LATEST FASHION NOTES

THE Paris models are here and on
exhibition. Such wonderful
= effects of color, such marvellous
handling of materials and such evil
dence of infinite taste and discretion,
it would be difficult to describe. There
is nothing radically new, if in fact
it is amazing to note that when the
first impression is that of beautiful
novelty, analysis reveals the fact that
there are wonderful adaptations
without number, variations Of many
sorts but that there is nothing really
radically new in these French designs
To be sure, we shall be broad at the
hips, draped skirts have returned, but
we have had evidence of those for some
time. There are great many plain
bodices, but the feature that makes
the greatest impression upon the OBJ
server is the wonderful power of pro-
ducing novelty with comparatively
limited number Of actual designs.
The straight, gathered skirt, for ex-
ample, appears so variously treated
and rendered so wonderfully beautiful
I, hat it is hard to realize that it is one
and the same. An exquisite evening
gown, is made with that skirt of rose
c,lored chiffon overlaid with the
richest gold lace to knee depth. An
afternoon costume is of brown velvet
with chiffon and shows the skirt
straight around the bottom and
straight at the top, but cut out at
sides and back to reveal succession
of deep V-shaped insets of the chiffon
and cut off at the front to allow yoke
of the thinner material. A fascinating
frock for young girl, sent over by
Jenny, is of taffeta with straight
skirt shirred to form it's own girdle and
trimmed with two narrow plaitings of
of the silk, set one at about knee depth
and one over the hips. An evening
gown from Doeuillet is made Of salmon
cofored rose silk with still the gathered
skirt, but in this instance, bound at it's
lower edge with silver braid and worn
with low little bodice, pointed over
the skirt at front and back and adorned
with silver embroidery, and wherever
one turns there is some such effect to
be seen. The skirt that is full in one
way or in another and open at the
front to reveal narrow portion of
skirt beneath, also is favorite and
wonderfully beautiful too in the French
models. An exquisite costume is made
of gray faille, combined with chiffon
of the same color, embroidered with
silver and arranged over pink chiffon.
The skirt is very full, laid in success
sion of narrow plaits at the belt which
meet at the back and form narrow
box-plait over each hip. 1t is just

DELTED coats make most inter-
- esting feature of the autumn and
winter styles and they are to be
found in almost limitless variations.
Here are two examples, one in simple
Norfolk style, adapted to general wear,
while the other can be made a dressy
model adapted to afternoon needs, or
a simple one as it is made of one ma
terial or another, treated in one way
or another. In the illustration, the
Norfolk coat and the accompanying
skirt are made from checked gabar-
dine and gabardine, besides being
fashionable, is durable and most
satisfactory material. The coat is
quite novel, for the pockets are fin
ished with laps that are turned over
the belt. The skirt is made with plaits
at each side and is joined to plain
yoke, and this yoke forms point at
each side which meets the center of
the plaits. 1t is very effective model
and also simple one and the entire
costume is one adapted to the needs
Of the home dressmaker. Suitable
materials are many, but gabardine and
serge may safely be said to take first
place, although frieze is being much
used, but the plaid and checked gabar-
dimes are distinctly new and in every
way attractive. The second costume
is designed for young girls and for
small women with girlish figures. In

the illustration, it is made from broad
cloth in tan color and is trimmed with
brown fox fur. The combination is
very handsome one and the suit is one
adapted to afternoon visits and all
occasions of the sort, but it could be
copied in frieze or in Scotch home
spun with braid trimming in place OF
the fur, to become prosaically useful,
while Tor afternoon occasions, it ap-
propriately could be made up in wool
yelours kittens ear cloth or any similar
material as we'll as in the broadcloth
illustrated and it also makes a good
model for velvet, and for the fine vel
veteen that will be much worn through
out the season. The coat is per-
fectly simple one hanging loose from
the shoulders, with patch pockets. The
skirt shows plaits at each side Of the
front and each side OF the back but
is joined to a plain yoke that does
away with all fulness at the waist
line and over the hips. The fur about
the throat is exceedingly fashionable,
but nevertheless it is not always COM
Portable or satisfactory. If preferred,
this coat may be finished with straight
collar and this collar can be buttoned
up about the throat when the day is
cold, or rolled over with the fronts
to form lapels when it is mild, and the
collar that can be adjusted is always
variable one in changeable climate.

