No striking novelties appear as
yet in dress material, "two tone"
fabrics predominating largely, stripes
combined with raised dots, striped
changeable stuffs, granite mixtures,
tweeds, cheviots and goodly proper
tion of rough camel's hair stuffs,
together with plain colored wools,
constitute just at present leading
styles. AS a matter of course, checks
are very prominent, often diversified
by minute contrasting lines or dots.
Light weight wool fabrics, fannels or
fancy cripons, intended Tor house
wear or children's garments are so
varied and attractive that they con-
stitute a special feature among fall
novelties, and it goes without saying
that all who are experienced In such
matters, will use Ivory Soap in
cleansing them--the only sure means
of preserving their color.
No VERY DECIDED CHANGES
Are apparent in new costumes, the
majority of skirts being very little
trimmed; two or more fiat bands
stitched at either edge, or a milliner's
fold, seem to fulfil present require
ments New skirts have seven
cores instead of five, faring
additionally around the edge, but
still closely fitted at the top. "Tailor-
made" suits have lost no prestige;
the long coat bodice, with a back,
similar to that of a gentleman's frock
coat, appearing in new street dresses,
and short basques, round or pointed
waists, shirred yokes, revers, invisi-
ble fastenings and the familiar velvet
belt, establish the fact that last sea-
sons dress is still presentable, but it
