For it looks as if ostrich feathers are

ming. It is quite remarkable how the
slender silhouette is emphasized by
these chin-enclosing collars. Their use
gives a distinctly new outline to the
figure in a very clever manner. The
low-lying collars, so long a feature Of
our clothes, would, If used with the
widened hip, tend to give the entire
figure a broadened appearance. AS
this would be anything but attractive,
we have the high collar.
Nearly all Of these standing collars
are made of long-haired pelts. notably
fox and "chevre-de-mongolie," as the
fur of the now fashionable Monaghan
goat is called. Pure white fox collars
made in the standing style are worn
with elaborate afternoon dresses Of
black velvet; cross fox collars trim
dull metal crepe dresses and even the
priceless silver fox is shOrn of his head
and tail to make these straight, round
outstanding collars; all Of which goes
to show how far fashion reaches. Even
the beasts of the forest must conform
thereto.
Corresponds With Lining Of Coats.
A Paris fashion which bids fair to
become immensely popular is that of
having a dress made to correspond ex-
actly with the lining of the coat or
mantle with which it is worn. The
scheme is carried out in both after
noon and evening toilettes. This plan
of having q dress to match every coat
lining or a coat lined to match every
dress bids fair to become one Of the
marked extravagances of the season.
One of the prettiest developments
Of this idea is simple crepe de chine
dress made almost in lingerie style
and worn with full length coat lined
with the same crepe de chine that
forms the dress. A smart costume
seen recently consisted Of a brown
duvetyn coat, cut on very simple lines,
and a lovely copper-colored crepe de
chine frock which matched the lining
of the coat. The frock, made with
side-pleated founces, was ornamented
with drawn threads and hand en-
broidery. The coat, when opened,
with it's exactly matching lining Of
the unprecedented crepe de chine, also
adorned with the drawnwork and hand
embroidery, gave the appearance Of
the unfolding Of the wings Of great
moth or copper-colored butterfly.

1oiIettes.

In our grandmothers' days it took
years to make fashion-now one sea-
son sees a new style established,
writes a Paris fashion correspondent.
The cycle of fashion turns SO rapidly
nowadays and in its revolving reveals
so many types Of clothes that every
woman has plenty Of opportunity of
seeing her own particular taste repre-
scented. There is not b fancy in dress
that we may not some time or another
indulge to the fullest. Last season
the woman who loved gay headgear
might satisfy her taste for bright COL
OTIS and quantities of trimming to her
hearts content; this season she who
prefers more subdued hats will have
AN equal opportunity Of shopping for
her favorites with the certainty that
fashion has provided them for her in
abundance.
The smartly dressed woman wears
black hat this winter, and let us thank
heaven and the modistes that there is
lat least one article of dress that we
may buy with the comforting assur-
=ance that we are being economical
the black hat is an economy, for it
may be worn with a frock Of any COL
or. Following closely on the heels of
the fashion for black hats are those Of
'tete de negre and new copper color
known as cuivre or chaudron. The
great demand, however, is for black
hats.
Velvet Faverite Material for Sailors.
Panne velvet is the favorite material
from which to evolve medium sailors
with shaped brims and smartly draped
crowns. while plush and satin are
sdraped into round turbans, some Of
which are set to a shaped head band
to give the effect Of little brim. These
are more becoming than the brimless
turban. A summer favorite that con-
tinues in popularity and will not hes
1tate to make its appearance wherever
:smartly dressed women are congre-
gated on cold, crisp winter afternoons
10 the large Chantilly lace hat. Some
times, rs a concession to Jack Frost,
1t has a velvet crown above its lacy
bEim, although it frequently is entirely
transparent.
A pronounced millinery vogue Is the
use Of monkey fur as a trimming, this
fur, to a very great extent, taking the
place of aigrette and paradise. 1t is
used alone and also combined with o.
trich feathers. Black hats having o.
-trich feather motifs in the shape Of
leaves show these feathers alternating
with long-haired patches of monkey
fur. While this combination perhaps
does not sound interesting, it looks
well. Large hats of black panne have
brim facings and brim covers made
in this way. To keep the brim from
looking thick or fringy it is often
faced with a layer of tulle, which holds
the trimming in place and makes soft
and becoming frame for the face.
D~aped 6eret Popular With MiIIiners.
The draped beret still continues to
be tremendously popular with all Paris
milliners. 1t is almost entirely with
out trimming, but the crown is so beau
tifully draped that no trimming is

needed. The head band is usually
folded to form q clothlike brim; some
times it is made to appear like visor.
These hats are usually of black velvet
or silk, although metal cloth is used
for some elaborate ones. The dark
ones embroidered in metal threads are
