Fashion Notes.
Empire styles of gowns for autumn
wear will be much modified and more
drapery will be worn.
The draped and shirred corsage now in
vogue will continue in favor.
Shirts with starched fronts, collars and
cuffs are sometimes worn with tailor
made suits, but small figured foulard is
preferred
Travelling cloaks of glace silk, or of
light cloths and woollen goods, will be
worn during the autumn.
White cloth jackets, with revers trim
med with silk and braid, will be popular.
Vests worn with long redingotes are
being deliberately embroidered.
Sleeves with only slight fullness on the
shoulders are considered most stylish.
Gray and cream colors will be used to-
gether, and mignonette green and mastic.
Green almond wool is used in combina-
ton with putty-colored silk.
In evening costumes in place of the
sash, u long cordeliere of small flowers
will be worn. A cordeliere similar to that
about the waist will take the place of the
short sleeves, and will be also worn in the
neck of the corsage.
For autumn wear, long cloaks of soft
twilled woods with broche borders will
be worn.
The autumn wraps this season are all in
cape or mantllla shapes.
Poplins are becoming popular, espe-

collar, if preferred, but it is not necessary
to obtain pretty effect.

white percale, braided with white SOU
