THE SPREAD OF THE SALE FEVER, The winter sales undoubtedly give a wel come fillip to women's rather jaded interest in dress affairs in January. The hiatus that gecurs between the absorption of the winter fashions and the oncoming of the new spring, models, seems adequately filled in by these half-yearly functions. Enthusiasts brave the hurly-burly, rough and tumble of the crowded shops with as bold an insouciante as any Suffragette un militant tactics bent. They care not if their doings are food for the pen of humourist or philosopher alike, so long as the net result of their campaiga affords them satisfying proof of its utility.

A leading tailor told me, laugh- ingly, the other day, that, judging from his own clientele, half the world seemed bent on wearing black! At nỗi the big functions in the fall of the year, black and various schemes of magic colouring were quite the most favoured wear. At the Sunday Skating

Yet one can no longer afford to ignore the sales it is a disease that spreads. Indeed, so much attention is now bestowed in dress on what the French term "la grâce des détails" that the smartest women joke about in the shops for odds and ends of priceless face and embroideries with as keen an in- terest as a connoisseur scours the country for sortie unique specimen of faience furniture to add to his collection !
FUR AS TRIMMING.
Strips of fur, judiciously chosen, are an excellent Investment at the present time, when house frocks, evening gowns and clonks are all edged with some form of peltry, The small barrel" muff, now again coming into favour, is often made of the same material as the coat, adorned with broad bands of fur as trimming. Mention should be made in this connection of the new theatre muff, an outcome of the theatre bag, whose. caparity was never equal to the denrands anake upon it. At a recent first-night a well- lown actress in the stalle was carrying one of these, fashioned of white satin to match her dress. The ermine bands that outlined the décolletage were repeated on the muff so as fo mask the opening of the pocket that hold the fan, handkerchief and opera glasses, etc., without which no self-respecting modern wonian visits the theatre.
LINGERIE BARGAINS.

Another phase of this mode is shown in the dack net or satin scarf slashed with broad insertions of black Chantilly. This scarf is made very wide, and mounted over a white satin fourreau. The fullness of the net is swathed across the bodice diagonally in one-sided effect, then drawn over the hips, back and front, before being finally caught low down at one side beneath jewelled
cabochon. The other shoulder is veiled in a trellis-works epaulet of pearls fringed with pearl-beaded trimming. A huge stole of ermine worn with such a dress gives it the most undeniable cachet. Black Chantilly lace is now immensely popular both with old and quite young women. A dress of white satin or taflets, veiled in Chantilly over an interlining of airy diamanté chiffon that shimmers deliciously through the cobwebby mesh of the lace, achieves an-immediate and well-deserved success.

The note of black is even extended to the side frills, which by their very ubiquity were threatened with extinction. They now sur- vive triumphantly in a wide, shaped revers of real jact, bild flat on the revers of the coat proper, to which it is attached by a dainty, jewelled pin.
