is being tried, with more or less success
If the cold weather continues most OF
them will Immediately take up course
of training to harden their muscles anc
dispose OF the somewhat bourgeois full
ness of cheek.
But more difficult problem than the
matter of ones physical condition pre-
sents itself Most women have absolutely
nothing to wear The light, pretty sum
mer dresses that were all right for the
summer resort, are sadly out of place in
the city streets. And the one or two
gowns that served for rainy and chilly
days, and for travelling, and are no longer
fresh and spotless. The serge hasn't its
old smart hang, out droops here and says
there in a dispirited manner. And the
summer girl looks rather dejectedly upon
the pile of useless dresses that have been
taken from the trunk, and wonders
whether she will have to sit at home
until new dress can be made.
There are two or three solutions to the
problem. A simple and satisfactory one
is to purchase a plain skirt of dark blue,
gray or black cloth, covert, cheviot, or
one of the waterproof cloths-since you
will want it for the autumn rains. You
can get one of these for a small sum, lust
at this time of the year. Then select the
quietest and best-looking of your sum-
mer-waists, have them laundered or
them with your fresh, jaunty skirt.
Another, and perhaps more satisfac-
tory plan, is to buy an entire cloth suit.
Just now they cost about half what they
did in the early summer. You would, per-
haps, be surprised to see the neat black
suit which YOU can purchase for SIP
skirt and fashionable coat, with double
breasted effect in front, cut-away and
with the long, full skirt effect in the back
Such suit will last well into the fall:
and then can be bought for even less than
the sum named.
For the maiden with a full purse /
would say, get you a new tailor-made suit
at once. The fall materials are coming
out-a little slowly, it is true, owing TO
July's excessive heat which dulled the
faculties OF the creator of our novelties
to some degree. But now they are com
ing to our shores, and in another week
or two we shall have them all with us.
Those that have come clearly indicate
that some Of our fancies of last year have
gone by, while others will be revived in
new Ruise. For instance, the combina-
tions Of color are seen in many of the new
materials, but combinations much softer
and quieter than of yore.
We also learn from the great importers
that crepons will be among the favorite
materials. And this is not to DO won
dered at, when we consider that crepon
appears in so many forms and designs
Those of this season, thus far, are varied
and beautiful. The greater number Of
them show ground work of one color.
over which are thrown stripes or designs
in raised mohair or soft chenille effects.
One Of these latter is particularly beau
tiful. The ground is an uneven stripe of
black crepon ana pink silk, then black
and blue silk Over this is a dotted effect
in cut chenille or plush, in the shades Of
golden brown, shading from delicate
yellow into rich seal tints. The whole is
most brilliant, and soft withal.
Another crepon has a dull heliotrope
ground, with a black chain stitch in
mohair, forming stripe.
Another produces a block effect by
stripes Of dull sage and duh plum color,
with another stripe, crossing these, of |
the curling mohair effect in black
A most dainty silken puckered novelty
