How About the Petticoat?
Has the petticoat returned in all its
old-time fluffiness and rustic, to add
to the bouffancy and charm of the full
skirt. or have the dainty pantalettes,
introduced quietly and cautiously at
the beginning of the season, entirely
usurped its place in the hearts of we'll
dressed women? One must admit that
the soft. frilly pantalette, or trouser-
petticoat. is delightfully."- practical as
we'll as fascinating. The full skirt may
billow and blow in the wind to it's
hearts content with no affront to
modesty. These pantalette petticoats
when worn with the tailored skirt or
frock are usually in the same tone as
the costume, trimmed with self ruffles
corded, fringed or pleated. For even.

New York, Nov. 26.-Christmas is
in the air! We are reminded of its
nearness at every street corner; even
the most matter-of-fact among us must
feel its spirit and anticipate its cheer.
Safe and sane Christmas shopping has
been preached for ages, but, neverthe-
less, each year sees the same crowd
in the shops and hears the same ques-
ton on every side, What shall give
for Christmas?" 1t is easily answered
this year if the intended recipient is
feminine. There are all sorts of wear
ables that may be laid at the dainty
maids door on Christmas morning to
be received with little EXPLANATIONS
of delight.
The Shoppers Costume.
If one has time to tarry a moment
or two at the main entrance of one of
the big shops on one of these busy

One of the most graceful sleeves Of
all is the gauntlet with wide, tight
fitting cuff, flaring slightly over the
hand. The ugliest hand in the world
must gain in grace with such cuff.
The full gathered sleeves are particu-
larly graceful and pretty in the trans
parent fabrics now so much favored
for sleeves in all sorts of frocks.
The serge coat dress is general
favorite for shopping and street wear.
A particularly chic model is made with
long, pointed tunic, gauntlet sleeves,
high collar and novel surplice clos
ing Blue serge trimmed with small
braid-covered buttons and loops and a
wide band of Hercules braid edging
the tunic is the most attractive COM
bination.

afternoons, they will have revelation
in clothes. Serge rules in the matter
of suits and simple frocks; furs are
much in evidence and never have we
had a season when they were so be-
coming and so much within the reach
of all pocketbooks. There are wide
soft sollars and cuffs; small round
muffs, and any number of other acces-
series which may be made at home If
desired, and added to the suit of serge
to enhance its charm and style.
Scarcely suit or frock, passing in and
out on its Christmas mission but
shows this touch of fur; braid, too, is
having its day on tunic and coat; one
cannot but remark the wonderful va
riety in collars and sleeves. The ma
jority OF the suits show the high col
lar, and many of the dresses, too, al.
though one often glimpses beneath
