Let the nice, sweet, sensible and stylish
Girls who are obliged. withal. to spend .
part of their precious daylight momcnts,
and some Of their midnight ones, too. for
that matter, in reckoning expenditures.
read the following and take heart of grace.
II is not necessary to have many dresses
this glorious fail season of ninety. even
though you may wish to dress very well
indeed.
Mrs. Grundy and Dame Fashion and Ill
the rest Of the girls got together very early
in the season and decided that it was much
moro English and elegant to dress quietly
and uniformly In the street. By uniformly
mean exactly what ! say-iiterally in
uniform In London NJ this season of the
year one sees all the women dressed in
tweed for street wear. Tweed here,
tweed there. tweed everywhere. In New
York al the women are wearing STUFF
goods-cioth. brigantine or Highland plaid
made exactly alike and trimmed with no
trimming at all Thus. with one snug.
taiior-made dress. q girl is more truly fash
ionable than IL she permitted herself TO al
ternate with . dozen street frocks.
When the soft, warm breezes blow and
autumn forgets for day that it should be
doing chilly duty, then out comes the
cloth vest from the depths of the front of
the taiior-made jacket and in its place is
put sllken &kirt front, not white now. but
some color that harmonizes nicely with the
dress shade.
Embroidered, or painted. or embossed
leather jackets are worn with all kinds of
dresses. These leather roundabouts are
open IN front and extend down the back
only just below the shoulder blades, The
edges OF the imported ones have delicate
tracing OF golden leaves around the entire
edge.
Have you bought q fur cape YETI If ycu
haven't you must get one right away. for
capes are fashionable now, and soon the
naughty winds will blow and bring with
them. perhaps. a new style that will make
the handy little cape sink into insignifi-
canoe.
Of course you viii get an Astrachan. un-
less you get sealskin or Persian lamb. III
you do get sealskin, be sure to have q Per
sian lamb collar. Maybe YOU prefe. n
velvet cape with an Astrachan woke. What
ever you get, be sure to have q cane of
some sort.
The misty. mostly weather has made
woman's necessity the mother of her IN
vention. To keep her precious ankles dry
and her divided skirts unsullied. she has
invented new facing for her dress. 1t is
made oil oil cloth or mackintosh cloth. and
II Is SO smooth and glossy that it can be
put outside the skirt as we'll as inside. A
broad band OF il is stitched around the
bottom OF the skirt, which is of walking
length TO show the ankles. This can. of
course, be worn through mud and mire
and yet be Just as good as new after il has
been sponsed of. With such a skirt the
pethcoat can be worn very short, as the
oilcioth prevents disagreeahle ciinriug.
The pointed bang, ike the traditional
dog, has had its day. The fashionable girl
parts her hair IN the middle over her
"hrow's divine expanse." and combs il
down on each side of her forehead in a
big swooping curve that makes her face n
lovely oval. III her face is very broad she
draws down another curving fold OF hair
and crags 1t back TO be fastened lust be-
hind the ears with q jeweled hairpin
There Is none OF the mathematical nre-
clslon OF the water-wave about this sfyle
OF hair dressing, nor is il left loose and
fuzzy as when curly. The back hair Ia
"done up" IN loose knot. from which the
ringiets fail "low adown, low adoyn-n
Men. that Is. men who would be adorned
OF the FAIR sex. must not wear black siIk
underwear. The girls say that black silk
shirts look dirty. even if they are not and
that the boys must patronize white boiled
shirts and yellow pig-tailed Cinnamon if
they want 10 stand well in the affections of
tie fair maids of Perth and other cities.
Ii isn't wrong, and ii isn't cheeky to con.
fscate scarf pins. Every one does i; nova
days, and the girl who doesn't take possess
sion of at least one jewelied stick pin
week is dreadfully lacking in the qualities
that make ginger"
