Milady S Dressing Table

The exact form of dressing table
appointments must depend upon m
dividual taste and individual finance
Before buying such toilet articles it
is advisable to consider how mu CHI
time you can afford to give TO look
ing after their welfare, as nothing
looks much worse than a dressing
table on which are arranged toilet
things which plainly announce that
no attempt has been made TO pre-
serve their beauty.
Silver or sllver-plated dressing table
articles are exceedingly popular
and also exceedingly difficult 70
keep in good order. In any case, If
such things are chosen it is advisa Die
to have absolutely plain metal in pre-
ference to chased. 1t IS more e@-
pensive al the outset, but far more
economical in the end.
Ebony or ivory articles are much
simpler TO keep in good order If they
have not got silver initials on them.
In the case of the former, the utmost
care should be taken in buying, 70

in place of the real stuff. Do not Be
misled into believing that imitation

Separate coats will be very good, il
for no other reason than that they
will be the logical complement of the
one-piece dress. Up to the present
moment New York women have been
showing a preference for the coat of
about three-quarter length, made
with an exceedingly full lower sec
ton cut a trifie shorter in front than
at the back, says the Camden Courier
The belt is the proper accompani-
ment of such coats.
Sleeves are very varied in shape
The raglan is seen quite as often as
the set-in variety.
Collars are high, somewhat in mill
tary fashion, although there are coats
that cling to the broad collar and re
we're effects, that may be raised in
protection against cold weather and
biting winds.
Pockets have established themselves
as essential features of the separate
coats and Innings are either gay with
Powered patterns or sober in their
subdued monotones,

One may have serge or cheviot If she
wishes; they are in good taste al
ways and very practical as well.

The Turban Still Reigns

Turbans continue, if anything, more
popular than ever. Russian effects,
Scotch effects, various notched and
cornered styles and very long, severe
boat shaped models are smart. Large
sailors are worn for knockabout, and
huge f1aring Gainsboroughs are among
the dressy models, says an eX-
change.
FIR cloth is much used in the MAX
ing of smart turbans, combined with
dull. soft tinsel, panne velvet and
satin, also frequently combined with
felt.
Tinsel ornaments and tinsel braids
are used to bind brims and edge novel
fancies. Bandings of various widths,
edgings. cockades, bows, huge loops,
tassels and rabbits ears of fur are
all used as trimmings.
Frequently single flower Is used
in combination with fur. Metal roses
are favored for this purpose.
Some of the newest flowers have tur
petals or fur centres. All sorts of
tan trim fancies of peacock, ostrich,
cooue and burnt novelties are used
for trimming small turbans. Beaded
and spangled birds and ornaments
continue to be popular.

anything that has yet appeared for

Also there are broadcloths with a
