Show j FASHION'S FRILLS. Some of the corduroy velveteen and i I , I cloth gowns are trimmed with bands of white kid edged with beaver fur. : Some of the newest street boleros of velvet or velours du nord are finished with revers and a Rolespierre hood of seal, mink or otter fur. Winter sky is the latest departure in fashionable gray-blue shades. Vichy is a soft water-blue, and marquise and cocoa are favored shades in brown. .A rather striking costume worn by a youngr woman of fashion is a black cloth skirt, a bright but rather a rose-red rose-red cloth jacket and a Avhito cloth waistcoat. . . : A novelty in furs is a high collar of sable made to fit the neck and finished with long ends of cream chiffon and lace which fasten down at the waist with two sable heads. . j Bias bands and loops made of nar-j row folds of velvet and fastened at the ends with a tiny gold or rhinestone but- I ton are a very effective finish for col-M lar bands and vest fronts. i To transform a gowrc of lace or : net I which was originally all black, a satisfactory satis-factory method is to drape it over white j silk and add collar, girdle and wrist- j bands of orange, cherry or rosa-colored velvet. .r . Antelope gloves ar worn' by the best dressed women, and the undressed thicker skins are also very popular. White glace gloves are as much woni as ever for afternoon and evenings at the theatre. A beaver brown cloth, coat stitched with white silk and completed with a collar and revers of grebe is one of the seaman's developments in the department depart-ment of outdoor garments which has I surpassed all previous records in the production of varied styles. A good way to freshen lace is to sponge it thoroughly with naphtha, going go-ing over it afterwards, on the wrong side with water in. which a pair or so of black kid srlovps have elmvh- brought to a boil. After that, sponge on both sides with alcohol. The most popular pattern in face-veiling face-veiling for the moment is a fine black silk net. ..with tiny black velvet dots scattered over its surface.
