There are also short capes of ermine velours and crepe paysan; they are best in white.

An Era of Beautiful Evening Gowns.

VICTORIAN REVIVALS.

"Satins, silks lames, velvet and all such fabrics of luxury and beauty are in request by the best dressed among women," writes the Hon. Mrs. C. W. Forrester in the Daily Telegraph."

The evening mode of to-day, in fact, will leave a definite mark on the history of costume.

Flower Scents Are Popular.

Parisiana are "perfume con- scious" these days. Now scents are i In the air, and the methods of us- ing them are completely changed. ;

The old "piquant, perfumes" which women used last year ́ are gone. In their place are alluring scents which fit the role of famin- inity women have adopted.

The vogue for a dozen different scent for as many different activi- ties is over. "Perfumed personall ty" is the watchword, and some smart women are going back to the days of DuBarry in choosing scents to indicate individuality.
