There is decided protest against very

quetaire suede gloves of eight button
length with dressY toilettes for making
calls, the theatre, etc.

The calling cards OF a married lady are
the so-called square cards that measure
| "a inches long and "a inches deep. An
unmarried lady,s card - slightly smaller
and OF the same proportions. Mems
casQs remain small and Oblong. The en-
craving Is III plain, clear English script.
Inere IS tendency to return to the joint
card OF husband and wife, for calling as
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, but their seDa
rate cards are still used
tufts are TO be universal, and will soon
become exaggerated and die of their own
| intensity. This is to be regretted, for
/ when taken in moderation the fashion is
pretty and becoming one. 1 have al
ready seen one or two illustrations of
rufus In English fashion journals that are
huge enough 10 make anybody look rid
| iculous. Why on earth can we not enjoy
a happy medium of any mode tor little
while, instead of rushing into the vulgar
| ity of extremes?
/ Shades of leather color are to be very
| fashionable this autumn, more especially
| in the deeper tones. Few tints are more
becoming to the average woman than a
| rich, warm, dark brown. In velveI it is
| lovely. and in woollen fabrics 1t is even
more refined
Any amount Of trouble and expense is
| still lavished on sleeves. 1t looks as il
they will be the feature In dress for some
| time to come.
Gray is to be well worn this winter in
! combination with soft yellow and gold
braid.
