tumes-Jackets and CaPes-The Felt
PIateau-ColOrs.
A marked peculiarly OF high-clasS
wool novelties for fall and winter wear,
is rich combinations; and also an upper
weave OF black, half-veiling a bright
colered groundwork. An illustration OF
this is the "Bucle tcurled) FIalds,.
covered with tiny CurlS OF placE came! $
hair. over a gOrgeously-colored pIalu
foundation. A somewhat similar mater
iaI has a changeable green and crimson
surface. with raised green diagonal
stripes. quite close together, between
which are black knOttings and
curls, modifying but not conceal
inc the bright hueS below.
Another silk and wool fabric has
cbapgeable repped grOuad over Wnlcn
verv small, raised, triangular velvet ng-
ures In contrast form q broad stripe,
and a narrow cord stripe, resembling
colored heads on a string, runs diago-
paIly across the velvet stripe. Inese
materials are the most recbercRe no" ia
the market, forty eight inches ne ana
ranging in price from $3.50 TO so.OO per
ward. Two tone" are less expensive,
combining but TWO stylish colors either
60 corded or raised stripes on contrast
ing surface, or partly defined hgures
woven i'm the material. A tendency to-
ward basket weave" or hop-sacklng
effects is noticeable, and 10 making up a
broken stripe they are valuable Access
SORES. Changea0le serges are very at
tractive medium priced $50 cents per
yard) goods, and bOurettes occupy quite
a prominent position among heaVy
woods. First quality cheviOts show a
very liberal Sprinkling OF crimson, and
here also underlined stripes are seen 70
great advantage.
THE FEW FALL STYLES
that are on exhibition at this early
date. show no marked change, except
that there is less trimming on skirts
and sleeves appear larger. A new
street dress Of first quality changea0le
serge IS trimmed with very small SIX
frogs exactly matching the material,
eighteen being placed on zach side seam
OF the front gore OF the skirt, top and
bottom, leaving a v" mt space az the
middle. The wa. IS medium length
added basque, with frogs on the sleeves,
auu every smaIT vest or yellow silk ruff
fes. Sleeves are now plated instead
OF gathered, as breadth is desired and
not height. A handsome dress is Of
dark blue brOadClOth has a plain skirt,
with two straps of black and white bead
passementerie, about two inches lOngt
set at each side Of the front gore, over
white satin. The waist has a jacket
front opening on q black MORE vest,
with a similar row OF paSSementerie on
either side, and very broad white satin
revers. A third costume OF bright tan
cloth, seen az the well-knOwn house Of
Lord g. Taylor has four inch wide,
Persian lamb border, extending around
the skirt and up the left side to the
waist, with a row Of gilt passementerie
above Il. The coIsage Is another added
basque trimmed in harmony with the
skirt; the sleeves have several rows Of
shirring on the inside, and cuffs are
sOrmek by tucks run TO the elbow.
FALL AND wISTER JACKETS
are long, falling TO the knee, and in
many cases entirely covered by braid
ing either standing or fiat. COIOrs are
decided, toned down with black; sleeves
are plated, collars with a faring ten
dency, and although the majority are
full at the back, below the waist, others
are quite plain. Most Of the new short
capes are black, trimmed with white
guipure lace, put on Tat, aud the edges
finished by black net ruchiDg 0Ordered
with white. The shoulder cape is large,
without fuIluess, square over the arms;
q nd,
at the front, trimmed around with
black and white ruching.
THE FELT PLATEAU
is the most popular shape in millinery,
with or without crowns, wide or mar
row brims, curved or crinkled into
every imaginable shape, and usually
very heavily trimmed. A peculiar
style is illustrated by fiat, round pieces
of felt, In white edged with black, and
vice versa; all fashionable hu5s, often
times shaded with two or three cOlorS,
and intended to be made up on wire
flames, according TO individual idea.
Short and long stick pins are neces-
sity 10 the completion OF these varied
faucles, and pearl bead or jet edg-
ings are largely employed on 1rims.
A stylish fancy is TO cut a broad
brimmed plateau up to the crown,
directly in front, and turn back the
edges, filing the space with a large
rosette and two ostrich tips, standing
upright, Just back OF the folded edges.
Brims are sometimes cut In four places,
but that is exceptional. FoQues and
ca ootes exist only as necessities, and
sailors are varied by
silk beaver crowns. Trimmings are
elaborate, embracing four or five coll
ors, but often very stiff, as the fashion
Of placing two high wings or ostrich
feathers in front seems TO gain In
favor, and nothing more lngraceful
eould be imagined. Velvet and ostrich |
feathers are more stylish than ever,
and IN the latter shaded hues are pOpu- |
ar. especially black and white Aig- |
-ettes are in great demand, and dyed |
turkey tail feathers, oInamented with |
let or fur are good substitute for |
ostrich plumes and far more durable. |
Flowers will be used 20 a considerable |
,xtent. such as small crimson or pink
7elVst roses.
NO DECIDED CHANGE
Noticeable in colors. Green and pur-
,le are stil leading shades, reinforced /
~ golden browns. TurQuOis blue and |
burnt orange" are as yet only novel
