in combination with white and cream.
A French hat in 'sunburnt'' straw
has two black Mercury wings rising
from pink rosettes, placed on either
side in front.
Some OF the new hats in deep shades
of biscuit are exceedingly pretty, and
particularly becoming to dark olive
compilations. "n-
There is some sign of a return to
pointed bodices, with a frilled basque of
lace or ribbon forming loops over a fiat
square basque.
Designed for the average purse are
black, green and shot velvet capes with
deep cap collar edged with black fox,
seal or otter fur.
Very pretty trimmings for brown and
tan felt hats are made of velvet shaded
from browns to green, or from brown to
old rose or orange.
Basque bodices are coming in, and
this is commendable, for the round
wasted corsage is not suited to heavy

shoulders and length of throat, the airy
lisse ruff edged with narrow lace is a
charming addition to the toilet.

The new and distinctive color of this
season il called ''saphizine" and is a
beautiful shade of sapphire blue. Every
tone of green Is also in favor in autumn
and winter materials.
Buttons, SO long dishonored and
despised, will be used with reckless
profusion as a trimming on severe
gowns, wen appearing on the skirts as
we'll as on the bodices.
In sable, seal, otter, ermine and real
Persian lamb the new fur capes and
pelerines make extremely imposing ad-

is prohibitive to the majority.
In bonnets wa noticed a tempting one
of black gauzo and rich black guipure
lace, with a pert bit of glowing wall
flower perched in the center, held by o
tiny ieweled buckle.
Heavy tweeds. cheviots, and other
