trimmed with fur. Velvet will also be
used and dark emerald green is the
favorite color. This material requires
passementerie and jet in namentation.

a careful! inspection of styles in the
make of dresses shows thus far little
modification, but 1t is persistently reiter-
ated that the umbrella dress has struck
the limit of tightness, and that women
will emerge from the sheath into full
flower, with an abundance of drapery,
and that PLAIN fabrics viii be supplRnted
by richer stuffs.
A pretty gown for autumn, fore
shadow of the coming change by being
kind of compromise, is of light wool
material. The skirt is arranged in front
with a series of graduated tueks that
run lengthwise, and are Irregularly left
to expand in informal folds. The Carl
baldi bodice has long basques; elbow
sleeves of the material are slightly full
at the shoulder, notched on the forearm,
and the yoke and lower sleeves of
prettily contrasting velvet or brocado.

toning with bullet-pearl buttons.
The fondness for all-wool white fabrics
does not abate, Many of the house
dresses for the winter will be white, and
a touch of astrachan will give to them
warmer effect. White and black, white

tints do not, however, occupy without
contest. Maroon is asking again for
some of the approval once 80 literally
bestowed on it; garnet also and all the
subdued shades of crimson are having
their merits considered. A garnet CASH
mere, with round cape of the same and
black straw sailor with band and fiat
bow of wide black velvet ribbon will
give warmth of tone to the pale, quiet
girl whose refined beauty is more ex-

The front of the skirt is slightly draped,

The skirt is killed, the blouse is of surah,
the collar and cuffs are OF velvet to

the material. Straps of braid and but

durable color. The skirt is bordered |
with wide and narrow white worsted |

In closing by way of a general sum-
mary it may be SAID that the sleeves of
autumn dresses, while still large, are
not exaggerated, that the waist is made
to appear as long as possible and keep
the figure in proportion, and this effect
is now obtained by the cut of the waist
lines. and the slipping down the skirt on

still long in the back. The few dresses
with paners yet made are very pretty,
as they give the effect of long dress
pulled up over loose belt around the
hips, making the puff naturally, which
was probably the original idea of the
panier. 1t is the most absurd style in
the world when exaggerated, but in its
IL is very graceful.
