We return to the first principals.
Coaching parties ply far from the rail-
road. Gay parties, just sufficiently
champeroned, tramp the hills In garo
of hard won simplicity. They say II Is
unnatural TO speak naturally when
more than three are together. Some
thing more OF skill and boldness is re-
ouired In the sophisticated days TO make
a successful notwithstanding gown
than a mere fall dress. Take the fine
athletic creature OF the gray blouse
who strobe so womanfully about the
crest OF the bowl. Think You her
plain skirt, her plated aud belted
blouse, her full but plain sleeves, the
odd woke, the Tam O'Shanter hat, were
accidental associates? Hardly so. 1t
takes thought TO provide this setting
OF sad grays and rustic russell for a
pretty face and figure, to be framed In
| fitting glImpses between dull tree
trunks and flaming ivy. Our artist has
studied her character and her mise en-
scene.
What the Lincoln green may have
been | know not. Here only dull
greens, mostly In serviceable serges and
cheviots, tans, mixed browns and grsys

that much the same selections would
do. as to color, not cut, for the bicycle
dress. But when the cup races call all
hands to the shore, the scene changes,
the sparkle OF sun on blue wave and
cris ping OF white foam take the place
of forest aisles and autumn fields; and
then for blue and white again. The
sea is never old. And beyond the blue
and white come city November,
country homo Christmas and
then the ever shortening season.
But that's far look ahead. Autumn
first. Autumn hats for instance. Straw
will be worn late, later than usual.
Birds' wings and bows OF knotted ribbon
will catch the eye. Most OF the new
shapes are rather fat and low Of crown,
fancy expanding itself In waving orims
and conceits OF trimming. Dark ribbons
on lighter ground VIII be much worn,
and, of course, two tints In harmony
with those OF the corresponding cos
tune will be chosen. The hat piquante,
not the hat classical, will be the desider
alum. This means woe for the woman
who is her own milliner. It's so muct
easier TO be precise and trim thar
TO be piouant, odd or surprising. Thus
the modistes wiro their wiles pur
womanhood al the5f mercy.
Observe. again, the heavy transverse
slashes Of "color"-color in the artist;
phrase; that is, shadow-drawn acros:
another autumn dress with its barred
skirt like a yellow jacket, IT'S heavily
marked belt, the heavy horizontal line:
