New YORK, October at would GER
tainly seem as il sleeves had reached
their utmost limit, measuring tfty-six
inches In width, where silk, velvet, ciotn
or any substantial material Is employed
for such fabrics, however, as chiffon
or gauze. this size Is simply q begin
ming. Three or four frills falling to
the elbow with a close sleeve below,
huge puts, the 'leg o. mutton" shape,
and one long in vogue, where the tull-
ness falls entirely loose, dropping over
the elbow with deep cuff, are az present
leading STYLES. The revival or over
skirts was by no means unexpected, and
their adoption IS not q necessity, as the
skirts of many new costumes are plain
or very fully trimmed; still Oversklrts
being about an additional variety, some
being draped 10 a point at back and
front. Others have two points at the
back. sloping upward 20 the waist, but
not meeting and cut of square. Az
aDron front Is also In vogue; then
again an overskirt Is but a narrower,
shorter skirt, worn above the other
sham skirts Of silk are the usual foun-
dation, aud a plain-colored velvet or
cloth underskirt often has a hOp-sack'
ing or fancy cheviOt Overskirt combining
several cOlOrs.
PIAIN OR FANCY
black braid is very much used for skirt
trimmings, put on in rows about hall
the width Of the braid apart, or In
rufnes so scant as merely to give q wavy
apoearance. AT a recent opening a
brown cloth skirt had thirty-One rows
OF black braid, the added basque having
four rows, which appeared 20 be a con-
~tInuation OF the skirt. The sleeves had
three frils trimmed with braid, q round
woke made up of braid %rutleS, and a
shoulder cape similarly Ornamentsd fell
over the sleeves. Crimson cloth cos
TUNES trimmed TO this style are very
effective. A tinsel or cOlored edge,
s~imuIatiug % heading is often woven ia
fancy braids. Flat bands are a special
feature Cs regards trimmings; often at
tached 10 the principal material al one
or both sides, by delicate embroidery In
u|uduIating patterns, gallOon, steel
cordiugs or steel sparks. Contrasting
bands are very stylish in cashmere robe
patterns and also on broad trimmed
hats.
THE COAT BODICE
has r~eapDeared, both as an indoor and
outdoor garment, with a middle q 40
the back, and although generally light
fitting, sometimes has loose fronts with
vest for street wear. Velvet girdleS
are quite an addition 20 these garments,
relieving the long, stiff appearance
which they are apt to have; but Ike
hin seams are an optional matter. Add
ed basQues are very fashionable, with
either plain or full skirts, and occasion
ally three skirts, one over the other
leach about three inches deep is seen;
as for example, in a green costume
trimmed with black, the upper and
lower skirts are green and the second
black. Short basQues about three inches
deep are quite in favor, and round
waists are still seen on evening dresses.
Shoulder trimmings are universal both
plain or very full and rCUCrS are so large
in some cases, that the corner is attach
ed 70 the sleeve cap.
COLORED AND BLACK
beaver jackets for winter wear are
heavy reproductions Of she coat bodice,
trimmed with steel or Jet beading, fur
or braid, and buttOned down the front
with a single or double row Of extreme
ly large buttons. Enormous reverS
render a jacket very conspicuous, par
ticularly when covered with steel bead
ing; therefore persons OF refined tastes
prefer those trimmed with hrst-cIaSs
fur, or a moderate quantity Of braid.
A simulated girdle formed 0y rows of
braid is very generally popular.
Madium length black plush or velvet
caUes are very dCsireble, h~armonIzing
with all cOlOrs, usually trimmed with
let p~assemeuterje, fur or mOiro, and
not uufreQuently all three are com
biued. Triple c0poS are very hand
some, when each border has a jet pas
sementerie band edged 10y fur.
RECENT MILLINERY OPENINGS
have decided the fact that everybody
Who can wear o round hat will GER
tainly do so. Trimmings are both high
and low, with a reminder of Alsatiau
styles. Quite a good deal Of black or
white lace IS used on brims, as for ex-
ample, a broad brimmed tan hat has
wide black lace gathered on the brim,
with q cluster Of brown tips and pink
velvet bows at the front, thrust
through by very large steel pins. Three
cOrnered hats are very gay and dash
ing for young girls, also the "Nnp0-
leon" hat, an illustration Of which is q
pale green felt, with the brim cut 10
squares at tho back and sides, with
deep white lace laid under the orim.
The front is turned back and ias
tened % the crown by a green
aud pink satin roSette over the lace
lining, with q green aigretto next the
lace. A broad twist OF pink satin passes
around the crown with pink and green
satin roSettes and steel pins az the side.
While velvet is very much used as bows
or rosettes, a velvet hat is quite an ex-
cepti0n. TOQues formed OF fancy cut
let crowns, with Colored velvet twisted
In any graceful way around the crown
end jet Mercury wings, or bats wings
faring &C the front, are particularly
stylish, and will be worn in the evening
by young or middle-aged ladies'.
