y who pitches on a cowboy hat of black panne velvet as an adjunct to Its khaki tones.
 Then there is another gown by BulloZ which is well known and which carries out his idea of using the Per sian tree of life as a means of or namenting the skirt. You may re- member that the sensational gown called "Griselidis" which was worn last season by Mary Garden when she sang the opera by that name, also had this symbolic Persian embroidery as its claim to fame
 Blazing Embroidery on Skirt.
 This new gown is of black tulle and satin, with slight cascades formed by rufiieS that go across the front of the figure and ripple down the sides; these rufiles are edged with silver ribbon, and they display, as though they were lifted curtain, the audacious and blazing embroidery on the front of the skirt. In the center, just where these curtain ruffles are lifted, there Is a huge Persian ornament that might have been worn by Haroun-al- -Raschid. This gown is for the few, not the many.
 It Is well that a woman should know most of the over-popular French mod els before sine spends money on clothes, because if she is ignorant of these par ticular expressions of the fashion by certain designers, she is apt to buy gown of which she will become ex- ceedingly weary before Christmas However, she is the only one who can judge whether or not she wants to wear what everyone else has, or something different
 The shops have copied most of the French models, and will sell the origi nals at any price they can AAaeEnd. The American copies arc sot e-ss~-t and are often more. adaptable to our so- cial life and activities than the origl nals. We have progressed so far in fashions that we take the French sill houette, a peculiar kind of material or trimming, high neck or long sleeve, and we make salad of our own of these ingredients. This is as it should be-
 The originality and inventiveness of our apparel people have been expended on the one-piece frock and topcoat. This is the fundamental fact that one gathers from reviewing all the clothes by all the people.
 There are frocKS that are warm enough for the street with a bit of fur or one of the swinging, army capes which have not been busted from fash ion by popularity.
 There are thin one-piece frocks that need a sturdy coat over them to give protection. There are afternoon frocks that may serve, as far as color and fabric go for restaurant and the ater frocks, with the addition of fur coat
 The tailored suit is not offered for any kind of ceremonial occasion. It is worn by the individualists and by those who feel that they are not com fortably dressed unless they are in this kind of conventional harness.
 One-Piece Frocks Popular.
 The girl who works, the woman who plays and the millionaire in Red Cross activities are different types of women who go in for the one-piece frock and get the variety which they insist they need in lie by adopting this kind of i costumix1y. Never before has there been such collection here of one-piece black vel vet gowns. They greet one at every glance of the eye. No ono has tried to make them portentious or unduly ornamental. The severe ones, which are the best ones, have the TOW ia nous. surplice bodice which is drawn across the bust and passed around the waist to tie in the back or brought for ward to tie in the front. The skirt has a bias tunic to give slimness, CT it is very slightly gathered and has an almost imperceptible inward curve at the hem.
 Velveteen is offered for serviceable 1 frocks, and chiffon velvet for indoor gowns.
 Beige colored frocks trimmed Wi h Kolinsky, putois and Hudson seal are common and yet altogether satisfying When these thin frocks have fur hems there is a velvet and fur coat that goes over them.
