HORSE SHOW HATS SIMPLE.

The hats worn at the horse show were
on account OF their simplicity
The majority Of them were small, resting
low on the head, and we're trimmed with
a single mount OF a feathery consistency
placed directly in front Sometimes IT was
a single spray Of osprey, or an aigrette'
which nodded over the velvet or brocaded
crown. Again II was one OF the manu-
featured fantasies. The draped crowns
were a feature Of the best looking hats
and there was very soft and becoming
effect lent by the flexible, shirred or fulled
crowns, which may be adjusted to SUIT
the face Of the wearer. The latest IDEA
shows the crown pulled down into a point
at either side.
That fur is one OF the fads OF the sea-
son was clearly demonstrated by the
quantities Of It used In decorating the
fashionable headgear Any one who owns
bit of fur, even though 1t may be only
scrap, should utilize it in some way
this season. 1t requires only scrap TO
make one Of the ears which adorn some
of the high priced hats In addition, there
are the bands. quilts, wings, aigrettes'
cabochons and scarves, all made from
fur-sable, ermine, fox, squirrel, mole,
seal and civet cat.

pRAPED EFFECTS IN FURs.

The coats of seal, mink, caracul and
baby lamb may be worn both for general
utility purposes and for dressy occasions.
The draped effects have been introduced
into the latest models, but there are quite
as many garments fashioned on the old,
conservative straight lines. The woman
who buys fur coat as an investment to
shield her from the cold for many a year
will be better satisfied in the long run II
she selects one simply fashioned on the
old, familiar lines, though the furriers
can now reconstruct anything ss long as
II is fur.
The fur Of the hour Is moleskin, but 1t
Is hardly the fur one would chose for
everyday wear. To be sure. 1t is unpre-
tentious, but It does not possess sturdy
wearing characteristics. That il is the
10Y and delight OF the skilful furrier Is
not surprising, for 1t Grapes as softly as
satin, and It's curiously marked pelt per-
mits Of an almost endless variety OF COM
binations. The NOSE expensive models

LARGE MUFFS THIS YEAR.

There is one general Characteristic that
all the muffs possess-they are ali large.
The majority of women seem to prefer
the fiat pillowy muff. Fortunately there
are various ways Of trimming this style
of muff to relieve the monotony. For In
stance, four strips Of fur, about an inch
In width, may be placed at either end of
a muff OF fur or velvet. For the woman
whose muff looks as If IT had shrunk be-
side the mammoth creations OF this win
ter, these clever arrangements make it
possible to increase the size by adding
strips Of fur. Some of the foreign i'm
porters insist that the barrel mum.
whether OF one fur or a combination Of
two, is newer than the familiar pillow
shape.
There is a practical value in the mrffs
with the pointed flap which falls over the
front and conceals pocket large enough
to hold the purse and small package or
two.
AS the winter progresses there is a
noticeable tendency to match the furs to
the gown. This is a comparatively simple
matter when the suit is OF black velvet
or cloth. or even brown, but ii is not as
easy a proposition to find fur which will
blend with the grays and taupes, now so
fashionable for street suits. There is
always moleskin, but this is not an mex
pensive fur, and il woman is DESTROYS
Of owning several sets she hesitates to
part with large sum Of money in order
to procure the set OF moleskin

.BLOUSES AND
SEPARATE SKIRTS

Last season II was not an easy under
taking to find a pretty blouse 10 compile
ment the tailored suit. There were plenty
OF blouses, but an uninterestlng sameness
was noticeable both in the exclusive shops
and the large stores. The only explana-
ton seemed to be that the one-plece
dresses were so much in demand that
the designers scorned TO waste their time
on such trines as blouses The elabo-
rate lingerie models with fine handwork
and exquisite lace insets were abundantiy
scattered through the shops. but the
simple, effective waist to wear with a
severe tailored skirt was an almost I'M
known quantity. This year the situation
is very much changed. The variety OF
blouses both plain and dressy rivals that
OF the gowns. AS the spring approaches
IL Is claimed, the separate waist VIII be
even more highly favored.
As n negligee shirt to be worn in the
morning, one in the French flannel chal-
lis or albatross is both good looking and
comfortable. These shirts are just as
simple and plain as II Is possible to make
them. The favorite designs are the
strIpes. black and white, blue and white
or red and white. according to ones
taste. To be thoroughly practical these
shirts should fasten in the front. for
who wants to twist and squirm In the
cndeayor TO button the waist In the
back? AS matter OF convenience. too,

sometimes on both sides The turnover
collar of the waist material is often worn
with shirts of this type, as a change
from the stifI linen collar.

