Dear Mrs. Thompson: Is a girl en-

ring? Should an engaged couple ex.
change rings? Don't you think that
when a girl has said she will marry
a man, he ought TO get her a ring!
All the engaged girls know have
rings and / hAysut got anything to
show that am engaged. FLOSSIE.
An engagement ring II not neces-
sary. though customary. You may be
very safely engaged without a ring.

Eagement with the consent OF your

at the hips is obtained

nREADTH at the hips is obtained
n in various ways, notably by
means Of drapery and what
is known as the ballet tunic," al
though this last is reserved for indoor
wear. 1t has been said again and
again that modern conditions would
not allow a revival of the hoop skirt.
Undoubtedly that is true for general
wear. One can hardly think of COS
tunes requiring such generous width
being worn under the crowded condi-
tions of today, but experience goes to
show that We will do anything, wear
anything, adopt anything that comes
with the sanction Of a certain few.
and something that suggests the hoop
skirt effect is found in many Of these
short tunics. They are somewhat
short at the front, longer at the back
and, in many instances, they are made
Of thin material plated and so trimmed
and finished as to stand away from the
figure at the lower edge while not
actually wired, although now and again
one sees the wire itself used. A cos
tune exploited by a leading importer
but with some way suggests adver-
tising rather than actual use, consists
Of three founces each wired at the
lower edge. The material is chiffon
and the effect exactly that of a triple
lamp shade, which comparison was
made simultaneously by two women
when first it was seen. The greater
number Of tunics are. however, much
more attractive. A pretty one is, for
example, made entirely of maline laid
in the finest possible plaits. At the
lower edge, these plaits are pulled out
and the hem is finished with rhine
stone banding. Others again are
plated without even so much stiffen-
ing for the plaits when drawn in at the
waist line will fare to give the desired
effect even without such aid. There
are tunics, too. that are made of lace
founcing and that are not stifened
IN any way but are allowed to fall
against the figure and there are plain
tunics that are trimmed with plated
frills. Tulle, maline and null i<AAllits
variations are being extensively used.

DLAID as trimming and in CON-
bination with plain materia
often appears at its best. Its
perhaps little extreme for the entire
costume. The little girls coat and the
woman's costume showing a plaid
skirt with the coat and trimming Of
plain color make excellent examples Of
the manner in which plaid can be
used to the greatest advantage.
The little coat is an extremely at
tractive one with separate peplum
joined to the long WASTED body por-
lion beneath the belt. 1t is made
from dark blue cheviot with trimming
Of plaid and is exceedingly smart. A
feature is found in the buttons of the
material
The costume showing the plaid skirt
includes several new features The
trimming strap that is arranged over
the back of the skirt draws it in slightly
and will be liked by the greater number
of women but is by no means essential.
for, without it. there is just a plain
skirt. narrow enough for most tastes.
In the front view. this same costume
is made of diagonal cheviot with the
collar and cuffs of plain velvet and the
vest portions of brocaded velvet and
that combination is handsome one.
The coat is abruptly cut away at the
front to reveal the waistcoat and Is
exceedingly smart.

FASHION NOTES.

I TERE in New York we are all
II agog over the new fashion
displays 1t can not be said
that there is any really strikdngly new
note, although variations galore are
to be found. One of the most marked
tendencies is toward breadth Just
below the hip line with narrow skirt
about the feet but we have known and
discussed that feature for many weeks.
Fur will be extensively worn, in fact
used in every possible way, not alone
as an entire garment but also as trim
ming in touches and in bits. On
evening gowns are to be seen tiny
little edges of fur that are extremely
effective in contrast with the lace.
gauze and the like, and not a few
handsome costumes show fur finishing
the sleeves in place Of cuffs and form
ing the small regulation collar at the
back while the lapels are of the
material. Fur used in such ways is
unquestionsbly handsome and attrac-
tive but happily for the great mass
Of womankind does not represent lavish
outlay. That extremely handsome
fur sets and fur coats will be worn by
those who can afford luxury unde-
niably is trle but the trimming of fur
is unquestionably smart and. since
our climate is changeable one, many
women to whom the item of coast is
not an important one, choose suits
that are lightly trimmed with fur from
the standpoint of comfort Here in
New York at least, we seldom touch
the zero point and many of the fur
coats seem desirable only as part Of
an arctic equipment. Fur trimmed
costumes are practical as well as
handsome and almost every known
skin will be used. although the long
haired varieties, notably fox and
skunk. are favorites. Fox, let it be
added. is being dyed to every color
to satisfy every whim. For evening
and afternoon use, it has been seen in
a genuine canary shade and it seems
likely that the dying Of skins will b.
pushed to an extreme. This is not the
age Of reverence. and we no more
hesitate to slash into sable and ermins
to produce an effect than we do to cut
up cloth that can be woven in any
desired quantity.

