with generous armholes and the long
sleeves Of the shirred velvet are at
tached to foundation or guimpe. The
V-shaped neck is finished with a band
Of fur below a faring collar Of white
silk. Since the velvet is Of a new sort
known as velours Salome, it is almost
as soft and pliable as liberty satin itself
while il has a marvelously rich and
beautiful surface.
There are a great many redingote
suits TO be worn and. while the redingote
gives the effect Of a aaring tunic, they
are by no means all exaggeratedly wide.
Fur, and to a great extent black fur.
is exceedingly fashionable and a very
handsome redingote costume designed
for young matron is Of oyster white
broadcloth with bands Of skunk fur az
trimming and a very wide girdle Of
brocaded velvet showing rich Persian
oolors. The coat reaches within five
or six inches Of the edge Of the
skirt and the skirt is a narrow one.
incidentally It may be mentioned that
the finish for the neck edge is varia-
tion Of the military collar that is high
at the back but left open for a few
inches at the front

MASQUERADE COSTUMES
THAT EFFECT A PER-
Feet DISGUISE.

n 10 costume makes a more COM
plete disguise than the one
that conceals the lines Of the
figure and here are two that are ap-
propriate both for men and for women
which fact In itself renders them de-
sirable and, since sex is concealed.
mystihcation is sure to follow.
Both garments are perfectly simple.
100, and they can be made from such
materials as percaline. challis and the
like or from silk il handsomer effect
is wanted.
The domino with its hood and cape
completely envelopes the figure. In
the picture. the entire garment Is made
from fine quality Of black sateen which
is so highly mercerized as to give
really silklike effect and the lining Of
the hood and the lining Of the cape are
Of the same material in brilliant red.
The color, however, can be varied in
definitely to suit each persons taste
and, If something handsomer Is wanted.
silk or satin could be substituted for
the sateen with either plain or a fancy
lining. Stripes are 50 much in vogue
that It is easy to obtain good colors
and lining Of stripes in rich. brilliant
tones always gives a good effect. II
something little handsomer than the
sateen is wanted yet the dress silk seems
over-costly, lining sateen can be used
and today all the prevailing colors can
be found in that material.
The Pierpot costume calls for some
thing really grotesque. In the picture,
gold oolored percaline is the foundation
material and the dots are big discs Of
black cut out and pasted on; but this
is the day Of wonderful cotton fabrics
and the most effective striped and
figured effects can be obtained at little
cost while il one is minded to 20 to
greater expense, silk or challis can be
used with good results. II one side Of
the suit is made Of red and dotted
with black and the other side Of black
dotted with red. the result is always
satisfactory and similar combinations
can be made Of quite different ma
terials and quite different oolors. The
aim is to produce something clownIike
and the more grotesque the material
the better the result. In place Of the
dots being used throughout, discs and
crescents can be combined and perhaps
the two give a somewhat better result.
Brilliant color is Of course sought and.
il pasting the dots or making effects OF
the sort seems too great labor. one OF
the effective cotton materials in Roman
stripes can be used throughout with the
frills and rosettes made Of plain ma
ferial in one q - ~-'------ -

LATEST NOTES FROM THE FASHION CENTERs

n IOTWlTHSTANDING all the
extreme conditions that have
prevailed for the past six weeks.
a generous number Of French models
have been received on these shores and
we are having exceedingly interesting
displays here in New York. If. as a
matter Of course, the number Of models
is not quite so large as commonly is
the case, the quality may fairly he said
TO compensate for the lack Of quantity
and every lover Of the beautiful will be
glad Of the tendencies Of the season.
As was to be expected when the long,
haring tunic became popular, circular
skirts are shown and many Of them
flare generously at the lower edge but.
while that is true. women generally are
not ready to depart from the lines that
have proved becoming and the gowns
Of moderate width that are so comfort
able to wear, and perhaps the most
important feature is the variety offered,
for It allows each one to be dressed in
the manner most becoming and most
satisfactory.
Unquestionably there Is greater full
ness in all skirts but materials are
wonderfully soft and pIiable and very
often this fullness Is used without ac-
centuating the effect Of width An
exceedingly beautiful costume from
Bechof-David which gives evidence Of
the fact Is made Of black velvet with
trimming Of natural fitch fur and let.
II consists Of a narrow skirt. the lower
edge Of which is covered by a wide let
fringe and over this skirt a tunic Of the
velvet that is generously wide, circular
at the back but shirred across the front
to make pretty fullness. while the
bodice clearly suggests the Moyen Age
idea without being in the least extreme
Il is perfectly plain, shaped to sug.
gest the cuirass. However the edge.
curve becominglY at the front and back
while, at the longest, il extends only
a few inches below the waist line. Il
is Of charmeuse satin entirely covered
with a network Of Jet. II Is sleeveless
