ComfnR season.
Stuart frills Of costly lace falling over
the corsage are worn on many bodices
slightly open in the neck.
In new autumn gowns there will be
less use made of goods in combination
than of handsome colors richly bordersd.
Some of the finest patterns in furs for
the coming winter are made to fit the
figure even more closely than those of q
year ago. The cum bersome quilted satin
Innings are frequently dispensed with,
and heavy quality of silk is substituted,
with but little wadding beneath it.
The Spanish mantle is worn with
dressy toilets of every description. This
model, which has proved so popular this
season, was originally copied from one
of real Spanish lace, designed for the
slightly pointed shoulder cape, with wide,
black lace collar and very long scarf ends
that crose at the belt and cover the front
Of the dress skirt to the hem.
Very handsome ladies' cloth, with new
and attractive borderings, and soft Eng
lish serges and cleviots are greatly used
in the formation of stylish promenade
and visiting gowns. Many beautiful
dyes have been tadded to the standard
shades, red gold, russell deeply tinged
with orange smaranth, and dahlia reds,
peach color, linden green and oak heart
being among the novel colors in all.wool
fabrics.
A charming dancing toilet for young
girl is made of misty blue gsuze over a
low-necked bodice, and full skirt of pale
blue China silk, the gauze draperies, in
| delicious folds, kept in place by clusters
of creamy marguerites with yellow
hearts. An epaulet of the same flowers
is set on the right shoulder of the bodice,
whose sleeves are cut baby fashion. An
other in similar style is made in pure
white gauze and surah, with milk.white
roses and foliage for garniture.
The greater number of the new bridal
gowns and toilets for bridesmaids are
tailor-made and are extremely elegant.
Embroidery, pearl gimp and rich laces
are used upon these gowns, the arrange
ment being artistic and novel. Skilled
modistes now handle the so-called tailor
gowns of every description with great
dexterity. and cloth is as effectively
manipulated by them as silk or velvet,
and is made up with neat perfection
which it would be difficult for a tailor to
surpass.
Pretty and comparatively inexpensive
tea-jackets are made of crepon or cash
mere, with guipure lace fronts. The
tint q chosen generally run in the pale gray,
beige, biscuit and the light almond tones
for the woollen, the lace being cream.
These jackets are made tight fitting be-
hind, and with full chemisette the lace
fronts-sewn into the shoulder and side
seams-fall over without concealing the
chemisette, which is drawn into the
waist by means Of two cords of ribbon
fastened at the sides and knotted in
front.
Vividness of color, light tints and
striking effects constantly grow in favor.
1t was noted this spring that brighter
colored dresses were worn on the streets
than had been seen there for twenty
years, and the tendency all summer has
been further in the same direction
rather than any relapse into soberel
shades. The same story comes from
Paris, and Americans returning from the
Exposition tell that every where in France
there is perfect riot of color. Pale and
brilliant hues, heaps offlowers, diaphan-
GUS materials aud gold embroideries are
seen everywhere.
Faced cloths for next seasons tailor
gowns will be trimmed with fur bands
