looking into eyes that speak rather than
at clothes that lit.
Almost everyone has noticed that as a
| candle burns low the flame, ere il finally
expires, flashes up into an unusual glow
! and then goes out in darkness. Some
what in this manner is the flashing of
fashion. AS the season draws TO q close
toilettes become more splendid and the
devotees of fashion make a convulslve
effort to outshine all previous
efforts Correspondence from foreign
and home watering places say that
spleudor of costume has reached its
height and there can be nothing more
until autumn styles are announced.
Anterior to this bonners continue to
grow diminutive, if such a phrase is
allowed out of Ireland and hats "fiop'
as wildly as ever. The broad brims and
low crowns literally covered with flow
ers, and twisted and bent, raised here
and there as suits the within of the
waarer, in utter disregard of taste or be-
cominzness. Toques are not as
"qsuelched as they look, for while
they are as fat and shapeless as II is
possible to make them, they are
coveted article of head dress. Toques
small and strinGless are made entirely of
soft curled ostrich tins, and are i'm
mensely becoming TO the pretty faces
that effect them.
One cnange observable and will
probably be adopted in the making up
of fall fabrics is the introduction OF
panniers. Gowns are already seen cut
with polonais back and panniers over the
hips. To give pannier effect the
material is laid IN pleats over the hips of
sufficient fullness to droop in folds and
one end is stitched to the back breadth,
being so placed as to be sewed about
foot, the other ends are brought together
into a small space under the points of
the long basque front. Basques and
jackets are to be longer this season. Cut
off bodices are uusighIly when long ones
ars worn and, ali mel dressmakers must
live, hence the changes that fashion de-
crees.
The summer invasion of Greek styles
has exposed many necks that were better

seductive, but where no charms exist 1t

However beautiful a throat may be there
is a want of finish in plain neck that
has no soft fall of lace to intervene be-

supply. The bare seam Is not pretty,
and no decree of fashion can make it SO.
