Lady Readers.

Rich lace scarfs and other fancy neck
trimmings are very popularity worn.
Gauntlets are made in every variety of
Snede. in white doeskins. and in equality
known as .Nantuck flesh, which is emil
nently suitable for country wear, and re-
markably cheap.
Grays, instead Of being on the decline,
grow in favor with the advance of the
season. White is also popular
Satin Is now the favofite material for
dinners and receptions. and it is very
beautiful. The best liked colors are old
rose, mastic. beige and gray, also black.
The rich deep Cleopatra colors will be
In marked favor next season, the tawny
golden browns, russets. the chandron or
copper dyes, and the dahlfa and other
flower, fruit and leaf shades; also the SUI
perb dark velvety reds and FELLOWS ef the

AS the season advances, it becomes evil
dent that there must be many styles in
coats introduced which are a compromise
between the extremely long Queen Anne
and Louis Quinze coats and the snort
styles Of last year.
Parisians are wearing plaitings and
colors of the sheerest linen cambric, with
embroidery, drawn work or lace as trim
ming Linen colors, which have been so
with tailor made gowns. The collar is the
English band of linen with points broken
over at the throat, or else a wide coll
lar that flares slightly and Is turned
down narrowly all along the edge. A
chemfsette neatly tucked or In wide box
plat like a shirt front il added to such
collars, and a four-in-hand scarf of fou-
lard or of crepe de chine Is worn. Linen
cuffs are wide and are made to meet and
fasten with linked buttons of gold or
chased silver.
A collar of long stemmed Parma VIC
let's is another novelty for wearing with
afternoon costumes. There Is fret deep
fall of black lace passing around the
neck, and is q jabot Co the waist in front;
the violets are mounted on the lace 10
flare outward about the neck, and are
thickly clustered down the jabet.
Black grenadine gowns rival those or
lece, SO long IA favor.
Among the new goods now arriving for
fall is beautiful white corduroy. II is
really not exactly white. but pearl or
cream, and 1t will be largely used for
Jackets for young women and children,
and will be trimmed with gold braid and
either large pearl buttons or gilt ones, ac-
cording to the requirements.
Wash silks are more popular than ever,
and for fall there is an infinite variety of
new shades, colors and patterns. They
are all striped or checked and in delicate
colors. They wash better than cambria
and look better, and there Is nothing that
feels so nice as silk.
The abnormally high sleeve is passe
and few very new French tailor gown s
show a close coat sleeve lightly trimmed
on the top of the arm, with corre-
spending trimming at the wrists. A puff
is very popularity used around the arm
hole. and this IS always pretty upon
slender women and children, and is like
wise far more becoming to even stout
figures than the distenaed leg-o'-mutton
sleeve. These graduate to a point at
each end of the puff which reaches under
the arms. They cover the seam made by
joining waist and sleeve, and, after being
shirred, they are easily adjusted.
The white serge dresses for mountain
and beach uses are no longer decorated
with metal cord passementeries and orna-
meuts. The most fashionable of these
gowns are trimmed with white silk
basket braids in straight rows or in fancy
points and arabesques.
For fall and winter there will be an un-
usual amount of black goods worn,
trimmed with narrow bias folds of 90 le
contrasting color, but whatever is wcrn
will be very quiet and elegant instead of
brilliant,
Feather boas show no diminution of
usually tickle feminine favor. They are
as much worn as ever, and they are GER
tainly wonderfully becoming adjuncts TO
summer gowns. Feather collars, too, al
