A BRILLIANTLY CoLoRED
plain, striped or plaided surface, with
an oyer-weave of black cameps hair,
IN minute curls, knottings or lace-like
figures, is the leading characteristic OF
expensive wool novelties, giving rise
to the uame, "Boucle" (curled)
fabrics. An intermixture Of black Is
the keynote to this seasons styles;
pervadIng all departments, and crea-
ting a greater variety than could other
wise exist. Changeable woods and
silks as well, are very stylish, and
heavy serges In rich color combina-
tions, ranging from 80 cts, to $3.50 per
ward. make handsome, useful cos
tunes, appropriately trimmed with
small silk frogs or bias velvet bands.
Stripes are another very important
factor, varying from the hair-line to
those twelve inches broad; these last
however are always variously shaded.
The predominance of light colors In
fall hats is marked, at the same time
black and white combinations con-
tlnue in great favor. The Leading
novelty of the season Is rounu'
fiat pieces of felt, to be made up on
frames, according to the milliners
fancy or requirements of the weaver

shadings, then again the outer ana
inner sides are in sharp contrast. Trim
mings are heavy, and satin-fnished

stick pins. and double-faced satin RID.

alarming abandon. Two feathers,
high wings or Jet ornaments placed

edges turned back, and the front trim
ming arranged In the manner just de-
scribed. VERONA CLAhkE.
