slender effects.
The lavish use of velvet and fur
this winter gives a look Of indescrib-
able richness TO the dresses and coats.

NEW YORK. Dec. 50-Like the
Frenchman who gave as his excuse
for committing suicide that he "was
too tired Of dressing and undressing,
writer's of fashion are oppressed at
this midseason by the constant reiter-
alton of one or two preponderant
facts-the craze for black and white
effects, aud the popularity of taffetas
No really new ideas arc as yet ap-
pearing on the horizon. In fact an
almost unnatural quietude exists 2f-
ter the excitement of -culling from the
multitude Of freakish styles presented
at the opening of the season some
thing which would not look too
revolutionary for sane people, and yet
embody enough of the new style tea-
lures to show that one was keeping
up with the procession Many OF the
oddities have already been retired by
the designers, an indication that they
did not take, and, unlike some dead
things, these are so awfully dead that
there is no further use in talking
about them.
But Of the increasing rage Tor blach
and white, one can scarcely say toe
much. The new designs for dresses
coming out each month offer even
more pleasing possibilities for this
striking combination, sometimes
merely I'm trimming features, often IN
the fundamental construction OF tn.
gown itself. so many beautiful ma
terials can be had for these dresses
that one if often embarrassed by the
difficulty of settling upon just ths
most pleasing ones, but Ito repeat
what has been said many times be-
fore) the fancy for the moment seems
TO be black velvet and white satin.
The picture above is good mode
for a rich, yet conservative dress eN
plotting the popular fancy for blacl
velvet and white satin. Made in tn
semi-princess style which is almos
universally prevalent, il lines are sur
to give grace TO any figure, whethe
slender one or one of more gener
Gus proportions. The bands of ermin
bordering both sides of the front pane
make the dress exceedingly hand
some.

Just a plain, simple circular one. The
blouse includes very new features. 1t
opens over V-shaped chemisette that
is in itself smart and new and the
sleeves are sewed to the armholes,
consequently can be made of the
same and contrasting material, also
they can be worn with or without
under-sleeves. In this case the gown
is of white broadcloth and black vel
vet with tucked net for the chemisette
and all-over lace for the under
sleeves. The combination is as smart
as the design Altogether the gown is
thoroughly chic, but no good model
is to be limited by any given material
and this one can be made of silk, satin
or velvet quite as well as cloth. In
fact, velvet, with broad th used
where velvet is shown, would be fash
ionable in the extreme. To still
further add TO the usefulness of the
design the bodice can be made as
shown i'm the back view and become
adapted to evening occasions. Treated
i'm this way it can be combined with
this skirt or with any preferred one.
Also the skirt can be left plain If o
very simple gown is wanted.

and all the rest Of the possible vari-
ations. The style is very becoming
to some people. perhaps to many peo-
pie; but not to ell the people. and for
that reason some Of us who cannot
wear them will not be sorry TO say
goodbye 20 a fashion which has re-
tanned It's vitality longer than most.
It is not an ungraceful mode, and
is a relief TO the plain, straight skirt
which is apt to be trying to a figure
not Of the most slender proportions.
But the slightly gathered or pleated
skirts with deep tucks around the bot
tom, which are heralded in this H.
lustration, will find many devotees
among women who like to combine
simplicity and grace with style.
