No1U It's The
Medic'S Tam
MIllinerS Find
New Idea in Brussels:
Other Fashion Fods

In our shops there is a constant
blossoming of new ideas despite the
dearth of importatiOns to be had at
the present time. one Of these ideas
is an import in spirit though Ameri-
can in make and material. 1t is the
graceful velvet t2m-O'-shanter cap of
the Brussels medical student 1t is
entirely rimless, very full and exceed
ingly careless in effect Its effect de-
ponds, however, more upon the ad
justment Of the tam than upon the
tam itself. At a certain angle ii looks
very chic at another dOwdy. Another
millinery note is the revival of Os-
trich plumes. SO far these are quite
short, with very full heads, and are
arranged in groups of from two TO
four plumes upon each hat. With the
coming Of the plumeS there is more
than a mere suggestion of the velvet
picture hat with its broad brim modi-
fed.
The revival of ostrich tips and
plumes has extended 10 the boa, and
in the smartest shops are seen these
/ lovely fluffy boas that seem not one
whit different from those worn sew
eral years ago. Many of these bOas
are quite long, extending well below
the waist line. and are without Orna-
mentatiOn of any kind other than the
plumage itself. Queer little rufus that
| encircle the throat only are TO be
found in monkey fur. The fur Is
usually found only on the lower edge
Of the neck ruff, the top being made
of a crushed band or pleated ribbon.
This ribbon fastens closely about the
neck and ends in an irregular little
bow under the ear.
Monkey fur furnishes a decidedly
new note for the winter. While the
fashion is Partisan, of foreign origin,
there is no danger of our inability TO
carry it out, because this kind of fur
is offered by South America. Monkey
fur is 10 be used on the edge of wired
tunicS and even upon the lower edges
of girdles When applied in the lat
ter fashion il resembles, to a grew
some extent, an Indians scalp belt.
Bands of seal are TO be found upon
the TUNES of evening gowns, and it is
possible that il will ornament some OF
the heavier materials for street wear
| in the same fashion-that is the
tunic.
am sure you will be delighted with
the odd handbags of leather, upon
which is a finish like unto greenlsh
copper shaded so as to look like the
| veritable metal. They are in ODD
| shapes. and the leather is beautifully
| floral designs. No one can deny that
they are works of art. and the inn
preston is such at first glance.
Silk suitings are being shown In
our shops. and they are weaves that
| closely resemble worsteds. One in par
ticular is sure to meet with popular
approval - the shepherd check in
black and white. This can be pro-
cured in all silk or in silk and cotton.
Later it may be obtained in silk and
wool 1t has a rough surface and the
crossed weave is plainly discernible-
1t is excellent material for the ser
viceable suit.
Have you seen the high sandels?
Perhaps you will recognize them if
call them sandal boots. They come
very far up the leg, about twice as
, high as the average Shoetop, having
an open front fastened by little cross
straps of leather, buttOned at regular
intervals of about an inch and quar-
ter. One particularly gay pair Of
| boots has upon il a turquoise buckle
| halfway up its length. Cloth-top
shoes are quite the smartest in foot
wear for well-dressed conservatives.
| The tops are in various weaves, de-
signs and colors; according to ones
| frock or taste. Shoetops are higher
| than last season. having frequently
IL buttons set rather we'll apart.
/ was charmed some weeks ago
with the pretty color note afforded by
the single rose that nestles at the
collar of the high-necked frOck or the
/ street suit. and was pleasantly sur
prised in my shopping trip to find ar
tifcial flowers arranged in cOrsage
( bouquets for afternoon and evening
| gowns. and arranged in decorative
| fashion upon the skirts of frocks and
| clusters of them upon the shoulder
! The flowers. when well blended with
| the frock or carefully cOntrasted. are
an enhancement that one cannot af-
/ ford TO do without.
