trimmings for winter cloaks.
Two materials appear in many of
the short coats and other fancy
wraps, and in most of the long man
ties.
Elegant jet bonnets are made in
open trellis designs and rich ara
besque devices laid over foundations
OF white or deep orange velvet.
The one-piece or redingote gown
grows in favor. It is seen at dinners
and receptions, and forms a very
charming tea gown in light brocade.
The variety of elegant outside
wraps displayed this season is mar
velous, for no two models seem alike,
aad the exhibit appears to be an end
less one.
Green, especially in the eray-green
shades like reseda, serge, olive and
the new pale rush-green, is q very
favorite color for visiting gowns of
velvet. silk and fine wooden goods,
both light and heavy. -
Among the natty fashions for styl-
ish young women are charming house
dresses Of India chashmere of various
handsome art shades. These gowns
are made with bodices th; t open over
plated silk shirt-waists, feather
stitched with silk the color of the
cashmere bodice.
Velvet yokes and heavy, deep cloth
plaits are noted on winter long cloaks
and the bodices of new tailor gowns,
Notwithstanding the fact that they
are made Of wool, are very much
trimmed on the fronts. The plated
vest, surplice front, with its lappipgs
folds and gimps, braiding and shir.
ring, are just as fashionable upon
woollen dresses as they were on the
airy toilets Of the summer past.
The wide fat gimps and galloons
which have been so extensively used
remain q favorite garniture for win
ter costumes, and appear in new ele
giant matelasse and broche effects OF
bands both wide and narrow. Many
of the new all-wool suits from Paril
are finished in simple tailor style, bu
with departure in the shape of thes,
rich gimps and passementeries a
decorations for skirt and bodice. Th,
English coats which accompany thes,
dresses are likewise adorned. Their,
is but slight bouffancy to the back
drapery, but the manipulation o
each fold is highly artistic.
| A lovely Directoire gown is of pale
blue matelasse, brocaded with bo
quets of pink and blue flowers sur
rounded by silver leaves. The gowr
flows open from the throat like al
unbuttoned surtout over a shirreG
waist and accordion pleated skirt o
pink surah. There are pale blue velve
reyers on the front of the corsage por
tion the gown. Another Pompadou
brocade of white and gold is made il
like manner, with skirt of white sill
striped with gold. The gown is linet
with pale amber surah and there Is {
bewitching lace waist shirred ant
drawn up above the chest with lila
ribbon. The open sleeves reach tn
elbow, and there are lace ones be
meath, also tied with the narrow rib
bon. These beautiful dresses are tn,
very prettiest creations of the season
They are easy, graceful, picturesqu
and stylish all in one, and they max
plain woman look charming, and
pretty one positively angelic.
Following the caprices in .gowning
golden brown, copper, terra Gotta
orange and green, are combined will
black on stylish headgear. Folds
tufts and aigretts of the color of the
background of the bonnet fabric form
the trimmings. The new toques ar
pretty and very becoming. They ar
long, brimless, oval crowns, smootl
at the back and much trimmed il
front. This shape is cross between
a bonnet and round hat, and is il
high vogue just now as demi-seasoI
model. The halo hat, the "TOsca,
and the Spanish round hats worn las
summer reappear in felt and velvet
Gray, suede, ecru, and gray-blue felt
are shown, with "aureole" brims GOV
cred with ostrich feather bands anC
trimmed with very large ostricl
plumes. Gold and silver stars, gal
looms and pins are handsomely uset
on expensive bonnets and hats
Black ribbons with brilliant cashmer
borders are employed with admirabl,
effect, and pretty little Quaker bon
nets of black or moss-green velve
are displayed in the ample window
of an importer on upper Fifth avenue

wreaths of brilliant autumn foliage
in shaded velyet.-N. Y. Post.
