New York, Dec. S—It Is undoubted
ly true that the new gowns are elab
orately trimmed, but the details of
decoration are not obstructive. There
are no outstanding frills, nothing
that glares at you as purely and en
tirely ornamental. Yon do not see
a rosette or a buckle or a panel.
Is the ensemble that strikes you at
a glance, and It la because the deco
rative element Is so thoroughly
psrt of the costume. All the details
ar« so perfectly In harmony with the
gown proper, and with each other,
that they have ceased to be details
when the gown Is ready to wear, and
yon are conscious only of the cos
tume In Its entirety, Just as you see
a hit of embroidery or a painting. It
ts not the separte parts that appeal
to you, but the whole as a work of
art.
One of Hie striking features of the
present fashion ts the return to fa
vor of gold ms a part of the decora
tive scheme in women’s costumes,
long ago a fashionable woman con
sidered hercelf In the top of style
if she had a black and gold evening
frock. Tbe desire for them passed
away with the fashion, but now there
is a revival of It. The fabrics used
liberty velvety chiffon cloth,
meteor crepe, but especially satin.
Dlrectolre gowns are built of the lat
ter fabric, with heavy gold embroid
ery at the hem, up center of the
ahort-walsted bodice and over the
shoulders. When sleeves and yoke
are aded, they are of black net
touched with threads of gold.
Many of the new evening gowns
of filmy, sheer material are now drop
ped over a brilliant lining of cloth
ct gold. This Is a soft crepelike fab
ric, without any of the body of what
was ones known by that name. Such
a Using should not be fall. It 1s cut
on narrow straight limes and looks
wtS under folds of a filmy fabric
able costumes, no matter whether
gold Is employed In them or not.'
These slippers are made of - gold
satin, cloth of gold, but more fre
quently of gUt material. With the
latter shoes small bottles with glid
ing liquid are aM, to enablq the
wearer of the shoes to renew their
brilliancy from time to time, should
they become soiled or dull. Bronco
slippers are also much In evldonce
and are usually worn with stockings
of brome tint, matching that of the
shoes.
It Is a fortunate thing for both
stout women and thin, that fashion
has placed the stamp of its approval
upon smooth as well aa rough fab
rics. There Is nothing In the line of
dress materials that la not fashion
able. This offers the advantage that
every woman can dress In the mate
rial and styles most becoming to her
form and physical development Stout
women should avoid rough fabrics,
as she would broad itrlpes. She must
chose thin, soft cloths even for out
door wear. For such women there
are fabrics of such polish and luster
that not s fraction of slse Is added
to the figure by them. For the thin
rough materials are the most appro
priate and never has there been such
a variety of rough and bulky materi
als In the market aa now.
As a usual thing, furs remain In
style three years, growing gradually
In favor and then gradually decreas
ing. Bach year a new favorite creeps
In, so that there are three furs Id
vogue, coming In, In high favor, and
going out. The furriers buy heavily
of the fura coming In and the women
who think ahead, will follow his ex
ample. Fura come back Into style
only about every nine or ten years,
and no matter how carefully they are
kept, they will deteriorate In that
time, almost to worthlessness. Only
the best furs will resist deterioration
and for that reason It Is wise to buy
only the best, even of the cheaper
k'nd of furs.
Extremely long redlngotes with
wide, pointed lapels of contrasting
color are decidedly fashionable at
present. A costume of this character
was seen at a fashionable function
the other day. The material was
violet serge trimmed with blsck
passementerie frogs. The revere were
of white cloth and the wings extend
ing over them of black satin. This
form of redingote Is quite sure of
continued favor during the winter.
the side back under a coarse stitch
ing of black. One soam la turned
over another and decorated with
small black crochet buttons. Some
of the tight-fitting skirts accompany
ing the redingote have a bias seam
down the front, but these are usually
a sad failure, as they are sure to sag
at the sides, and the grand chic of
the short skirt Is to have It hang all
around. Many of tbe new skirts are
faced for ten or twelve Inches with
silk, but no lining Is used snd no pet
ticoat Is worn with them, .If the own
er wishes to follow the dictates of
fashion.
Paris milliners have Introduced
the new fad of perfuming the hata
with the scent of the flowqre with
which they are decorated. Aa this Is
a flower year in millinery, and dif
ferent Jrtnds of perfume are easily
obtained, the fad Is becoming quite
popular. It is not probable, however,
that It will last long, as It Is sure
to be overdone.
Soutache braid Is used as mnch
as ever, but It is. arranged on fabrics
In new designs. Every one ts qnlte
delighted with the Egyptian patterns,
for they give character to a frock
and are easy to do. Old blouses of
chiffon cloth, which Is more exclusive
thnn net, are covered with soutache
patterns in the form of Egyptian
hieroglyphics and the effect is inva
riably pleasing and attractive.
Extremely large hats are no long
er used by smart dressers of good
taste and conservative Ideas. They
are affected mostly by women of the
stage and those anxious to Imitate
their style for the purpose of being
conspicuous. Among the women of
refinement toques are far more pop
ular at present than big hats. These
toques are rather large, but there
Is a decided tendency to diminish
their size. • •
A great deal of marabout la used
although, of course, not the very
fine, real marabout, which is too del
icate a material of which to make
hats. Rarocque pearls are often us
ed as trimmings on large hats, and
on toques they are placed all around
the crown and on tne edge.
Wings are so arranged that they
stand straight up. Ostrich plnmea
faced with bine, are much employed
In white, faced with gray, or white
aa a trimming for awanadown or
black toques.
It Is extremely bad form to wear a
soft cruahed allk girdle with a plain
tallowed shirtwaist.' A stitched belt,
matching the skirt, should bo worn
with It. or a plain leather belt not
over an Inch and a half In width.
