FAsH1oN NOTES.

A1S mCta2s .. .r...
Line fine dress skirts with silk; they
will hang much better.
There are already purple tints dis
played that promise to be popular.
The three furs most in demand Will
be mink, sealskin and Persian lamb.
One pretty combination for gown
is of putty colored cloth and blue gray
silk.
A brownish pink called clover color,
Aax-aower blue, dull green's and cycla-
men are among the most fashionable
colors.
A band of ribbon in irregular folds
across the front and finished at the
arms with rosettes Is especially be-.
coming.
With fancy waists, collars, vests,
waistcoats, blouses and neck dressing,
one may almost transform an ordinary
wardrobe. ...
The bolero jacket still continues the
fashion, and checks and stripes, both
small and large, are tremendously
fashionable. ..s ..
White wooden "sweaters, they say,
with soft, black silk ssshes, will be
the thing to wear for bicycle riding
on cool mornings.
The forget-me-not is the favorite
ornamentation on the new belt buckles.
Daisies and roses can also be found IN
their natural oolors.
Two straps crossing the front and
ending under ribbon belt at the un-
der arm seam, and in rosettes at the
shoulders is effective.
Feather boas are soft and pretty,
but have your boa made Of gauze. 1t
is an elegant novelty and is both an
ornament and q protection.
A new shape in hats is the 'Mar-
jorie." It turns down slightly in the
back and to point in front. It is be-
coming as well as comfortable.
Bows are set on the shoulders quite
irrespective Of other trimmings, and a
large bow on the front Of waist some
times extends from arm to arm.
A tomato-red silk waist is pretty
addition to make to ones wardrobe at
this season. Diagonal bands OF blaoA
guipure insertion make an effective
trimming. -..r.
The newest waistcoats for wearing
with open coats are made OF brown
Holland thickly embroidered dowr
the front with fswn-color and white
fax threads.
Ribbon laid on q skirt in two bands
about five inches apart, and drawn to-
gether at intervals of eight inches and
sewn down with rosettes of ribbon, Il
very pretty trimming.
If your black silk is to be the pre-
scribed skirt crush belt and ceat
basque, you will need eighteen yards,
This reminds us of the time when that
was the invariable pattern.
Albeit requiring less ribbon is started
at the left Of the front, extends around
the waist, and after crossing the end
is drawn up and finished with 8 bow OF
rosette over the right side of the bust
The yoke effect is made by bow
of ribbon softly folded, reaching from
the neck and shoulder seams to thu
bust and finished with rosettes. Front
and back are to be trimmed in the
same manner.
Plumage decorated with jet is fash
ionable in quills and wings where the
outlines are marked with jet tfrostine
or the celuloid spsngles cover the
center, one-haf OF the entire face Of
the ornament.
A very effective way of using ribbo1
is that Of bows on the shoulder, con
sistiug of two loops rather long, ano
two ends that are caught up under the
puff of the sleeve, one in the back and
one in the front
Velvet is being made up as trim
ming in such quantities as to warrant
the belief that it is an advanced fall
style. And there is nothing prettier
or more becoming in the whole cate
CORY of trimmings.
Tho rage for tulle for cravats and
iabots is extensive, and the colors are
most brilliant, for instance, yellow
ish green, bright red and orange yel.
low. If the gown is OF a neutra!
color and the hat is trimmed to har'
monize, the effect is good.
Black ribbon, satin and moire, il
used a great deal on all gowns. Ever
very light colorsd orepons, ginghamf
and percales have belts, bowsand end'
of black ribbon. The contrast il.
while striking from it's novelty, very
effective, particularly on wash gowns
The hats grow more fanciful as the
season advances. This is all right
for the youngsters, but for their
elders it renders it difficult to make a
becoming choice. There are very
few innovations in the styles at pres.
ent, and they are all very simple and
pretty.
The latest French fashion for dress.
inc the hair is to wear it straight back
from the face ringenue, with the
knot very high on the top ofthe head.
This gives guileless, innocent look
which is very "tetching," if the
wearer has q pretty brow, and il
young and fresh enough to stand it.
Velvets, say returned importers, arr
sure to be 8 tremendous success fol
the autumn and winter seasons fol
costumes, wraps, fancy jackets, three
quarter "dress" coats, redingotes
