SCARFS OF TULLE AND BEADS
Flesh coIored Material Affords Attrae.
tive Evening Wear 40 Does
Black With Jet.

There are wonderful scarfs Of flesh
colored tulle and bead embroidery for
evening wear, says fashion writer,
the tulle foundation almost invisible
over decOlletage save where the folds
deepen and the fine tracerles of crystal
run riot In the border and on the ends.
Black tulle with Jet Is used for other
exquisite scarfs more delicate In effect
than those Of other seasons, and in
some cases both flesh color and black
scarfs are SO cut that they have
suggestion Of deep cape form around
back and shoulders, though they have
the usual straight wide scarf ends.
For the hair ornaments to be worn
with evening toilettes one must choose
the thing that Is most becoming, but
there Is variety from which to choose.
The fine jeweled band Of filet across
the forehead IL as popular as ever, but
with high.piled hair combs have come
into their own again and one sees
some extremely effective high Golf
fures with jeweled combs of Spanish
allure. Small jeweled combs often
hold the strands of hair, too, after a
time of frowning upon such effects,
and there are, Of course, many auda-
ciOus egret arrangements, though this
sort of thing seems less common with
evening cOiffure than II Is In some sea.

Next to the natural shape 0f the fox
pelt, with head, tail and legs, square
capes and straight. wide scarfs Of
medium length, ore the best-liked
styles In fur neck-pieces. This II only
a general and rather vague description
Of the great variety of fashionable
neck-pieces that smart women find in
dispensable in all climates. They nre
as much liked to throw about the
shoulders ut indoor affairs, after coats
have been taken Off, as for outdoor
wear.
One Of the cleverest new scarfs IL
made Of Hudson seal, and is about a
yard and half long and In the neigh
bOrhOOd Of fifteen inches wide. At
each end of the scarf there Is a small
pocket, hardly observable, but quite
equal to keeping the hands warm.
Along the edge Of the scarf, on one
side, there Is a band of martin fur,
four inches wide. 1t Is only half as
long as the scarf and therefore does
not reach to the ends on either side.
It protects the back Of the neck and
proves q becoming addition to this nov
el neck-plece.
Another novelty In the same comb
nation is n short sleeveless mantle of
sealskln with wide shawl collar OF
martin. The mantle Is merely u square
cape ut the back and front, Joined ut
the shoulders.

SATIN HATS, SPRING STYLE
Touches Of Hieh.coIored Braid and
Combinations Of Velvet Promise
to Be Quite the Vogue.

For early spring wear, according to
the bulletin of the Retail Millinery
Association of America, the opinion is
expressed that satin hats with touches
of braid i'm high colors, or satin hats
combined with velvet, will be quite the
vogue.
For immediate use white hats are
coming to the fore. Sometimes they
are Of white satin combined with white
panne velvet while others show white
satin with facngs of black velvet.
White bengaline Il material that has
not been used for some time, is COM
ing back into style. II Is seen i'm hats
made entirely of this material as well
as in hats that combine bengalne with
black velvet facings. All of the benga-
line hats seen are tailored effects, and
are trimmed with seal fur, balls, POM
poms and bands.
Bustle hats In white panne velvet
with gold trimmings are seen, as are
white panne velvet shapes, combined
with silver cloth and trimmed with
small silver flowers.
The bulletin also says that fur and
fur combination hats are doing well in
the high-prlced goods, while in cheaper
hats there Is u demand for French
helmet effects in panne velvet COM
bined with satin in white and colors.
Nutria fur is used to decorate the
edges.

People are flOcking South In winter
like the birds. Railroads have anpihi-
lated distance so that the journey be-
tween lands Of snow and lands of sun
is measured by few hours. The Won
der Is that anyone who can possibly
help 1t endures the sting of Northern
winters for months and months, espe-
cially as the genial South has many al
lurements besides its climate. Among
them are the smart clothes that the
fair Southern tourist INDUCES in.
This business of furnishing apparel
for winter tourists wear has become
an important factor In establishing
fashions and all wOmanhood is inter-
ested In the parade of styles at Palm
Beach, Coronado and other centers
where people of wealth assemble. The
best things that money can buy are
seen in these places and they tone up
the dress of women all over the land.
For instance, the hat and bag to

one of many beautiful matched sets
made In anticipation of the demand
for smart and novel dress accessories
which comes into rush just about

SPATS POPULAR FOR WINTER
Caters Over Ties and Pumps Were In
Pronounced Majority at Horse
Show In New York.

