Tiny satin but tons decor;iioi one suit, huge eord orna ments another and the broadtail-trimmed costume had large buttons of dull gilt set vi ith topazes. - One afternoon the suit was of old bine velvet with a. nar row tunic skirt bordered with moleskin and there Mas n graec.'nl shoulder scarf of moleskin and taupe chiffon witb a tnuCf to motdi. At an evening session a fawn colored velvet suit v:is worn, and this cost nine was most beautiful of all. The skirt was slightly longer than walking length and hid the feel, and at the height of the knees was trimmed with a band of deep p:rn lace threaded with gold and bordered on ench edge with fox fur in the fawn shade of the velvet. The coat was an abbreviated affair in Kus sian funic effect and fell scarcely to the hips. It bad broad cuff? of the gobl- hreaded !;:e .bordered with fox and a deep, sailor collar also of the lace and fur. It opened at the waistline In front, one end of the collar forming a deep i ever which extended to the waist. With this costume was worn a beautiful bat of fa wn-eoiorcd velvet with plumes shading to a deep rose: :uid the lining of the coat exactly matched the rose of the plumes. A Velvet Cnnlnmii Fr the Average Woman. Kvprybody, of course, ma? not possess five beautiful velvet, suits, each more dressy than the last, and each btiilt of velvet ranging from seven dollars a yard upward for many of the very thin, supple velvets do cost that amount. Hnt every woman will -want at least one vel vpf costume this winter, if she is to reel herself in step with fashion, and the majority of these suits will undoubtedly be built, not of velvet at all. but of one of the now. soft velveteens which are really beautiful in texture. The woman ivho plans a velveteen suit, however, will d well to make her choice either black or very dark blue; for it is in the colored effects that velveteen betrays itself. Only in the handsome silk velvets are ibe soft, subdued eolorl Ings obtainable, but as black, is really the smart color IbH season, this will not so much matter to the woman who buys her velveteen suit tor general afternoon street wear. The skirt of such n suit should be very straight aud very narrow. It should not taper toward 'the bottom, as Paris, w.hile stUI insisting on the very narrow skirt, ! frowns uncompromisingly on nil tapering -or "hobble" effects. . This nieaus that i the woman with wide hips will have her ' skirt of sufficient breadth at the bottom j to hang in straight lines, and only the slim person of near-hipless dimensions ; will indulge in the yard and a half or , two-yard skirl width. - With (his narrow . and rather short skirt will In- worn a jacket to the hips j and cut in box stylo defining the curve 1 of the waist not at all, but hugging thej figure - very closely at. the hips. .The ! sleeves will be close-fitting, without full- i ness nl the shoirtdor anil will come to ) the knuckles when the hand is dropped at j the" side. These jaunty little jackets i do not button', straight down the . front. I'snally one side laps over the other in a deep rover and the fastening is arranged near the waistline with some sort of fancy cord ornament' or clasp. If one be fortunate enough to possess an old fur muff anil neckpiece which may bR cut .up into strips, and used as a trim ming on the revei, wrists and skirt bem of the velveteen snit; so much the better and better still if eqough fur remains to contrive a jaunty little toque, with a vel vet crown and the strip of fur forming t he brim. Th Ser Fnr Cilrflle. Some of the prettiest evening gown? that-bare been worn during the past fort night at the opera have had narrow fur girdles, made of ermine, moleskin or some other short haired pelf.' Usually the same fur appears elsewhere on the gown, at th foot In border effect and also edging the elbow sleeves. Fur is never. used around the neck of an even ing '-gown, which always blends as closely as' possible., with the lines of the shoul ders. Tf trimming is added at all it. is in flat bands and flesb-eolorcd tulle or chif fon .Is - often laid in around the dccol letage. to soften the dividing line between bare flesh aud fabric. To return to the little. fur girdles, they are simply narrow strip? of fur. two inches wide arid about two yards -long, the reverse . side being lined with thin satin in the color" of the gown. This Ut ile fur strip is drawn around the rather high waistline and simply knotted once at: one side of the front, the ends hang ing loosely. Of course only tly? slender est figure could stand, the teet of a fur bell at the waist. The Basque Rfall.v Coming;! An earlier mention of the probability of tbe basque in costume., made on this page, is now being eon firmed by T'aris advices. At the Grand Trix a Worth gown was worn which showed a distinct basque, or short funic bodice, with the .material, fit ted -tightly to the figure as far as ibe waistline and then falling loosely to the hip. There was no belt, a narrow piping marking the division between fit ted