Harvest paper is one of the newest and
most fashionable kinds. 1t is fine linen pa

wheat, bunch OF grapes, or some similar

Very few of the gray dresses now so much
| in vogue are trimmed with colors Here and
| there you see dash of mulberry or crimson
velvet but although both colors harmonIze
| with and look effective against gray, they are
| not considered in nearly such good taste as
| an entire gray dress either trimmed with
marabout feather trimming, or made up with
| velvet OF deeper shade either plain or
| brocaded.
Moreen is again in use for Balmoral skirts
that are worn next the dress The prefer
| ence for black Balmorals continues, but those
of gray and ofscarlet moreen are also import

three box-pleated frills around the foot.
Many plush capes worn just now, and
| with good deal of wadding they nearly
| as warm as fur. The collars are high, and
| the half sleeves set in in the fashionable
| way. In color they are expected to match
| the costume worn with them, or, otherwise,
to correspond to that of the dress trimmings.
| A new shade of plush, very thick and heavy,
exactly matching the color OF natural beaver

capes. These come with jockey caps and
muffs to match.
Some of the newest overdreSses are so long

! or panier overskirt. Either style is equally
| fashionable. The question of suitability and
becomingness is therefore the only matter
| to be settled in making a choice of the two
very opposite styles.
very beautiful evening costume, made
| for bride has an underdress of violet satin
covered with ruffles Of Oriental lace ten inches
| deep. These waves of lace are caught up
| here and there by ornaments of amber and
| turquoise. Above this is a Louis Qulnze

There are no decided fashions in gloves.
| Long mousquetaire or short buttoned gloves
| fastened by four buttons are chosen either

| the edge of their plain tailor sleeves choose
| the buttOned dressed glove but if the fair
wearer desires to draw the glove over the
| sleeve in the style of English girlsshe chooses
| a long Suede or dressed Kid glove. The but
ton glove usually matches or harmonizes in
color with the costume, while the nous
| quetaire may be chosen in contrast to the
| costume in any of the shadowy gray hnes of
| the season or in the stylish autumnal leaf
| browns which range in tint from the golden
maple leaves Of September To the dead, with
cred leaves of November. Fruit shades are
| also introduced this fall in tints and shades
| of purple grapes red grapes and blue dam
