NEW VOHK. Uec. 2 It la not every well-
dressed woman who , now the cold weather
has begun la earnest , carries a fur mutt.
These who do display perfectly round one *
ot very conservative size and always lined
satin. A chinchilla
with come very cayly-colorcd
chilla muff , with a cherry red or npplo green
center Is considered a very pretty thlnR In-
flood , or a eobcr hand-warmer of 1'eralan
lamb Is made glorious with a pansy purple
or deep orange yellow silk lining , that Is
often further distinguished by vivid plaid
( trippings. Just at the onda of the muffs ,
whore fur and ratln como together , It Is a
commendable custom to sot on a short thick-
FIW TRIMMED OO\VN.
P'ltted flounce of black chlffoa or cream ant
black lace iDtcrm'ngled.
A fresh lining and a little lace admlnls
tcrcd as above directed will , by the way ,
work wonders In the freshening of well
worn or demode fur muffs , and many are the
owners of sucli fur pcasesslcns who havti
personally furbished them up with to < 5te and
neatness to last triumphantly through one
or moro seasons of hard use. . -
MUFFS OF CLOTH , SILK AND SATIN.
But to return to the original theme , which
was not fur muffs. Velvet , satin and c'.oth
nro the mUerlals from which the greater
clumber are made , and these of odd shape
and quaint 'rimming are moro and more
numerous as the scscon progresses. Dress
makers compound them from whatever the
dress fabric may be , and they usually adopt
the big or retlculo muff as the 'best pattern.
Sucli a muff Is llupd with a scrap of bright
broeadei silk , then around the openlngr.
where the hands enter frills of lacoor ac
cordion plaited chlff-n ate whipped , or , to
Increcao the decoration , loops of rlbbco
fringes or very small fur tails encircle each
orifice.
The top of this species of muff , that la
where It gathers up to give the bag effect ,
Ls arranged quite llko thu mou'th ' of a reti
cule. A ribbon , or , ibetter etlll , a glided
chain , draws the fulness of the material to
gether , passes about the wearer's neck , and
the top ot the muff really aerves as a shop
ping bag , or , at any rate , It will hold a
handkerchief , a purse , and even opera glasses
with uo Inconvenience. A few big bows of
ribbon , loops of fur , ruche'of ostrich tips ,
or , maybe , a bright-winged bird , are any
or all Ufed to ornament the outaldo and
front of thLs composite muff that looks not
wholly unlike a theater hat.
I'ICTURK BONNCTS.
Bigger and bigger and undoubtedly moro
beautiful ntlll grow the Victorian bonnets
every week. They acem , however , the ex
clusive property of very joung , slender girla ,
whoso skins nro frcah eonugh to need no
screen of tulle since veils are never worn
with this headgear and whose hair falls Into
natural .bob curls about the brow.
There was a motion put nnd almost car
ried recently with a view of doing away
w'l'Ji hat-wearing 'bridesmaids , but this win
ter's brfdc-g have not been able to rwlu
the blandishments of the Victorian shape
and Its picturesque possibilities. Ono from
a wedding group la given hero merely to
chow the meat approved method of apply
ing the very extensive trimmings and tbo
olzo to which these bonnets do grow. Against
a shape of violet-colored beaver long , paie-
blue pluimti are laid , and with cream lace ,
pink silk1 popplesand Ivory white satin rib
bon this crown of millinery glory Is made
complete. '
In sharpest contrast to these towering
structures , and nil the other tribe of large
winter hats that , without exception , Hare ex
aggeratedly up from the face , are the most
novel walking hats caps they should rather
lie called undo all of bird breasts , and
clinging like a military fatigue cap all about
to the head. To ono side , of course , a foun
tain of mingled : osprey plumes or a tuft
of ribbon bowa rltca high , springing Invari
ably from a .wheel-shaped brooch of steel
or large circular Jeweled pin.
FUR TRIMMINGS.
It seemed at the beginning of the eoason
os If fur was not to ba used , oven sparingly ,
ns a drois trimming , but now and again one
sepa It creeping In , The noweut sleeve top ,
for Instance , Is a tiny epaulet of velvet , folded
In three plaits , and from every plait mrlngs
a fur tall.
If any woman has a piece of ermine , broad
tall or mink , she ID at a loss to make use
of , let her insert It as a vest In her very
liwt railing suit , or use It to face ono very
largo rover turnlog back over the loft breaut.
The very last cry of fashion Is fur cuffs on
any style of gown , and now that every other
skirt uhows simulated , square or rounding1
rodlngoto tails , It la thu popular thing to
edge the lulls with fur , or lay a band of it
on the foot of the skirt only across the front
width * .
A trfercnco to the rcdinnoto effect on skirts
la clearly Indicated lei ono of the sketches
lllvc-n this week. Hero thn skirt Is of green ,
fiuUn-tlnlshed cloth , cut In the new three-
and'threc-qusrter-yaruV width , which la the
last standard , and Its back fulness Is gath
ered close -not pMlted folds of the cloth are
ntniply laid on thu side bieadths in two sldiM
of a square , and thus any suggestion of the
od ! , uitrluimed skirt la avoided , for the i > et-
tlccuU , luiocnit cf all decoration , llko the
toliTo and full top sleeve , U going fast. )
The truth Is that a abort , underrated skirt |
i * uow only sceu en the atrcrt : never jt r - >
ceptlons , weddings , balls or dinners. Those
of such heavy material as silk and thick
woolen goods , that do not lend themselves
nicely to rulllos and braid , Is cio lonscr the
nil-desired ornament it our" was , Uko flaunted
