Now Becoming Popular.
September and October are ideal
months for outings of all sorts. Many
persons make very few plans for ex-
ceedinglv hot weather, other than to
go to some cool and shady retreat, far
from fashion or the WEAKNESS that at
tends constant dressing and visiting.
They keep quiet. and give themselves
all possible rest until the heat of Au-
gust is past, when they marshal their
forces and in the refreshing and inspir-
Ing autumn days they gather rich
harvest of health and strength and
pleasure.
81 am going to do myself up in cot
ton dress, put on my easy slippers and
my sun hat and study until cool days
come, has been remarked by more than
one fashionab BILE woman.
Many people, especially those of deli
cate temperament, live on fruits and a
| very light diet, and keep as near abso-
lutte quiet as they possibly can. Physi-
cal ease does not by any means presup-
pose idleness of mind, and thousands
of people will come into the autumn
days with store of knowledge gath
| cred while frustrating among the woods
and hills or domesticated in the coolest
possible corner of their own dwellings
| with She world and all its demands
shut out. They have taken time to
prep.re charming costumes for au-
| tuna, and will go out to enjoy them
free from danger of being overcome by
heat Or of spelling their attractive
dresses by dust and perspiration.
The tailor costume is but little
changed from the models already APP
prov"d. One of the notifications con-
| sists in very free use of silk of con-
tras+ing color. Collars, revers and
cuffs are all or part of silk, one of the
new designs in plain cloth having the
collar and lapels covered to within an
inch of the edge with plain silk. This
edge is of the cloth, and the silk is
| caught down and pressed smoothly in
shape. There are also. in addition to
the regular collar and lapels, outer
ones of precisely the same shape, made
of silk lined with cloth and stiffened
| with canvas.
There are double cuffs also, and these
are slightly pointed toward the under
side of the arm.
A design sent out for a lady of some
what stout figure is of putty-colored
cloth and blue gray silk. There is a
| double arrangement as described then,
from the under-arm seams, a plain sec
| ton of silk extends to the front, meet
ing under large bow with loops. This

decrease the size of the waist, an effect
which my lady is not in the least averse
to producing.
A novelty in house dress is made Of
linen lawn. From the belt, about half
the length down, the skirt is in fine,
lengthwise tuclls The remainder of
the skirt is in a f1ounce of alternate
rows of cambria and insertion with a
finish of lace-founcing at the hem.
The wide collar and the full waist are
of the tucking; the collar has deep fall
of lace. and the same lace forms a rutfie
below the belt. The sleeves are in al
ternate rows of insertion and material,
with fall of lace at the elbows. A pro-
fusion of ribbons and fancy belt fin
ish this dainty costume.
A dress of crepon is made with deep
hounce of chiffon set on to the material
before it is plated. This makes the
folds continuous, and chiffon rutfie
with embroidered edge finishes the foot
of the skirt. Wide sashes of silk are
wound around the waist and brought
up just over the shoulder blades at the
back. where there are large bows and
ends that fall almost to the hem of the
skirt. Lace. embroidery and velvet
with heavy silk in contrasting color
