mon sense In women. Heavy StuHS,
brilliant cOlors, outre ideas are all very
we'll for q brief space In the autumn, 70
match natures glowing tints; but when
10 comes % the winter wardrobe, 10
gowns that must last for full season,
more stability is demanded shade
and a material that will not be incOn-
gruOus in nine out OF ten situations
Aud so IL is that we have lapsed from
black aud white into all black, and
shall branch out from them into the
rich browns, the dullest green's and cop
pers.
The overskirt IS presenting itself I'm
new form daily, although the skirt Of
three distinct rufies, slightly crinoiined
az the edge, or the skirt OF but two ruff
hes, with a long basque over 20 form q
third, has sufficient OF an Oversklrt suE-
gestion TO satisfy many tall women. OF
course the shorter figure never takes
the triple skirt into consideration. The
triple combinations 60 merrily on,
though they are simply old friends with
new faces; and our arms are large
enough 70 take them all 10. Here Is
o plain skirt with three OF the finest
rutiles az the edge; here a double
skirt, tho upper one falling at two
thirds length with triple stitched
edges. A basque that's perfectly plain
and iastens inylSlbly at the side forms
the third ruifie. A slOpIng 1880 collar,
likewise absolutely foldlesS, falls over
her rudled sleeves. A skirt that has q
triple arrangement OF fancy bands starts
with three OF them, close together; con-
tlnues with a double row. and ends In
single twist. Two nip rufleS give SUI
fcient fullness ABOVE. A black net has
the triple skirt, aud oach ruills bears
three satin bands al the edge; aud so 10
goes.
But our ovsrskirt is blooming out It
IS pretty TO It's present mild form, and
we are beguiled by its seeming inn0-
csnce. The soft way IL has ~ falling
about the other skirt, the little cascade
and scallODS, are very fetching. But
some models show daapes not half so
graceful, that fall in heavier lides about
the hip.
A charming afternoon gown is one Of
dark blue. shot with various dark tints.
a Quaint skirt trimming is an arrange
ment Of diagonal bands, pointed at the
TOP. thatrun all around the bottom.
Tie sloping shoulder collar is different
I'm that Il runs down TO a point iu front
and back. At the base OF the standing
collar g snort rUfls stands out; all three
have embroidered edges, and tae mar
row belt is one OF the same fancy vare-
". The balloon sleeve pufs are caught
In 40 three places.
It is q tie between the tailoI-nade
girl and the overskirt girl; and the
former is certainly coming out in SOME
Of the ueates5 and trimmeSt OF
skirts, that clear the ground
well. so that she has s free,
easv motion 70 her walk. Something Of
the overskirt is given TO one by SOU
tache that marks OF square scalops at
The feet, and has three rows Of stitch
ing beneath so that this upper part ap-
pgrentlv falls over the plain edge be-
meath. that Is finished with marrow
row of white braid. A plain basque
has three cOllarettes, each perfectly
straight aud plain, pOinted 10 front ana
edged with the white, having the
stitching and soutache inside, as on the
skirt.
Another tailor made has nothing but
three rows OF stitching at the feet
The BASQUE has a rather full collar fall
Ing over the shoulders, and 10 leRgthens
INTO plated bib Ia front.
Another Is cut up az thu bottom. the
cuts braided and trimmed With but
tons; the bodice is short sacket, With
