A word on New York styles says
that bright cerise spats were worn at
a dansant at an exclusive club recent
ly: that satin is going to be good for
morning wear, and especially good for
sport clothes; that loose side panels
in blouses are much in favor; that
fancy waistcoats and vestees of en-
broidery and brocade are fashionable;
that big tassels are used to finish
sRshes; chat turquoise shades, peacock
and jade are good; that diaphanous
scarfs that must complete every smart
evening gown, are fastened to the
arm with wristlets of ribbons or metal.
We are on. One of the pretty
gowns at the Burrow party this week
had the tulle scarf caught at the
wrists with silver bracelets, and prac-
scarf of the same or sharply con-
trasting color. Many of the new
frocks that have been displayed at the
evening parties are of the latest
shades of blue, turquoise being eSpec-
tally popular here. The side panels
of lace for bodices made their appear
ance here recently, and except for the
eerise spats. we are not notch be
hind New York, measured by the stan
dard of their latest bulletin.
