LATEST FASHION HINTS

This is undoubtedly a winter for fora A neckpiece of sable costs twice as much now as it did earlier in the season. Fur jackets of all kinds are the mode, sable, broadtail and’ chln- ■ chilla carrying off the palm. Chic boleros of fur are much in favor. Frequently two furs are combined; for example, sable and white broadtail. Fur is also much used for trimmings, especially narrow bands on lace, and the fur itself cut into bows is introduced on the fronts of jackets. Fur is trimmed with lace, which in turn, has fur applique upon it Evening gowns of white satin are embellished with Arabesque patterns worked in fur mingled with guipure, the flowers being padded and thrown up in relief, fur being used as the heart of the flowers. Pretty Sofa Pillow. For the woman whose pennies are few there is a novel sofa pillow. It is made of common blue and white ticking, the narrower the stripe the better. On the stripe sew that bright tinsel cord which sells for two or three c?nts. This comes in silver, gilt and copper, and all three colors may be used. Between the stripes make a catchstitch of some gayly colored silk floss. Any number of colors may be used and the ruffle may be made of sateen to match the blue in the ticking. Tailor-Made Salt. A neat tailor-made suit of dark Oxford melton is made with a plain flare skirt, stitched at the seams and gathered into an inverted pleat at the back. The coat is of the Prince Albert shape and is made with the long dip to the waist In front. The lining and facing

on the lapels are of black satin. The present styles all require quantities of all varieties of silk. While there are many excellent makes, those of the Corticelli manufacture seem to be the

most popular with the leading dres» makers. Dinner Gown of Black and White. For house wear, veilings, etamlnes, fine cashmeres and crepe de chine are much worn. All sorts of silks, laces,

chiffons and tissues are fashionable for evening gowns. Irish crochet lace is liked extremely for dinner or recep : tion costumes. A beautiful dinner gown is of black net over white taffeta. The skirt is laid in tucks ahd bordered by an accordion-pleated flounce of the net, finished with three rows of quilling. At the head of the flounce is an applique of white lace. The low-cut bodice has elbow sleeves of the tucked net, slashed open on the outside of the arm and fastened across with strips of velvet ribbon and tiny rhinestone buckles. A little of the white- lace mingles with choux of the net and ruffles of velvetbordered chiffon on the corsage. Cortlcelli silk was used throughout in making this costume.

Latest Fashion Notes. Jewels are more popular than ever, especially with evening dress. White evening gloves fasten with small turquoises surrounded by white enamel. Pearls are also used to fasten these gloves. Automobile red and black will be worn so much together that one is safe in buying and in making up a spring gown in these shades. Loose, short sacks of black velvet are “chic” made a little longer in the back than in front, in a manner to show the colored lining. Brown tulle, with chenille dots to match, are worn with toques trimmed with mink or sable fur, and also when wraps or sets of the same fur are worn.
