VIVID COLOURS.

A startling winter novelty is tho outdoor coat made like a jumper to pull over the head and given a hugO circular collar of fur. There are no fastenings in this coat, which continues straight down in a tube outline.

Other eccentricities in fur are the" the bolero on a lone fur coat, only possible with extremely supple skins and the waistcoats, which form a continuation of the roll collars in some contrasting .pelt, which aro placed in fur coats. Frocks in the daytime will be more startingly gorgeous than for some time,, as they will be made of lame. Both gold and silver are seen, but the smai-test novelty in this rich tissue is the coloured lame dotted all over with large gold and silver/spots.

Some of the new velour hats are of the brightest colours, it being anew idea of milliners that winter calls for these and anything that is sweet and sober-coloured does for summer. The vagabond hats made of velour now have much wider brims, they flop on to the shoulders at the back almost like a dustman's head gear. You must we.°r a choker necklace with them, or a >eari, to look really chic. Many people have given up using •he compact powder box for day time use, as these wear through so quickly, and they keep their ipuffs in leather or brocade purses. This is very practical, but ,of ~ course, the purse must contain nothing else but powder.
