PARIS. December 20.

there IL a general rush for the
south. Every one has had enough
Of London fogs and Paris mists:
every one feels the need Of fresh air and
sunshine. OF course the Riviera season
is not really at It's height before tho
middle of March. but very early in
January most Of the villas at Monte
Carlo and Nice are occupied.
have this week been gancine at
some pretty dress novelties which were
specially prepared for the Riviera sea-
son. These dainty items Of the femi-
nine toilet were almost all freely
trimmed with bands Of fur. for It b
quite a mistake to suppose that SUM-
shine always spells warmth on the
Mediterranean coast At Nice and
Monte Carlo furs are very necessary in
the months Of January. February and
the early part Of March; In the evenings
ono Is glad Of really heavy fur wrap
because Of the inistral.
Some Of the new fancy stoles and
NUTS are full Of subtle charm; for ex-
ample. a dainty set which consisted Of
a long scarf Of pure white molleton bor-
dered with white fox and lined with pale
Parma violet taffeta. The tie was gath
cred In Just where one end was thrown
back over the shoulder and q largo
bunch of exquisitely realistic Parma
violets was attached to these gathers.
The mum was OF the bolster shape and
quite supple. When drawn out to its
full length II measured one yard and a
quarter, but when carried in the hand
the folds Of snowy material fell together
in fascinating style. The narrow ends
OF the nun were bordered with white
fox and on the front there was a large
bow OF white MORE ribbon which held
in place another bunch Of Parma vio-
lets. The lining OF the mum was similar
to that of the scarf.
Another set of the same order was
composed Of Egyptian blue chiffon VEL
vet bordered with taupe colored mara
bout The scarf was very long and
rather narrow: 1t was lined with shot
gauze which showed shades of blue,
gray and silver. The nun was almost
square. The borders of fur at either
side were wide and at one corner there
vas q cluster Of very dark red. almost
black. velvet dahlias; a similar flower
was tucked away into the folds OF the
scarf just under the left ear.
These fancy sets are very suitable
for afternoon wear at the Casino con.
Certs. They are worn with smart tai.
lored suits or with little gowns Of black
or dark blue charmeuse. The Pari-
siennes are very clever at draping long
scarfs of velvet or other material They
draw the long ends forward over the
shoulders and dispose of them under
the arms in a coquettish manner. Pure
white ermine scarfs are always correct
for Riviera wear at all seasons OF the
year. In fact II Is true that the warmer
the days become the more attractive
ermine appears. 1t Is at it's best on
glorious midsummer day when seen
in conjunction with Il fairylike gown in
pure white lace or chiffon.
One Of the leading Partisan milliners
il making a speciality Of little hats COM
posed Of pure white velvet or white
MORE. These hats are deliciously
dainty and becoming. They have, as
rule. narrow brims and these brims are
quite fiat. The crowns are supple and
in some cases domed exactly like the
crown Of a mans bowler hat.

nary than white velvet or MORE.
with simple tailored suits Of navy
serge white MORE hats give a charm
Ing effect, and the white note may be
continued in the channels gloves and on
the CATERS of the little patent leather
shoes. English women are very fond
OF wearing white channels gloves which
have important looking gauntlets. Such
gloves are distinctly decorative, but the
Parisiennes do not consider them quite
suitable for street wear even at the
seaside. With them gloves which boast
stiff gauntlets are only suitable for pur-
poses of sport.
Navy blue satin hats in the shape
above described will also be very pop
ular this spring. They will he SUI
ficiently large to come well down over
the hair, but the fiat brim will he mar

Yesterday afternoon ! saw a sensa-
tonal afternoon gown which had been
created for one Of Pariss prettiest ac-
tresses who is going to spend Christ
mas at Monte Carlo. The material was
chiffon velvet in a warm shade Of beige
and the skirt was deliberately draped at
the sides. There was a long, very loose
Russian blouse coat, bordered with Loop
ard skin, and this coat was banded In
over the hips by an extraordinary belt
made Of golden brown suede leather
thlckly embroidered with silk and small
porcelain beads. The colors Of the en-
broidery were those OF the leopard skin,
and the buttons, which were exagser-
atedly large, were topazes trimmed In
cut Jet.
The coat opened over a waistcoat Of
pure white linen; there was high roll
over linen collar, and the waistcoat was
fastened with small cut Jet buttons. An
Immense nat mum OF leopard skin lined
with black satin accompanied tho COS
tune. and the nat brimmed hat was In
black silk beaver with an enormous
