r FALL STYLES o STREET ATTIRE.
garment that n scarcely knows how to
classify. 1t is called a redingote and was
of dull blue cloth with two bias straight
rufaes, if enc might so call a fold without
fullness. These were bordered with astra-
khan, and so were the folds of the a
The skirt opened in trent over a white
panel. The sleeves were made of white
cloth, and SO were the wide lapels. The v
shaped part was of white cloth. The lapels
were embroidered in Persian colors and
pattern. With this costume goes a white
felt bonnet with an enormous sccop-an
old, old style revived.
1t is quite the thing for a modiste to fur
nish a hat or bonnet to go with eac. street
costume and a ute little ''tea capn to go
with a home dress.
The other dress is old rose cloth, which
fabric comes this season in all sorts of col
ors. This is made with a full umbrella
skirt, with three rows of stitching and a
rolled band of persian lamb. There is a
basque of the same cloth, made quite full
in the skirt at the back, open over a weston
of brecade, cream and pink. The sleeves
and reyers have narrow trimming like that
upon the skirt. Long suede gloves go over
the arms. A hat or small bonnet can be
worn with this costume, but the other one
would require a large hat, owing to the
width of the shoulder cape. Those two
styles will be leading ones for the fall with
slight variations. as one is very pronounced
and the other rather conservative and less
striking. Black goods will be largely en-
ploYed for fall gowns. and the redingote
would be truly elegant in black goods with
narrow astrakhan~ bindings.
/ have noticed that in all the garments
intended for fall that astrakahn is used
wherever possible as a garniture. It is very
rich and not so very costly, and it goes
with almost every material. Even anna
teurs can manage it.
Among the odd fancies for young ladies
who like to have something rather strik-
ing l saw a black satin duchess gown with
two white lace 1ounces, one at the bot
tom and one near the top. Around the
waist was a girdle formed of the lace, and
the bottom fared on in a little rufle. The
upper portion of the eorsage was of the
satin, and where the lace and satin Joined
there was a quilting of narrow lilac ribbon
and two small r~osettes, from which droop-
ed fonr long ishtail ends reaching nearly
to the bottom OF the dress. There were 9TH
ers just like them in the back. The sleeves
were pulled, made of lilac satin, headed
with caps of lace and finished with deep
rufies of the same. An enormou straw
hat was faced with lilac Grape and had sew
eral bows of changeable ribbon in maize
and lilac and piunes Of shaded ostrich
feathers. This is the kind Of hat that
strikes terror into the hearts of theater
goers and envy into the hearts Of other
girls.
There was a home toilet that was a per-
feet dream of beauty for a brunette. The
dress wasof blackand gray striped taffetas,
made with a plain skirt opeEing over a rich
maize colored satin panel, which had a row
of fringe made of tiny chenille balls, headed
by a jet ornament. The lower part of the
waist was maize satin, and the upper black
lace over the gray silk. There was a deep
