craze. Gorgeous buttons set with col

cut steel, enamel, gunmetal and the

lovely designs. Many Of these buttons
are far beyond the limit of the aver

material, they have just enough
weight for cool weather until frosty au-

these coast are the plainest, where
the big collar falls over the shoulders
In sort Of cape-like hood, and the
big sleeves are made to be turned
back. All that one requires to make
the outfit complete and fit for almost
any outdoor occasion is a pretty
blouse or neckpiece that covers one
as far as the bust.

wearer the appearance Of being col.

of the low neck all sorts of little
bands, narrow cravat effects and
scarfs are employed. Some of the
daintiest ones are finished with clus-

and looking so natural that one Is
easily deceived by them. The odd lit

lace under the gauze yoke continues
to hold favor with good many fash

brilliants are mounted In heavy gold
incrustations, and the more elaborate

ures where long and short lines art
necessary assets, but the muffs are al
