Old blue is one of the most fashion
able shades. 1t isn't light blue and
it isn't Il robins egg blue. 1t is shade

1t is almost always seen combined with

Skirts arc still worn long, but they
arc made less apt to soil by being sup

For house dresses there is pretty
style of trimming the bodiccs with rib
bon. Let the ribbon be black, because
this is sure to combine prcttily with
whatever colors may be in the skirt
Begin by fastening the ribbon at the
throat with MS pretty pin as you have
in your collection of stick pins. Carry
the ends of the ribbon straight around
the neck and cross them at the back,
where another pin, this time of tho
clasp variety, should catch them to-
gether. Bring down the ends of the
ribbon under the arms and cross them
again at the front of the waist Carry
them back and tic them in Il large bow,
having four loops and ends that will
hang down almost to the bottom of the
skirt. This gives Il sash effect and like
wise makes Il very pretty finish for the
waist, which has then something of the
appearance of n Spanish jacket, the
ribbon giving it that effect. Lace may
be put upon awaist in exactly the same
way. That is, it may be carried around
the neck, crossed at the back and
shirrcd along under the arms to the
front of the basque, so as to give the
same Spanish jacket effect. White lace
is generally preferred for 4 trimming
of this kind, and not infrequently it is
used to accompany the ribbon trim
ming just described. jackets or little
round coats are made to match all these
fall gowns.
The great desidcratum of coat is
that it fits well. Have your coat mado
perfect fit, Wgood color and of style
to suit you. If You are troubled with
cmbonpoint select jacket that brings

The sun god and his brothers the

boisterously the fair checks of the
women who account themselves danes
of fashion.
1t is the style, and the style always all
the time, to wear veil. If you wish to
be in the very height of the fashion get
one that is all dotted with big white
specl1s or is so figured that your coun-
tcnance is hardly disccrnablc beneath it.
Have the veil very large and then tic
1t on so as to make it appear even more
conspicuous than it's size and pattern
would naturally make it. This is the
fashionable veil for calling and driving.
For other expeditions, such as shop
ping, afternoon walks and the like the
veil may be thinner, but it is as large as
the other and is put on in Just such
conspicuous way.
The beautiful Miss Handy, of Balti-
more, appeared ut church in the lovely

pin an autumn suit of lilac silk, with lilac
Howers designed upon it. Around the
foot of the skirt there was very deep

and the skirt of the basque was like
wise trimmed with lace and ribbon.

black straw, trimmed with violets, and
with black strings fastened at the back
and crossed under the chin and carried
up again to the back of the hair, where
they were fastened with pin which had
