AUTUMN DRESS GOODS.


solid Colors Relieved ny Pretty Trimmines
VIII BE the Proper Thing.
Solid colors prevail. and a special
feature of the season will be the trim
ming accompanying each dress pat
tern of plain wool goods. and woven
especially for it This will be the
rule, instead of the combination of two
materials in one dress These trim
mings consist of a separate and single
echarpe, or scarf. a panel for the front
of the skirt, border on one selvage
or on both. corner pieces that extend
q short distance along the foot OF the
skirt after having reached from the
belt to the foot. and finally the hand
kerchief squares, or stripes surround
ing very large square like border
Tapestry coloring and designs are
woven in the new scarfs that are
placed down the middle of the skirt, a
great lowered breadth being seen
there as if beneath the plain wool
sides that appear to open upon It
Leaves, grasses. fruit. catkins and
conventionalized flowers of large size
are on red or black grounds of some of
these scarfs, while others have dark
blue or grayish green ground; band
of sage green smoothly woven then
surrounds the lowered stripe. and
there are narrow stripes near the
selvage for trimming the bodice and
sleeves Other tapestry designs of
smaller flowers and buds are on repped
silk grounds of the color of the exquis-
itely fine wool they are to decorate.
and some of these have a wide plush
stripe down each side of the lowered
panel.
Still more elegant scarfs have bor-
der of velours, with the design of flow
ers and leaves of black velvet of thick
heavy pile on colored grounds of pam
sy and peach shades, or copper-colOr,
green. reddish brown, very dark blue.
| and the rust-color which is named in
honor of the Eiffel Tower. These
black figured trimmings are very
largely imported, and show clearly,
even ct this early date. that it viii be
safe to employ black trimmings on
colored winter dresses very much in
the way used last year. Both cut and
uncut veivets are seen in these black
designs. one pretty pattern being of
black ostrich feathers on panels of
copper brown. dull green, EiTel rouge.
or of silver gray wool. Mohair is also
| used in a very effective way for black
figures. leaves. pines. points and pyra-
| mids standing upward from the sell
wage, and in Roman vases and Egyptian
hieroglyphics On dull red, green and
rust brown woods. that form excellent
backgrounds for the lustrous black de-
signs. Another way in which black
mohair is used is in woven limitations
of braid. either in straight rows like
wide Hercules braid. or else In intri-
cate designs of narrow lines, like SOU
tache. There are also tabliers or side
panels of branching watered lines. like
ripples, woven in black on grounds to
match the camers hair of the gown.
and small figured piece is added for
the plastron or vest.
A novelty for the coming season is
ladies' cloth (the smoothly woven
faced cloth used by tailors), with
woven borders of stripes along the
selvage, and in these the fancy for
black is also shown, two black stripes
lone four inches broad, the other
only two inches-being a stylish bor-
der for green, blue and rust-colored
cloths.-Harpers Bazaar.
