over the tunic skirt, shaping into a point
from which falls a large ornament of jet
With a decollet& that discloses the
whole curve Of the shoulder and an H.
lusiOn of sleevelessness that is the result
of the very transparent tulle sleeves, an
other model is of jetted tulle in a modern
overlapping leaf design. 1t is posed over
foundation dress of black satin, which
shows a little near the hem and is bor-
dered with a narrow jet band. The de-
collete is edged with large jet beads, the
filmy sleeve edges also. A cut Jet belt
encircles the high waist line. The only
ornamentation is furnished by the note
Of white-a long strand of pearls wound
twice about the neck, the pearl pendant
Pin and the pearl rings. A black and
white paradise plume carries out this
contrast in the hairdressing.
Shown in two views is an evening
dress that has also this touch of white.
1t is built after the fashion now in vogue
"A transparent corsage and a satin skirt.
Over this black satin skirt is hung q
jetted tulle yoke, pointed back and front.
From this, in girandole fashion, hang
festoons of large cut jet beads. The skirt
Is slashed, revealing Chantilly lace pet
ticoat. Where the train is caught back
there is a pointed motif of jetted net re-
sembling the tunic. Black ChantilIy over
pale pink chiffon composes the corsage;
the touch of white is introduced in the
white lace that shows below the high cut
jet Empire belt. Sleeves Of ''angeI". cut
are weighted with jet ornaments.

TsEE~Exz9 Ell, with its snappy, dark
ES9SA&syS2 tones and glancing lights,
" E Is a fashionable detail in
tE Il N midwinter garb. One sees
M it on hats where it per
ESEGx6 haps makes a spiked
wreath, encircling the
round crown of dropping brimmed hat
of the picture type, or forms cabochon
ornaments that have swinging tassels or
fringes attached. Again it is to be noted
in beaded embroidery, on chiffon or lace
corsages. Necklaces of it, long or short,
or twisted about the neck forming long
and a short strand, hang over velvet or
diaphanous Chantilly lace corsages. Slip
pers have beaded motifs or buckles of it,
wristbass are now jetted, onyx pins and
jewelry are added to the costume even
when it is not for mourning wear.
Designs and uses change, and the old
let STYLES resemble little those Of to-day
except in texture. Here and there one
sees a whole gown Of jet, but to-day it is
used much more in combination with
nther materials, since coordination" is
the style slogan of this season. In the
former days of jetted dresses passemen-
ter,e motifs, such as collars, revers, vests,
berthas ard fringes,. were the fayorite
ways of using jet When entire dresses
were made of it they were generally OF
overlapping spangles like serpent scales.
To-day Jet is applied by bead embroideries
ON net and chiffon or lace, and the limp
ness Of these materials lends much to its
modern charm.
Contrasting the black of the jet with
the white of pearl beads is a salient note
Of the new jet fashions. This is intro
duced in some OF the newest jet dresses
BY being a part of the embroidery. Ap-
pIications, guimpes, motifs or extension
white lace balds often take the place Of
pearIs to give this ccntrast-black jet with
a dash Of white.
A gown that is on lines especially suited
to a matron has this note of pearls in the
Jet embroidery. Over foundation skirt
of black satin and an undercorsage of
pink chiffon and tulle is posed blae !
voile skirt tun;, embroidered with jet and
pearl beads. TIE corsage Of this tunic is
of black Chantilly, also jet and pearl en-
broidered, and both il and the tunic skirt
are edged with strands Of very large cut

rose, nesting in the folds of a fur hat
Now gold or silver is the almost indis-
pensable touch to an elaborate afternoon
lor evening costume, and metal lace Is the
principal decoration of many Of the win
ter dinner and ball dresses. The smart
dresser is using it principally in scant
founces on net foundations over satin.
iTunics are formed from deeper widths
of this gold or silver lace. generally OF
q shadow lace pattern, often frightened
with flat lame threads outlining the de-
sign. Many cream or ecru lace fiounces
show interwoven metal threads. and give
a new note to lace dancing frocks-
Such gowns naturally call for gold or
silver shoes. These were very noticeable
at the horse show and opera opening
NIGHTS. Stockings matched, of course; the
SINNERS were either of kid or of woven
gold or silver tissue, decorated with small
bows of the material or brilliant buckle
slides, or beaded.
The latest fashion in modish hats Is
those of gold lace. They go charminsiy
with elaborate afternoon and evening
clothes that are touched up BY these new
metal trimmings. These hats are in all
the new forms, winged bonnsts, dropping
brimmed "cloche" shapes, small hats with
narrow brims rolled at one side and
tooues with rolled back brims that touch
the crown sides.
They are made up absolutely trans-
parently, Wire frames Of gold or silver
are covered with a layer of tulle or
chiffon and the metal lace is stretched
over the tinrel frame. The edges are often
finished with a band of skunk or ernine
fur, or fur is used to band the crowns. A
long single tip of the fur color is often
posed Ike an aigrette, or flowers Of
satin or chenille run vinelike over the
brim
One very pretty hat Of this kind, a
modified poke shape, had its gold lace
crown and brim covered with a layer OF
black tulle, which softened the CLINT of
the metal. Two circular ruffles. edged
with narrowest gold braid, covered the
brim. A wreath of flowers, old fashioned
red and blue roses and bachelor buttons,
alternated with gold leaves. encircled the
crown and a handful Of narrow black
velvet RIBBON loops aung from the
wreath over one ear. A hat shape
with very dropping brim was made
Of heavy maereme croeheted gold
lace. The brim edge had narrow over
binding Of skunk fur, and ar old fashioned
