Fashion Hints for In Door and Out-of.Do0r
Wear.
Changeablc effects in satins, silks,
moires. silk and wool mixtures, and
fancy yelyets are still the correct FASH
ion Notwithstanding their prolonged
favoritism. Changeable bengalines
are In great use and appear In many
novel combinations. Shot behgalines
with dotted or striped surfaces make
pretty vests and sleeves for fine WOOL
an costumes. Tomato-red velours in
ribbed patte rms, finished with cut jet
pimps. is.likewise used for decorating
the bodices of handsome black cos
tunes for the early winter.
One of the best-lnown utility fabrics
now used by tailors and modistes is the
"Gbre chamois"-an ideal interlining
made of the felted fibre of the spruce
tree. 1t is as soft and pliable as
tanned chamois or docsllin, yet 1T is so
strong that it can be maehine-stitched
like wooden cloth, and the manufac-
turers claim at is warmer than cham
Dis. also cleaner; cheaper, and health.
Ter. and that as an interlining 1t will
wear as long as any garment it hn-
ishes.
A new autumn basque that is grace
full and not at all masculine-looking
has flat position backs falling about
five-eighths of a yard on the skirt,
while the front is in open Eton shape,
finished with breasted vest.
There is still great fancy for short
Jacket waists, the style even extending
to those made of seal and other furs.
Some have double-breasted fronts, and
all have revers. Sleeves have even
more material in them than they had
last season, and they are considerably
wider at the elbow.
For the street for the first cold days
| of the season are charming little col
| let's of seal, otter, or moired astrakhan
| fur, called the Duchess of York peler-
ines They have a high collar and are
lined with shot silk in gay color-blend-
ings. Other triple collars of black or
dark green Lyoas velvet are edged
with rich fur, and made SO full around
their lower edgts that they show
| glimpses of their effective Innings OF
yellow, scarlet, OF rose-colored moire.
The Medici collar is similarly lined,
and the tint usually imparts becom-
| ing touch to the face of the wearer.
On some one C the model walking
skirts of covert oc Venetian cloth is a
band of Russian S'tiloon woven in red,
green Tor black) End gold, with very
narrow line of f,lr each side of the
gimp. A similar trimming is round
the neck and sleeves of the round
wasted bodice, and with a corsage thus
shaped belt or gira,e is indispensable.
A belt is made Of raws of the gimp set
close together, stfTered, silk lined, and
fastened with bucisi of bronze or old
silver. Some of the far strips used for
trimming are laid Oh bias bands of vel
vet, and narrow feather bands are used
in the same marnsr, some being ex'
tremely pretty, especially those OF
shaded ostrich tlfis and pheasant
feathers combined.
