More Styles That Will Be Worn During
the Autumn Months and Early Winter.
NEVER WEAR the waist Of a good dress with
cloak, which rubs and defaces the bodice,
but keep a PLAIN wool jersey to wear under
wraps
THE CoAr-sHApED PoLoSA1sE in velvet or
matelassee over a skirt of soft wool is the
stylish street dress for autumn, varied by the
mueh-braldeG jacket for shopping or running
ABOUT ana the Cossack capes or coachmen 8
capes in three to five overlapping folds for
those who can wear them.
The NEW SHADES AND TINTs OF Co1oRISa
are modification of those so popular during
the summer. First in favor are the green's
varying from the Nile to the deep Rembrandt
shades.
LARGE DRAGON FLIES. intended for the Golf
fure, have each four diamond wings and long
body. with rubes or sapphires mixed with dia-
monds
IHEFRENcH QUADRILLE PLAIDs are very beau
tlful and softer in tone than the Scotch, which,
though they do not all follow the clan colors,
SUI show certain crudity of colorings that is
not SO pleasant to the eye.
NEw LIGHT SHADE OF MAHOGANY Brown is
known as Elfful and will take the place of its
darker sister shade in combinations with green
this fall Then follow anemone. Java, cuivre
"copper" and condor, these lighter tnts melt
ing gradually into ecru.
PLUSH AND VELVET will enter largely into
combinations both for street and evening wear
Rich brocade in unique patterns and exquisite
coloring. Siciiiennes and heavy silks such as are
reputed to stand alone" are among the
choicest goods displayed.
New FEATURE is the kid crown which
adorns some Of the most elegant hats and bon.
nets. One little turban has a crown of white
kid and brim composed of tiny black wings.
Kid OF different shades is employed. The
effect Is delicate and unique.
HATS AND BoNNETs are decidedly low in the
crown, and in the smaller ones there is a
marked tendency toward simplicity. Broad
brlmmed hats, however, display elaborate gar
niture of feathers and ribbon. The little
toque Is, II possible, more popular than ever
while the capote still holds its place among
bonnets. The general tendency is toward small
hats. Feathers, ribbons and narrow yelyets
are variously arranged to produce pompon
effects.
CHARMING LITTLE TooUE Of brown velvet
has black-plumaged bird on either side, and
on a little velvet muff to be borne with it there
is similar bird poised on the outer side, gaz-
ing appealingy up at the wearer.
A Rich DINNER DRESS Is OF MORE Of the
shade known as tisane. The vest ia of white
crepe de chine, its fullness disposed with
studied carelessness. Bands of trimming in
imitation Of tapestry, Of a darker red mingled
with pale gold, form the pointed girdle in
front and the garniture on the skirt The lat
ter has straight folds at the back, surmounted
by the short position of the basque.
VESTS IN SOME FORM OR OTHER are the law.
Plain waists are absolutely boycotted. The
round belt or sash which has been so much in
vogue is yielding to the pointed girdle, either
fastened at the side or laced in front.
A STYLISH NOVELTY IN FURs is composed of a
jacket of Persian lamb, with a collar that could
be worn up la Medicis or rolled over like AN
ordinary coat collar. The vest il of rich dark
sealskin and the sleeves full and high on the
shoulders.
VERY PRETTY LAMP SHADES are made Of thin
tissue paper cut and curled to resemble flower
petals; others are Of plain paper, with q
crnkled appearance caused by folding and
others take the form Of birds. and
are meant to shade one side only Of the candle.
A NEW TONE IN RED Is TIsANE Cherb tea
sybarite and boreal are also added to
the autumn list of bright colors. In the tints
we find pale rose, aZalea and an exquisite deli
cate variation known as coral. Nor must the
puppies be forgotten. 1t is prophesied that the
eveqne, a sort Of deep morning-glory shade,
will be q decided success.
YELLOW REMAINS THE FAvoRIrR Colon for
dinner table decorations, as well it may, yellow
flowers, chrysanthemums and dahlias being
easily procurable at this season. Pougee silk
puckered round center lamp, with bowls Of
Oh 1al yfb oil
duce an excellent effect.
The FAvoRIrE FuRs for the coming season
will be the Russian sable, which, by reason Of
Hudson Bay sable the ever-popular sealskiu,
astrackan. black Persian lamb, Russian lamb
and gray Krimmer.
WITH THE COMING OF AUTUMN the high collar
seems to have largely superseded the round
neck in bodices. But the latter, with its deep
overturning frill, is picturesque, becoming and
most comfortable, and will probably be worn in
house dresses during the winter.
MuFFs ARE MADE FOB THE most part in the
usual round style, but fancy shapes are used in
a variety Of forms by those especially desiring
a novel or uncommon shape.
Tue LATEST FAD Of the New York belle is to
have a belt of Bulgarian silver, made to encir-
Gle her slender waist In lieu of the usual
Greek medallion, she asks each Of her admirers
to furnish his portrait engraved or cut in bas
relief on one Of the links.
The FANCY FOB SKIBTs without plestings or
rufaes of any kind has given rise to trimmings
applied as bands Designs several inches in
depth, defined in soutache braid, have the
same effect, and some of the imported suits
furnish instances Of the happy result Of such
application.
vuLrURE is 1.-THE" new color par excellence,
and will undoubtedly "go" we'll 1t 10 exactly
the shade Of a vulture's back, with sort Of
a dusty bloom all over the sur sc, whether it
is opera cloth, cashmere, camels hair or twill
1t is very cunningly woven.
The INVERNESS PLAIDs are more than usually
fine and soft this season, and in clan colors a.
we'll as in new devices in such patterns, but all
very large figured.
