long time ahead for. the wearing Of pretty
costumes and occasions Of 20 many softa
are likely to arise that an interesting
variety Is needed. II has been said times
without number that the present is silk
season and undoubtedly that is true, fol-
silk is shown in many new wcaves admir-
ably adapted to suits as well - to gowna
and it is always beautiful material.
always a pleasant one to wear, but, be-
cause all this IL true, it by no means mnst
be understood that wool has not an equal
place. Broadcloth in light weight makes
beautiful gowns as well a. tailored cos
tunes, serge Is delightfully."- light in weight
and pleasant to wear, poplin 10 having
great vogue and there are certain stand
bycs that must never be forgotten. while,
among the novelties are silk and wool
mixtures that are charming. Velvet i a
pronounced favorite, also, both for entire
costumes and for trimmings and velvet is
woven in the corduroy style while the
regulation velvet and the chiffon are
equally correct. Again street costumes
are frequently made with the coat Of one
material and the skirt of another 20 that
altogether, the season is one Of infinite
charm - well as infinite variety.
There are so many kinds Of coats worn
that it is extremely difficult to single out
any one as being in especially good STYLE
but there IS tendency toward anything
that suggests the Directoire and revers,
waist coats, high collars and tight sleeves
with faring cuffs are to be noted upon
many Of the handsomest suits shown.
Then, too, there is tendency toward the
introduction Of few plaits in skirts, SO
that, while the straight, narrow lines re-
main and the plaits must be pressed fiat.
we have greater freedom in walking. Fol-
coats Of such style satin and velvet seem
especially desirable and the most charming
costumes are made withcoats of the kind
over skirts of wool either in plain color OF
In stripes or checks.
The blouses that are worn with such
suits are, for the most part, made Of thin
material in matching color. When it is said
that the separate blouse l. without style,
a false impression is given. As long a. we
wear tailored suits, we must wear blousea
Of thin materials, but the preference for
the white blouse is thing of the past.
This season, it will be worn only with the
essentially useful suit. The handsome one
must have waist Of harmonizing color
although the material may he silk. satin.
chiffon, almost anything that may be
liked.
Long coats that can be worn over entire
gowns are fashionable also; consequently,
the gown will make a rather important
feature Of the winter. For the most part,
it Is made in semi-princesse style and oil
silk, satin or light weight wool material
that can be worn within doors as well as
under the heavy coat, and the styles for
these gowns are charming. Happily for
the woman who is ambitious Of pretty
throat, high collars open at the front are
among the smartest OF all things for indoor
wear and. consequently, our threats will
be free OF compression for some hours OF
the day at least. Variations OF the Robes
pierre idea are conspicuous and there seems
to be equal prominence given to the very
high collar that is folded over in military
style and to the softer rolled one that
tails away from the throat and is finished
with becoming lace frils.
For the accessories Of dress are used
great many different fancy materials but

especially smart and some wonderfully
lovely effects are obtained by its use
Steel beads on black net make very
handsome effect and are beautiful in com.

evening Gowns in light effects show EN-,
pale colors used in the most attractive
ways, and, for the costume for Afternoon
wear, heavy lace often shows few bead:

to give brightness and relief. For after
noon occasions, we are wearing a grea,
many skirts with short trains and heav,
, silks and poplin arc charming in that way
in combination with either lace or EN-
broidery.
For the younger contingent, silks of thu
more youthful sort are liked and pretty
soft wool materials are smart for indoor
wear with generous amount Of plaic
used in combination or as trimming, fol
Scotch plaid is extremely fashionable anc
always well adapted to costumes for the
younger folk.
Long sleeves are conspicuous and sof,
frills are extensively worn and, as they
are always dainty and feminine in effect
they are welcome. For the more dress,
gowns, they are made Of lace but, for tn,
simpler ones, fine muslin is used and Z
great many sleeves are opened well VI
from the wrists, finished with frills ane
buttoned into place after the gown il
slipped on.
MORE effects are exceedingly fashion
able and all the MORE silks are used ex
tensively both for entire gowns and TO
trimming, while MORE velours make
exceedingly handsome coats for little girls
1t is pretty with trimming Of the sam,
material in lighter color or with trimming
Of satin or broadcloth. Brown in one
the rich nut shades is peculiarly handsome
in the material and brown is in the heigh
Of style while it suits little girls perfect,
well. A long coat Of brown MORE velour
with trimming Of cream color makes a
handsome wrap as could be asked.
