were of very transparent texture, but It
did not seem peculiar as the changes had
been gradual. So fashion is always, and
we should take lesson by the past and be
slow at least to adopt radical changes, at
any rate while our husbands are away.
A pretty ball dress of today is of silk
faille in two different colors, resada green
and rose leaf pink. The breadths are cut
narrow at the top and widen out, each al
ternate width of different color and
piped with a fiat black velvet piping.
Around the bottom is a narrow black
feather trimming. The waist and sleeves
are of black velvet, with pink spangled
lace drapery. There is row of feather
trimming around the square neck Now
| call that an exceedingly nice dancing
dress for n lady as in contrast to the other,
but tastes differ sometimes.
The very newest of this autumn's output
Of dress goods is leaf out of the past.
There are twils diagonal and plain where
there are two distinct colors, so that as the
folds move the color changes. There are gold
upon blue, red and blue, yellow and black,
yellow and brown and green, with all sorts
OF colors for the underlying shade Think
the browns with red or yellow will be the
most popular. Brown in all the snuff shades
are seen as the standard new color, and rich
PUPPIES and prunes come next. Brown as
a color has been out for many years, but is
now decidedly in
The snowflake and Hecked effects are be-
coming very popular, and perhaps more of
them are being purchased for fall than
any other line of goods. The large plaids
where the figure is broken and vague are
already in vogue, There is a new colored
corded cloth with pinhead squares raised
on the surface of some contrasting color
Magenta is a color that goes well with
many of the new colors, and the dots or I'M
DERIVING cords are often of that shade
Cashmeres or magenta, with black polka
dots either singly or in clusters, are seen,
and these will be made up for house dresses
and for children.
There is a peculiarly warm tint in this
seasons browns Some of them are just
the shade of the sunspots on the tobacco
leaves, and from that to havana brown and
then to the light and after dark snuff brown
Some of the new silks have stripes made of
the different shades of brown, others of
gray and others in the seasons colors.
Some are still seen in rainbow stripes, but
not very many, and these will be worn as
dancing dresses or as trimmings.
Some of the velvets are the richest posi-
bic for looms to produce. They are seen in
browns, blues, greens, puppies and black,
and cloaks will be made of them for those
who can afford them. Full suits of velvet
will also be worn for ceremonious occa-
sions such as high teas, afternoon visits
and in fact all social functions where rich
costume is permissible
notice a good deal of raised hand en-
broidery done on the new plush and velvet
capes and cloaks and on the handsome new
broadcloth tailor suits This cannot be
done by machine and therefore is always a
superb trimming that shows it's money
value at a glance.
There are new gloves, made without
stitching of any sort on the back They
really fit the hand better, but do not look
so trim as those with stitching do. Gauntlet
