Velvet collarettes. separate from the
gowns, are the latest novelty for complet-
ing street costumes.
House dresses are cut with perfectly
fitting backs
Chiidren's dresses are still made with
very plain, full skirts, and slightly
trimmed waists. Good sense governs the
styles in this matter.
A few years ago woman was all pins.
Now there isn't pin in her whole COM
position, and only a few buttons. She is
tailor made, her skirts are caught to-
gether with hooks, and her t'b0dies'
with frogs and tabs.
In point OF materials, figured satin win
undoubtedly capture The lions share of
the patronage, and in jacquard effects of
medium size. There is nothing richer in
appearance or finer in taste than some of
the new figured satins introduced from
abroad
Delicate passementeries are of metallic
wire curled ike q tine spring, mingled
with tinsel cord. Some new black and
gilt points are rounder in effect. with the
tinsel merely outlining or veining t.

has had her day, and that plump figures
are to be preferred by Dame Fashion In

Quent demand Tor Queeniy forms and
majestic carriages TO set off the Powered
brccatelles, the heavy embroideries and
dull colors, and to wear with becoming
grace the huge collarette of old guipure

cebwebby Wilderness. This prediction, of
course, has reference to the coming
winter, and meantime the lath-like
figures may continue to revel in the soft
and clinging stuffs of which they have SO
loug had the monopoly, and which, too,
it must be confessed. they have worn with
exquisite grace.
squirrels tails are used in felt hats,
and vultures' feathers on muffs and
toques.
Beits1n many pretty designs are shown
An especially pretty one Is the Sarah belt,
made of velvet and generally worn with
house gowns. 1t begins at the side seams
and meets in front about two inches be-
low the waist line. It is joined by a
buckle and Is square i'll front, the points
meeting only at the top
Plaid costumes on the bias are more
seen in the street than any other. SheD-

jet again asserts itself, and among the
novel examples are enormous butterflies
! of cut and rivited jet. their wings studded
with turquoise stones set in g1ittering

crown, and bandeaus OF the same style

narrow velvet strings is necessary TO COM
/ plete this insect bonnet.
| A new couture is the double coli of hair
/ at the back-an unusually large coil low
on the nape of the neck, and i smaller
one cunningly set high on the crown of
/ the head. This second coil, through
which an ornamental pin Is generally

\ it relieves the long plain line made by
| drawing the hair back from the forehead
| to the low coil, now in.vogue.
| In selecting plain materials for persons
