The favotito eravatta, however, Is a, bushy square bow, of lace, net, tulJe or taffeta, worn at Uie hue line of the Mock, which Is moKt fre quently transparent.

Another gown made on a somewhnt sim ilar model was of sapphire "natte," a new wool texture, with a band trimming of blue galoon edged with gold braid. Rut In the way of garniture the puff rcp resrats the top notches of fashion, though in these days It is a acant affair and put on to lie much like a flat band. Variations oa the old forms, too, are made with frill treatments of the edges, though the puff sowed on at the extreme edge is most ancn. Mack and white dresses of chiffon cloth all in puffs are swagger freaks, and if they are tbe anguish of the stout woman they AKTKRNOON are tha Joy cf tha aliia one.

Handsome embroideries are used on these coats, sometimes in the tint of the coat, and the whole cut of the bet ter garments Is very dashing. With all these loose wraps lacs veils, draped fusnily about the hat brim and furling behind in becoming cascades, are much seen. Often, the veil and the hat are In the same color, a stylish and effective scheme when tbe tint Is one smiting the wearer especially well. But In carrying this out hydrangea blues bad better be avoided ty pale blondes, as A TOILETTES 'WHICH DISPLAY CHARMING weTl as light shades of red or gray.

White material of excellent quality Is also to be had at low prices, and a pretty white lawn, forty inebes wide, wns selling tbe latter part of last week for 12H cits a yard. No one need lark a white frock with such prices to be found. Kancy chains, with jewels of different kinds aet in at Intervals, are selling at a great reduction, 11.90, and they have !been double or tripte the price.
