their furs clasped tightly about the
throat; others have recourse to the
chest protector, or chemisette, which
is made separate from the jacket and
worn only in severe weather. In the
Jacket illustrated the difficulty has
been overcome by the cut Of the coat
itself. 1t is brought over the chest
to the throat and finished with high
rolling collar. The style is not only
comfortable but very fashionable. The
coat is much longer than that worn in
the earlier season, and is semi-ftted |
In the back.
Furs are an essential feature of the |
complete toilette. This set consists of
the scarf and muff. 1t was chosen to
harmonize with the suit and bring the
costume and accessories into pleas
ing and elegant ensemble. Scarfs as
well as muffs are somewhat smaller
than for the past couple OF seasons.
This, however, should be decided by
the wearer. A tall, slight figure car
rates to advantage a very large pillow
muff, while a woman whose lines are
not slender should choose one OF
smaller size, which will not detract
from her height
The hat of black plush is finished
with a white wing. The white gloves
worn with the costume have black
stitching. This carefulness of detail
may seem to many an exaggerated
and perverted sense of dress, but it
is of Just this care of little things that
really good dressing consists. Every
woman who has any pretension to
style knows the value of the little
things in dress, and that even the
heads of her hatpins must conform to
the chosen color scheme.
Black and white remains an ideal
color combination, not only for after
noon but for evening as well. The
popular fashion of drapery may be
partially responsible for this. This
means of decoration permits of the
soft laces and chiffons, the dainty
pompadour effects and charmeuse
satins, being developed in combina-
tion with their contrasting colors in
the same or different materials, Not
only is black and white practical, but
a touch of color may readily be added,
giving the necessary finishing note
without any bizarre effect
The evening dress shown here is of
white satin with drapery of white
chantilly. The lace comes from the
shoulder over the waist and skirt al
most to the hem, reversing its course
to be caught up in center-front by a
large rose of white velvet. The small
slightly -draped sieve is also of the
lace, and is edged about with mar
row band of skunk. The entire drap-
cry of the gown has this fur border on
either side, thus heightening the rich
and artistic appearance of the cos
tune. The bodice of white chiffon is
cut low and edged with black jet trim
ming. A crush girdle of the satin
caught by a large white velvet rose
finishes the corsage decoration. The
narrow white satin train adds a note
of elegance to the ensemble. Tn,
combination of white satin and blacl
chantilly lace becomes more popula
day by day. Many beautiful lace
have descended to us from our grand
mothers, and these can be turned t,
splendid account. Mingled with fuI
no richer or more elegant toilet
could be conceived
