course of training may not be calculated
to add to the destinations of the Ameri-

The winds of October are not infre-
quently taken into account by girls who
dress themselves adroitly. Two ex-
ampleS were seen on the lawn of their
residence the other day. One had left
her long and uncOmmOnly abundant
hair loose, never dreamiDg-Of course
nOt-that the wind would blow it about,
and practically turn her into a sort of
Circassian beauty for passers-by to adj
mire. Her costume is well worth pict
uTing, because it embodieS ideas that
will drop out frequently in the fashions
of the fall and winter. In this instance
the costume was made of light striped
wooden stuff, trimmed with straps of
tons. The side panels and the
sleeves were of plain material. A
idunty black cap of nealy the
Tam o. Shanter pattern, with
graz stockings and gray gloves, COM
pleted the toilet. Her companion wore
a combination of gray surah, draped
diagOnally, and arranged with white
guipure. The knitted cap was dark
navy blue with white stripes, and her
long silk gloves were very dark blue.
Shoes of other color than black are
properly called i'll from outdoor wear,
but they will be retained in household
use to considerable extent. Soft, I'M

The two toilets Sketched in this para

October: but in their shapes they illus
trate fashions that will prevail for in
door wear. especially as to the devices
OF the bodices and the fronts of the
skirts. To describe them exactly as

fabrics are crossed, as designed. The
very deep ceinture corslet and the
under-gown are in stripped black and
pale gray faille. The pOlichineile hat is
arranged to match, with black strings.

adapt these two gowns to the darker
and heavier fabrics of cold weather, or

Braided gowns appear likely to be
prominent features, but the braiding
will not be OF the ordinary kind to which
we have been accustomed. Embroidery
and everything of this nature shows a
tendency to become more and more
elaborate, and The designs shown in the
stores for the braided gowns are of the
richest character. Most of the leading
trimming manufacturers have already
laid in all extensive stock of ready
made braiding. which includes some of
the most beautiful designs ever seen.
These can be easily put on any gown
which 1t is so required to decorate. The
designs are in many cases in bas-relief.
