is good, though out by simp Q
means. Cashmere will enter argelY into
all new costumes for this season.
Satin revers and vests are seen on
many woollen gowns.
Velvet sleeves and yokes are very styl-
ish.
Buttons, which always are u handsome
finish to a >treeJ or tailor made gown are
! growing more popular and onn elegant
specimens ARE now shown for more dressy
gowns. Mother-of-pearl bone. steel, jet and
smoked ivory ale promised Il conspicuous
place among the autumn novelties. and
buttons of twisted cellulUid are lined in
every color of the rainbow, so thai gowns
may he matched with little difficulty.
Perhaps the most original buttons are in
leather, designed 10 go along with the
leather trimmings which are quite stylish.
Quaint little Kate Greenaway house robes
are to be fastened at the back with tiny
buttons, showing the tinted miniature of
some French beauty. The edges of these
exquisite fancies are set with jewels.
Although the blouses will still be worn
at home, the more stylish bodices, tight
fitting, are s~upplantIDg them for dressy
wear.
Go h crowns and large quares of cloth

this fall and winter. Those who favor
pads, however,, should see that they are
very carefully cut and W together. l
myself am not in favor of them, except,
perhaps, for children. | much prefer an
unbroken effect il a gown and hate TO see
such as appear on striped peppermint and
lemon slicks.
A new design for a corset cover has
stripes of insertion set in horizontally
round the waist, curving up and down III
| front to simulate Il pointed belt. Vertical
stripes of insertion extend from the belt
TO the neck.
A favorite border for heavy fabrics is
a three-inch ruche of the material, lined
with colored silk and boX-plaited through
the middle. There are also the woven
fringe ruches made to match the gown,
and a silk gown was bordered with five
rows OF one-incn fringe set one above the
other.
Marquise rings with rows of colored
pearls set In diamonds are %strikingly
pretty.
In the trousseau lingeri of the fashion
able bride is now included a set of bed
linen, six eXquisiEely fine linen sheets
aud the same number of pillow slips, each
embroidered with the tnterlaced initials
Of the brides maiden name. Sometimes
this is q gift from a set Of girl friends,
each contributing a pair of the cases or a
pair of sheets. which permits a variety of
embroidery designs.
Coffee colored lace trims evening gowns
of silk.
An attractive gown seems recently was
made in fiue black cloth. The bodice re-
Sembled in shape a mess jacket. and was
edged with a tiny ball fringe. aud just
from the bust to the waist 1t opened to
give a peep at a scarlet silk vest and broad
Dand. Another costume, also with a sug-
| gestion of the military III its details, was
made of an indescribablY patterned brown
and tan tweed irregularly hecked with
black. The bodice of this had a broad
plastron of tan colored cloth, and was
braided across hussar fashion in black
braid. The hem OF the skirt was trimmed
with Il band of the tan cloth, striped with
lines of the black braid; the sleeves had
cuffs appropriately braided to match the
front, and around the waist, buckling in
the front, was a belt OF tan leather. A
black hat, trimmed with the feathers
from a pn~eaSant's breast, finished this
costume.
All short-waisted effects. especially TO
evening gowns, promise to be popular,
but for the street the waist line will be
the regulation mark. 1t is the reign of
the round waist-no basq Ues are visible
and what they lack In length they
make up In the amount OF decoration
used upon them and the novel effects in
the sleeves.
For stout women is the new seven
gored French skirt; for slender ones. the
latest seamless skirt, which is made OF
goods wide enough to place the sewage
edges at the waist Il hem. Oae or
these seamless models shows a corneC
back, with the opening from the left hip
down, narrow flaps or b~uttonholes hold
ing a row of handsome buttons all The
way down. Another has the seam di
rectly ia front, and on some of the
French gowns the seam-very basis
dow the immediate back, but covered
entirely by heavy silk-lined folds of the
skirt which are parposely turned to-
wards the back to hide thiss seam.
Among the fashionable tones cherry is
an evidence. With black aud gray it
may be charmingly combined. and it
lends particularly Frenchy air to a toilet
having blu as a groundwork.
THU, slim. oval, double sleeve buttons
are very pretty aud very refined. Those
in white enamel with bars and a small
heraldic device in gold, or in gilded dots
on white surrounded with twisted rims
of gold, are new and pretty.
The most artistic assweli as the most
refine style that mas appeared in silver
is seen this fall in the plain surfaces and
broken raised edges. The contrast of
surfaces and the small proportion or orna-
nent thrown into such fine relief by the
plain lustrous ground is attracting ad-
miration on every side.
Capes of all sizes aud shapes are still
very fa~shionably worn; the most popular
of these reach considerably below the
hips, and are made OF velvet and cloth.
These are sometimes made with three
capes in cloth, others have Two, the upper
one only a few inches shorter than the
one beneath. Still others have merely a
single cape cut on the cross, plain on the
shoulders, and falling in natural folds.
There are many women who do not fancy
these capes. They really give very little
warmth; with the obnoxious demi-train
of the street dress to be picked up with
one hand, the folds of the cape gathered
in front with the other, one becomes.
quite helpless. especially when the dis
comfiture is increased by the buffetings
of a rough nor'wester.
