There is . new ladicS cleth for WALKING
suits, which is called Amazon cloth, and
this Is being mads up largely for street
costumes for early winter The skirts

There are a number of dresses now

fluffy fringe, which y fregueatly used IN

very soft and pretty. particularly for
evening.
Very few people wear collars Of any
kind now. Narrow loops of ribbon, bias
folds Of sc1fp sewn in, and these feather
fringes, taking their places in day time,
and lace, crepe and surah and ribbon
jabots and ruffs being worn at night.
For afternoon and mornings around
home almost all ladies wear dafnty aprons
almest always of home manufacture.
They are certainly pretty trifes, and give
the dear girls something to dc, which is
well for them, for we all know how "Sa-
tan finds some mischief still for idle hands
to do" heard that often enough in my
young days to know it by heart, and It
was generally told me whenever left of
working on that eternal over hand seam.
The two pretty aprons which l present
to my dear young Lady readers are easily
made and very effective. One is made Of
scrim and is embroidered in Cross stitch
with silk in Oriental colors, which means
red and blue. A fringe is made at the
bottom by ravehng out and knotting the
threads.
The other apron IS made Of ribbon and
is exceedingly tasteful, and can be worn
where the first would not be appropriate

Is so cheap rust now that the cost would
be very littlo. Recently l bought five
yards and half Of three inch black sros
grain ribbon with narrow gold stripe on
each edge for 9J cents. All other rib
bons ere in proportion.
l saw yesterday some new evening
shades in cashmere and nuns yelling for
fall and winter party and dancing dresses
for young ladies. They are exquisite,
and really these materials are more beau
tiful than silk for such purposes. There
is a novelty ia the nuns yelling, and that
is an effect of stars by means of silver
and gold threads IA the weave In even
ing the effect is very rich and yet chaste
and liglE. There are white, pink, blue
and cream silk floss fringes to go with
these materials. and they are wavy and
soft and certainly pretty.
