rows of buttons in velvet
and silk, from each of which hangs a
small silk tassel, is placed down either
side of the skirt. A dinner dress was
also included. This had the train in al
ternate stripes of very pale pink faille
and of satin in vivid shade of light
green. The skirt front, in pale pink
faille, was yelled in draperies of silk
gauZe of the same hue. 1t is evident
that 5rOcades of satin ground figured
in faille, with designs of field flowers or
feathery grasses, all in solid black, will
be much worn next winter; also
armureS, peau-de-SOie and very novel
fabric with a crape-like surface called
swan's-skin. Velvet will be eXten
sively used for promenade and recep-
ton costumes. The various shades of
brown, the new dark red, myrtle-green
and very dark gray will be the fashion
able colors.
TRAVELLING COSTUMES
are occupying every ones attention Just
now, and | noted one which well merits
description. The gown is arranged with
a loOSe-fitting jacket of striped surah, in
harmonizng shades of navy blue and
pale pink, with triple cape of darker
rose color, and revers and cuffs to cor
respond. The gown itself is of navy
blue wool batiste, the bodice being
fastened at the waist with leather belt.
and trimmed at the throat with JabOt
of cream lace. With this pretty trav
cling cap is worn, made in the same
material as the jacket, and cut with two
flaps. which can cover the ears of the
wearer when travelling, or can be
tied OH the top of the head, accord
ing to circumstances. Travelling cos
tunes of more serious description
abound in all the chief dressmakers'
ateliers. The reding0te style is i'll
vogue for these, and many of the dresses
have rich passementerie ornaments,
which are durable as well as handsome.
The fancy for chatelaine knicknacks
increases as the year wanes, and | ven
ture to predict that when the present
giving time sets i'll these little odds and
ends will play prominent part among
the novelties temptingly displayed to
the distracted seeker after something
new and pretty. Meanwhile, there
seems to be a decided penchant toward
scent receptacles and vinaigrettes,
which are at all times.
ACCEPTABLE GIFTS TO LADIES,
and are especially so just now that
quaint appendages to the chatelaines
are so much in vogue. Of course,
among the ornaments used for that pur-
pose at the present time, the watch
Scent-bottle has found prominent
place, heavily cut, fiat crystal bottles
having tiny time-piece inserted in one
side. Sometimes the bottles are in en-
bossed silver. but more frequently in
glass, with richly engraved golden tops.
Long before fall dresses are I'M
peratiYe and supplementary wrap is
required for comforts sake ladies like
light draperies which are not only sug-'
gestive of the coming season, but which
vary the toilet, giving it certain air
of completeness for the street. Some
of these, chiefly intended for elabora-
ton, are little manteletteS and pelerines,
and are made of Sicilienne silk velOurs,
beaded grenadine or any material
showing a distinct cord. In most cases
the new fancy wraps for the autumn
have the fronts continued down in two
long panels almost to the bottom of the
dress skirt. Composed of velvet or of
fine wool striped with straight bands of
gimp in silk cord or beading, they are
applicable to the early fall season, and
will look fresh and fashionable still
later on in the year. Some of these
garments form simple cape over the
shoulders, and are finished off at the
throat with a straight military collar,
covered with gimp or by broad direct
DIRE collar of velvet, open in front, and
widening toward the top.
