The lightweight woods are the very
best textiles to select for useful gowns
for wear during the entire autumn. The
grays and browns present a wide range
of shades this season. The lightest and
deepest tones, with intermediate shades,
are alike popular, but the blues for
autumn are oil of deepest dye--some with
a touch of purple. others leaning towards
indigo, and again there is the pure ma
rine dye, which is of all blues the most
enduring. Some of the blue costumes
for very young girls are MADE up in
Russian style and trimmed with bands
