Three typical fashions are: Skull caps that hide the last re- maining vestige of woman's hair. Sports costumes with geometri- cal designs, and with necks deli- berately askew.

Stockings with brilliantly colour- ed heels.

Crazy Sports Wear. Fashion has, literally speaking, gone crazy so far as sports wear is concerned. Mannequins paraded one hall in jumpers in which tho nocks were purposely crooked. In

one jumper, for instance, the V. instead of coming in front, was twisted almost round to the shoulder.

There is craze' for opplique and for patchwork-on jumpers, on coals, on hats. Some manne- quins were wearing sports jumpers and coats boldly marked out in brilliantly coloured circles, trinn- gles, and diagonal stripes. One model was outlined in orange triangles and rising auns.

For morning and afternoon wear, skirts are to be barcly to the knees. So the latest stockings, inatead of having clox or embroi- dery to draw attention to ankles, are ornamented with hand-painted roses or with clox on the knee.

Two-colour stockings are the ange in Paria. If the fashion take on girls will walk Oxford- street in stocking flesh-coloured legs and emomald green heels, or grey lega and scarlet heels. Other stockings are in a lizard-skin pat- tern.

BRAID LAGE CAPS.

FASHION STEPS INTO THE PAST.

If the devotees of fashion are not careful, women will be wearing caps again as of yore-indoor caps of lace and ribbons and other milliner's confectionery,

Already caps, usually of the skull variety, but occasionally in other shapes, are prominent for women's wear at theatres and on other dress" occasions, and much ingenuity is shown by the designers.

The latest idea is a little cap of Ivory or coffee-coloured braid face, exactly like the old-fashioned Jace which years ago was used for mak- ing cushion covers, table centres and other articles of soft furnishing for household decoration.

These lace eaps of to-day look very modern and have ne lining. When the wearer's hair is pretty the effect through the lace is ex- tremely attractive.

These little caps are likely to be seen out of doors during the bright- er days, sometimes accompanied by 'n large flower of bruid lace on the shoulder of the dress. At present they are chiefly being worn
