Evening gowns are beautiful this
winter. The lines are so simple,
youthful and artistic and fabrics are
so rich in texture and color that it
is a pleasure to study them. Although
elaborate trimmings are used, these
rich garuitures show up we'll on the
extremely simple lines Of the gowns,
and in many cases the trimmings
are yelled with swathings of chiffon.
Fur hats and fur trimmed hats al
ways have certain vogue during the
winter months. but this year they
are enjoying unprecedented popular

the reckless lavishness with which
fur is used on coats, small sets, mil

clined to wonder whether any fur
bearing animal will escape with it's
skin this season. Probably the
modish millinery lines have had
much to do with the enthusiasm
over fur as a hat material. All Of
the little close shapes which have
been a fad lend themselves readily
to fur treatment, and indeed many
of them are decidedly more piquant
and becoming in fur than in the
beaver and velvet of the earlier sea-
son.
Many of the short hair furs are
supple enough to be handled almost
as easily as the velvet or beaver,
and one finds seal, mole, chinchilla,
ermine, baby lamb, etc., cleverly
draped into bewitching toques of in
Vulnerable shapes and fashioned i'll
to small brimmed hats that have no
suggestion Of clumsiness.
The simple toque pulled down low
upon the head, so that it frames the
face closely and almost entirely coll
ceals the hair, is often made up in
fur with an unstiffened crown that
is plain or slightly draped and with
no trimming other than a smartai-
grette or other fancy feather, or a
flower or an ornament in metallic
tissue or embroidery. In fur this
toque is usually more becoming than
in velvet, brocade or other materials
in which the shapes first appealed.
On the large hats fur is used in
many ways, sometimes for an entire
crown or, as has been suggested, for
a facing on the wide brim or as a
border for brim or for the edges OF
draping scarf. But, on the whole
the best effects in fur trimmed hats
of large size are usually obtained by
using soft scarf of handsome LONG
hair fur about the crown and en-.

Paris is very emphatic in the use
of the cloth topped shoe, and the
upper must match the color of the
walking suit or carriage gown. There
are some extreme Louis XIV. shoes
with silver buttons and a band Of
velvet to match the color of the elab.
crate costume above.
Ribbons show the trend for Par
