now is something practical, and the
skirt that is not voluminous answers
the demand perfectly. II is weara-

be most effective.
Corduroys and veIvets Brought Out by
Cold Weather.
Colder weather has brought soft
corduroys and velveteens. as we'll as

Dark but lustrous colors are liked,
such as lapis-lazuli blue. a beautiful

are seen, and the once very fashion,
able round boa is again introduced.
II ranks among the quite short and
the very long ties. There seems 10

taper to a point, and above the ends
are ribbons with very long looped
bows.
These ribbons may be OF different
colors to match the feather fantasia
of the hat, and two that are favor
ties in this connection are pewter
and mastic, both effective against
dark brown or black background.
Silver or gold edged ribbons are seen
also.

l have seen some very beautiful
bags with rarely fine clasps which
would last for all time. The upright
crystal knob with a dangling lustre
beneath it is a most effective fssten-

drawn at the base into cord orna-

tiny but perfectly chiselled metal
animals as fasteners-dogs and mon

new desire for dignity, even in such
possessions. There used to be a
feeling that women preferred trifles
that would not last. That phase has
quite passed away.
Velvet and Bead Ornaments for Neck
and Hair.
For the neck and the hair the.

and beads, including some old-fash-
Toned favorites revived in scale and
rice-shaped pieces of mother of pearl
sewn upon velvet to form flower foil

there is no need to wear elaborate
