KW YORK. Kcb. C.-The cold
wave, which tn January set the
country shivering, hHB resulted
in foxhlnns us widely dlTerlrig
aa tho poles. For where wnne
were designed to guard against the bitter
winds of the north, others were made for
tho southern exodus, which this year bagm
a little earlier than u.'ual. Skating tollet'.ea
suddenly put In an appearance, adapted
to the rink aa well as Ico, but which, when
the occasion required it, might resolve,
themselves Into pedestrian costumes with
out siemlng outre.
Vlokt, corduroy and velveteen form
runny of these charming toilettes, wh'.ch
are Been gracing tho luncheon tables of
numerous smart restaurants and romrtlmca
Been in matinee boxes. The KUpp'.e fur,
of tho Benson trim them, shaping wldo or
narrow borders for the ankle length skirts,
''
pressed in costumes whose price may
mount up Into the hundreds; but a number
of the shop gowns, which quite buccibs
fully copy these rxpenslva treasure, are
no more than ffifi, which, when the fret
and fume of the making is considered.
Is quite reasonable.
A "toilette Casino," fashioned for tho
lands of the bamboo tree, Is of pink mous
sellne de sole, trimmed with point de teniae
and bands of blue fox fur. These, In nar
row atrip furua, hold down double ruchlngs
aa well an a return to the narrow frills,
double ruches and simple band trimmings
of tho long ago. Sleeves, elbow or wrist
length, are full without exaggeration, for
the genre of such costumes requires careful
restraint In matters of detail. Indeed, so
entirely without immediate challenge is
their tournure, that they may be worn with
perfect taste by women In the 50s, and It Is
only arter awhile that the onlooker notices
that it Is Mrs. So and So'a frock which is
young and not herself.

and forming the graceful, loose coats,
which may In turn be lined with a con
trasting fur. Bo, since the best materials
of the season aro employed for these gowns
It Is quite easy to understand why they
are designed with double intention.
A number of these smart short suits,
however, are only self-trimmed. So, when
the fur trappings are left off and the
knitted underjacket, which Is now a uni
versal rescurso in cold weather, Is dis
carded, .Aich a ' toilette, since It Is lightly
made, Is possible for the mildest winter
duya.
The old trick of padding and Interlining
everything In winter ta as out of fashion

lamb's wool cor he t covers and "eques
trians" which 1b the polite name for over
dru were soft wool materials, tub habits
and good food women do not begin to feel
the cold as formerly. Then the light and
delicate character of the new furs permits
these becoming ornaments to be worn on
days hitherto Impossible (or them, which
la a great elroka for fair woman, nothing
acttfug off feminine brauty like a rich pelt
of aome sort.
Krinlna Is the grand touch of thla winter,
and right royally It embellishes the beau
tiful velv-ts worn as well' aa the airy tex
tures employed ao largely for evening use.
Ermine acarfs of varylug lengths will
form part oi the south-bound wardrobes,
many replicas of whoa illmy toilettes, 1 tow
ever, will remain In New York fur theater
and reception wear. The most charming
of these gowna are shown by the French
importers, who are exploiting the sublime
simplicity which, to- fall tn high-flown
hyperbole, la costlier than pearls. The
aw set louocence of Uie Ingeoua la ax-
of the mouaaellne, which are placed upon
the skirt above frills of the Venice lace.
The charming bodice has a round lace
bertha set In, and cut low enough to dis
play a dog collar of pearls and brilliants.
The hat Is of white yak lace, with white
and black ostrich feathers, and around the
shoulders, for ornament more than warmth.
Is worn a wide stole of ermine with medal
lions of the yak.
A delightful evening gown designed for a
montha use In Havana la of white tucked
allk gauze inset with thin Russian laoe in
cloelng hand-painted medallions outlined
with spanglea.
Nothing could be more productive of ef
fect for evening use than the tiny spanglea
now employed, mere pin polnta of gold and
stiver, some in uneven masses and glit
tering like sparks. Though not always put
on by hand, they augment the price of a
gown enormously, especially if they are of
the Imported variety, for our own tlneela.
