THE ACCESSORIES OF DRESS

II when you have the chance you Will
always regret it. There Is a woman in
this town who can't see a white coat
suit without almost shedding tears over
the fact that she failed to buy one that
was reduced to $50 when she had the
chance Nothing she has bought has
given her the sensation of the gown she
didn't buy. and her kind actuates others
to do their worst with the little money
they have left.
Anew Umbrella.
Take for instance, new English UNI
brella 1t has nothing remarkable about
it until one reaches the end of the
handle, and then instead of 4 knob, or a
crook or a fanciful ornament-what do
you think it has? A leather thong to go
over the wrist. In other words, 1t Is
finished off like a riding crop, and this
leather loop is Of pigskin, or white
it attractive?
1t eliminates the trouble of carrying
it in ones hand and of leaving it in
dozen places a day. 1t is not only Sc
curely attached to your arm, but 1t pre-
sents an exceedingly smart appearance.
Short Capes Of Jet.
1t is difficult to pass by a fascinating
row of short jet wraps which hang up
in the Galleries Lafayette. These are
white and black and mounted on extra
thin chiffon cloth. The arfnholes are
merely slashes in the fullness at the sides
and they are ready to throw over house
gown, or to be used for many kinds or
informal affairs in moderate weather IL
one does not wish more than SCARF
across the shoulders.
And writing of scarfs reminds me that
the smart thing in this line fs a long.
wide affair of that new gold lame en-
broidery. The entire scarf Is made OF
gold net and lace, with heavy thread OF
rolled gold running in and out in a bold
design.
And IL one has coat that opens In
front to the waist line and one realizes
that the autumn days arc chilly. then
vests made OF bright-colored velvet ana
corduroy, which are nothing but shirt
bosoms fastened down the front with bull
let buttons and passed around the waist
with an elastic. They have such ador-
able collars; the kind that roll out from
the neck in a neglige way and stand up
as high as the ears.
If one goes in for anything that re-
sembles the MARITIME school of decoration
then one ardently desires q Waistcoat OF
heavy crepon which has white ground
and large revolving circles of flowers
which are also shams, but give such
dashing effect to half-worn suit that
economy compels one to wear until
Thanksgiving.
Then there are those long strings Of
tiny starry flowers in various bright col
ors. which you wind around the hair in
order to keep<ft in place. 1t is passed
around the head once or twice and is
used for afternoon as we'll as evening
Under the hat? OF course. 1t makes
| rather fascinating ornament for the
daytime. You see, your hat is worn quite
low down on the head and tits up a bit
at the right side, and you merely catch
a glimpse of the starry flowers here and
there, as though they were a part of the
hat trimming.
BY the way. the milliners are quite en-
thusiastic over their new trick of pass
ing q broad band of colored tulle tightly
around the head before posing the hat.
This tulle Is worn at all hours of the day
and night when hat is worn. 1T is often
the color of the hair, or the color of the
hat; nothing garish is attempted. The
tulle is placed well at the nape of the
neck, passes oyer the ears, and disap-
pears under the front Of the hat.
