Feminine Fads and Fancies ' j - - i
New York. Dec 11. It Is undoubtedly true that the new gowns are elaborately trimmed, but the details of decorations are not obtrusive. There are no outsanding frills, nothing that glares at you as purely and entirely ornamental. Tou do not see a rosette or a buckle or a panel. It Is the ensemble that strikes you at a glance, and It Is because the decorative element is so thoroughly a part of the costume. All the details are so per-
costuines,; no matter whether gold Is employed in them or not. 'These slippers are made of gold satin, cloth of gold, but more frequently of gilt material. With , the latter shoes small bottles s. with, gilding Jl0,uor are -sold, to i enable the wearer, of the shoes to

advantage that every woman can dreBs In the material and style most becoming to her form and physical development. Stout women should avoid rough fabrics, as she would broad stripes. . She must choose thin, soft cloths even for outdoor wear. For such women there are fabrios of such polish and luster that not a fraction of size is added to the figure by them. For the thin rough materials are the most . appropriate and never has there been such a variety of rough and bulky materials In the marker as now. As a usual thing, furs remain in style three years, growing gradually in favor and ' gradually decreasing. Each year a new favorite creeps in, so that there are three furs in vogue, coming In, in high favor, and going out. The furriers .buy heavily of the furs coming in and the women who think ahead, will follow his example. " Furs 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 worth-
lessness. .Only the best furs will resist deterioration and for that reason it is wise to buy only the best, even of the cheaper kind of furs.
Extremely long redingotes With wide pointed lapels of contrasting colors are
decidedly fast.ionable at present. A
costume ot this character was seen at a fashionable function the other day. The material was violet serge trimmed
with black passementerie frogs. The reverse were1 of white cloth and the
wings extending over them of black satin." This form 6f redingote is quite sure of continued favor during the winter, after the ultra styles from Pa-

Soutache braid is used as much as ever, but it is arranged on fabrics in new designs." Everyone is quite 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 than .
net, are covered with soutache patetrns in the form of Egyptian hieroglyphics and the effect is invariably pleasing and attractive. Extremely large hats are no longer 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 popular 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 ls used, although, of course, not the very fine, real marabout, which is too delicate a material of which to make hats. Barocque pearls are often used as trim-r mings on large hats, and on toques they are placed all around the crown and on the edge. . . : Wings are so arranged that they stand straight up? Ostrich plumes In white, faced with gray, or white faced with blue, are much employed as a trimming for swansdon or black fox toques. It Is extremely bad form to wear a soft crushed silk girdle with a plain tailored shirtwaist. A stitched belt, matching the skirt, should be worn with It, or a plain leather belt not over an Inch and a half in width.

to school for the first time, and, after
impressing the schoolmaster with the
necessity of giving him a thoroughly

Youthful Chivalry. The five-year-old son of the Rer. Stephen S. Wise was driving up Fifth Erenue, New York, recently with his mother. As they approached the entrance to Central park she called his attention to Saint Oauden's famous
work, the equestrian statue of Gen, Sherman led by Victory. "But, mamma," he queried, "why does not the
gentleman get off his horse and let the
lady ride?"
fectly 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 you are conscious only Of the costume in its entirety, just as you see a bit of embroidery or a painting. It ls not the separate parts that appeal to you, but the whole as a work of art. One of the striking features of the present fashion 13 the return to favor of gold as a part Of the decorative scheme in women's costumes. Long ago

Mrs. James Brown Potter will return to America early next year to appear in vaudeville. She will probably appear In a little play In which she will act the part of Mary Stuart. Maude Adams will make her first appearance in J. 1. Barrle'a new play, "What Every Woman Knows," at the Empire theater. New York, on Monday, Dec. 21, and will remain there eight weeks. William Collier in "The Patriot" will begin an engagement in the same play at the Comedy theater, London, next spring, under the management of Charles Frohman, who has booked him for a, long engagement.
I The shortest speaking part in any
play is that of Oowankatchie, the Indian in Edgar Selwyn's "Pierre of the Plains," played by George Schaeffer, an actor of many years of experience. The lines of the part are "Me like." George Arllss, who first came to America as the support of Mrs. Patrick Campbell about seven years ago, has proved himself a fine actor of exceptional versatility and his work In the part of the "Devil" is greatly admired by the dramatic critics. Louis Mann ls doing some of the best work In his career in "The Man Who Stood Still," on the bill of the Circle theater, New York, at present. There
