COMING SILK STYLES.
Crepe.de-C Chine to Succeed Satin Bro.
cadeS and China Silks-0dd
Coats and Skirts.

New York, Jan 3.-Brocades Of all
materials are increasingly worn and
it is prophesied that crepe-de-chine
weaves in silk will replace Charmeose
and other satins that have been stand
ard for several seasons. Brocaded
crepes especially are to be used for
spring if these rumors are authentic.
AT this time Of year though, one can
never prophecy with any certainty for
fashions are made quite as much by
buyers as by designers. If the public
doen't take to a style it falls flat for
the time, though later 1t may come
back successfully as ACCORDION plait-
ings are doing now, though last year
no one would have them.
Odd Coats and Skirts.
Odd coats and skirts are in evidence
wherever the smartly dressed assem-
Bile. Goats Of silk and wool figured
cloth-known at Matasse-are espe-
cially well worn and velvet coats with
silk skirts are quite the thing. Skirt
and coat sometimes match in color,
but quite as often are in complete con-
trast, and coming models will show
striped skirts with plain coats as well
as the reverse Of this. Plush Of light
weight and short nap has been y.rv
popular this winter fo" suifs street
dresses, and Enillinery, as well as for
coa!S- Brocades a scheduled to re-
place these later There is a decided
trend toward fancy short coats, even
Elton styles have appeared, and the
sleeveless lace jacket of this cut edged
with narrow fur is a fayorite device
for afternoon getups used by smart
dressmakers.
New Hats.
While there is no rush to buy hats
at this time, considerable business is
done in small cap shapes, draped after
oriental models. White plushes and
brocades with a thread Of tinsel in |
their weave are liked for these, and |
sprays of bleached, dyed or natural |
Paradise are fayorite trimming,
caught with some sort of glltterng
ornament usually. Fur hats on SINH /
lar lines come in for wear at this
time, when If ever we get weather that
demands fur for comfort, as well as
elegance.
Fur Trimmings.
Fur trimmings appear on everything.
Bands at the foot of the skirt collars
and cuffs, on coats and jackets. The
edges of drapery are trimmed with 1t,
even though the materials used be of
most delicate and fllmy weave Ev-
ening or day coats are built of fur I'm

that add not whit to the bulk of even
an oyer-deyeloped figure. Just now,
one can do wonders at small cost.
