WOMAN AND FASHION

A New Model. This costume is a combination of ths jumper and modified dlrectolre style. It Is in a smoke gray shade of crepe de chine, with sash of gray satin caught together over the left hip with a fancy embroidered ornament in silver

bullion. The ends of the sash are weighted with long silver bullion tassels. The gulmpe is of white chiffon, with trimmings of gray satin buttons and simulated buttonholes of the same material. The hat of black velvet is trimmed with white satin and white wings.

The Girl With Red Hair. If your hair is golden brown or of the color that lovers of “fine writing” call “the Titian tint,” which means it Is red, you may make it still more attractive by wearing a jet coronet with bands of cut jet to weave in the puffs on the back and'sides. The hair must puff out until the bead resembles the top of a rain barrel adorned with hoops of onkum. A woman of prominence in Vanity Fair at a party the other night confided to a friend that three yards of cut jet trimming had been needed to produce the striking effect achieved in her coiffure. The hair vi as waved and parted and came down low on each side of her forehead. Then came a wreath of puffs, topped by the coronet of Jet. Then came a monstrous braid of hair coiledaround the head, and In and out was woven the cut Jet Close to the neck was a row of clinging ringlets, and small jet headed pins kept these embellLslijnents in {dace.

Dressy Directoire Hat. One of the new exclusive shapes of the directoire mode is in the lines of the shepherdess. In this instance it is developed in a royal purple velvet combined with satin, which forms numerous small pipings on the upper

brim. The crown, which is large and low, is trimmed with huge white wings posed flat against the front and sides. Streamers of purple velvet ribbon hang from the back of the crown over the wide brim and are knotted and brought forward to bang over the shoulder to the waist line. A Silk Season. Silk will be very much worn this season. Not the kind of taffeta we used to wear. Nobody wants to rustle now; we da not want to look starched or to shine; we must look as wilted and clinging as is possible. As the demand for silk is greater the weave will be improved. We find rich, heavy liberty satins and dull silks in the shops like those that were worn in our grandmothers' days. Silk costs more now than it did. but it wears bettor. It is new a material for the street as well as for church and other occasions for simple dressing.
