and Millinery.
All sorts of garlands OF gay flowers
will be used on the autumn hats, which
will be OF large size and suitable TO
this mode.
Handkerchiefs Of silk have wide
lowered border which is very pretty
and gay. Whole foulard handker-
chiefs are also la mode.
The neckties worn by ladies with
their shirt waists have been identical
with those worn by men, and now that
the silk waists have returned with
cooler weather the tie TO match ac-
companies it.
Patent leather continues TO adOrn all
sorts and conditions of shoes for fall
wear. although at one time it promised
to disappear completely from view.
The colored leather has gone for the
season.
Light cloth jackets for fall wear are
still made by fashionable English tail
ors. They are double breasted and
have huge pearl buttons as a fasten-
ing. These should not be very snug
In fit to be stylish, as the cloth is too
stin to admit of most exact fit.
Many pretty models in Scotch and
English cheviots are seen which make
most charmingly warm and comforta-
Bile jackets for rough wear. Little off,
Ger caps to match accompany these for
travelling or for bad weather, and for
young girls they are very charming.
Handkerchiefs and small wares are
charming this season. They are gay
and bright with color and are in
charming design. A pretty fancy is
the handkerchief of fine batiste, ON
which are sprinkled roses, yiolets or
fOrget-me- nots. The border is embroid-
cred in the tint of the flowers.
The fall OF lace about the face of some
very pretty fall hats renders them pic
turesque and becoming, and will no
doubt prove popular fashion both for
younger as well as for older ladies.
While it makes young face look
piquant it softens and adds an appr0-
pirate framing to an older person.
The rain cloak for fall wear is no
longer the ulster, but an awkward
model after the Irish peasant cloak
1t is soft. thick wooden cloth OF a rough
quality in mouse color or in tan brown.
This is for children as we'll as for
ladies, and in France, where it has be-
come popular, it is caught into the
back with plaits, making it less awk-
ward and more convenient.
Very pretty and convenient are the
vest fronts OF various tints. which one
finds so prettily made up in the better
shops. Be they OF crepe de Chine or
surah it matters little, for both are
very pretty and soft. They are in Di-
rectoire style and have finely plated
frill down the front with high collar
fastening behind. A double elastic
cord holds the whole in place and it is
easily adjusted.
It 10 sad to chronicle that the feather
era which is now coming in Will bring
with it probably the pitiful spectacle
of stuffed birds as hat decorations.
Already have they appeared in Paris
and London resting in folds of lace
which form ar artificial nest The
good natured and willing ostrich gives
up his natural decoration without a
pang, and as it does not hurt him, even
the Audubon Society could not find
fault. 1t seems as if Dame Fashion
might be contented without asking
greater sacrifices from winged crea-
lures. II every woman would refuse
to wear such decorations the demand
would stop.-N. Y. Mail and Express.
