H At ono restaurant the other evening mU there was a dress made of hluck Bittln, most lovely to behold. The waist was Hj fitted into the Hgure In u charming H manner, there was plenty of fullaum Hj at 'the sides of the skirt, and the HI front and sides were left plain. Dl- H rectly In front, where the circular H skirt Joined thu waist, there was a long IB mcdulllon of brilliantly colored bends. Hi That was all the trimming for thu JH Rown, but the sleeves were long anil H tight with flaring duira whlc'.i extended B In fanllko nrningeiucnt oven lie hands. B Tlicse cuffs, tn add nnotner touch ol H brilliance, were lined with a llumlnp H red chiffon. That Is nn example ol mny of tho newer dresses built for eml-dress wear nnd designed. Cuffs ore distinguishing features of ho newer frocks. They are Just tho Ittlo touch thnt brings tho designs ato a modern atmosphero and add to ho general chango that Is evident hroughout tho array of dresses. Some-mo Some-mo has asked what becomes of them Hitler n cont. When It Is remembered hat tho sleeves of most of tin coats ire quite as flaring as tho slcoves of he dresses, the problem has solved tsclf. One girl hnd n blnck velvet dress rimmed with bands of gray moufflon 'ur. Tho cuffs wero cones coming lown over her hands until, at times, 10 hands were visible. The cuffs showed linings of silver cloth and sdges of tho soft, gray fur. When the Iress was tucked under the covering layer of a warm caracul wrap tho fuzzy gray fur came Just enough below be-low tho edge of tho black fur coat to look as though this softness of lining lind been added to the sleeve of the coat. Fur" for Trimming-Gray Trimming-Gray fur Is Invaluable for trimming. On mnny of the newer frocks It makes Its appenranco In tho smartest manner. man-ner. And It has thnt air of being the thing to do. It "snaps up" a dark dress remnrknbly. It brings a coat out of tho ordinary run and even on evening dresses It hus a distinctive place that makes krown the gown's claim to smart society. Gray fur combined com-bined with silver cloth Is a success, especially when the combination Is posed against a black surface. Another suit, of black silk duvctlne, hus ull of the graco and softues which that sort of muterlnl can give to n suit. The lines uro graceful and becoming, to begin with, nnd wheu the nrtlstlcully arranged bands of gray nBtrakhan wero added the original charm of tho cut was accentunted. The coat of this street suit hus that long-wulstcd effect which seems to bu Inevitable, emphasized by a tight band of a belt edged at top and bottom with tho fur. The tight collar hugs about the throat and the little bands of fur are arranged In designs nt the sides of the skirt and also used for an edging edg-ing along tho uneven skirt lino. The little hat that caps tho climax Is made of the same fur. It Is nothing but the tightest of little turbans wltn a wide bund foV a brim nnd a snug little round section for a crown. Altogether this suit mokes a becoming becom-ing winter gurment, extremely dressy, designed for wear at afternoon receptions recep-tions and other sorts of daytime affairs af-fairs where more than the usual plain suit Is needed. It tnkes tho place of a dress and constitutes a wrap at the same time, In this wny compensating for Its ruther moro lavish appearance. Tho coat Is an example of mnny made along these lines nnd worn wltb moro nnd more zeal as tho days go by. Practical women who are always rinding rind-ing fault with tho serviceability of their clothes, nro murmuring that, per haps, these garments will not be any too warm, but tho fact Is they are warm enough for the usunl occasion-wanner occasion-wanner thnn a coat suit. It was Inter cstlng to see Just how smurt the short coats looked. Thero could bo no hot ter choice for the woman to whom thai sort of coat Is becoming.
