their male relatives, during September
and October, on their hunting and fish
ing excursions to the mountains and
lakes. Each year there are more and
more of these camping excursions to
the Adirondacks and the Catskills.
The most stylish and at the same time
Seryiceable dress a lady can have for
this kind of life is a corduroy, either
gray, suede or dark blue. 1t should be
made with straight round skirt. either
Killed or plain, reaching to the shoe
tops; a lightweight felt hat to match in
color. good strong shoes and cane UNI
brella complete the outfit.
ISn'tit a novel idea for a bride and
groom To take the maid, valet. cook,
pack of dogs and tents and 90 OF up into
the mountain wildS for their bridal trip?
Yet this is the programme for one happy
couple, and they certainly will have
ample time and opportunity for billing
and cooling, but it is doubtful if they
hunt much or bag anything but tulips.
This happy, blushing bride will wear
a charming mountain costume of dull
blue corduroy, with killed skirt reach
ing a little below the knee, shoes of soft
tan leather, with leggings of the same
reaching above the knee. A white fan
mel shirt waist is belted by broad tan
girdle from which hangs a leather
pouch. Over the flannel waist is worn
a hunting jacket of blue corduroy, with
large side pocket. being held together
by one button at the neck. A white
silk tie is knOtted under the turned
over collar and a white alpine hat with
blue ribbon band, pinned together by a
jeWeled arrow at the left side. Long
tan gauntleJs finish this unique and
fetching" costume.
Ladies' boots are being narrowed
again at the toes, or at least made more
pointed. The heels are a compromise
between the high French and the low,
broad English styles. The white linen
duck shoes with patent leather tips and
trimmings. worn this summer with
light suits at the watering places, were
quite distinguished; however. it is
about time 10 lay them aside, although
the buff and tan cOlOred shoes will be
seen in town during the fall months.
A really correct taste would lay them
all aside until summer at least, for a
light-cOlOred shoe is not only conSpicu-
Gus, but actually makes it look larger
than it really is. No covering seems to
diminish the size of either foot or hand
so much as black, provided it is not a
glossy black.
This recalls a neat apology l heard in
a street car not long since. A tall and
rather awkward gentleman, before
leaving the car, accidently stepped
upon a lady's foot. 1t must have hurt
cruelty. if the cOntOrtiOns of her pretty
face were a correct Indication. But the
gentleman instantly begged her pardon
and eased the pain by saying with per-
feet candOr: "Really, madame, | beg
your pardon; your foot was so small
could not see it!' \ happy smile in
stantly displaced the frown of pain. and
she accepted the apology and the COM
pliment with an amused grace which
was very pleasing.
In looking over the autumn i'm
pOrtatiOns of neckwear for gentlemen it
is found that the designs or figures on
the fabrics and the neck scarfS, them
selves are still increasing in size as well
as in brightness and diversity, and can
be described by the single word sim
mense." The assortment is more
varied and elegant than it has been for
years. The materials used are satin,
English ducapes, French armures,
Italian geaut and matelaSse. and the
quality and finish of these goods SurpaSs
all former productions.
The knot scarf will be the favOrite
style. though the fiat scarf, known as
the Lyndon, made of gros grain silk,
VIII have many admirers. Some of the
leading styles are to be known as the
StanhOpe. Fenwick, KenwOOd, Winona,
Lawton and the Bristol. The figures
are larger than heretofore, and the
shades of red are to be seen again.
Standing collars will hold their prom
inence. and some will have rounded
corners, and a few garrOtes, buttoning
behind, may lie seen.
A student of feminine beauty suggests
that the woman with round face and
low forehead can greatly enhance her
appearance by drawing her hair back
from her face in soft and rather loose
waves. She should not wear much hair,
as she only needs enough to make a
French twist.
The manufacture of fine stationery
for LADIES' use has become a fine art.
Both in color and design the papers now
used are more tasteful and pretty than
ever before. The preference, of course,
is for fine grades of heavy white or
slightly tinted papers. The address of
the writer is frequently printed In blue
OF gilt across the top or near the right
hand upper corner of the sheet. This
is the style used by Mrs. Cleveland in
her correspondence.
