FANCIES FOR AUTUMN FINERY.


be the tavorite colors for the more
elaborate outer garments.
VERDIGRIs is new shade of greenish
gray which is ugly in itself but combines
we'll with bright colors.
IEaE China Grape cOllarette, which is
OF all colOrs, sometimes matches the
gown, but more often is in contrast, is
always stiff1y fluted, and sometimes
edged with a buttonhole scallop in silk
floss.
GREEN is not child s, color, but fash
ion dictates that it must be worn by
children since it is worn by their
elders. Models for girls of all ages are
moss, in sage, and other popular shades
trimmed with white or black.
FANCY has run riot in the cut of some
of the notable jackets and wraps. Any
thing but regularity will pass as stylish
-one lapel, diagonal fastening will
do; in fact the more outre the model
the more it is fancled.
THE new big-hooded capes made in
satin-faced cloth, in all shades of gray,
tan and drab, the hoods lined with
some softly contrasting color, promise
to be much worn this winter for walk
ing as we'll as for riding and driving.
For cycling special gown is pre-
pared of light warm wool, reaching the
instep and moderately flowing. Under
1t come loose trousers of channels COW
cred with the gown stuff and not TO be
distinguished from it once the wearer is
well mounted.
A BEAUTIFUL new fabric for the use of
art needleworkers is corded stuff of
ivory effect, which is substantial enough
for pOrtieres and curtains, and forms
an artistic background for colored floss
es or for the heavy linen embroidery
threads
Both velvet and plush are combined
with wool in the new imported gowns,
and the mixture is specially harmoni-
GUS when the wool has the soft, rough,
long-haired, almost blankety surface
seen in many of the new chuddas and
cancels hair.
PARIS now sends out stockings of
tinted lace in duchesse or chantilly pat
terms, to be worn over spun-silk hose Of
warm flesh color and to accompany Ro-
man sandals of bronze with a narrow
strap held over the instep by a golden
or jeweled clasp.
GLOVES do not share in the rage for
embroidery and the simplest hand COW
ering is the most stylish. Suede gloves
mode, yellow in pale shades and gray
being the elegant fashion for street wear
and nceremOnious occasions.
THE o'clock table has stimulated
an inventor to get up kettle that is
pretty in it's sheen of copper and beauty
of curves, and that has the further at
traction of whistle that sends out
clear note the minute the water boils
and SO summons the tie maker to place.
CURLs are said by fashionable hair
dresser, of Paris, to be again the means
of making pretty heads more coquettish,
not alone the front "Recamier" but lit
tie cascades of back curls. These need
not of necessity grow on the heads of
wearers of course, but should be adjust
ed with skill.
VERY young women may wear with
light gowns for informal gatherings big
null muslin fchus deliberately frilled
and crossed upon the breast, above
which ribbon Of the gowns tint ties
about the neck, its long ends falling
down over the cluster of real roses
that must nestle at the fchu's upper
edge.
BoNNETs of scarlet cloth or of quiet
er hue, combined with black velvet,
will serve for wear with street gowns of
any color, while for dress occasions
there are toques of velvet in long fold
up and down the crown, and stand
ing higher in front that are further en-
circled with row of velvet roses, with
out foliage and in strong contrast.
DA1NTINEss characterizes all the mod
els for street wear in the Partisan cos
tunes, be they of silk or wool and none
of the so-called tailor-made garments
suggest rough wear in vigorous eli
mate. For this reason for out-of-door
purpose London models are more use
full. Some exquisite models are shown
which combine grace and utility in the
new garments for winter wear.
One of the characteristics of the latest
models in art needle work is the dura
bility of the materials. Linen fosses
are taking the place of crewels which
must shrink, and the coarse, heavy
linen stuffs are both more durable and
appropriate as a background for large
pieces than plush, velvet or other easily
perishable stuffs. All.over effects are
much liked for portieres, curtains and
bedspreads.
