FASHION NOTES Autumn and Winter, 1005. Velvet faced cloth and Oaahmn* art the three moat favoured of materials for winter gowns. ' The shade* and colour combinations which ere fashionable thia year are mora varied than haa been tbe - case for sometime past. The colour that had a great vogue in the fashion centre, of Peris, London and New York, was brown.' There are numberless tonez of. __ brown which are very attractive and * it is such a nice warm colour for winter, added-to which reasons for ita , popularity is the all important fact that it is a very generally becoming shade. There are quite a numberless lot of new shades of brown and many of the old one. have been christened anew: Tobactpq brown. Golden brown. Mole-, skin, Muskrat, Caoutchouc, Mustard brown, Mahogany, Burnt Orange, Tan and the numerous wood colours - are all in favour Threading! of velvet ribbon form an effective trimming. Brown cashmere threaded with orange, velvet with yoke and cuffs of the same trimming makes a most .charming gown. Panne ia another charming fakrio, and is used for trimming.purpoeea in the form of incrustations or pipings. Bright shades of panne in green, rose, or the new shade of peacock blue are seen on black gowns. Panne or doth incrustations are edged with a ruobing of Ribbon to - match the colour of the trimming. Ribbon Embroidery is . much favoured as a trimming for smart gowns, and is decidedly effective. Dressing in one oolour throughout, but in different shades of the colour, ia always smart, and Irown affords a capital opportunity to oa ry this fad to the furthest limit?., and the woman with a good eye for oolour has the chance this season of being - most smartly and becomingly turned out. Never before has there been such a marvellously large choice of waist, bands, belts, and sashes. Perhaps the most original of all models is that known as the waistcoat belt, for it partakes of the nature of a waistcoat and a belt. They are built of soft kid, tinted to the exact shade of the gown worn', closing in front either with a double row of buttons, or else with a hand embroidered . motif; the.cut and shape is of the nature of a Swiss Belt, "and must fit the figure completely without any creases at the sides. Some of the leather used in tho, formation of belts is so supple that it has the appearance of velvet, especially in some of the delicate ait shades. Some of the classio belts of soft kid are held wide-stretch-- at the; bade with gilt buttons, and fasten with a small buckle in front. The Liberty satin belt is.very much in favour, and may harmonise with the oolour tone of the dress material or be in contrast with it. - Most of the croap-gatherad bodices - have tucked up sleeves that end at the elbow, whence the cuff is almost skin tight. There is a marked tendency to Introduce the pelerine with the gigot sleeve, with its voluminous gathers at the top. The sleeves ot some of the new blouses an enormously wide at the top, and .for elaborate models there is sometimes. a tight lace sleeve coming from underneath tha wide pagoda over.sleeves.- -' - ■ - ..; .*■ - ' Another type of sleeve is gathered .down the outer side, the fullness forming puffs that finish just below the elbow; this goes welLwith the gathered skirt, Then there are sleeves formed of large puffs with kittings brought from the inner side of the elbows^to the outer side of the shoulders. ! Upon dres.y blouses one frequently sees fanciful elbow - sleeves finished v /•with frills of lace, chiffon or silk muslin, but the sleeves of the practical blouse are usually ol the bishori model, or of some form of the full puffed npper sleeve with long closefitting ouff. - This is 4 season when brown fart , are extremely fashionable. Sable is .in the lead, but mink and the many sable dyed fox skins are effective and add greatly to the beauty and finished appearance of many a costume. " • - Our exhibit of Fare this season will be found to be very elaborate. Some of the named new shapes are "The Princess," in sable, marmot, and grey Persian lamb; "The Dorothy," a very wide shape with long square ends in madnot, stone marten, and mink; "The Granville," • stylish rounded shape in white or grey fox or foxeline.
