Severely Simple but Distinctively At
tractive.
n. Y. Correspondent Rlchmo nd Dispatch.l
Some of the new fall street styles
are of almost severe simplicity, and
yet they are distinctively attractive
and desirable. But it must be re-
membered that this extreme plain
ness of cut and make demands more
than usual grace and shapeliness of
form to carry it off we'll, and women
deficient in these attributes should
prefer the more elaborate modes.
One of these unadOrned frocks is in
q dark-green basket-woven wooden,
in a fall weight. 1t is made with
plain, round waist, passing inside
the skirt beneath a narrow belt of
the same material. There is a yoke
effect rather indicated than real
The sleeves are made with the Gus
tomary fullness below the shoulders,
and close-fttiDg cuffs to the elbows.
There are three skirts, overlapping
each other, and of equal width.
About the entire costume there is
nothing, absolutely nothing, in the
way of trimming Or Communication.
Not even a line of braiding on the
skirt. The dress is, nevertheless, one
which will attract more notice for the
trimness and grace of it's lines than
will be directed to the most elaborate
of the sc ason's combinations.
VISITING DRESSES.
A new visiting toilet note1 in tie

of French gowns, calls for a passing

are now a-days kind of happy
medium between the walking gown
[ and the reception costume; not too
formal, but sufficiently elaborate.

FOR TAILOR MADE DRESSES.
Among the new woolens, the popu
larity of the smooth-finished, or, a
our English cousins call them
"faced" cloths is apparent, and thes
will probably rule for tailor mad
dresses. The hop-sacking tweeds
however, are seen in much create
variety than in the spring Thes
odd fabrics will probably be yer
generally worn. In the spring the
were confined to few of the ultra
stylish. Bou. Ell ties, which Away
have a certain vogue, are seen in
good many novel effects, and in a
the seasonable shades. Speaking {
,, colors, it is safe to say that tn
