HIS, i.- in uii ; ; -. v -, V By Lady Duff-Gordon ("LUCILE") ERY recently I discussed the new "Top per Hats," which are decidedly meant for the tailor-made girl. But here Is something also entirely new which the tailor made maid cannot wear at all, and which is de signed especially 'or her "fluffy sort" of sister. It Is the "Peek-a-Boo" bat, and It can be gotten up In any number of combinations of materials that is, nets and tulles combined with satins or velreta. Of course, as one must look through the visor, this must be of diapha nous material. They can be used for afternoon wear, or, in more elaborate shapes, for the evening. The one Illustrated In the centre of this page is an afternoon hat of black tulle and bronze satin, with a tall wisp of citron ostrich at the back. Don't you think these are comfortable for a cold Winter's day? For between this young lady's high fur collar and the brim of her bat, which shields her nose, there Is not much chance for old Jack Frost. The combinations for evening wear can be as fairy-like or as gorgeous as is possible to con ceive. For Instance, a charming little cap of brocade with a little flare at the edge from which drops pale pink net, and this ends In a broad band of silver Just around the nose and mouth. The effect is somewhat like the "yash mak" which the Turkish ladies have made so well known. by ths Star Company. Great Britain Rights Reserved, X. . T m I T W 1 4 f 10 Hats of Black Tulle and Bronze Satin CLaclW Model) In the upper right hand corner Is shown one of the new evening dresses in old-blue taffeta and blue and silver lace. Everything about It is new and most characteristic of the things that are to be worn this season. There is the old fashioned "bertha," with the line off the shoulders, and a little pointed bodice. The skirt is draped up on each side, and is caught with a cluster of many colored flowers. A little cap of blue lace Is worn with It and puts a finishing touch to the costume, which really carries the modern girl back to the time of lier dear grandmother. Stripes were worn last season, to be sure, but after all Is there anything quite so start ling and really good looking? On the left Is a startling coat of black and white striped vel vet, with black fox fur collar and cuffs and a wide band of the same fur around the bottom. A little black velvet bat with a brilliant orange ostrich pompon is worn with it. Quite in line with the revival of a number of quaint, old-fashioned things are the pantalettes. From the day some seasons ago that the "ha rem gown" dawned upon us there has been a strong urge toward tills idea for women. Whether the insistent, ever-growing demand of "Votes for Women" has had anything to do with this yearning for masculine shaped attire I do not know. But here let me remark In pass, lug that the gown la the oldest form of dress v '"- II 'I. if Une of the New Evening Dresses of Old Blue Taffeta and Blue Silver Lace ("Lucile" Model) L' ADY DUFF-GORDON, the famou "Lucile" of London, and foremost creator of fashions in the world. writes each week the fashion article for this newspaper, presenting all that is newest and best in style for wcil-dressed women. Lady Duff-Gordon's Paris establishment brings her into close touch with that centre of fashion. for a man and the bifurcated garments the old est for women. At any rate, the pantalette li with us. It is actually conceived to take the place of petticoats, and they do not resemble the old Turkish effect at all. Of course this fashion is going to have Hi exaggerations and absurdities. In Its best form it is a sort of a princess slip in which the upper section is utilized for a blouse. After the dress skirt is slipped on very little of the pantalette is disclosed to gaze. It does not reach to the hoe tops, and glimpses of it simply give the impression of a petticoat. Contrasting colors are sought in these panta lette effects, and some of them are sumptuous Indeed. I have seen one in which the panta lette Is made entirely of satin, lavishly trimmed with gold lace, and still another made up ot row after row of the most exquisite lace imag inable. There is no denying that the pantalette is going to be very useful for the dance. Another ot the new oddities is the reappear ance of the wide sleeves, and I have seen one of the French models where the sleeves meas ured fully three-fourths of a yard across. The Umness of the upper part of the figure is kept because the shoulders are extended to form a sort of fitted cap for the wide arm covering. This kimono shoulder acts as a point from which to hang large puffs of the sleeves. The kimono is used also in some gowns where the foundation skirt has the whole hem wadded after the manner of this Japanese garment. Of course, as I have said, the colors on most ot the models will be immense. So will the cuffs be, and next week I will show you a very odd and, I think, charming new dress la which these wide cuffs have been utilized In a new and useful way. And, by the way, the fur cuff is likely to be popular as a shoe top adjunct. These shoe top cuffs are detachable, and the fur may match that of the scarf or of the muff. While the belt Is going out of favor, still girdles and sashes are not lacking In the new models. So far as the placement of the waist line is concerned the choice Is wide. If one decides on the elon gated effects, then she may keep to the type of corset that she has worn for the last two or three years. If, however, she electa the snug fitting line, it will be necessary to adopt one of the new corset models, with the nlpped-ln waist, , designed for the foundation of Just such girdle effects. And, to go back to furs again and to their manifold uses, one of the most interesting is the set composed of hat and scarf. Hats can be small or big; and the fur on them Is frequently used for the entire crown, but by far the smart est models employ a quilted silk with a band ot fur and caught up on one side with some novel ornament. The general shape of the matching scarf is that of the "choker," and there are no depending pieces where the neck piece fastens. Sometimes the top Is rimmed with soft fur instead of quilting, and as the sea son grows on these hat "chokers' will prob ably be made all of fur. I, I I 1 I 4 W !.....,...' . :1 ' ;:.' 1 '3.
