One pretty lace boa is of blackpoint d’esprit. made up over white silk, and edged with a narrow gold braid. The braid is ant garish, for it is one of the dull varieties of the braid, and ia effective and in good taste, There are czarina, Aiglon, Piccadilly, Xanoleon, Byron, duchess of York and Bonaparte cellars to be variously need on coats, jackets, redingoi/S and elegant evening wraps during' the coming winter season. A pretty effect is ••Ivcu a separate waist by having lapels turned back from the narrow vest the full length of the w.'.ist. 0. <• ;Iy light waist of silk has a narrow vest of white chiffon, and the silk of the waist turned back from it is faced with ].lr,:d. tv.)me charming hats are made of quarter-inch wide strips of line felt r.ml velvet, interwoven in "basket fa.;.ion. The brim is either draped velvet, silk or felt. A variation of this is made by braiding the strips flail) and loosely, then sewing them together in a circular form to fit the crown, The material may be all one color or a mingling of black and white.
