A tailor made gown OF an early autumn
model has the basque slashed. The material
is woolen and the skirt is plain, with length
enough behind TO drag-more's the pity The
trailing of our dresses isn't bad indoors or on
the lawns and verandas at the summer re-
sorts, but for sidewalks it is deplorable. So
skirts are bound to be refashioned soon.
For later autumn wear than the fall dresses
thus far described is the tweed gown shown
in the last illustration. 1t is of light brown
with gold gallon front and military cape
tossed back from the shoulder and tied with
beaver colored ribbons. The stripes Of vel

skirt are of beaver colored velvet also. The
hat Is trimmed with ostrich feath ers
very pretty and stylish way OF making
light tan cloth costume is with bodice held
by straps over the shoulder. The straps and
flaps are lined with colored silk and the skirt
is made perfectly plain. A tie of the colored
silk is worn with pink or blue shirt, and
there is jacket belonging to the suit which
may be worn or not as desired. tan -colored
parasol lined with pink silk and brown hat
trimmed with tan ribbons and gauZe and

Here is an idea for those who are artistic
and original. 1t is something new and very
pretty and consists Of providing your own
designs for embroidery, taking them directly
from nature. This is how you can do it.
Flowers are preserved by dipping them in
paraffine. BY moistening white paper with
benzine 1t becomes translucent, then you can
easily sketch impressions of the flowers.
When the paper dries it again is Opaque and
the impression sketched remains.
The last midsummer wedding of the season
has taken place. These are tho gowns worn
by the immediate bridal party: The bridal
dress was of lvory-corded silk, trimmed with
old Honiton lace and orange blossoms. Her
ornaments were diamonds and pearls and she
carried a bouquet of white flowers. She was
attended by four bridesmaids in dresses of
pale coral and Cambridge blue voile de laine
trimmed with Valenciennes lace; hats to
match, trimmed with wreaths of rose petals.
They carried baskets of eXotlcs, and wore
also coral and pearl brooches.
A decidedly pretty dress seen at Saratoga
one day last week was combination of pink
and silver. The dress was Of pink cashmere,
made with Greek draperies. These fell in
graceful folds about the slender figure of the
fair girl Around the lower edge of the skirt
was broad band of silver. The bodice was
cut V-shaped, both back aud front, and out
lined with silver. There were elbow sleeves
finished with fold of soft lace. Silver gray
suede shoes were worn with this toilet. AS
the classic maiden glded through the rooms,
or posed in Delsarte attitude, she was a per-
feet symphony in pink and silver
clearly cut, regular features. She must
have full, clear eyes, She must have a skin
that is above repr6ach, untouched by rouge
or powder. She must have glossy hair that
has never known the touch of bleach or dye.
She must have a good figure, plump enough,
though never suggestive of an angle. She
must have a white, expressive hand, prefer
ably small one, but not of a necessity, If 1t
is we'll kept and white. She must have small
ears and a throatthat Is like marble column
for her head. She emust know how TO put on
her clothes, or shslloses half her beauty. She
must fully understand what best suits her in
the way OF hair dressing, and cling closely to
that. GE
