Simplicity in Velveteen. —Velvet and 
velveteen are enjoying unusual popularity, 
and this material is always made up very 
simply, calling for plain lines and little 
trimming. In the first illustration the 
adult figure shows a plain gown of mouse- 
colored velveteen. The skirt is absolutely 
plain, but shows the Spanish panier ef¬ 
fect at the hips. Some of the new skirts 
are so wide at the hips that they look like 
an old-time farthingale, and they are 
even made with a wired panier like an 
abbreviated hoopskirt, one evening dress 
seen of a rose-colored net, having a panier 
like a wire trellis covered with green 
fringe, and trimmed with little roses. The 
dress figured, however, is very simple and 
conservative in outline. The round neck 
is trimmed with two rows of rose-colored 
cord. The plain straight elbow sleeve has 
a rose-colored fac¬ 
ing, which turns 
up a little on the 
upper side. This 
waist is fastened 
invisibly down the 
shoulder and un¬ 
der the arm, the 
placket being un¬ 
der the open pan¬ 
ier. The hat is 
a plain shape of 
black panne vel¬ 
vet. trimmed with 
a wreath of gly- 
cerined ostrich 
feathers. 
Embroidered 
Challie.—T h e 
little girl’s frock 
figured is nile 
green challie em¬ 
broidered w i t h 
red spots. It is 
quite plain, but 
is given an air of 
novelty by its 
trimming of nile 
green silk frills. 
The skirt is slight¬ 
ly gathered into 
frill at the hem. 
There is a similar 
frill at the round 
neck and at the 
waist. Around the 
waist, at the cen¬ 
ter of the frill, is 
a girdle of narrow Mouse-colored Velveteen 
cherry red velvet, 
tied with loops and ends. The sleeves 
are of the plain silk. The close little hat 
worn is trimmed with a wreath of red 
satin flowers. 
Velvet and Velours. —In the second 
picture the little girl at the left wears 
a frock of velvet and velours. The skirt 
is of black velvet, the yoke-like short 
waist of rose-colored velours. The only 
trimming is an odd little flower, stiffly 
appliqued and embroidered, on each side 
of the front. The petals, flat on the rose- 
colored velours, are of black velvet, with 
center of French knots, while the stems 
and leaves, laid on the black velvet skirt, 
are rose-colored. The hat has a soft brim 
of rose-colored velours, with a crown of 
black velvet. 
Vandyke Trimming.—T he little frock 
through slots in the center of the disks. 
Neck and sleeves were finished with bands 
of white angora wool. This is used a 
great deal for trimming, some black or 
bronze velvet dresses for juveniles having 
a band of angora wool around the skirt. 
Black or bronze are favorite colors in 
velvet dresses for girls. Among the 
dresses made of two materials we saw one 
having a straight waist of black velvet, 
not fitted at all at the waist, the skirt 
seamed on the hips. The skirt was of 
silk with inch stripes of black and pale 
gray. It was trimmed around neck and 
sleeves with loops of narrow black ribbon 
velvet, held in place by a flat pearl but¬ 
ton. All around the skirt were black 
velvet ends, attached at the seam where 
skirt was joined to waist. These ends, 
placed on the gray stripes, had a flat loop 
standing up at 
the top, and a 
* white button 
where they were 
attached, and also 
at the lower end, 
which hung loose 
to the bottom of 
the skirt. Several 
black velvet 
frocks for juve¬ 
niles were trim¬ 
med with bind¬ 
ings of white silk 
braid. Wool em¬ 
broidery is also 
very much used. 
Notes and 
Novel ties.— 
Many women are 
now appearing in 
leather coats of 
military cut. An 
attractive model 
seen at $55 was 
sheepskin in tan 
or .black, 40 inches 
long, with large 
side pockets and 
a buckled belt. 
Coats are lined 
with suede cloth, 
and are very 
warm and weath¬ 
erproof. S u c h 
coats are for mo¬ 
toring and other 
sports wear, but 
and Embroidered Challie women wear them 
as walking coats. 
Camel’s-hair polo coats in soft brown 
and taupe natural shades are roomy and 
comfortable with patch pockets and a 
belt. They have a collar that may be 
buttoned high around the throat. 
Chiffon velvet, velveteen and duvetyn 
are favored materials in handsome Win¬ 
ter dresses. Prices are very high ; duve- 
tyn dresses at $110 were offered by one 
famous shop as a special bargain. Bouf¬ 
fant hip lines are seen in dresses designed 
for slim figures, while tunics or panels 
with dignified long lines are offered for 
larger women. Bright-colored wool em¬ 
broidery is often seen on the duvetyn 
gowns. 
Hindoo turbans of draped duvetyn and 
metal tissue are very much worn, small 
round turbans having a folded border of

in the center is henna-colored cloth 
trimmed with folded points of black and 
white check taffeta. The trimming is put 
on in apron shape both back and front, 
and there are two rows around the round 
neck, while the sleeves are edged and 
faced inside with the taffeta. This sort 
of trimming, which many women used to 
make to edge aprons, is pretty and inex¬ 
pensive and often remnants of taffeta of 
contrasting color may be used to advan¬ 
tage. The hat is of black satin trimmed 
with a roll of white angora wool. 
Black Velvet. —/The little dress at the 
right is black velvet trimmed with white 
wool. Black velvet is used a great deal 
in children’s dresses, either alone or in 
combination. The little dress figured is 
quite plain, in one piece, the waistline 
defined by disks embroidered in white 
wool. A ribbon of black and white passes 
two fabrics wound together. Sometimes 
they have a tall feather in front, but more 
often there is no trimming, the handsome 
material being sufficiently decorative 
without it. Fur toques and turbans are 
being shown in great variety, and promise 
to be extremely fashionable—possibly be¬ 
cause fur is extra high in price. 
In new neckwear are vestees and collar 
and cuff sets of broadcloth or duvetyn in 
shades of leather and American beauty; 
some vestees are collarless, while others 
have high or convertible collars. 
Embroidered serges cost $5.50 to $10.50 
a yard. Those noted were navy blue, 
embroidered iu self colors or contrasting 
shades. 
Bright orange velvet is seen on many 
new hats, frequently as a facing on the 
turned-up brim. Some very vivid shades 
of sapphire blue are also used in millinery.