If much cheaper, are by no means as beau
tiful as those which come from France.
Still another white gown which turns to
contrasts of color Is of liberty gause with
chiffon skirt frills and embroideries In
ahaded allka.. A dance frock for a debu
tante la of white chiffon with ruches of the
same above yellow Valenciennes flounces,
and a toilette for a young matron is of
black gause de Paris, with bands In grad
uating widths lit black velvet, held down
by ornamental guipures.
Aa to the form of these dainty toilettes;
which, however rich their materials, ex
press a delicious girllahneaa, the bodice,
whether high or low, la always gathered
full and ..moat ofUu girdled high. The
skirts, tucked and shirred at the hips, re
veal aa Increasing; tan Jastcy toward width.
Covered by long cloaks superbly effective,
the most airy of these simple costumes are
sometimes seen at the theaters, where the
growing habit of going without hats is re
sulting in some tine hairdresslng. Among
the many varieties of ahell and metal
combs displayed by coiffeurs are now aeen
wreaths of small artificial rosea, with a
bow and enda of aatin ribbons, which may
likewise be the privilege of the moat modest
evening function. These pretty trifles are
dubbed "pompadours, but they are not
worn square on the head, as In the time of
the princess of pink and blue, but rathar
rakishly to one side, with the hair beneath
smoothly pompadoured and perhaps a black
patch on the chin.
But the deceitfully simple frocks which
are the order of the day, and all their de
ceitfully simple accessories, if made to
order or bought In Imported shape, are
wofully dear, of course, but remember that
It Is tha fashion to sew, and that this Is the
season for reduced materials.
Strictly speaking, since women have so
entirely gone over to summery textiles,
the sale of fabrics originally devised for
dog day use never enda AH the printed
muslins and embroidered Swisses and silk
nets of August go with women through
the winter, with the exception that they
are cheaper now than they will be later
on. Houce gowna In such texturea have
beea seen all the season and the increas
ing demand for lightness and dalntintss
Is booming the shop stock.
Charming toilettes, suitable for theater
or other evening dressy wear, are made of
French barege in pale colors, ribbon velvet
trimmed. Falo violet la a good choice for
a gown tn such a material, with the vel
vet In a deeper akade and in varying
widths... A more becoming color to the
majority of complexions will be found In
nalo blue, with which white chiffon or
yellow laco vests and underslceves go
splendidly. For that matter, such details
set off any gown, provided it is not in
tended for hard wear, in which case they
create something of a dowdy look. There
Is a time and place for all things; a time
for being fine and a time for being simple,
and whosoever disregards tho law Is in
danger of fashionable extinction.
Insinuating models In south-going mil
linery nre delightful wide shapes in tinted
Panama, noinetlmes shaded with wide cs
trlch feathers, sometimes swathed alone
with yards and yards of gauze in the tama
color.
A Gainsborough model, plquantly be
coming to round cheeks, has the wida
Firing coming over the brim without more
than bending it slightly, to pass below
the chin und tie under the left ear in a big
bow. Another southern chapeau Is made
of pale gray moire, gray tulle and white
camelias, the shape of this one of the wide
crowned sailors to which a heavy way of
trimming gives a very colonial look.
Many hats have suggested the colonial
period this season, but the more exagger
ated in tendency oon disappeared. Only
one ruffled mop shape, generally of velvet,
has held Its own, and when wreathed with
roses and worn by the right head this Is
too charming for words.
Therein lies the gist of effective dress
ing "we must know the rose heaven
has grown foi us alone." By their wisdom
In leaving all others unplucked do women
become members of the masonic order of
fashion.
Wherefore, if the moral Is not Bufflclently
pointed, all those who have not the ethics
of dress at their finger tips, had better
consult more experienced tastes when
making an important purchase. Many a
girl behind a counter can give her custo
mer pointers on dress, and a little apptal
to her tastes will bring forth sympathies
as resourceful as unexpected.