of chiffon and light silk. >
The waist that accompanies the skirt in
this week's picture is ofvhlto silk , bearing
a , green satin strlpo to match the skirt. Be- '
twcen the high belt and oddly pretty collar
all the body is of white chiffon , striked per
pendicularly with bands of black lace , -while
over the bust in black fox fur two curving
lines are baldly described. IJCQ and chiffon
form the jabot down the loft cldc , and thcso
saino materials constitute the sleeve tops.
QIRDLINO TUB WAIST.
There Is a lively ntniRglo on Just now be
tween the Jeweled belt , the sash and the
last comer In the- shape of a closcly-foldei
velvet girdle , that lias a great comigo bowen
on the left side , drawn through a buckle re
splendent with mock Jewels.
j The sash certainly has th.e first rights
I among the young people , nnd the slender
I women and stout wear jowoli.nl belts , but
. the corsugo bow and glrdlo Is a nore tempta-
| tlon to any feminine soul , and now Into Its
I Jeweled center and velvet midst knots elI
I artificial flowers are Introduced. Worn with
I the plainest llttlo evening ; dress , such a
I glrdlo both refreshes and glorifies It. Of violet
let , pansy , plaid shot nud shaded velvet ,
these beguiling "fl.xlns" are made up and
uold In the shops , or divers girdles can be
literally hatched out of the savings of
former hats and costumes , and every woman
should possess ono or more.
Hero Is a wonl to the wine , If she Is an
Individual who finds It necessary to wear a
, Ions clonk during the winter and must now
hnvo a new one. Let her remember that the
] moujik , or Russian blouses shape has extended -
| tended 11s Influence even to the new ulsters
of the plainest sort , and an well to the long
and elegant fur trimmed wraps. The ulster
must blouse liberally at front and back over
a rather wldo leather or braided belt that
i runs through loops Bowed on In the region
| of the waist lino. It can button double or
single breasted , and ltd high storm collar
should bo lined with curled goat's hair.
Cloaks of velvet cut on this pattern , trimmed
I with black fox fur aud bolted with Jewels
I are being made up for wear by the very
i modish as KOOII as the sleighing and skating
season sets In.
PRETTY FRIPPERY.
Added to the _ brooch In her back hair ,
adopted to hold" the short straws In tidiness
'
and free from her coat collar , every second
j woman now carries dangling from her long
neck chain a gold latchkey. Some of thrse
futllo and frivolously pretty trinkets , that
were never made to open any lock ever seen
by land or sea , have the hoop or the handle
set with Jnwels. Less expensive ones are of
silver , with enameled topst and sotno of these
do turn in the locks of cscritolrea , or opwi
| pretty boxes whcro Jewels and precious let-
I tors are kept. Their purposs , however , Is a
'small ' matter , and they promlsa lo become aa
' all pervading as the heart lockets were nnd
the clover lent pendants now are.
Desldo this frippery it Is plain c\s day
tint wlthtrt six months wo will all bo wear-
lug our watches tucked into our bolts and
from them will hang old style fobs , A black
ribbon fob. with a gold or sliver slide nnd a
bunch of line old seals Is the proper arrange-
1 ment already adopted by many , and the Jew-
I clcrs are busy designing qunlnt seals for the
Christmas trade.
Undoubtedly the very highest point of
I1 extravagance has been reached in pattlcoat
making by trimming , those of silk , having
! lace and chiffon , flounces , wth narrow bands
I of fur. But while extravagance rushes to
1 ono extreme , solid common sense has
brought us a now and excellent moreen for
underskirt fabrication that Is as thick ami
soft as satin ami Is charmingly decorated
in all the best plaid combinations. For
walking Its advantages arc manifold , and ,
as It coiner double width , it can bo cut on
the new pattern. That Is , with but two
Beams , running down either hip. The shape
of this skirt demands that It bo cut cross-
UBO | o' th9 material , and , because of its pe
culiar shape , It tits us snug as u yoke about
the hips , but fibres comfortably and grace
fully at the foot. Such a moreen skirt stands
the hardest wear and Is trimmed usually
with flounces of Its own goods or plaid silk.
A word also should bo said In commenda
tion of a new and charming wool and cotton
crepe Interwoven with gold and silk threads.
Its highly appropriate name Is Kcnauna cloth ,
itu surface web of gilt and colored thru ids
on the .cream background shows out in good
aoinl-orlciitul designs and suggests this as
a capital fabric for theater waists and tea
gowns.
There is no secret In telling that It slU
tor a trifle over half a dollar a yard , and
combines delightfully with velvets of all
shades as collars aud girdles. The making
of the new velvet collar , however , calls for
a change of arrangement. The prettiest hook
round the throat to the left of the chin , are
held very high by whalebones Inserted on
thu liulde , and where the conjunction Is
made u swallowtail , three-cornered or arrow-
heml shaped point of velvet must Jut out
conspicuously.
A bunch of violets , not a big bunch , but
with plenty of green leaves , and planted
directly behind the left oar , ls the very
latest fancy In head dressing. Women with
line absolute straight locks now appear of
an evening with a broad , snowy party well
on ono , nnd tha * usually the left , elde of the
head , From this the hair Is brushed and
rolled with glittering smoothness back to
ward and then up from thn nape. Finally
U J * caught in tight , Ehlcltig cells In the

