is brocadsd satin lined trausversely with

used for long cloaks that are braided or
trimmed with fur. Velvet will also be
used and dark emerald green is the
favorite color. This material requires
passementerie and jet in ornamentation.

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 will be supplanted
by richer stuffs.

The fondness for all-wool white fabrics
does not abate, Many of the house
dresses for the winter will be white, and
touch of astrachau will give to them
warmer effect. White and black, white
embroidered in flowers of their native
tints do not, however, occupy without a
contest. Maroon is asking again for
some of the approval once SO literally

subdued shades of crimson are having
their merits considered. A garnet cash.

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 |
the hips. And the skirts are observed to |
be still straight or slightly draped, but |
without reeds or steels in the back to |
suggest crinoline are more ample and |
still long in the back. The few dresses
with panisrs 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 |
simplicity il is very graceful.
