veilings of every color surahs from white
| to black, and French and American sateens
! in profusion. A pale blue surah is made
! into q handsome costume with white
! Oriental pieee-lace and edge; the skirt
i has two plaitings of the surah, coy
/ cred with lace, then 4 draping of the net
! plain on the front and sides, elaborately
/ draped in the back; the basque is plainly
! covered with the net, having the collar
! covered with it, and the edge around the
neck trims each front en- iabot.
Autumn wraps, aside from the pclerines
! of velvet and Ottoman silk to match the
costume, are made either in the visite
shape-a style which has lost none of its
| popularity-ror in the modified Hubbard
shape, so becoming to slender women.
These models for general wear seem likely
to continue i'll fashion through the cool
season for mantels of silk and brocade,
while the newer, longer, French shapes will
be preferred for fabrics of heavier tescrip-
ton. The black corded silk pelisse, lined
with thin surah and richly trimmed with
black lace and tots of black satin ribbon,
will form the most stylish and elegant tran
sition from the lace pelerine of summer to
the heavy winter cloak.
The Spanish fashion of wearing black
gloves with full evening dress is kept in
vogue by the great attractiveness of black
toilets composed of lace, brocaded grena-
dine, escurial net and tulle. The most
dressy of the black silk gloves now worn
are delicatcly embroidered in black silk
| floss up the entire length of the arm, and
other pretty styles show q ruching of black
jet-beaded lace at the top of the glove, with
tracery on the outside of the hand pOr-
ton. Long black silk mits are worn with
RIBBON bows of black satin placed half way
| up their length and q band and bow of
| the same at the tops
In bodices the great change is they are
now TO be quite high or quite low. For
| dinner or evening parties the low dress,
| bridling the shoulders, is worn with the
Marie Antoinette fichu of tullc lace or
| muslin trimmed with embroidery or lace.
| For uemi-toilct, the bodice has plas-
| tron of lace, galIZe or embroidered tullc,
under which the material of the dress
| may be cut low, but the piastron itself is
| high to the neck and finished with a thick
| ruche. As for out-oi-door dresses, they are
| all made very high, with narrow turned
UP collar round the neck.
A wise thought applied to petticoats is
| this No matter how handsome the flOunCe
| is on the pettiCoat. it is q WEAKNESS of flesh
| to the woman who cannot afford To have
another as soon As this becomes frayed
at the edge, as it does very soon. TO re
| move all this trouble, finish the petticoat at
| the bottom before putting the tounce on,
with ruille of the plain white cambria.
| Then when You set the flounce on see that
| it is placed high enough up ON the skirt so
that the rufiie will just appear below it.
There is new way of trimming the
armholes of dresses. A piece of medium
| sized velvet or ribbon goes entirely round,
and the two ends which meet on the top of
| the shoulder are tied in Il graceful looped
bow. When the sleeve is long one, a
similar trimming is placed just above the
! elbow and tied to correspond. but with no
ends Of any length. The band is frequently
repeated al the neck, tying behind.
The old-faShioned cameo bracelets are
now made into dog collars for the throat
! by fastening the two together in front with
the regular clasp, and if the clasps on the
| other side make the necllet too long, then
a velvet ribbon. sewn to the links of the
last cameo but one is tied behind. and the
extra canoes are used to f;gsten the velvet
| bands on the arm.
Gray gloves will be very fashionable
whether of silk, isle thread, dressed or I'M
| dressed kid.
