By MAftY DEAN. Velvet .in more than ever In evidence, and an entire costume df one of the beautiful rich colored soft French or English velvets, trimmed with for, should make the woman who Is wearing it feel as though she had a long list of aristocratic ancestors, and had sat in the lap 6f luxury all her days Tailored gowns of velvet may have either a long or a short coat. The flounced skirt Is particularly modish, and suggests the charming little tunic a la minaret. The majority of the

skirts are cut with godet plaits, and form real godet folds on the hips. The same effect may be noticed on the jacket. ——— ••

Many fur-trimmed models in velvet are fashioned in bolero style. A highshaped girdle of the velvet extends to just below the (bust line to give the necessary warmth. The white and black combination continues In favor, and some of the most distinctive models introduced this season are in black and white, with a mere dash of color somewhere. Drecoll Is responsible for one of the prettiest of these black and white creations, which has bodice and tunic of white chiffon and trimmings of Jet heads. The beads form bands for the neck, under part of the Bleeves and lower part of the tunic. The skirt is a draped model in the supplest of black velvet. The detail which gives special cachet to this frock consists of the skirt drapery, which, beginning «t the right side of the skirt front between the hem and the knee, runs backward and upward over the tunic of chiffon and is fastened in a big, soft, flat bow at the left side back at the waistline. The muchneeded touch of color is shown in the

girdle of rose satin which encircles the waist. The neck, front and bottom of bolero are trimmed with dark fur. The tunic Is also bordered with a band of the fur. The tailored frock sketched is of a beautiful shade of rich golden brown velour de laine trimmed with fitch. The girdle is of brown velvet. An admirable model of white duvetyn was shown in a smart shop on Fifth avenue the other day. The skilt, bodice and upper part of the peplum were *of white duvetyn. To the lower part of the peplum was Attached a broad border of plaited brown mousseline de sole trimmed at the bottom with a band of sable.
