("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.

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

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.
