Blanche Walsh will make an extensive tour of the south this season, appearing in her new lapy, entitled "The Test." Miss Eleanor Robson is said to have a wonderful part in "Vera, the Medium" with which she is now on a successful tour. R. G.

Flame color is much to the front for gowns and trimmings of all descriptions. Heels, having risen almost to an absurd height, are now coming down, again. The kid and satin evening slipper has been ousted by gold, Bllver ' and bronze. t . Rose shades of all materials are t the fore this winter for children's wear. ' ' Messaline, in many supple and alluring weaves, is in great favor for drapperies. Women's coat sweaters have pockets at the side, and a coquettish breast
pocket. For indoor wear there is a great number of sleeveless coats of gauze and net. The butterfly bow of black satin has become a favorite bit of neckwear for indoors. . '. The absence of fulness, plaits ' or gathers prevails in gowns, long coats
and wraps.
A hint of spring styles is that there
will be a very general return to tailored effects.
The newest bracelets are half an inch wide, of flexible links, set with all kinds of stones. The dlrectorire sash is an effective feature of the majority of the narrow, clinging skirts. The fan Is more fashionable than tot many seasons, and usually echoes the color of the gown. The single Psyche knot is in increase Ing favor for the coiffure as the party5 season advances. Plain cloth, combined with brocaded or embroidered velvet, . is. to be seer on new reception gowns. Fewer gauzy materials and more substantial weaves will probably be wanted for spring than last season.
Midwinter gowns reproduce largely
the colorings and designs of precious)
old Indian and cashmere shawls.
Collars must now meet in front in s4
a straight up and down line; flaring
corners are no longer permitted.
Pearled chiffons that look as If drops
of dew had spattered them are tha newest designs for evening gowns.
. In spite of the increasing popularity of the stock, the white turnover collar Is stiU in good style. Among the novel Paris hosiery there are black pure thread silk stockings with insteps worked in colors. Of late there has been a turning from the long used white yoke to lace and net yokes of the color of the gown. . By summer time sleeves and yokes are more likely than not to come back to the same material as the rest of tha costume. There is a fringe effect upon the
newest purses of leather and suede, and it is a fad to have them of the shade of the gown. Close, clinging styles have not yet received the expected setback, and will now probably prevail well inta the spring. One of the newest girdles Is a waistcoat shape with turn-back revers and topped by a lace jabot which falls from, the throat to the top of It. Most of the sleeves of elaborate
gowns are of the same lace or net aa
Gowns must not only be clinging, but
must likewise be shimmering.
The velvet toque, bordered with fur,
is more than ever to the fore. . It is insistently declared that pockets in skirts are to come back. An enormous ball of rhlnestones is the most popular hatpin ornament. Black and white ar as popular in hats as at the first of the season. Touches of copper are coming in to rival the much-used gold, and silver. Gray net and chiffon tulle are in the height of fashion for tunic effects.
