Basques Of watered silk will be worn
with skirts of surah, trimmed with
MORE.
Blue denim blouses and overskirts
are worn over skirts of lawn tennis
stripes.
Large dots on black, white and col
ored net is the novelty OF the passing
moment for street wear.
Stamped silks are to be the novelty
OF next season. The designs are taken
from playing cards and from Alhambra
wall decorations, or sometimes represent
Egyptian heads.
The eyes of peacock feathers are
massed to make the Argus turbans in
which young girls delight, and wings of
single dark color are added at each
side of the feather bands.
New round fans of pale lilac or deli
cate silver gray satin are painted with
pink gsranium blossoms, bits OF sea-
weed, anemones, and pale blue corn
flowers, and are bordered with gathered
frills Of pearl wrought Spanish lace.
Blackberries, tomatoes, red and yell
low, greengages, dark red plums, hazel
nuts, elderberries, Scottish thistles,
acorns, caterpillars made Of silk chenille
and birds nests filled with tiny eggs
appear upon French bonnets for the
autumn.
A very pretty way for young girl to
arrange her hair is to draw it In smooth
waves off the forehead to the back,
where it may be curled in two short, full
curls, that are held together by an or
namented hairpin, a ribbon bow OF a
small comb.
Shopping sachels Of straw to be
suspended from the belt are made after
the fashion Of the fat, square Russia
leather or tinsel bags. They have
handle and clasps, and on the outside is
tiny pocket just large enough to carry
q small bouquet Of flowers.
Underneath the tight-ftting princess
dress, inventive woman wears skirts of
washing silk, which fall we'll to the
figure. Soft curtain lace is also used
for these petticoats finished with full
coquilles of lace at the hem. The peep
one gets at them as the Eearer moves
her train is very pretty.
Gimps of solid silk closely resem-
bling the richest embroidery are among
themost elegant Of fall dress trimmings.
With these gimps come heavy cords
and elaborate pieces for especial pur-
poses, shaped to fit the collar, cuff,
| plastron, rever CT panel. Crochet and
silk buttons are greatly in use.
A dressy poke bonnet for the fall is
made of ream-colored straw, lined with
bottle-green velvet. The trimming
consists of two pheasants' wings posed
on the right side of the hat. On the
left is q cluster of crimson crushed
roses yelled with Spanish lace. The
broad strings of surah show mixture
Of crimson, cream color and dark green
Velvet forms very important factor
of the autumn fashions. Nothing ex
ceeds it as a trimming for richness anc
elegance. Plush, though exceedingly
effective and elegant, is less durable
and really more expensive than velvet
as the dampness quickly affects thu
downy texture Of the pile, giving it .
hattened, soiled look, destroying th,
fresh appearance Of the most costl,
toilet.
Shepherds plaid dresses Of soft all
wool fabrics, in black and white, blu,
and gold, ruby and cream color, or gra,
and brown, is one Of the materials pa
excellence for ordinary street costume
this fall. A few of the dresses made o
these goods are combined with velvet
but they are usually made up Of killing
of the same. adorned with handsome
buttons of blue or gray steel, or silver
