crs and leaves of solid bronze and gold
bullion. The brocade bodice has a
vest of seal satin ornamented with rich
aiguilettes of seal and gold.
Among the new dress models, one Of
the most effective styles is the Gilda
basque and Clotildc skirt. 1t is suita-
BILE for all wool goods trimm d with
braid or velvet or any fat garniture.
In a model seen, the material was
brown ladies' cloth. The front breadth
was narrow and covered with different
widths in braid in various brown
shades, put on crosswise. This was
laid in one large side plat each side
of the center on the foundation SKIRT.
The plain cloth was so arranged to
form a very large triple box plait at
each side. giving the effect of panels.
The back drapery was Topped high,
hanging in most graceful folds. The
Gilda basque is open in front, closing
with one button Just below the bust,
then cut away. showing a pointed vest
trimmed with braid matching tho
skirt.
The Elton basque and Florilla skirt
form a lovely combination for silk and
velvet. while the Castalia basque is
very effective with the Orinthia skirt.
This model was represented in dark
blue wool goods with a small embroi-
dered figure in red nd a lighter shade
of blue at regularintervals. Dark blue
silk was used for the plastron. while
the CORSET was of blue velvet. This
and the skirt were trimmed with Kur-
sheedt wool lace matching the ground
color of the material The volvetcol-
lar is fastened at the right side under
a bow of velvet.
A stylish and practical costume for
autumn is in dark green serge trimmed
with wide giant braid in black. The skirt
is formed of large kilt p!aits. and upon
each one is placed the entire. length a
row of this braid, leaving a part OF the
material visible forward of it. Over
tn is worn the Cambria p%olonaise,
with a narrow vest OF green velvet;
The braid is used only on the front and
sleeves of the %polonaise. outlining the
vest. and the effect is enhanced by a
fine gold soutache brad set on III q
curled pattern on one edge.
Polonaises have taken q new lease OF
popular favor, and there are many new
and graceful designs. The Rotha is a
new design. with double-breastcd front
and long enough to t.over the dress
skirt. The Amarclla is also an at
t~ractive model, not at all difficult to
make.
Silk gloves will be worn late in tho
autumn, and the exhibit in colors
matching clothes is most a~ttractIve'
while the prices are decidedly low.
The most desirable are the long Dlack
ones. and so perfect are they I'm shoo
that they are almost as handsome as
black kid. and certa My for shopping
and ordinary wear are much more COM
Portable. The longest OF the Jersey
gloves are about. thirty buttons lenge!h.
and can be hal in all the Popu:ss
eolors. -Brooklyn Eagle
