Some of the new colors found in fall vel

dura, and Havana cigar browns; also seal
| and mink fur shades, hazel, nut shade,
and iron-rust browns, vert de girls, cresson,
and bronze shades of green, and coquecot,
or poppy red.
new lace collar called the 'sMarguerite,'
is made of pleated Oriental lace laid over
stiff net. The edges are wired, and the
very broa d frill is ornamented with tiny pearl
beads. This pleated collar is fitted very
closely to the shoulders, ending in front in
full airy jabot which reaches in a tapering
shape to the belt. This style of collar is re-
peated in one of black Escurial lace outlined
with Jet beads, and another of real black
! Spanish dotted with gold.
All the laces that one owns can be utilized
to advantage at this moment for day or eve
ming toilets. Even the old-fashioned lace
scarfs are found useful, being arranged in
draperies and paniers on the upper part of
the skirt when one has not enough fiouuces
to cover it entirely. Square and pointed
lace shawls are likewise utilized, the first for
| polonaises, and the second for oyer-skirts or
| tabliers.
There is a revival of classic skirts, en-
tireIy covered from top to bottom with lace
founces OF different widths to suit the fancy
With these skirts are worn demi-reding otes
OF all kinds of silk stuffs, plain, figured, with
large and small designs. These demi-redin-
gotes DO not cover any part of the front of
the skirt, and fall straight behind in three
large round pleats, or else in q half-skirt
! gathered and sewed to the waist from one
under-arm seam to the other. This kind of
redingote should always be made of heavy
| silk, whether plain or brocaded matters little,
| provided that it is thick. A dress of this
kind can even be worn for visiting toilette
If the laces are black, and the redingote me
dunn are dark colored for evening; the red
ingote should be light salmon, pale blue, pale
red, or pink, with the skirt covered with
black, or else cream or white lace. For ev-
ening toilettes the corsage is open at the
throat. and the half-long sleeve is made of
lace, thus making Louis XIV. dress in ex-
cellent taste.
Very useful to take the place of cambria
and other wash dresses are those of tussure,
these being excellent for wear in every sense,
cool, but easily soiled, washing well, and
most enduring. The shade of the unpattern-
ed tussore is not always becoming, and to obvi-
ate this flowers and tiny palms or geometric-
al figures are wooked in colored silks on the
surface. This relieves the monotonous hue
of the material, and silk or velvet Of one
| plain color may be introduced as a trimming
if desired. There are few running patterns
to be seen. The most are small and isolated
Some very pretty tussore silks for autumn
| walking costumes have dark wood brown or
! ruby designs worked upon them in deep pat
| terms for 1ouncing, and narrower for bodice
| and tuntc. A handsome suit exhibited has
the skirts of tussore embroidered in rich Nea-
politan blue silk with Jersey above of
dark blue silk stockine cite, enriched with a
raised embroidery in shaded silks and che
mile. Tussore resembles alpaca in texture.
only that it is still finer, snd we all know the
enduring properties of that at present de-
| spised fabric.
| With the jackets of kinds that are in prep
aration for the Autumn and winter. vests
| will be almost Indispensable. They will be
made of all shapes and sizes, showing only
at the neck between the revers, or else only
at the middle of the bust, between the cut
away fronts of the jacket, which is high at
| the throat, at the bottom of the waist, or all
the way from the throat to the waist line I'M
der the cut-away jacket. They will be pointed
with small basques, or with large square
| flaps. There will be the same diversity with
| respect to the material of the aforesaid
vest, which of course, must harmonic with
| the material and style of the dress For
morning. the vest is made of wool, silk or vel
vet Of a medium or dark color; for after
noon or dinner wear, on the contrary it is
of rich materials Powered or velvet figuered
satin, stuffs mixed with gold, sc. 1t is often
of q color different from that of the skirt and
is also frequently like it especially for
morning or full-dress dinner toilette. En-
broidery plays an important part in its deco
ration, of in that of all the toilettes of the
present day, being of chenille, gold, shaded
beads, etc.
1t is still predicted that draperies will dis
appear, but this is unlikely. They will be
much simpler; that is all. One of the pref
test and simplest styles of draping consists
in having the overskirt almost as long is The
underskirt, then letting the left arm fall its
whole length, grasping the skirt with the ends
of the fingers, and drawing it up to the hips:
nothing more. This suffices to display the
underskirt, and produces an excellent, effect
especially with thin stuffs-among others,
black or cream lace.
Raw silks and foulards are more worn this
year than ever before. The great beauty of
these materials is that they never looked
soiled or rumpled, and seem to be the two
things that can be worn with IMMUNITY for
driving that do not. They possess another
great quality; they are very light, and yet of
