New York, Feb. 6.-How to soft
en- harsh lines of the pull-on hat is
a quest solved by monkey furs, bits
of grass or misty feathers, which
form more of soft and fiattering
outline than they do a trimming.
The small hat hugging the head
closely is to be extremely popular
for spring, the pull-on type of hat
which no wind, however boisterous,
can pull Off These hats make eff
fective use of the metallic trim
mings, the crowns often construct
ed of gold or silver cloth When
the hat is to be worn with a suit,
the crown or the trimming usually
repeats some color or combination
of colors seen in the very gorgeous
jumpers with which the new suits
are accompanied and glorified.
London, Feb. 6.-Three things the
fashionable lady must equip herself
with at once. A walking stick,
cigaret holder and a pair of gloves,
all in the fashion which differs from
the old as the grub from the butter
fly. Round about the parks, spring
walking sticks have already bloom
ed. They are tall, with curved
handles, and painted gay colors
and sometimes, carved. Orange,
jade, violet, scarlet, the stick makes
a bright contrast for the navy or
Cuban brown tailored suit The
new cigaret holder is collapsible,
gold trinket which telescopes into
itself. AS for the new gloves, in
addition to being scalloped and
saw-toothed they are brilliant with
steel beads or quaint with brace
lets of monkey-fur.
Paris, Feb. 6. = Brocaded satin
coats to be worn with a satin or
cloth skirt are a spring-time mode.
Usually of black brocaded in silver
or copper, the coats are semi-fitting
and designed for tailor made cos
tunes. Not all the coats are black,
nor all the brocade metallic, but
smartest of them have a sombre
background and the cloth of satin
skirts must be in a plain color
matching the foundation of the bro
cade. The bloused coat is also a
spring favorite.
New York, Feb. 6.-Not only the
uneven hem, but the unmatched
sleeves play an important part in
some of the new frocks here. One
dancing frock seen at a recent eve
ming affair was of the rosy-gold
comedian georgette over gold It's
sue. The left sleeve was wide and
short, ending just above the elbow
and was ornamented with lace
dyed in the cornelian shade. The
right sleeve was nothing at all on
the shoulder except the mere fast
ening together of the front and
back panels of the dress. There
were several inches of bare white
arm and then, at the elbow, 4-inch
band of georgette and lace. A long
wide loop of the georgette fastened
at the shoulder and at elbow-band,
hung down the back of the arm to
the wrist. From the left hip long.
soft fold of georgette and lace fell
to a deep point below the hem.
New York, Feb. 6.-Throw away
your silken gown or keep it for in
formal morning wear. The truly
smart frock, even for evening func-
lions, is about to be of cotton. Not
ordinary cotton, mind you. but cot
ton made SO fine and printed with
such bewildering beauty of pat
terms that it can hardly be distin-
guished from georgette. Embroid-
cry, also, rushes to aid the erst-
while humble cotton in making it
self look like what it is not Wool
embroidery, bead embroidery, al
most any kind of embroidery which
can turn the cotton down into an
arresting block of color, is not only
permissible but will nigh obliga-
tory.
