NEW YEAR'S FASHION FEATURES

Hats will be higher than in the past aason, and are generally dark, with might trimmings. Greens, browns, im-ples, and blues in the new shades '.re good. For evening, a high neckline and low decolletage are combined, and the tunic follows the figure with a slightly backward flare, and a definite bustle, yCt the general outline is tubular. The materials are faille or lame and black velvet. Very gorgeous are the evening coats of brocaded velvet, worn with a scarf tied Ascot fashion, thus introducing the high neckline. The waist-line is high and the bodice tight. _ The dinner suit of lam© is a glamorous affair. It has a hand-crocheted coat resembling a coat of mail, and is cut on tailored lines, and worn with a crepe skirt, and scarf blouse with a high neckline. The skirt is tubular, but slightly longer than for day wear. Details of the new season ore interesting. Button shoes, for instance, are revived. All sorts of quaint accents are used on necklines. Linked silver hearts finish a suede belt, or more amusing is the lugubrious fish buckle in silver relief. Skirts have unusual hemlines, including the scalloped effect, or the divided one with a pleated back of contrasting colour. Picturesque .jackets include the period types, with high necklines and fitted waists. Backlines feature the low decolletage and tubular effect.
