FASHIONS AND FADS

Silks in ribbed weaves are gaining
in fashions favor
Fichus are increasing in size; some
of them almost cover the bodice OF
the gown.
Large buttons and buttonholes form
an effective trimming on the new
suits this fall.
Among the new coats. khaki
colored cloth with heavy revers OF
black velvet is seen.
Bracelets OF black velvet clasped
with diamond buckles are worn rather
high up ON the arm.
Among the favored buttons are ball
buttons, white brocade buttons and
concave amber buttons.
Full and fussy frills, Pierrot RULES
and other frivolities in the way Of
neckwear are losing favor.
Bright-colored Japanese bows at
the back of colored cointures are es-
pecially effective on plain black
or white gown.
Some of the newest coats of black
taffeta and satin are cut away sharply
from the bust. with a long pointed
tai' at the back.
Bright ruby. scarlet, brick red,
mulberry, geranium, carnation and
cherry are the bright splashes Of color
used on the new winter models.
The novelty color this season is yell
low. and many evening dresses show
yellow material, toned down by lace
or other subdued trimmings.
Armlets in an odd color to match
the bright colors used at the waist
gives an original touch to some Of
the more elaborate toilettes de soiree.
Aigrettes of feathers do not stand
ND this season. but are posed fatty
in several places on the hat, one gem
orally standing well out from the
brim
All frocks will have close-ftting
guimpes made TO cover the neck up
to the cars. For these much OF the
metallic thread and embroidery will
be used.
New muffs for the winter are COM
posed entirely of fur. The combina-
ton of satin and fur, which was used
so much last winter, is thing OF the
past. ~
Much attention is being shown to
black laces. This is especially true of
the handsome blacR Chantily bands
and founcings which are used over
colored silks.
novelty coat is made OF navy
ratine lined with white satin or with
satin of the same color. II Is made
adjustable so that either satin or
cloth may be worn outside.
Block beaded handbags, round in
shane. are carried by many smart
women. They are composed entire
" of black beads, with aogarland OF
roses embroidered in beads.
Even among the evening wraps full
length styles are not shown to any
degree. The seven-eighth length is
i'm evidence and practically all the
new designs are In these effects.
The combination of embroidery and
lace is a new note. II is used es-
pecially in making the skirt portion
OF n costume by alternating founces
of embroidery and maline lace.
Huge velvet flowers are worn at the
waist of evening dresses, also MOWERS
Of coIored mousseline and silks. This
idea is as much in favor now as It
Twas during the summer.
For wraps, the materials most
popular are ratines and velvets In
fact. these two materials occupy the
7, field. Both materials are shown In
plain, striped and brocaded patterns.
The new directoire coats have
match pockets at the hips. The sleeves
arc long, with ruffies of lace at the
lower edge or running up the outer
eeam. The turn-back cuffs are much
a. vogue.
Many Of the new dresses combine
Ped and blue. This combination is
taken up by the Parisienne as enthu-
siastically as it was over a century
ago by the patriots of the French
revolution.
