Eccentric and Extravagant Edicts Issued
By the Queens of Fashion.
One of the new round hats for autumn
L. called the s'Chapeau a Crenaux," and
a model of this name is made of dark
green rushes closely braided in basket
patterns. The wide brim turns up very
high on n side, and simply curves
over the face on the other.
The hat is faced with dark
myrtle green velvet and around
the eccentric-looking, conical crown
are laid, one above another, large full
half volumes of old gold, scarlet, dark
green and bronze. The hat is designed
to be worn en- suite with a tailor-made
gown of Scotch tweed. whose vari-col-
ored checks are reproduced in the
| plumes on the "chapeau."
Bodices round-waisted and arranged
with surplice fronts are decided favor
ties. A tasteful name of varying their

of cream-colored India batiste. The
dress had the usual round-waisted, full
bodice, and above this was a pointed
Swiss girdle made of golden-brown vel

and passed over the shoulders, the ends
of which sloped to a point, being fas-
tened underneath the girdle. The fancy
is capable of not a few variations, and
many would prefer the bretelles without
the addition of the Swiss girdle, al
though the braces alter their effect con-
siderably. This identical style is always
noticeable IN pictures of Italian women,
and the Norwegian national peasants
dress presents some of the same charac-
teristics.
"Toby" ruf1es made of rich laces are
again in vogue, and ladies with long,
slender threats, who wear their hair
dressed high, find these graceful frills
very becoming. The ruffles are not OF
Elizabethan stiffness and circumference,
but are more dainty-looking and com.
pact. A series of velvet ribbon loops
set at intervals around the edge of the
frills, and falling over the bodice in
front, remove some of the rather prim
effect of the Toby frill proper.
The waistcoat is still among the CHIEF
features of the tailor-made costume,
made with true 'London effect" A
score of exceedingly natty costumes
sent from an English house are, without
exception, formed with a waistcoat &C.
