place of petticoats, and they do not resemble

OF course this fashion is going to have its

It is a sort of princess slip in which the upper
section is utilized for blouse. After the dress

impression of a petticoat.

lette is made entirely of satin, lavishly trimmed
with gold lace. and still another made up of

is going to be very useful for the dance.
Another of the new oddities is the reappear-
ance of the wide sleeves and have seen one
of the French models where the sleeves meas

slimness OF the upper part of the figure is kept
because the shoulders are extended to form

And, by the way the fur cuff is likely to be

the placement of the waist line is concerned

In the upper right hand corner is shown one
Of the new evening dresses in oldblue taffeta
and blue and silver lace. Everything about It
is new and most Characteristic of the things
that are TO be worn this season. There is the
oldfashioned bertha" with the line of the
shoulders, and little pointed bodice. The
skirt is draped up on each side, and is caught
with cluster of many colored flowers. A little
cap of blue lace is worn with 1t and puts a
finishing touch to the costume which really
carries the modern girl back to the time of
her dear grandmother
Stripes were worn last season, to be sure
but after all is there anything quite so start
ling and really good looking? On the left is a
startling coat Of black and white striped vel
vet, with black fox fur collar and cuffs and
wide band OF the same fur around the bottom
little black velvet hat with brilliant orange
ostrich pompon is worn with it.
Quite in line with the revival of a number OF
quaint, old-fashioned things are the pantalettes
From the day some seasons ago that the "ha-
rem gown" dawned upon us there has been a
strong urge toward this idea for women.
Whether the insistent, evergrowing demand OF
Votes for Women" has had anything to do
with this yearning for masculine shaped attire
do not know. But here let me remark in pass
ing that the gown is the oldest form OF dress

Z Jerry recently discussed the new "Top
" per Hats" which are decidedly meant
for the tailor-made girl. But here is
something also entirely new which the tailor
made maid cannot wear at all, and which is de-
signed especially for her fluffy sort" Of sister
It is the "Peek-a-Boo" hat and 1t can be
gotten up In any number of combinations of
materials-that is, nets and tulles combined
with satins or velvets. OF course, as one must
look through the visor, this must be of diapha-
nous material. They can be used for afternoon
wear, or, in more elaborate shapes, for the
evening.
The one illustrated in the centre of this page
is an afternoon hat OF black tulle and bronze
satin, with tall wisp Of citron ostrich at the
back. Don't you think these are comfortable
for a cold Winters day? For between this
young lady's high fur collar and the brim OF
her hat, which shields her nose, there IL not
much chance for old Jack Frost
The combinations for evening wear can be as
fairy-like or as gorgeous as is possible to con-
ceiye. For instance, a charming little cap of
brocade with little fare at the edge from
which drops pale pink net and this ends in a
broad band of silver just around the nose and
mouth. The effect is somewhat like the "yash-
max" which the Turkish ladies have made 80
