another gold band held In place The
shadowy mass Of her dusky hair.
Most of the girls, SO they told me-
wore their hair quite low, looped %
knotted in the nape OF the neck or rests
ing on the shoulders. Some wore
modified Greek knots and still othesQ
had arranged elaborate Empire and
Directoire coifiures on the very top OF
the head with jeweled aigrettes rising
from the soft puffs straight in air.
AS the season advances Broadway boz
comes radiant. Blue carriages with
bright red or yellow wheels, OF the
overwhelming degree OF gorgeousness
which this season appeals to our fancys
are drawn by big sleek horses in clankA
ing and glittering harness. Wooden
coachmen sit on the boxes stclid and
solemn. On the cushions recline women
in thick-piled velvets and a smother Of
furs, creatures OF long, slow curves, Of
dropping lids, half lost in dangerous
Indian summer dreams On the side
walks swarm tortuous crowds of hand
somely dressed women, exhibiting in
all It's glories the cold weather gown.
A certain handsomely apparelled
Queen from district of country called
Sheba has enjoyed for lengthy period
a considerable reputation for gorgeous
ness in gowns, but few people would
have turned their heads to look at her
had she CHANGED to cross Madison
yesterday the wake OF girl in
a eiffel red Carmelite gown. she
was one of the know-it all variety, and
In spite of her pinky white skin, her
eyes as dark and soft as pansies and
her fluffy brown hair, in spite of her
youthful and exquisite daintiness in
feature and coloring the shyness of the
doubter was not in her, but you knew
she could talk slang and bounce like
the very embodiment of the wild, sweet
and piquant American girl just through
with an interview with her dressmaker
and with vine embroidery in gold and
black above the hem of her rndergown.
The Russian redingote was in q brown
ism red velvet, slightly cut away in
front and leaving the handsome skirt
exposed. There was a narrow vest on
the redingote OF gold armure. half hid
den by the embroidery and revers and
collar of handsome sable. The hat was
q boat-shaped affair OF black velvet,
with no apparent brim at the back, but
turned up on each side and not at all in
front, with bow Of eifiel red ribbon
and two or three heavy black ostrich
.plumes dropping from the low crown to
touch the left ear. The face beneath
sparkled with vivacity and the full red
lips parted as she hurried to catch q
girl who matched her dog most excel
lently as all Of us who own dogs do or
ought to do this autumn.
It's becoming quite science this Of
adjusting ones attire to harmonic
properly with ones canine friends.
Black camels' hair with cape, muff and
and broad band OF astrakhan is con-
sidered quite the proper costume to
wear with a huge black Newfoundland.
II on the other hand one goes walking
with a silky black spaniel one should
be gowned in smooth black faced cloth
or cashmere with lynx furs. The st.
Bernard really calls for long golden
tan or redish brown redingote with
high shouldered sable coat and low
crowned, broad hat circled about with
ostrich feathers. Pugs are not now
much in fashion but one wears an Eng
lish tailor made costume with one Of
them and with terrier something in Q
soft gray.
