Copper shades with electric blue,
strawberry red with rifle green, and
brown with green, are the CONTRASTS of
colors favored for autumn toilets.
Very long stemmed roses are the arti-
fetal flowers most desirable for corsage
bouquets. A single rose cost 81, and
from five to ten are mounted in group.
Combinations of black and white are
as popular as ever. Petticoats are made
of it, while the upper portion of the
costume may be black silk, cashmere or
nuns yelling.
At the millinery openings last week,
muffs were shown to match bonnets
The soft muff Of velvet or plush trimmed
with chenille fringe is prettiest with
dark bonnets.
Cloth costumes are increasing in
favor. Tiny checks. such as are seen
in gentlemen's business suits, are liked
for those toilets, and are shown in dark
shades.
Castellated edges make tasteful
finish for basques and skirt front
breadths Of cloth and cashmere dresses.
They are made more effective by being
welted with cord or fold of bias silk.
Red woolen goods are lavishly used
for little people. Scarlet kits, with
dark blue blouses, scarlet grounds with
blue guimps, or with scarlet, are fre.
quently seen and are usually becoming.
New basques are single e-breasted.
When ornamental bust drapery is added
it takes the form of long guimpe, or
short plastron, either square or oval,

of plush or velvet thrown up on q
corded silk surface.

folded around the crown, and dagger
or arrow of gilt, bronze or silver is
thrust into the band.

out of use almost for a generation are
being draped on petticoats and trains OF
the stately dresses worn at dinner par
ties. Ohantilly, Spanish and Guipure
are the favorite black laces for founces.
Bonnets covered with scarf of the
lac. to match are worn with these
dresses at receptions.
Oarrick capes take away the stiff,
plain look of cloth redingotes. They
are made of plush with turnei-down

ment with the collar covered with
braiding, and border of braiding on