NEW FURS IN NEW STYLES
ARE THIS YEARS ORDER
Draped Effects Are Being introduced in the Fur Garment,
Especially in Those for Evening Wear and
for the More Formal Occasion

During the last few days, when visit
from Jack Frost was anticipated at any
time the contemplation of new furs has
become a necessity. To be sure, the furs
offered this winter are so alluring that
II would not seem a hardship to inspect
them even In a rising temperature, pro-
vided one could have the support of a
well filled pocketbook.
SO numerous are the coats Of leopard skin
that one might imagine it childs play
to pop one Of these snarling beasts into
oblivion and rob him Of his pelt. Even
the tiger must be ever on the alert IL
he does not wish to donate his striped
skin to adorn some smartly dressed
daughter OF civilization. 1t would not
be a wise purchase for the woman who
can have only one fur coat to buy one
of leopard skin-she would thus be COM
pelIed to advertise to her friends that
II was her only fur coat, for a leopard
or tiger skin coat is not easily forgotten.
This very quality, however, makes the
coat desirable to the woman who sheds
her fur coats as many times day as
she does her cloth ones. AS If the pelt
itself were not sufficiently striking 70
attract attention, the furriers are adding
collar and cuffs OF civet cat or VOL
VERNE. These coats are long, some being
finished with the rounded corners, others
with the square.
At outdoor events during this season OF
the year, one also sees many coats OF
raccoon, which, while It has not beauty
to recommend, is inexpensive and de-
cidedly comfortable. When cap Of the
same fur is worn, the wearer is lost
almost beyond recognition, Skunk is
sometimes used for the collar and cuffs
Of these raccoon coats, in order to add q
hif of variety.

VFLVETS AND RICH CLOTHS
IN CLOSE COMPETITION
The Suit Of Cloth, Even When 1t Is Severely Tailored
Has a Strong Rival in the Velvet Costume; Both
Are Trimmed in Contrasting Materials.

osbsll II be a suit of cloth or velvet
This Is The question that is perpleNine
many a feminine mind. There are so
raDy advantages i'm either Of these fab
rirs that the problem resolves Itself into
q ouroly personal one. II n woman al
ready possesses a cloth suit. which may
he made wearable by few up-to-date al
tarations. she Will make a wise choice in
selecting a second suit OF velvet, but the
woman who must depend upon one suit
for fair and stormy weather VIII find the
suit of cloth far more satisfactory. No
hard and fast lire can be drawn between
the suits Of velvet and those OF cloth.
There are cloths quite dressy enough to
be used for handsome reception costumes,
and vcIvets which may be fashioned into
the simplest and severest Of tailored cos
tunes for the street during the morning
promenade hours.
APPEARANCE OF NEW SHADES.
For the cloth suits such materials as
velours de lalne. zibeline. peau de souriS
and the boucle goods are the most IaSh-
jonable. and even at this date they are
appearing in new shadings to arouse
afresh the interest Of women who have
DELAYED ordering their tailored suits on
account Of the mild weather. Among the
new red tones, now so stylish, there is
an intense hue taking its color from the
priceless ruby, and another in the terra
Gotta tint which blends with the red the
artist Besnard has made famous. The
most unusual of the new colors is that
called frosted grape" which is a clever
imitation Of the grape after the frost

Green is still another color which
bids fair to supersede the brown and gray
tones Despite this fact one Of the most

The high prices asked for these moleskin
coats will tend to keep them exclusive,
though the reasonably priced limitations
are so clever that only the knowing ones
can detect them.

NET WAISTS STILL POPULAR.

With the tailored skirt in the morning
white net waists are very chic In fact
these waists seem to have lost none OF
their popularity, although they were
hailed as novelties as long as three WIN
ters ago In order TO have them very
smart they must be severely plain. A
charming blouse In cream net has won
many customers for we'll known French
importer. The entire waist Is tucked, the
sheerness of the material requiring this
mode. The front pleat Is softened BY
cascade OF lace on either side, similar
fall OF lace finishing the deep cuffs which
are extended to the elbow. The yoke ef-
feet so popular this winter, gives the
cachet TO another white net blouse. on
this waist the familiar maybe coloring 10
carried out by having the shallow yoke
and front pleat of black chiffon. On
the right side of the pleat there are slnlu-
lated buttonholes, which look as IL they
should encircle the buttons on the oppo-
site side. At the neck there is small
fat bow Of black velvet, with long ends
flowing TO the waist line, which harmo-
nIzes with the narrow black velvet ribbon

straight cuffs.
Although the chiffon blouses may seem
bit dressy for the morning, they are
considered correct. provided they are fash
Toned simply. A blouse OF white chiffon,
worn during the morning session at the
horse show with black velvet skirt, had
the centre pleat trimmed with black satin
buttons. The same sombre note was again
sounded by yelling with black chiffon the
sailor collar Of white satin. On either side
OF the front plest frills Of the shadow lace
lent a delightfully."- soft and fluffy effect
The sleeves were interesting as signifyins
additional fulness. which seems TO be slow
" out inevitably creeping into the new
sleeves. This fulness from the elbow to
the wrist was restrained by a tucked cuff
of the chiffon.

Some women, however. always prefer
the shirts of heavy linen or wash silk,
claiming that the high temperature Of the
rooms I'm winter is equal 10 summer heat.
The same severity, observable in the fan
mel shirt is duplicated in these skirts Of
a thinner material. Tucks in many cases
are added making the blouse more be-

fashioned from a wash silk, has the tucks

On another equally effective white chif-

tended from the neck to waist line, and
was made from dainty cream embroidered
batiste, finished on either side with one

shallow round collar Of the batiste with a
pretty edging OF Valenciennes lace, which
was also used to outline the edges Of the
