Now Becoming Popular.
September and October are ideal
months for outings of all sorts. Many
persons make very few plans for ex-
ceedingly hot weather, other than to-
go to some cool and shady retreat, far
from fashion or the weariness that at

forces and in the refreshing and inspir-

harvest of health and strength and

my sun hat and study until cool days
come, has been remarked by more than
one fashionable woman.
Many people, especially those of deli
cate temperament, live on fruits and n
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 rusticating among the woods,
and hills or domesticated in the coolest.

prepare charming costumes for au-
tumn, and will go out to enjoy them
free 'rom danger of being overcome by
heat Or of spelling their attractive
dresses by dust and perspiration.
Tie tailor costume is but little
changed from the models already ap-
prov I'd. One of the notifications con-
sists in very free use of silk of con-
trasting color. Collars, revers and
cuff, 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 stiffcned
with canvas.
There are double cuffs also, and these
are slightly pointed toward the under
side of the arm.
A design sent out for lady of some
what stout figure is of putty-colorcd
| cloth and blue gray silk. There is a
| double arrangement as described: then,
from the under-arm seams, plain sec
tion of silk extends to the front, meet
ing under large bow with loops. This
| is liked, as the dark color appears to
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,

the skirt is in Il hounce of alternate
rows of cambric and insertion with II

of lace. and the same lace forms rutf1e
below the belt. The sleeves are in al
ternate rows of insertion and material,
with fall of lace at the elbows. \ pro-
fusion of ribbons and fancy belt fin
ish this dainty costume.
A dress of crepon is made with 4 deep
hounce of chiffon set on to the material
before it is plated. This makes the
folds continuous, and a chiffon rufflG
with embroidereded edge finishes the foot
of the skirt Wide sashes of silk are
wound around the waist and brought
up Just over the shonlder blades at the
back, where there are large bows and
I ends that fall almost to the hem of the
skirt. Lace, embroidery and velvet
with heavy silk in contrasting color
are TO be the favorite trimmings for
the season, and there is tendency
toward festooning and also the use OF
small applique figures of dark material
on light ground.-N. Y. Ledger.
