er's Art.

This winter is to bring us some
things really new, for new modes and
money move hand in hand, and where
money is not offered the novelties may
not be lightly purchased.
The newest autumn hats promise to
be veritable aviaries. Last May and
June the forehanded dealers in birds
and feathers dyed, mounted and
packed away for the fall trade thou
sands and thousands of pretty wings
destined to futter their last over the
cruel and gentle crowns of well dressed
women. These birds are mounted with
wide spread pinions on the front brim
of the low crowned picturesque feits
soon to arrive, and all of them.are elab-
orately trimmed with jet. The edges
of wings and tail sparkle with fine lines
of Clipped jet, and on their heads nod
peacocklike crests, made of a stiff net
THE NEW HAT.
Hats themselves will be wider and
bonnets more aDsurdiy nnnuIe lnaa we
have seen in a long time and the col
ors to prevail through the autumn
promise to be bluette, or cornfloWer
blue, and d strange and wonderful
shade of faded red called Francois.
Bluette is really both novel and charm
ing, and used for neck decorations in
velvet, chiffon and tule, is delightful
with all gowns, while the Francois
seems something of a sop thrown to
that Cerberus, the masses, and not in
the least an indication of what smart
women will effect.
REFURBISHING OLD CLOTHES.
Whosoever last spring had a tailor
gown with long sllirted coat and re-
vers turned back from a chemisette,
can bring herself very economically up
to date, by Topping off the tail about a
foot all around and replacing the
chemisette by vest of English cloth,
black, picked out with wee dots in
scarlet blue and white silk. Perhaps
too, the revers might be faced with
black MORE and the cloth sleeves re-
placed by larger ones still of the silk,
for tails are shorter in proportion as
sleeves grow steadily bigger. Skirts
are changing ever so slightly. So the
winter skirt is rather wider than ever
before; it is lined, not made on a sham,
and has on the inside edge one or two
narrow fat plaits or crimpled ruffles.
At the top it is finished by a binding
in place of a waist band, over the out
side of which is laid two or three close
little folds of silk or satin, ending in
one or two outstanding loops and ears
or in couple of small fat rosettes.
DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIONS.
A nice expression of what the good
dressmakers are doing by their early
autumn patrons is given in the first
| sketch of a town or country house for
September This is a. light weight,
dark brown wool erepsn, trimmed with
rough wooden braid laid on in graded
lengths from top to hip and finished
with rosettes; twist of braid encircles
| the waist, while a coarse black silk lace
forms the collar and deep cuffs. One
would wish to call particular attention
to the double puff sleeves, the form of
which is in very good taste and widely
adapted for materials of bouyant quail
ity, as crepon and the taffetas women
are using so much in the demi saison.
Black satin in stock shape consti-
tutes the throatband, and for dress
of this pattern counties varying and
charming notes lin the way of neck
decoration can be introduced. Collars
of clear yellow or warm toned geran-
ium velvet would be in good taste, or
for theatre wear, when even a lighter
note is desirable, Its wearer could sub
stitute for the black stock a collar of
bluette chiffon very full, drawn out to
gathered in front through d narrow,
very brilliant steel buckle. There are
collars, too, contrived of bluette tulle
in crispy rosettes. In these the collar
itself is made Of a wide bluette satin
ribbon, then two tulle pompons are set
on the front of it under the chin, two
