garment that one scarcely knows how to
classify. 1t is called redingote and was
of dull blue cloth with two bias straight
ruffies, If one might so call a fold without
fullnesS These were bordered with astra-
khan, and SO were the folds of the CAPE
The skirt opened in front over white
panel. The sleeves were made of white
cloth, and so were the wide lapels. The V
shaped part was of white cloth. The lapels
were embroidered in Persian colors and
pattern. With this costume goes white
felt bonnet with an enormous scoop-an
old, old style revived
1t is quite the thing for n modiste to fur
nish hat or bonnet to go with each street
costume and n cute little "tea cap" to go
with a home dress.
The other dress is old rose cloth, which
fabric comes this season in all sorts of coll
ors. This is made with u full umbrella
skirt. with three rows of stitching and
rolled band of persian lamb. There is
basque of the same CLOTH made quite full
In the skirt at the back, open over IL weston
of brocade, cream and pink The sleeves
and revers have narrow trimming like that
upon the skirt. Long suede gloves 80 over
the arms. a hat or small bonnet can be
worn with this costume, but the other one
would require large hat, owing TO the
width of the shoulder cape Those two
styles will be leading ones for the fall with
slight variations, as one very pronounced

rich and not SO very costly, and it goes"

two white lace founccs, one at the bot
tom and one near the top. Around the
waist was Il girdle formed of the lace, and
the bottom flared out in little rufIie. The
upper portion of the corsage was of the
satin, and where the lace and satin Joined

to the bottom of the dress. There were 9TH

were pulled, made of lilac satin, headed
with caps OF lace and finished with deep

and lilac and plumes of shaded ostrich
feathers. This is the kind of hat that
strikes terror into the hearts of theatcr

dress was of black and gray striped taffctas,
made with plain skirt opening over rich
maize coored satin panel, which had Il row
