ty-hye years ago he refused a similar

PADS AND FASHIONS

:, Tucked net and eyelet embroidery are a. favorfte combination for mex pensive lingerie dresses.
 Coats of linen or tweed are now being made in three-Quarter lengths, and the linens are frequently belted
 One of the new umbrellas has a distinct reminiscence of the East In- dian Dunbar in it's oddly curved COW CT. sa.
 Belted mackinaw coats, built like the northern woodsman's jacket, are in great favor for women going north.
 Broadcloths, velvets, satin finished silks and brocades, faille and moire are all favorites with Parisiennes.
 Pleated skirts have their pleats held together by an inner tape so that the narrow figure silhouette is not lost
 For summer evenings at mountain and seashore little two-toned scarfs of spun silk are very much in evid- dence.
 The new automobile coats are almost shapeless, and frequently show black and gray stripes, used diagonally.
 Many Paris couturiers are showing theree-piece suits-skirt and coat of broadcloth with satin bodice exactly matching.
 White corduroy skirts are having a great vogue with tailored waists of china silk. They wash excellently and ned no ironing.
 Pleated chiffon velvet Is a new feat- ure in skirts. Combined with satin it gives an effect of much softness and richness.
 Draperies of evening gowns are as clinging as ever; even when the pan- nier is used it ought not to add full ness to the figures There is an endless variety of new effects, in lace neck fixings-vest ef- fects, Jabots, revers. Newest of all are the half-standing collars.
