in simplicity in dress, this costume
could hardly be excelled.

To relieve its coldness, is uncom-

costliest Of all, is a combination Of
rose quartz. dark tortoise shell and
cut crystal, while to complete black
and white costume schemes in the
smartcst possible way there are 9TH
eN handles whose ivory whiteness
eventually gives place to jct-tho
division between the two-being, as
usual. most dccoratiyely marked by
the clear white brilliance of the
crystal
Some striped silk coverings are
also to be seen, and here, again,
there is evidence of the craze for
extremes which seems. to mark all
the seasons styles. For while some
of these patterns show Alternating
stripes of at least an inch WIDE and

Fringe is still being used as
trimming for eunshades, sometimes
being added to corded and guaged
banding, in which case only one row
ia used, and, at other times, forming
the sole adornment, when some four
or five rows will be brought close

be labelled dangerous (and, Of
course, you remember the well known
adage as to the woman who wears
black being either "dowdy or dan

ono altogether admirable scheme or

record it for your admiration and
imitation. It was Of the coat and
skirt variety; the finest black face
cloth was its fabric; and its style
was the simplest, the coat being
straight cut and fastening low down
and closely about the hips, where it
was broadly banded about with an
embroidery of white soutache and
silk Of an almost lacc-like design

mitted to appear on the little lapels
and the turnedback cuffs-iust the
dark and yet bright green one sees

shimmeriug ribbed silk.
Tbeu there was a green snnshade,
and finally some green quill plumage
was grouped in front Of the black
hat. while the boots Of black patent