edges OF which are Tapped and held in

there is shown vest that is made in
sections and that gives blouse effect
at the waist line. Since everything
that is loose, everything that is much
bloused at the waist line is in the
height of style, the model is an excel
lent one. In the picture, the checked
material is combined with ivory broad
cloth and with velvet. One can think
of this costume treated in great many
different ways, however. Wool velours
and peau de peche are found in plain.
striped and broche effects. An ex-
oeedingly handsome suit adapted to
afternoon visits and occasions Of the
kind could be made by using plain
material for the skirt and striped or
broche for the coat with the revers and
cuffs made from the plain material and
the little vest portion and collar Of
some embroidered or lowered silk in
really daring contrast. Everything for
dressy occasions must show some bit

THE three founced skirt Is a
favorite and it is true that a
great many will be made from
fine material accordion plated wher
designed for dinner use. For the
street, three founces in circular form
are popular and tall women will find the
style becoming and use them effec-
lively. A new model is made in this
way, the three hounces being over
tapped and the uppermost attached to
a deep yoke. As finish, the lower edge
Of this yoke is covered with a narrow
band of fur and fur edge appears again
on the sleeves.
A n imported model seen today
~ shows a tunic Of alI-over lace
over which are arranged three
plated frills of maline and these frills
naturally give the desired line. Flounc-
ings of all kind are being used. Lace
Of every known sort is fashionable.
II any reader have treasures of the sort
laid away, now is the time to turn them
to use. A beautiful gown Of black
chiffon shows a tunic of black Eounc-
ing arranged over white. Almost every
dressy costume is made with hmono
sleeves and many of the evening
bodices are so constructed that they
are made of founcing. 1t is to be
season Of lace, Of fur, Of jewels, OF
scintiilating effects, Of everything that
counts for splendor. What might be
called the Waistcoat effect or the
center portion Of the blouse made from
a different material, is extensively
shown and the treatment lends itself
to the use Of founcing with singular
success. An afternoon costume that
comes from a leading Partisan house
combines white silk voile with black
brocaded ninon. The skirt is Of the
voile while the tunic and the kimono
bodice are of the ninon which is woven
in bordered effect, and the edges Of
the border finish the tuni: and also
finish the sleeve edges. The vest IS
of white net This particular costume
does not show fur but fur appears in
the greater number Of handsome
gowns. Wide sirdles are being much
worn A handsome costume that
illustrates how the edges Of fur are
effectively used is designed for evening
or dinner wear and is made Of crepe
meteore combined with a rich bro
cade.

remain narrow about the feet while
such drapery and fullness as are used
are massed below the hips. Perhaps
one of the most important features Of
the autumn is found in the very general
use of the separate waistcoat and vest
effects. The greater number of new
and smart tailored suits show vest
portions that are attached Ito the
lining but there are also numberless
separate waistcoats that can be worn
with any coat that are exceedingly
smart while for their making are used
brocaded velvets, embroidered ma
terials and all the wonderful, rich and
beautiful fabrics for which the season
is remarkable although, for every day
use, waistcoats are seen made Of
broadcloth in contrasting color, Of
corduroy and of similar serviceable
fabrics.
