yolcan red. q tint so brilliant Is to be
binding, and coleus, the complimentary Of
cadet blue. will be long favorities for winter
ribbons
Open work embroidery, the designs out
lined with cord, is the fancy OF one noted
Partisan milliner, ard by him set into. not
on, the brim Of directoire hats
Ribbons Of cashmere damassee inwoven
with threads of gold and silver are the
highest high novelty, but not SO much chosen
as plain armure and peau de sole textures
woven in several stripes Of color.
The stamped open work to which pinking
has grown is no end stylish and sinfully ugly.
1t comes in bands to be applied to the edges
of draperies and "sich," and Is fastened on
with the cat stitch Of our grandmothers
The last sweet thing in jackets is the Nea-
politan, Of scarlet cloth, close fitted at back
and with fronts sloped sharply from the
throat, clasp to display a shirt Of scarlet SILK
in crossed folds that simulate kerchief.
The rurnor Of longer walking skirts is hap
PLY unfounded, as new Paris gowns, all OF
them, clear the ground all around, and some

white neck alternate strands Of pearl and
coral beads, while she who begins to show

Powered gowns with them Autumn stuffs
arc plain, or at most show stripes and checks,
and are made up in straightly severe fashion
in strong contrast to the riotous draperies OF
the season just passed
Here is the list of new colors for day
gowns, and some of them would make the
Venus de Medici heartbreakingly hideous:
Wistaria purple, punch fame, peony, deer
skin, Cordova leather, clover blossom and
Mephisto red, and in grays, powder, thunder
cloud, sea gull, dove, doves breast, mouse
and pearl
Rich, heavy stuffs, as plush, velvet and big
Powered brocades, will be largely combined
with light ones, as Grape lisse, silk null,
China Grape, in the evening gowns Of this
winter. which will be very often in princess
shape, with fronts Of the heavy stuff meeting
only at the waist over tablier and guimpe of
the Light one.
Scotch plaids in all the leading tartans are
chosen for some early autumn gowns, and
are made into long sweeping draperies over
silk skirts Of their dominant hue. Three
pinked ruffles three inches wide and set over
each other-not ono above the other-fnish
tho skirts at the bottom, but are only seen in
event of the drapery's dis lacement.-New