Spats are going to be worn again
this winter. II indications ut the horse
show Mt Madison Square Garden are
to be followed, says WOmen's Wear.
Ties and pumps were almost the only
types Of footwear seen, accompanied
In nearly every case by spats.
There were few laced boots Of
dark tan with lighter tops, and one
young girl wore tan oxford and worst
ed stockings In a gray heather mixture.
Gray, almost bordering on rose taupe,
was the keynote of this entire cos.
tune, one of the smartest there.
The suit was Of gray duvetyn; the
skirt plain, the coat knee length and
gathered In by loose belt of the ma
terial. The small toQue was of the
same material, with short visor eff
feet. There was no trimming on either
hat or suit, but taupe fox scarf was
thrown across the shoulders.

Some Pretty Trimmings.

Trimmings seen on silk and satin
blOuses include narrow tucks, colored
pipings, and many buttons. Gold
stitching and steel bead embroidery
showed up attractively on waists Of
georgette. while deep cream geor.
gette had yellow china beads sewn
on in rows, instead Of following u
floral or conventional pattern.
Navy blue Is less seen on coats this
season than Is usual.

verely tailored.

the future.

All draperies should fall In perpen-
dicular folds.
Tailored shirts favor the masculine
shirt bOsOms.
Bustles or hustle effects are increas-
Ing In number.
Many of the smartest frocks have
Chinese embroidery.
Blouses are showing necks elliptical
instead Of round.
Black velvet and white duvetyn are
charming together.

In the group of neck-pieoes shown
above, It will be noticed that short
tails Of fur, along with legs and claws,
have returned to favor as finish ;
also that neck-pieces are scarfs that
look like capes, or capes that look like
scarfs, lending themselves to casual
adjustment that is cOnsidened very
chic. The square cape Of kolinsky ut
the left has a narrow fiat collar Of the
same fur. The scarf ut the center is
Of Hudson seal with fox collar. At
the right longer fiat scarf Is shown,
and this Is developed in fox fur. 1t is
liked for all the rarer furs as well as

Christmas time or Immediately utter
the holidays. OF course milady of
fashion Is accompanied everywhere by
her knitting bag, and she may have
several of these indispensables made
to wear with several hats. This set
will be just as appropriate In the North
as In the South. The small hat Is of
black taffeta and is simple affair,
shirred over cords. 1t Is faced with a
color and bound about the edge with
gold braid. The small blossoms applied
to II are made of ribbon and are lovely
examples of millinery art.
The bag, in the shape Of an Old-fash-
Toned basket, is made In the same way
and its lining matches that of the
hat. Its handles are of the gold braid
lined with silk and it is flower-trimmed
like the hat with ribbon flowers. The
shape Is happy thought of the de-
signer giving quaint flavor of old
times to most up-tO-date accessory.

SAVING or FABRIC.
Conservation Idea Carried Out by
the wrapped" Skirt.
New style Feature Can Only Be Used
to Advantage In Connection With
BustIe Silhouette.

Two style features Of the season are
portrayed in the sketch here shown
One is the wrapped" skirt and the
other is the hustle silhouette. These
two are really properly shown together.
inasmuch as the wrapped" skirt with
out the aid of the hustle flare would be
rather too narrow and close reefed,
whereas topped with the hustle very
attractive silhouette is the result.
The wrapped skirt is of necessity

Alteration Is Denied.

The familiar charge that artists who
Illustrate stories pay no attention to
the text they illustrate Is grossly un.
true, declares the Kansas City Star.
We know young author who wrote q
story in which man with long whis.
kers got wound up in an electric fan.
The illustrator might have ignored the
fan altogether, but he didn't. The only
detail he omitted was the whiskers.
and the picture of the man with a
smooth face tangled up In the fan was
declared masterpiece by the artists
family.
