of crimson velvet and satin, wide and very
long, SO that fine effect is produced when
they are looped and tied. An oval turban or
capote of the gray cloth with putting of
crimson velvet on the edge of the turban
and brim of a capote, with two gray pompons
on one side. The turban is worn far enough
back to show the hair of the wearer; If
capote is preferred, a fold of the velvet
crosses the top and is finished with velvet
ties and no ends under the chin.
Travelling dresses for autumn admit OF
greater variety in color and making than do
those of summer; the weather being cooler,
the dust and crowding less, gives more room
and as il is getting very fashionable to stay at
home and eujoy the luxury of ones home
during the hottest weather, and then when
the crowds have left the seaside and the
mountains, they may have better opportu-
nifty of enjoying their ''outing," with more
room to enjoy it in /; and never does hand
some travelling costume give so much salts
faction as when those about you look the
worse for wear as do those which have en-
dured the dust and heat of summers jour
ney- All the browns, grays, greens and
mode shades are in use for costumes for
these autumn travelling suits. Collars and
cuffs of white linen, no jewelry except the
short watch chain is worn. The umbrella
should be of silk, and large enough to afford
protection to its owner should shower come
up.
Peasants waists are made of velvet and
worn with any round waist, which should be
made with bishop sleeves.
The moliere vest is often made so as to be
easily adjusted to different waists.
MILLINERY.
In the days of our grandmothers two bon
nets year sufficed for the most dressy
danes; one for dress and another for COM
mon wear. The times are indeed changed,
for with hat for walking, one for yachting,
one for coaching, mountain climbing, makes
half dozen at time necessary, to say
nothing of carriage, opera, and others, for
which there seems to be no especial occasion.
| The autumn months seem almost dedicated
to hats, for there is a greater Demand for
them than for bonnets, and even if bon
net is worn the strings are omitted by many
matron, thus giving a hat-like effect.
! Colored straws continue to be favorltes for
the autumn months. The fashionable shape
for small hats is the oval turban, which is as

Of crepe are becoming popular, particularly
in crimson, gray and mode and the purple
tones. Crepe does not look as heavy as silk
and allows of velvet as an adjunct, and re-
iieves one of entire velvet till later in the
season. Gold, silver and pearl beaded pins
are worn in bonnets and hats, and q great
number are placed on one bonnet so that one
may count as many as ten on one,
hat or bonnet, and that is not an excessive
number Feathers, wings aud birds are in as
great demand as ever, ard all the birds that
| entered the ark are represented, and some
that certainly did not, for they are not made
| in the likeness of any living thing, to say
nothing of their being in the likeness of
birds. Whole birds, breast, wing,
beak, one feather, or two feathers, bit of
the down even are used in decorating hats
and bonnets. The good taste of the wearer
is the only thing to help in the decision of
size, color or general fitness in choosing, for
some ladies at thirty-tive can wear younger
or more dressy bonnet than can those at
twenty-five, fair complexion, brightness of
eyes, and finally expression must determine;
but all, young, middle aged, all can wear
the capote, either with or without brim, for
the capote has no age, and is equally becom-

fluffy pompons or swaying ostrich tips, and
broad lace ties for middle age or velvet bows
at one side or under the chin, bids fair to be
the favorite for the present
