will be very fashionable dress fabrics
this fall combined with silk plush or
velvet shade darker.

dotted black satin oyerdress, trimmed
with goldwrought Spanish lace, makes
an elegant and becoming toilet.
Outside dress pockets are no longer
seen, the one useful pocket being deK
terously concealed among the folds OF
the tunic or under the drapings of the
scarf or panier.
Judging by the early importations
the colors and combinations which
promise to reign in dress fabrics next
fall are, il possible, more striking and
original than any heretofore exhibited.
Costumes OF ecru tussore are fashion
able for watering-plac and seaside
resorts, and are trimmed with bayadere
tussore in ombrc stripes Or plaids show
ing soft, bright colors pIettily blended.
Terra-cotta shades will be very fash
| ionable this autumn in soft wooden
fabrics, trimmed with Roman plaided
or Persian striped surah, or more ele-
gantly with panels, reyers, vests, cuffs
and pelerines Of seal-brown plush.

by natty young ladies, but instead Of q
single black or pearl-colored one there
will be variety in the rich shades Of
dark admiral blue, hunters green,
dahlia color, olive and seal-brown, to
match various street costumes.

which are set large bows fastened with
broad square buckles OF Rhenish peb-
blcs, are worn with garden party cos
tunes. The heels are only moderately
high, with but little curve to them, but
the shoes are fine in shape, as the in
steps are cut high and are gracefully
srched in true Spanish style.

A coat sleeve made for working
dress should be gathered on the under
side at the elbow, unless il is made
loose enough to enable the arm TO move
freely. The generality Of sleeves are
made too tight for day wear.
The parasol is chosen now more with
relation to the bonnet than the dress.
The taste Of las; year which allowed a
red parasol to accompany a bonnet in
gold trimmings is not now considered
in good style.
