But people had put on white felt tur-
bans; big ones and soft ones. with long,
straight dents in the crowns. They had
raced them up with black velvet and
trimmed them with long black feathers.
Ihey had put on, too, large
brown felts with rolling brims. and
some of these they had adorned with
wreathS of shaded velvet roses, and on
some they had put vivid orange and
brown naSturtlumS, and others they had
trimmed simply with bows of brown
RIBBONS, shading through pink and
many tones OF green and brown.
Ihey mad brought out their furs also,
and cannot remember that | ever be-
fore saw furs so early in the season.
When the sun beats down at 2 O'Clock
hotter than the sun in July, it seems
itnat furS must be uncomfortable, but
am not sure L have in many years. ex-
perlehce seen one instance in which
comfort was considered with any seri-
BUSINESS by fashion.
Narrow fur borders trim the autumn
street dresses and when the frock is
gray the fur is white and curly, very
probably. Feather trimmings are seen
even oftener and sometimes narrow
ribbon is Topped in short lengths to
make an edge that means to look like
either luz or feathers. but does not sue
ceed well enough to make one at all
certain In which direction its amb-
ton is really pointing. There are little
collarettes of cocks feathers that are
amusing. They have no ends such as
Deiong to boa, but tuck themselves
ABOUT the throat and tickle the ears.
Ihey are not graceful articles of ap-
parel, and they are not pretty, but they
nave been received into favor that is
almost universal.
IL suppose cannot do better than tell
you about some of the autumn openings.
Sone OF the winter models come to the
feet and some only to the knees. A
garment which may be selected for de-
scrlption, because it was bought, if not
by, for Mrs. Ogden Mills, was a cloth
mantle. A tobacco brown, diagonal.
hecked with threads of blush green,
was the material with darker brown
velvet for trimmings and blush green
satin for lining. The collar would
make medici shape if it were turned
up, out the woman who gives heed to
her ways does not now turn up medici
coliaf. SEe lndefatigably turns it
down.
A long cloak, more graceful in cut,
ana also OF more considerable weight to
carry. is pictured alsO.- 1t stood in a lit
tie open space under window, and
ABOUT 1t there was circle of women.
NOW and then one stepped forward to
touch the quicksilver ladies' cloth
which was its fabric,o or to bend over the
scrolls OF silver embroidery. Under the
SPORT, round cape was slightly longer
one of gray velvet, and under this was
long V of gray silk set into the waist
front and edged with velvet like the vel
vet of the sleeves. 1t was a sumptuous
garment, close-fitting like dress, and
she who bought it was one of those
rather plump, we'll set up blondes
whose faces indicate certain satistac-
ton with themselves and with the
world, and TO whom, when they speak,
lslighter women with different lines
about the mouth bend forward deferen-
TALLY as they listen.
"A house dress illustrated fancy as
peculiar as any that has found lodg-
ment in w0men'S tidingS for many
years. The straight skirt sweeping the
floor behind was of soft brown silk,
and the blouse bodice was of pale vel
low; to wear these would be to wear
what many women are putting on, but
to wear the brown silk suspenders that
passed over the shoulders, crossed in
the back, and came down on either side
III IrOnt Spllttlng into two straps to join
the waist belt would require a certain
sort of courage, for though here a wom-
an and there woman taxes to herself
these masculine appendages. yet there
are still many who turn their heads to
look after them with surprise.
Broad, shaded stripes filled the rooms
There was costume in rust brown and
pale green thrown upon cream-colored
background. There was another in
gray, with sheen like the iris hues of a
pigeons back, stripes of metallic blue,
making the color scheme most effective.
Gray camePS hair was banded with rose
pink, copper and beige, red gold and
mellow brown, fruity red shades and
dark oak, and cardinal and ecru were
combined i'll dresses made with severe
simplicity to display the handsome fab
RIGS, the only trimming permitted being
loops and bows of broad ribbon.
