What Women VIII Wear During the
| Autumn Months.
The New FRENCH GRAY is a beautiful silvery
one, with glow of creamy pink in its refec-
| tons.
| EMPIRE STYLES have lost none of their popu-
lailty, and appear prominently among the
| autumn designs.
The ACCORDION SKIRT will appear on many
fall walking dresses, and ACCORDION panels Will
also be frequent 4#
SoME EXQUISITE WooLENs are in the daintiest
flower patterns of buttercups tiny daisies,
grasses and other empire designs
| HE NEW STRAWBERRY, OLD ROSE AND He
| LIoTKoPE shades are delicious in their tintings.
| Green is again conspicuous color.
| ROUND AND BELTED WAISTS remain the favor
in demi-dress. notwithstanding the marked
popularity OF the redingote and poenase.
! EMBROIDERY AND BRAIDING will still be largely
used on stylish autumn gowns, but more in
separate special designs than in continuous
patterns.
WHITE MORE JuPEs will be much worn this
fall for every day, with silver-gray mohair
second jupes and jacket over white MORE vest.
| LII Is very stylish and less fragile than one
would think
| SILK RUCHINds known as chicoree are fire.
! quently sewn the hens of dress skirts and
provide pretty way of combining several dis
| tinct tints or shades.
| HANDSOME NOVELTY is India broche with
chine designs in velvet upon its magnificent
surface, the patterns being borrowed from an
cient oriental tissues.
New AND VERY Rich MATERIAL imported
this autumn is fancy velvet plaided or striped
upon grounds of lustrous and very elegant
| corded silk armure.
| STEELs THERE ARE in the newly imported
dresses from Paris. but their services are only
enlisted to hold the skirts out, and not to per-
| ceptibly change the shape OF the figure.
| ANovEL DRESS CAP has appeared, resembling
in shape the pictures of capes worn by the
Italian peasants. The crown is medium high
and slightly peaked and the brim rather wide.
| ORANGE AND COPPER CoLoRED TRIMMINGS are
in great vogue abroad, and great deal of hand
some ribbon is used in most capricious ways
| The new sash ribbons are delicious works of
| art. =.
| ONE OF THE STRIKING FEATUREs Of the mo-
ment is the almost unmitigated fairness Of the
backs of some Of the elegant imported cos
tunes just received from both London and
| Paris.
| TIE Thick, SHAGGY, HEAVY CAMEL's HAIR SO
popular number of years ago is revived.
These goods are especially liked in russell
| browns and natural grays, though they are
shown in all colors.
FoR THE EARLY AUTUMN the French design
ers have prepared soutachs jackets, 80 called
because the cloth Of which they are made is
nearly concealed by the soutachs braiding
which is done on it in arabesque and palm
patterns.
THERE ARE now in fashion q number Of very
graceful short cspss for driving, late afternoon
fetes and evening concerts. Some OF them are
made of large-meshsf Brussels net silk, en-
broidered to initiate the Garrick capes placed
| one above another.
| LACE INSERTIONS appear e. skirt trimmings
| on some Of the pattern csshmsre dresses, and
heavier stufs will be adorned with openwork
embroideries and cord trimmings, reversing
| the effects of last year, the foundation being
| black and the embroidery in color. .1
| DAINTY AND CHARMING Gowns for house are
imported cashmsres in various bright shades,
wrought in scattered designs with embroidery
In place OF the borders Of embroidery. The
embroidery is often in silk in metallic color, but
very little metallic embroidery is used.
| DREssY Gown has a skirt Of bo.tls-green
velvet, with a large redingote Of beige cloth in
very light shade. This is one mass of
arabesque embroidery in bronze and green
velvet. 1t is all hand work artistic in shading
and design, and almost worthy Of frame and
panel hanging.
SOME OF THE AUTUMN dress skirts are arranged
SO as to give the appearance Of a redingots or
polonaise, though in reality the bodice is sspa-
rate from the basaues, which fall below the
waist, the division being concealed beneath
! some sort of girdle. This style Is much more
easy to make than a fitted coat.
The Mosr STYLISH MOURNING Cows now
seen combine English and Canton crepe some
| times alone and sometimes with Henrietta
cloth, which retains great favor for mourning
| attire. For later mourning or light mourning
| white embroidered crepe appears in the COM
bination, and some OF it is extremely rich and
| beautiful.
FoR COACHING and autumn travelling, long,
| straight directoire redingotes Of silver gray,
golden brown camel's hair, are imported, with
cape and toques TO match. Heavy silk braid
and rich embroideries are appliqued on the
plain panels of some of the gowns, while others
are quite unadorned. with their panels and
hoods lined in dark red or tsrra-cotta silk.
The BLUES OF LAST SEASON, ranging from the
serpentine blue-green up to the grsyish reseda
hues and pretty yellow green's are all shown
again. There are also new shades of blue,
darker than the old-time Mazarino blue, but
| lighter and brighter than navy blue. Rose
| pinks, yellow and cream-white promise to lose
none Of their popularity for evening wear.
CHARMING MORNING Gown is in . creamy
white very light weight wooden material, made
with round yoke and full gathered bodice
effect, the yoke being Of embroidery. The
fulness Of the gown 10 confined at the wrist by
a girdle or belt Of pale blue ribbon and the
skirt is very straight, plated however, at both
sides on the borders Of the two side panels,
reaching from the waist down, Of embroidery.
The PRoPER TRAvELINa DnEss Now, says
Paris fashion writer, il made Of gray wool,
plainly stitched and worn in its coat form over
a suit Of gray coutil or gray chamois leather.
| The gray grenadine veil suits the face ad-
mirably. Patent-leather boots and gray soft
chamois hand bag, with the mountings and
monogram in silver, complete the outfit. Over
all is thrown a pure Scotch tartan mantle,
without sleeves, and only q silver buckle TO
| fasten 1t at the throat
| The Naughty Ants.
Oh, the red-hot naughty ants,
| How they Chamber up your pants
| At the picnic In the cool and shady glen
| How they seem 70 take delight in
