How can you carry out the Idea of skirt and over-skirt unless you Btudy the sleeves, and what sleeves there are? They are klmonoesque, and yet there Is a different dif-ferent touch. The sleeve Ja loose, and yet it is caught up in various ways, making the task of the dressmaker dress-maker more difficult But the effect Is far better than has been seen for years. But the most interesting interest-ing and novel featured of the latest creations are the collars and veBta. These exqulalte combinations com-binations are charming, and what is far more to the point new. The edict haB been Issued: "You must go with neck exposed.

At the opera or even when attending receptions we shall wear dlademB, dog-collars and Bunbursts without stopping to Inquire whether the occasion permits them or not Magnificence is to be tho rule all Winter. The leading jewollors have found ways and means to design diadems for every head, making them so graceful that no woman can withstand them, even for a family dinner. But do not think that gems ir are any cheaper. But every one must have Jewels, no matter whether they can . be afforded or not How they get them and what they are no one knows but they have them.

It is quite the thing to sit S against the background of a magnificent velvet coat or oven a silk one. The latest thing this year Ib the shawl. It is the latest "cry" with the sticklers for "chic" to wear a shawl, falling to a point on the back and running down low, with the endB short in front, crossing and pinned at the waist or falling to the finger-tips. These shawls are made of the most magnificent materialsdamask, ma-terialsdamask, velvet, gold and silver "brocades, and even broad-tall, In all materials, even the heaviest All are bordered with broad banda of fur, either of sable or skunk. Otter, being a little flat, is used only for Bquare collars, falling over the shoulders and making a seeming sleeve. A small scarf, shaped and made of ermine, bordered with white moire, is a masterpiece of arch coquetry, worthy of the shoulders of a capricious Du Barry. The extremely high price of furs explains ex-plains this tendency. A cloak of ermine does not cost less than four thousand dollars, a mink coat costs throe thousand, thou-sand, a chinchilla two fine coat of sable, the queen of fur9, twenty thousand dollars. Last year Ida Rubinstein ordered one at this price. The materials out of which tho gowns are made are sumptuous, Indeed In-deed almost royal in their magnificence. magnifi-cence.

Draped and redraped, they are truly Oriental in style, but more delicate deli-cate than before.
