her native state. She viii roam 10 and out
between the dead and dying leaves that rus
tic beneath the trail Of her garments, and
she and the man o. her choice will
together gather branches, bright leaves,
thorny twigs and anything odd or
queer in nature that they discover among
the trees, to adorn the pretty home waiting
for them. And the bride has an eye for
colorings, for soft and artistic effects; every
dress that she has brought with her for
these woods partakes in some way of the
colors that abound there these fall days. A
pretty one is gold brown, light shade Just
the color OF the brown "a leaf turns when t
shades Off from the yellow. The dress has
a few touches Of the yellow to redeem it
from dizziness. Another is q green not very
| bright, dull autumn sort of green, and it
is trimmed with brightest scarlet. Another

shade of the maple after sharp, quick

delicate yellow, all toe one shade, with a

menterie. She will surely look we'll ia these

inch wide ribbon TO match the wider.
| You must get two cOllrs. or else two shades
of one color, for they're not half so
striking in one shade. First make your hat
a todue, or some small shape is tl3 best thing
to get. Cover the shape with fine cloth,
aud then make "A pretty, flat rosette of the
narrow ribbon in both your shades, for the
side Of the tOQue. EuG few folds of the
velvet at the edge, two or three aigrettes
and loops Of ribbon in front aud your hat Is
done. The set ! saw was in dark brown
and rich green, and the effect was very
good. The boa, or cOllarette, was made of
small rufties Of broad, brown velvet, fast
ened on brown satin foundation, and
caught down with twisted folds Of the mar
row green; broad satin ribbons tied it in
front.
The muR was first soft wad covered
with brown satin, over it more gathered
brown ribbons aud through the center a
twist of green. Together, the three looked
very imposing and almost as rich as fur.

Some magnificent toilets are displaying
themselves at the select readings when
society Is at present listening to- One glow
ing picture, the other day, filled box at
the Lyceum in which the reading was
given, and attracted as many eyes as did
the reader, for she wore a black gown OF
heavy, rough rep; the rep ran across, not
down, and still she looked slender enough
A deep rufiie OF some gauzy black material,
accordion plated, half covered the skirt
The bodice was of empire cur,
and had two broad revers that turned
back over the shoulders, TRAINED with mar
row rutaes OF the same accordion plating
Up from the sides came the belt, of deepes5
orange velvet, softly twisted, pointed uu-
ward, fastening in a great knot. The
sleeves were very broad and full, of the
orange also, except for plated gauze cuff.
There was full fold of orange velvet at
her throat, and the black velvet strings of
the hat, fastened above, made the orange
appear still mere flaming.
Another tall woman, verv fair. with hair
so pale that It was little deeper than a cream,
wore magnificent wrap Of pale green
cloth. At its edge was q deep baRd of dark
green plush, cut uD d down. where it

edged with geld. There was also a woke of
the dark green plush, cut III the fantastic
style or the band, and white lambs wool at
the neck. She wore white hat, with
beaver band of pale green. 1t had many
loops Of white ribbon that shaded into green
and many Prince Of Wales tips that shaded
from pale green into a bright one.
Hats with most brilliant effects, that can
still be made most cheaply, are now begin
ming to come forth. The first fall hats vera
awiully stunning, but awfully extravagapt
One needed full purse to ind 20 in one OF
these luxuries. But now that the season is
settling itself, everything is trife more

the prettiest results from felt if little taste
is displayed. The felt is partil ularly pretty

This Is pleasant aud easy work, and the
effect is ever so much better when braided.
One that saw yesterday had quite large
frame with low crown aud broad rim, and
was completely covered with cream W bite
felt, buttonholed in white silk. At the front
OF the hat was an immense bow Of orange
velvet-which color, by the way, promises
to become quite the rage-caught down
with a rhinestone buckle. That and white
velvet strings at the back were all the
trimmings the hat had, and yet it was very
handsome.
Very good hats for ordinary wear are
made by covering a shape with cloth OF til
very best quality, then adding band Of
astrakhan at the edge, and an astrakhan
crown, inserting a few fancy quilts at the
side, and that is all just try it and see
how pretty it will be. Aud what is more.

deal OF lace on it, particularly in the back.
A deep lace rutfle should be there, bertha
at the low cut neck, and from under the
bertha at the back, long draped lines Of
lace falling in graceful folds aud widening
more and more until they touch the lace

Numerous and tiny ruflles on afternoon
gowns are quito the thing in Paris. A
gown from that city has no other trimming
than four rutties on the skirt, four ruffies