bodbe portion and the little "peplum'' which fell . below. A still more startling innovation .along basiue lines has heeu produced by ,'allol. This is a bodice with five seams, at the back something that has not been seen in many years, every effort. , of tne dressmakers having been of late to disguise seams in every way possible. The L'llot gown is of black satin with a long sweeping skirt and a, little short walsted bodice separated from the Bkirt by a softly folded sash of red silk. The lop of the bodice Is finished with a quaint fichu of net and niecbliu lace. But the back of the bodice! One scarcely believes one's eyes, for it is fitted to the figure by means of five seams, each distinctly emphasized by a piping. The front of the bodice is draped in the usual way in simple surplice fashiou. ' ; Onshes of Bed on Somber Costnmea. The red salf on this black ("allot frock Is -very significant, for many French cos tumes now show this striking touch of red. aiid especially is the red note no ticeable iu embroideries on dark blue frocks of serge or permo material. Red embroideries with perhaps a glint of gold thread and an outline of black, lift the simplest afternoon frock of dark color to Immediate distinction, and many little O important a feature In woman's dress Is neckwear considered to be now that most of the large depart- j tnent shops use from two to six : lotiff counters at the front at the j i main Boor for neckwear display. No j other article of merchandise is accorded ; as mn"b-room no other article of 'tress, j that. is. wbicb form? a single item of (be wardrobe. There are counters of Jabot? find coup- i ters ef lace collar and cuff sets; counters of scarfs and ruffs, counters on which j smart IKtle" neck hr.ns ef ribbon are displayed and usually a. whole counter devoted soiely to niching. Aud benealh all these counters are glass cases, lighted up by electric bulbs, iu which are ex hibited tbe ueckwear de htxethe ex- I aulslMy dainty things which coroe from the needles of French con-tent wnraers around Paris. F,very woman knows Hint a smart street, costume may be made or marred by the bit of neckwear which acom nanies it. and every woman has ex perienced lhal tyelJ-gro"rned. eorreetlr ettaohod to tbe stock silk. These last are usually pleated, the silk being laid in fine side pleats be fore the bow is tied and the pleated ends falliug in two sharp point" on the Huffy jabot beneath. .Tabots continue to be worn, though they are- the short, bib- j of the. coat.' shaped affairs, falling in the opening of j are ready to the tailored coat, rather tbau the long pleatiogs wbicb extend down tbe side of coat, or blouse openinf. A very smart 'jabot and stock- tre sliowo in the accompanying illustration, and this bit of neckwear illustrates also the fancy for colored effects. White linen 1s combined with -colored ' linen iu most effective ways. ;md often the white portion of the neckwear is embroidered v. Uli colored mercerized floss to match sections of colored linen set iuto lhe de sign. The stock and jabot illustrated are of white linen embroidered wilh dots in a cool Dutch .blue, and the jabot is made of a piece of the solid blue linen, with a bolder of white embroidered w'ith the blue dots.

If one's throat is dressed correctly, one can face ibe world with equanimity, even though the skirt be ' a hit wider than this year's decree aud the jncket longer than Paris commands. With the tailored two-piece suit now is worn a blouse which repeats in soum way the color of the suit material, and this blouse usually has a collar or boned slock which shows above the outer coat. Tn all bodices of a stiff and elegant character the little" yokes and high stocks at the top are of cream lace; usually of dainty lace insertions, joined with tiny eutre deux or pearling." aud mounted over foundations of very fine cream net. All the French dressmakers now are using- a . lovely creamy lace called Calais lace for collars and yokes, and beneath the mesh of the lae in variably appears the finer mc-li of Hie foundation of net. This gives a nater finish" and keeps the collar in shape better than a single layer of lace, which Is bound to stnjteh or become narrower In time. To wear over the I'lub b-necked waists, which are still in great favor, and will be worn all winter without doubt, there are useful little overyokes attached to high stocks, these being intended to slip on above tbe bodice, so that the trim, high stock shows iu the opening of tne oat. These overyokes are made of tucked net and of fine linen with outre deux of. lace. Tbe lower edge is rounded or square in shape, and is fin ished with a pleated frill of the lace, sometimes there is little bow or rabat set in front of . the .stock, or one of the shower bows made of narrow velvet rib bons or silk tubing, with a multitude. of dangling ends, each" tipped with a tiny ornament. These little neck bows are tbe fea ture of neekiiressing now.- Every woman one meets has some sort of a bow at her throat.