Xotiilng Is better for adding color to the
garnishing of dishes than hard-boiled egg.
Chop the white separately atvl rub the yolk

deep red , chopped olives a beautiful green ,
chopped carrots u nice orange , truffles thinly

and parsley , a brilliant gracn. To this list
ham , chicken or olives' liver , celery , onion
or blanched almonds , chopped finely , .provide
the decorator with moro colors and variety.
Small flllccs of potato fried in butter ar

every ono knows the decorative effect of
sliced tomatoes.
Croquettes of Hep , mode In tiny mounds ,

ami croutons of bread are very effective.
Tlio.Bo are llttlo crusts , known In good old
colonial days us sippets. The bread is first
toasted and then cut Into crescents , stars ,
lozenges , dice , circles , squares or triangles
and fried In boiling butter.
Parsley tied In tiny bunches aud fried In
butter miikes a novel decoration. When ucjng
that valuable parsley as an ornamentation bo
Euro after chopping to put It In the corner
of a clotJi , screw it up and Viold It under the
ccld water tap , then squeeze it as dry ns
possible. On slinking It out of the cloth you
will flnd It a light green powder. Should you
omit to do tills chopped parsley remains
clogged together and will fall in heavy llttlo
lumps.
The ono great art In decorating dishes Is
symmetry. Every dish to ba u success
should have a tiny speck of green some
where. A garland of parsley or watercress
s suitable for everything from the fish until
; ho salad Is reached , and nothing is prettier
than the lemon. Whether in circles , half-
circles , descents , trlangks or diamonds , the
cinon Is always refreshing. A bit cf lemon
arranged alternately with a tiny mound of
chopped' beets , separated by a green spi Ig , Is
attractive for fish. Instead of the beet the
oTistcr coral Is extremely ornamental.
A Joint of meat looks best without orna-
ncKtatloru , It It Is n leg wrap a pretty
taper ruff around the bone , relieved wlih
craceful sprigs of green. The vegetables
can be decorated by rings of hard-boiled
eggs , slices of tomatoes , lemons , thimble
croquettes , croutons of bread or delicate
tauces. Croquettes of potatoes are prettily
surrounded with peas , and a dish of peas is

Soaking the clothes stained In buttermilk for

Another Is to make a paste of table salt

So much attention is now paid to all the
small details of dress , says Harper's Bazar ,
that no woman is considered to look well
dressed unless she be , as the slant ; phrase-
terms It. "well turned out , " and the plainest
sailor gown that has the required look of
finish will rank higher than the most
elaborate costume badly nut on and lacking
the appearance of being absolutely In order.
When a woman Is so situated that her
social dutlro are paramount to all others
and this Implies a generous Income a clover

