Washington shops are showing an
amazing display of winter fashions.
The variety of models and the distinc-
tive smartness which characterizes
them makes it possible for the most
critical of Washington women to find
satisfaction in their home city. The
,reasonableness of this seasons prices
is another powerful inducement toward
buying at home.
There are some lovely blouses to be
had in the new combinations of silk
or velvet and georgette crepe. The
model illustrated is very faithful
copy of one of the prettiest of imported
creations, attractive for dress occa-
sions. 1t illustrates the popular use OF
orange and black, now SO much IN
vogue OF orange crinkled chiffon, 1t
is hand in black silk. The
chin -chin collar is of black chinon
velvet edged with gold lace. Black
taffeta ribbons are shirred in double
row at the belt. giving the blouse an
unusual and effective finish. and this
trimming is repeated at the cuffs.
Another smart color combination Is in
navy and burgundy. Navy taneta Is
used for the set-in yoke with points.
the bodice effect at the front and back,
and pointed cuffs piped in velvet. Bur-
gundy georgette crepe richly embroid-
cred in navy forms the foundation ma
terial The novel feature of the waist
is the buttoned back. Then there is a
striking model in heavy navy char
meuse. with a vest of fesh-colored
satin and a tucked band around both
blouse and sleeve of the charmeuse. A
high French collar and cuffs with rows
of self-covered buttons are new and at
tractive. Black is very smart for
tailleur blouses, and appears in the new
taffetas with a satin stripe.
The new skating dress is illustrated.
1t is of clinging navy crepe de chine.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
| NEW YORK, November 16.-Versailles
| had a strong influence on the fashions
| this season. There were quite few
straws in the early summer to show thai
| those in whose hands the destinies OF ap-
i parel rested, were inclined toward the
gorgeous period that prefaced the French
| revolution.
| They had touched upon the fashions
of that other stormy epoch of French his
tory, the second empire, but they did not
intend to stay there; any one who knew
the various experimental touches couio
tell from what direction the wind blew.
Early in the spring there were gowns
that were called Victorian, or civil war,
which were really copies of portraits that
hang in Versailles. Brocades, metal laces,
looped skirts, deep square decollete bod
ices, were not part and parcel OF the
Victorian days; they came nearer the
portraits Of our own colonial beauties.
These fashions have developed strong
ly each week. Skirts are more and more
looped to resemble panniers, petticoats
are more elaborate and visible, waists are
not altogether pointed IN front; they nave
taken on that straight line from bust 10
an elongated waist line that was typical
of the later Bourbons.
There are also many combinations of
pink and blue, with dashes of silver lace
and vast variety of flowers. So far.
the hair has not been powdered, but the
coiffure has been slowly but securely
drawn back from the forehead, to show
the line of growth of the hair.
Worth's Dance Frocks.
Worth has built a frock for dancing
which is far away from the clothes of
the near past. 1t would not have been
considered last winter. Orientalism has
held sway so long that it would have
looked meaningless, milk-and- -waterish.
1t is of pink taffeta, the very soft
kind, over a petticoat of pink tulle.
The plating in front holds in the full
ness, as do the panniers at the sides.
The bodice has a square decolletage
with a surplice effect beneath gained
through the management of the SILK.
There are bands of bright blue velvet
ribbon over the shoulders and a band
of pink roses across the bust. The
dropped sleeves of pink tulle are
weighted by rose.
It seems strange. doesn't it. that in an
era so bloody and passionate we should
be adopting clothes that are sugges-
tive of all the frivolities, of all the
light touches of life; ephemeral, effer-
yescent clothes that are as colorful, as

crepe The underskirt and tunic are Of
accordian-plaitedg georgette. edged with
bands of the velvet. An insert of silver
lace gives a quaint touch to the bodice
and a white georgette chemisette re-
lieves the coloring at the throat. A
girdle of the velvet is loosely draped
about the waist line. The two ends.
which are allowed to hang. are finished
off with fur.
Against the background of the dark
