ODD MIXTURES
!. IN millinery NIL
Extraordinary Combinations OF
Unexpected Materials Enter
Into the Fashions.
IDEA is REALLY EFFECTIVE.
Little Doubt That Il Will Be Widely
Taken Up-Pure White Fox 10
Predicted az the Most Popular
Fur for the Coming Winter.

Claude Cherys has Como In
strongly for black and white effects
In the millinery models. one Of which
he han sketched this week.
The hat was worn at the Biarritz
casino by the Duquesa de Arion.
Cherys has not called it portrait
study. but the drawing as matter Of
fact was made from life; it is an ex-
cellent likeness of the wife Of one of
the proudest grandees in Spain. This
design has special importance OF its
own; 1t shows the extraordinary COM
bination Of unexpected materials
which is meeting with approval from
the best Paris couturiers The hat is
in white silk felt, with q mass Of
pure white feathers circling the low
crown. The important looking fur
stole which Is thrown round the shout
ders is in white fox, and the gown
with which both hat and stole were
worn was made entirely Of oyster
white tulle.
Idea 10 to Be Popular.
This is very Partisan. The same
idea will be found to run right through
the fall and winter seasons. Rich
velvet and fur wraps will be thrown
on over the most fragile dresses. This
fashion was in vogue last winter and
the Partsians exploited 1t to perfec-
ton. So great hold has it taken on
their affections that they are deter

lie footing and for 'le sport" gen
orally. OF course 1t Is true that foot
ing" is not an English word at all and
no English speaking person uses the
word sport" in the French sense, but
that does not matter. The latest and
most attractive sport skirt is made
of corduroy velvet in pure white or
in any Of the pale Irvine or gray
shades. These skirts are quite short.
They are worn with smart. practical
shoes which match tho skirt in color
and are accompanied by plain white.
linen blouses. On the inside hem Of.
these skirts there is band Of sup.
pie leather. This band makes it an
easy matter to keep the skirt clean
even when it is worn for the most
active sports. In pure white corduroy
these skirts are exceedingly smart and
attractive: for country WEIR they are
ideal.
The correct hat to wear with them
is picturesque wideawake in white
felt and the accompanying blouse
should be in fine linen, with loose
bishop sleeves reaching well down
to the wrists and neatly plated frill
finishing OF either side Of the decol-
lete fronts. It Is of course quite cor
rect to wear plain guimpe of white
tulle with such blouse as this and
the addition Of narrow, black silk tie
gives an effective note.
Style in Shirt Waists.
Fine linen shirt waists, with plated
frills edged with heavy lace, are much
worn this year. These waists should
always be several sizes too large for
their wearer, for everything depends
on their being exaggeratedly loose.
Such thing as a tight blouse, or cor
sage Of any kind. is unheard of at
the present moment; everything is
made on loose. generous lines. and
quite young. slender girls are wearing
linen waists which would have been
considered quite large enough for their
mothers few months ago. In all the
big Paris dry goods stores one hears
slips Of girls asking for the largest
sizes In blouses and shirt waists, and

they put them on.
All the newest blouses have ultra
long shoulder seams or no shoulder
seams at all, in kimono style. For
practical wear in the morning the
bishop" sleeve ia the favorite. but
for afternoon year the newest blousea
do not seem to have any sleeves at all.
At the waist they are made so loose
and baggy that they fall over the belt
in folds that seem almost untidy. OF
course such blouses are made Of ul
tra-supple stuffs and they are almose
always cut round at the neck. It be-
comes more and more the fashion to
display the throat freely and already

Scarf Shawl.

Between the mantle and no wrap at
all there is often an uncomfortable
gap that the light, transparent scarf
does not fill. This has brought back
the pretty fashion OF the scarf wrap.
or. to be more correct. it should be
called scarf shawl. 1t II SO wide.
Wrapped about the figure It often
,oks like mantle. These scarfs are
generally two and half yards long
and yard or more wide. Sometimes
they are the width OF the material
used. which may be even as much ~
fifty-two inches.
Some OF the elaborate ones for eve
ming are made Of crepe, de chine that
has printed border on both sides.
These are outlined about the edge
with an ostrich feather band. Others
are OF charmeuse. lined with con
trasting color Of charmeuse or chiffon,
plain or owered. Such scarfs are often

soft; it Is practically unsupported.
though one or two very thin wires are
Introduced in the lining The idea is
that the velvet should be of such rich
quality that it could stand alone with
out support. Some Of the very new
advance models are made Of flame red
velvet bordered with sable: others are
in Egyptian blue mirror velvet with
q border OF white fox. These toques
come down far on the head and they
will be worn with loose wraps as well

Craze for Red Foxskins.
In Paris right at the end Of the
summer season most extraordinary
rage for red foxskins set in. These
orange red beasts were to be seen in
all the shop windows and at first it
seemed as though they were going to
enjoy genuine success. At Trouville
and Deauville some of the very smart.
est Parisiennes are these skins in the
with white linen, and muslin dresses
and the effect was excellent. But the
copy cats" have killed this fashion.
The orange red fox has already be-
come hopelessly common. 1t Is being
offered In Paris ut ridlculously low
prices. not In good quality Of course,
but still In the remarkable orange red
shade. 1t has become common and
therefore impossible from the ele-
gants's poiat OF view.
On the other hand. pure white fox
will be more worn than ever this fall
and winter. More than this, 1t will be
the clou Of the early spring season at
Nice and Monte Carlo. Good quality
white fox 10 never inexpensive, but It
II always effective. It looks equally
