wooden dress of serge, broadcloth or
velvet with one of these capes is
quite enough protection from the
cold. The cape-collar in the sketch
or pelerine as ii is sometimes called
fastens at the side instead of in the
front as the majority of them do.
1t is laced with heavy cord or gros-
grain ribbon from the high standing
collar to the point of the cape. The
mellon-shaped muff that goes with
| this collar is one of the most popu-
lar models for the winter. A band
of fur encircles it in the center. OF
black velvet or plush banded with
skunk this set would be decidedly
stunning and could be worn with
dress or suit of any color.
The vogue of these shoulder capes
is so great that there seems to be an
endless variety of them. While some
of them just cover the shoulders,
others reach the waist line, and
| some go even below it, Hudson seal
| is one of the favored furs for them,
and is often effectively combined
with ermine; perhaps a collar or
., just a band around the neck gives
| the necessary contrast. Kolinsky,
mole and taupe are other furs en-
ployed for these charming sets. In
| great many instances there will be
another addition to these sets in the
shape of hat, generally a tam-o'-
shanter or turban. Hats, it is not
iced, have not escaped the craze for
| fur. There are many turbans entire
| ly of fur and numerous hats of other
styles on which fur appears as
trimming.
| Fur banding as trimming on
dresses is no less popular than it was
last winter. 1t seems to have a place
allotted to it on every dress and ap-
pears with equal persistency on the
elaborate gown for evening and on
the daytime frocks.
Plaids for Dresses and Waists
Among the new dress materials
plaid silks and plaid woolens are
quite prominent. In developing most
frocks the plaid is frequently COM
| bined with a plain material match
ing either the background or the
stripe in the plaid, as in the model
| illustrated here. This dress shows
the popular surplice overblouse and.
loose panel at the front and back of
| the skirt. The overblouse is finished
at the side with large square buck
lie, and the tiny surplice vest of fine
Georgette crepe is picot edged. The
band of fur on the skirt is placed
at the sides only instead of all
around, illustrating one of the new
est arrangements which is worthy
of note.
Plaid silks are in demand not
only for dresses but for separate
are very attractive worn with dark
suit skirts, and many other charm
ing plaid combinations are to be
seen. Silks with Persian and orien-
tai designs are also being used for
separate waists. This idea has pro-
badly sprung up with the popular
ity of the Indian shawl, which has
been revived and used largely to
trim dresses and hats. Silks imita-
ting the designs used in these rare
old shawls have been manufactured
for this special purpose.
So strong is the Indian influence
that the new dress trimmings show
these colors and designs in embroi-
dered landings and motifs. The rich
colorings are wonderfully attractive
and heighten the beauty of many a
dress. Wool and silk floss embroi-
deries in colors continue to be as
much of craze as ever The metal
lie embroideries in steel, silver and
gold are also being employed freely
by the great Partisan designers.
Some dresses are worked all over
most deliberately while in the plain
er dresses for informal wear only
touch of embroidery is necessary to
give the proper chic.
