Jlalds sem to pa the favorite wear for schoolgirls, both large and small. Women's calling cards have .changed slightly in shape, and are now almost square. - The fashion of bloomers for the. small girl is an increasingly popular one. The lace coat figures as a part of

LADIES' TUCKED NIGHTDRESS. This design is particularly adapted to flannel, although practical for any material. There, Is no unnecessary fullness in the gown or sleeves.

the shoulders. Black satin, messaline, or satinfaced crepe Is exceedingly stylish in colored dresses. Sleeves reach to the wrist and mould the arm with a somewhat unflattering faithfulness. For visiting cards. Old English, Roman block and old-fashioned scrip are all fashionable. For shopping, street1 or general service, the skirt is usually plain and in clearing length. The opera bags seen this year are very elaborate affairs on which many gold spangles are employed. Tiny wreaths of flowers made of ribbon achieve the daintiest kind of decoration for girls' frocks. In fur coats one find a survival of kimona sleeve, fitted into the arm and made Into a coat sleeve. Large revers and the standing consulate collar are emphatic features of the sean's styles in coats. Winter cloaks are very much longer

and the backs are even straighter and

flatter than they were three months ago. One ef the recent touches on the ready-made white net waists is a black cord around the lower edge of the collar. Fish net continue to be much used for blouses and many beautiful models are made over a chiffon cloth or mousseline lining. Sleeves must spring straight from the armhole without any little kimono manche or mericful epaulette to break the severe effect. Sets of Jeweled hatpins are one of the gifts now bestowed upon the fashionable bride. The set generally consists of five pins. A shirtwaist of French flannel, having a small polka dot on a white ground Is attractive with 'a necktie and belt the color of the polka dot. A very exclusive haberdasher In Paris is introducing men's handerchiefs with monograms ' three ' inches long and a half an inch In width.

The raglan holds its own among long coats, as one that Is not only extremely useful, but as also possessing a certain distinctive style. Tunics of Greek inspiration, draped

now from the shoulders and again from ,

the hips, are to be seen both on evening an on afternoon gowns.

A heavy stocking In silk or lisle i

thread effect in two colors is brought out for those who wear low shoes all the year arourtd.

Many, of the season's coats have

sashes coming from beneath the vest

or from the edges of the consulaten

collar, either one adding a stylish

touch. i

The deep, narrow yoke is an insistent

feature of this season's modes and is in perfect harmony with the tendency

toward tal slender effects.

In this day of slashed skirts and

pettlcoatless ankles both slippers and

stockings have assumed a place of luxury and Importance undreamed of in other times. Muffs and neckpieces of marabout are very popular just at present, and particularly is this the case with the kind konwn as the clustered marabout. Fur is used not only for collars and muffs, but around the bottom of coats

of various lengths, especially the very long and the three-quarter length

coats.

Brother and sister are the titles

given respectivelyto tho sylpbocker and princess slip two garments of

Italian silk warranted to give the iiew

figure.

Not only are skirts sheath fitting.

but all petticoats are made in exactly

the same way. Otherwise it would be

impossible to attain the desired result

in gowns.

Bronze and olive-green, myrtle.

smoke-gray, elephant, prune, Russian blue, cadet, navy and the rich dark

blues are la made handsome ,by trim mings of black satin or velvet.

With the dlrectoire coats the sleeves

are long and come very low down over

the hand as well, while they are like

wise buttoned down the seam and

adorned with a row of braid loops.

The princess and dlrectoire skirts extending above the normal waistline retain their hold upon popular favor, and the bodice should be in harmony

with the skirt of this character.

The cossack turban sits flat on the

head and covers the forehead as well as most of the back hair. Although It is not at all becoming, their barbarous-looking turban has taken Paris by Storm. The separate collar is . a happy idea for the fvoman who likes to give a good gown good, hard wear. With the collar, she has a luncheon gown; without it, a dress for the restaurant or theater. A marked feature of the new skirts is the shifted position of the closing. They almost invariably fasten on the left side of the back, though the bodices continues to close in the center. Afternoon gowns that , are suitable

for reception, teas, and other affairs of more or leas informal nature are made of broadcloth, chiffon-velvet and silk cashmere, and are in sweep length. o part the hair In the middle is just now the fancy of the Parisienne, the wayes being brought well down over the face, while the hair is turned, abruptly back at the sides over two cunningly inserted side-pads. While no skir tat the present time can be called full, those designed for soft, thin materials are often made to fall in voluminous folds, but they have the top closely laid in tucks that produce the sheath fit.

down to the delicate littla wrist' Sad vanity bags. Each one of the puffs arranged at the back of the Psyche knot Is held In place by a large hairpin, and the pompadour is now held by a pin instead of a comb. Some girls, too, have gone so far as to add one to each side of the knot. In gowns having tha high waistline, the top .of the skirt is often tucked, but if the gown is of chiffon or anything ot this nature the gathered top permits the soft' folds of the material to cling to the figure and follow the outline becomingly.
