IONS oil last year are the smarest this season.
The one bit of decoration that be used with i'm
puny this Winter is touch OF brocade. Brocade col
lars and cuffs have displaced the elaborate braiding.
Never before has severity been so absolutely vital
in tailored costumes. Parisians of the smart world
have practically adopted a morning uniform, so plain
their clothes.
But what a contrast is presented IN their evening
ol,I
the tendency in these costumes and the onecoIor
tune is absolutely out Eight ten color tones are
frequently used in one evening gown.
Every age is represented in these smart costumes
formal affairs. We have robbed the Orient we have
taken ideas the days Of Pharaoh OF Cleopatra and
of Eve.
With the overelaboration Of decoration has come a
craze for transparency that is startling even in Paris
But the Partisan Of fashion and social standing
wears her transDarencies only in her own home She
never wears them when she is herself guest and she
never wears them in public places
Girdles were never so elaborate and scarves are a
necessary part of every formal costume The present
scarf does double duty. frequently forms the grdIe
or perhaps, draped the left shoulder forms
sleeve.
Mufs are larger and very elaborate They are rnade
OF brocade Of velvet and Of chiffon with bands of fur
and when brocade is used the hat must match The
velvet and brocade muhs shrred in five or six sec
tons The mutfs in shape. They are Dractf
caly pipe shape The pipe that is used for the carry
ing of water and gas! They are long and round The
draped muff and the muf that is wider than it is long
more find favor with the mondaines
The keynote Of beauty is absolute simplicity
Whether in house decoration or feminine fashions
believe that absolute simplicity should rule Person
ally, think that it is within every woman's povar 70
make herself beautiful And not by means of pafnt
and powder but by her clothes. To be chic to he
eXquisitely gowned and groomed is to be beautiful
Manners may make the man. but dress r,al,as
woman OF plain features make herself beautiful
gowns with eye to her defects as well as TO be go
No woman who does not know her defects can
think she should. The woman who does not realize II

realize that her pale blue eyes be darened by the
