Show By Lady DufF-Gordor ("LUCILE") HERE Is, I think, one of the most attractive of the Winter Win-ter coats. It is of broadtail trimmed .with bkick and white fox. It has the high collar and the "cuff-muffs.'' The hat is of black and white fox fur. with a big -Ma feather. The fashionable stick accents the dash of the cos' tume but it is not necessary to carry the stick on the avenue. This is an example of the coats. A photograph in the right hand corner is an example of the frills. And very friUy indeed it Is. This is a dress for a young lady. It is of ll cream lace, with mauve orchid slips of satin underneath the lace. Notice the charming headdress. I have been asked why it is that although the new dresses have yards and yards of material in them and are expansive to the limit, still they have none of the effect of heaviness which was so characteristic of the period that is" their grandmother's. The answer lies in the character of the material that is used for these dresses. Although the tendency is toward' larger and larger skirts, it is counterbalanced by a tendency toward the lightest and filmiest of fabrics. These, indeed, are light almost to a gossamer degree. And so we get the effect of fairy-like, airy lightness. The traditional ballet girl skirts are many and wide, end yet there is nothing that gives such an effect of airy lightness as these ballet skirts. They are fiuls in the highest degree. We are coming fast to the fashions of Spring. I venture to predict that you will find these wide skirts' flufliness and aX fimi c L A Very Frilly Cream Lace and Orchid Tea Dress.

Just a few words about headdress novelties and the use of fur for them.