slightly draped at the sides and it is
open from six to eight inches at the
front. The front and the lower edges
are embroidered with silver and the
under-skirt Of the gray chiffon is en-
riched with silver applique and over
the pink foundation, it makes Won
derfully exquisite effect. The bodice
gives another evidence Of the French
adaptability, for it is really simple
kimono in shape, but the right side
is of the silk and the left is OF the
chiffon and they are so exquisitely
embroidered and handled that only
the closest scrutiny reveals the sim
plicity of cut and of shaping.
This is season of wonderful fabrics.
Many of them are so rich and so
handsome, that, to trim, would be to
destroy. Worth, who is ever the
master in evening costumes, fully
realizes this fact. One OF. his hand
soonest gowns for evening wear, is
of black velvet combined with rose
pink satin of most exquisite shade.
The skirt of black velvet is quite plain
at the front, but extends up to form
a bib-like bodice. At the back, it also
extends little above the waist line
and, at the sides are arranged two
jabot-like cascades that are lined with
the pink. The bodice is made entirely
of net, formed of rather heavy silk
threads with a rhinestone at each
crossing. Over the hips, are arranged
ornaments of jet and rhinestones that
apparently hold the cascaded sides in
place. The back forms long, sweep-
ing train that is lined with the pink,
but the ornaments over the hips are
the only trimming arranged upon the
skirt. Its beauty is dependent en-
tirely upon the exquisite fabrics. and
the wonderful color effects.
Everything that is quaint and pic
turesque is having it's day. For de-
butante, is a fascinating little dancing
frock of American Beauty taffeta.
draped at the sides to give pannier
effect and with the drapery held in
place by punches of roses and with
little square neck bodice that extends
Just an inch or two over the skirt and
IS buttoned right down the front. 1t
is held at the shoulders with bows of
ribbon and there is little drapery of
the chiffon that forms most be-
coming tucker. but of sleeves, there
are none and the roses, let it be men
toned, are one of white, one blue and
one pink in each group. Taffeta
richly embroidered with silver and
flower effects, is made up by Arnold
into a wonderful costume, somewhat
similar in general effect. but draped

Of the season.
Dancing frocks continue to be quite
short, but there is a notable tendency
toward the use of trains for evenin,
and for dinner costumes.
Street costumes show coats Of ma -

of Doeuillet again, is made OF SIT

at front and back and gathered at tn.

Muffs are really fascinating. In
to match the special costume and \
of material trimmed with the fur.
For the street suit of cheviot Just
mentioned, is fascinating one OF
black faillc, full and soft and
finished with double ruffles at
the ends, and with caracul bands
set under these frills 20 finish
the openings, while they are really
most delightful tassels of gray fur with
black ribbon and silver braid that
gives most fascinating finishing
touch. As matter of course. the fur
muffs Will be much used, but those
made OF material for the special cos
tune with which they are to be worn.
also are to have great vogue, and, in
many instances, they are exceedingly
beautiful. A set, consisting Of toqu,.
a muff and neck piece, seen to-day, Is
for example, made of brown velvet
combined with rich and heavy gold
lace, and with the brown costume, it
makes most exquisite effect. Melon
shaped muffs are having great vogue
too and the melon shape lends itself to
materials with sin yular success, while
for thu more dressy muffs. all sorts
of fancy arrangements, ruffles. frill'
and what-nots are greatly in vogue.
A charming one is, for example, made
entirely OF scant rufles, of grosgrain
ribbon. edged with satin, while at the
center. there is Just a little strip OF
gold lac, ribbon edged with one inch
wide skunk fur There is close fit
ting toquc or turban to match with
the same bands Of gold ribbon edged
with the fur set around the brim and

ness, the hat is held by band OF tn
gold ribbon which passes under tn
chin and is finished at the left side
with fiat little bow.

THE MILDLY blouse that is shocked
in place of being simply gathered
4 and which is supplied with ample
pockets, makes one of the most fash
ionable simple garments of the season.
This costume shows it made OF
white serge, worn over a skirt of blue
and trimmed with blue. 1t is exceed
ingly attractive and it is exceedingly
practical. but the whole costume can
.5of course be copied in blue serge, or,
the shocked MILDLY could be copied
in serge or crepe de chine or in any
suitable material, to be worn over an
odd skirt and one Of crepe de chine
isgreatly liked for such use. 1t is made
up both in white and in blue. The
skirt is in three pieces with the front
edres he1nmed and over-lapped.
