FALL AND WINTER STYLES.
A Dainty Empire Costume-ornamentt
for the H~air-Notes.
There is really very little difference
in the style of cloth coats from last
year, although there was plenty OF
room of improvement. Most of the
newly imported ones are of three.
quarter length and have very large
sleeves. Some arc closely fitted and
have Tapped fronts, while many are
fitted in the back only, the front fall
ing straight and opening on a vest.
A new fancy is to use two kinds of fur
on M coat, the revers and collars
being of a fiat fun, to which is added
a narrow, fieecy fur as a border.
A popular combination of colors for
cloth tailor gowns for autumn is made
of chestnut brown with light green.
Accordian pleated skirts are still
liked for afternoon and evening
dresses, but are not favored for street
wear
The graceful effect of draping a
waist from the right sholder to the

duced in many of the fall styles. In
fact most of the designs would set one
puzZling as to how the wearer is to get
in and out of them.
Although the Russian styles have
been tried, and by most sensible wom-
en- have been found wanting, some
designs are still shown for fall and
winter. One has a double bell skirt
with n rut5n xToix11% I1.1o ,~sSL -lszt-
is worn a long jacket, likewise bor-
dered with velvet. Thus an effect is
made as of three ruf1es, which is any
thing but graceful. / would not
recommend it even to an enemy.
Miss Charlotte Behrens, who APP
pears with Robert Mantell in 1.-The
Face in the Moonlight" wears a
dress in the third act which | thought
exceedingly pretty. As the Empire
style is coming in again it may serve
as a model. 1t was made of light blue
silk crepe, with fine stripes about
two inches apart. The yoke was cut
flat, not shirred, and low, pointed. 1t
finished with a very narrow shir-
ring of blue net, and trimmed with
fiat gold and blue braid. To this
simple yoke was suspended the skirt
slightly full on the sides and in front,
and very full in back, with "a short
train. The bottom of the skirt was
was finished with one row of the gold
braid, and a band of it finished the
connection between the skirt and
waist. The sleeves were very dainty,
being of plain blue net and reaching
down to the wrist, where q harrow
shirring finished them. A bag sus-
pended by the gold braid at the left
side gave a c%oquettish finish to a very
becoming and graceful costume.
Bang combs are the latest novelty.
These combs are of tortoise shell and
are carried in gold or silver cases,
upon which the monogram of the
owner is enblazoned.
Yokes of ribbons, in p~arti-colored
stripes, are now worn with black
grenadine dresses. Sleeves are
trimmed with the same, the tout n
semble constituting n novel and bril-
liant effect.
1t is rumored from abroad that very
short skirts will soon take the place of
the long skirts for street veal.
The corselet bodice is the most
popular style of corsage at present,
and new shapes are constantly APP
pearing.
New designs for fall wraps are
called the Brighton, Dieppe, Treport
and Estudianina. The latter is per-
haps the newest, and is quite grace
full. A pretty one is made of gray
cloth, having a cream faille facing
worked with anchors. A gray and
cream silk cord loops the cape placed
over a hook to the shoulders.
Blouses, which have been so much
worn during the summer, will SON
tinue to be much worn for house wear
during the winter.
Feathers will be an important fea-
ture in the line OF millinery this fall.
Fashionable fans are of black gauze
brilliantly spangled with silver or
gold. The light sandal wood fans,
pertaining all the space about the
owner with a fragrance both delight
full and delicate, are mounted with
crepe de chine, MORE OF silk.
Sashes just now are Of two styles,
either very narrow, only a ribbon
folded round the bottom Of the basque
and tied at the back, or of soft silk
folded very widely round the waist
and fastened with ar enormous
rosette at the left side.
The diadem bow OF ribbon is the
popular ornament for the hair. 1t
stands up in three stiff loops directly
back OF the curly bang, and the ends
are carried around the head and con-
cealed beneath the braids or coils at
h back. The color matches the tint
OF the gown when gold or silver ribs

smooth hair twist amber or coral
