Their hold on fashion.
The STRoSG LEATHER BELT. black. dark red
o. blue. is considered an almost Indispensable
adjunct of the travelling costume.
GREEN AND BRONZE is among the new cOmb-
nat IONS in wraps reception dresses. In some
OF the brOcades tie cOloring in these shades is
very harmonious.
SIMPLICITY is the rule in all articles for wear
Ing apparel for children. and any considerable
deviation from the present sensible mode OF

yellow, black and red, cinnamon brown stained

white fleece.
WINTER TOILETS will have the skirts merely
pleated at the back, the breadths being then al
lowed to fall loose over a simulated skirt which
Is edged round the foot With a narrow iOunce
OF futlng. This is the nearest approach to
simplicity achieved. for the front and sides of
many skirts are trimmed or draped more or less
elabOrately.
The BLENDING of many colors In the same
fabric gives an antique grace to many costumes.
and also permits latitude of taste in the selec-
ton of the cOlOrs of the ribbons and other ac-
cessOres of the toilet.
LACE FICHUs are made OF soft laces and crepe
lisse and end in jabot down the front OF the
basque to the waist. For house wear some of

and have turn down collars Some of the black
and dark blue ones are embroidered i'm thread
OF the same color.
Blush, BReNzED, AND AMBER BEADS in sew
eral shades are as much in use as they were last
winter. Embroideries of this kind are even on
garments trimmed with fur. Skirts are worked
In most artistic ways with fiat embroidery and
raised soutache work combined. Gilt or silver
threads are taken around the designs.
DAINTY DRESSING Gowns are made of pale
blue canton flannel with the fleecy side turned
In. and trimmed with blue silk pockets, cuffs
and collar The pale tinted striped flannels are
also popular for dressing gowns and are made
with numerous gathers or piaits at the neck

FOR BOYS DRESS SUITS either velveteen or
velvet will still be worn The jacket is a trife
longer than last years styles. while the knee
breeches are buttoned with three or four but
tons above the knee. sometimes and with
quaint effect these trousers are buckled at the
knee with a silver buckle. Black stockings
are almost always worn with these suits.
CORAL. which has been trying so hard to get
chance again in the favor of the English
ladies. has at length succeeded. and anyone
who has a set of corals may get them out and
have them furnished up against the day when
sure to be at no late date
THE MATERIALS for dinner and evening have
rarely been as bright-hued and richly varied as
they are this season, and some of the imported
silks are particularly striking. The patterns are
as numerous as the individual pieces and vie
with each other in beauty of color aud design
As Yet bllt few of these materials are made up,
s. the fair purchasers are still lingering at their
country seats and letting the fashions take
Care OF themselves until the frost drives them
back.
REVIVAL emanating from the highest quar-
tiers is that of the lochet or pendant worn at
the throat with open dresses-one of the few
ornaments suitable and becoming to all ages
Nothing unites richness and simplicity more
than glttering diamond pendant cross. de