There are hundreds of thousands of women
who have neither time , strength nor money
sulllctent for them to enter on a strictly
society life , and jet who go about In society
and must always look well-gowned. These
women , who have no maid , will find It Just
as Imperative to have every detail of their
costume In perfect order. To 'begin with ,
they have fewer clothes , consequently le 5

Evening waists are bent kept In boxes

skirts of evening gowns should not bo folded ,
but are best Ixld In long trunks or boxes ,

K-trh and every hat should be kept In n

brushlnc every time the hat Is put on or
taken off will lieep It looking fresh a sur
prising length of time. If feathers come un

when flowers look nmsjy nnd frayed the

the same treatment.

shape and will weir twleo as long as when
thrown nto a closet to curl up at the ends
as they dry. Rubbers should not be put
away muddy , but after they have dried
should be polished like boots.
The small details of dress gloves , veils
ribbons , handkerchiefs , etc. are , of course ,
to be carefully looked nfter and kept In
their respective cases , but they require en
occasional overhauling and sorting out.
Veils with holes in them and frayed edges
are an abomination to bi > classed with Belled

A woman of wonderful resources has just
discovered a new and very sure way of reno
vating and restoring to their former appear
ance spotted , soiled or faded cloth or serge
gowns.
Tick about twenty Ivy leaves , young green
ones liy choice , wash them carefully and
place- them In a jug or basin. Add about one
pint of balling water , cover up the bailn or
jug , and leave to soak for two or three
houra , when It will bo ready for uso. Mean-
whllo the garment must to thoroughly
brushed Inside and out , and all untidy braid |
off at once , suakemuut of the window , end
brushed , If thero/ls , tjrno then ; It not , later
In the day. The waist Is hung over a chair ,
turned inside out to air , and Is Inspected to
MO if collar or ruche Is mussed and soiled.
Skirts are neytr avowed to llo around on
chairs , but are mtriK on two hooks , so that
there shall bo notcfoaxlng. When the waists
are auuiclcntly aired they are folded away in
drawers or hung * cci a wire frame.
The question of space Is ono that requires
considerable thought Of course , when there
Is plenty of pace and plenty of money ,
there can be wardrobes galore , with hookn ,
aholvca and drawers , whcro each article eaei
have s place for Itself , Where both economy
of opace and money haveto be exercised
the problem is more dlfllcult. Within the
last two or three years some clover dovlcca
have como Into use by which the capacity of
hanging closets can be doubled ,
If the depth of the wardrobe bo grout
enough to allow of them , two curtain poles
In sockets , are fastened at a height which
will allow d long skirt to clear the ground ,
On these poles are put the wire frames ust > .l
to hang coat * on , and It is surprising how
many sklrta cin bo disposed of , arranged
side by sldo , but sufficiently far apart to
give each skirt plenty of room.
Above thcso two curtain poles are two
others , a yard higher up. for the waists ,
over which are also put the wlro or wooden
frames. But theao are differently arranged ,
Accordlon-plaltod velvet skirts set on a
deep yoke , with a rounded point In front
covered with heavy lace , either beaded or
plain , are the latest cxtravaganco In this
department of : dress.
Jeweled buttonholes are the latest addi
tion to the variety of Jeweled buttons and
buckles which are so fashionable. One of
the newest waistbands Is made of gold rib-
'ben interwoven with floral garlands.
The Umpire lamp shade , nude of plain
silk , lace or soft China Bilk , gathered , is the
fashionable thing to have. Some are em
broidered with sequins , some plain with a
ruche and silk1 fringe around , the edge , and
otliera , of paper , are painted with Jlowcrs
and pretty girls.
Chitelalnes are all the go agalm. Mother
Goose's lady who wore rlnga on her lingers
and belts on her toes didn't begin to make
the mutlc that the up-to-date girl makes
as 8ho passes along. She wears no fewer
than eight or tiTa Jlnglag ! glracracks at
tached to her chatelaine.
Some of the new poke bonnets of velvet
or of fine French felt , with a velvet-like
finish , are more rounding in slwpo and not
so rarrow about the ears or so high and
leaked in the crown as former pokes in Hah-
wlfo and Normandy styles wcro fashioned ,
thus making them much inoro becomtag to
bo generality of faces.
