summer days. but the thoroughly stylish
woman. who knows the possibilities of darts.
cores. bias and bones, welcomes the coming OF
those clear. crisp autumn DAYS. with their crys-
tai atmosphere SO admirably adapted to bring
out in strong relief all the graceful lines of a
perfectly fitting gown. And speaking of prom
enade costumes. il is surprising how few women
succeed in dressing with perfect good taste for
the street They NAV have no difficulty with
their dinner dresses. ball dresses or reception
dresses. but the very moment they step upon
the sidewalk the artistic and educated eye dis
covers that something Is lacking in style or
makeup. that there is manifestly tendency
either to overdress to violate that first canon
OF the true art of personal adornment, to wit.
that that which Is out of style must be out of
place inasmuch az the particular charm OF fash
ion Ia that il Is fashionable. The old adage that
what every one saws must be true eXempiifes
this principle. This NAV be paraphrased as
follows: What every one wears must be the cor
rect thing to wear.
VARIETY IN MATERIAL.
There is a great variety of seasonable ma
terial to choose from: charming woolens in
delicate tone and soft textures plaids beiges,

RIBBON GARSITURE.
Velvet ribbon will continue to be a favorite
garniture for woolens, as it will also for
interior toilets. such as foulards and other
thin silks. In some cases see it used only as
garniture for the cOrsage. outlining the arm
holes and starting from the back and passing
around the figure under the arms and crossing
in 'front.' where il is held in place by an old
silver buckle. Then again il is applied with
lavish hand. producing beautiful effects pro-
vided there be a complete harmony or artistic
Contrast between its color and the material upon
which il is applied.
Another very artistic application of velvet
ribbon as garniture which attracted nv atten-
ton was a half mourning dress for Young
person. a white batiste with black figures
made up with n deep hOunce headed by black
velvet ribbon. which also served trimming
brace style. having bow at the waist and long
ends and a bow on each shoulder. The cuffs
were likewise Of the ribbon and at the elbow
the bounant sleeves had bands Of the velvet
ribbon.
