Notes of Dress of Interest to Women
This Fall.
The silks this year are irresistible. 1t
is only the strong-minded woman who
can pass them by. Upon backgrounds of
exquisite tints blossoms have fallen,
which seem painted upon the fabric, so
delicate Is their outline. Wavy moires
are seen in all the new shades, and the
striped silks show combinations of color
to satisfy the artist.
1t Is to be season of silks. All silk
gowns are III high tayor-silk waists are
losing none OF their popularity-and silk
as trimming will adorn many of the
best made cloth gowns. For evening
costumes the brocaded silk is perhaps
the most beautiful. One design shows a
background OF violet carelessly scattered
with delicate green ferns. This silk is
combined with q rich mauve velvet and
made resplendent by gold embroidered
lace. Another exquisite pattern is of
turquoise silk with design OF silver
crescents. Pearl gray velvet is used for
the foundation of the gown. All the lat
est brocades are wrought with large de-
slgA, which would be unpIeasantly con-
splcuous If it were not Tor the delicate
colOrIug.
Striped silks are feature of this sea-
sons display. \ plain rose silk will be
striped with black, or some subdued

the evening gowns much heavy lace and
SpangIed net is used. Jet and fur are
also to act as trimmings.
The moires are as popular as during
last season. They are out in all the latest
shades and
quite formidable. Bluet moire is to be
seen in all the best shops. For an entire
gown 1t would surely prove an artistic
failure, but combined with black velvet
and an abundance OF jet it makes a cos
tune OF distinction. Cerise moire is an
other novelty. This also needs the SUBJ
DUNG influence OF black lace or velvet.
The tatfetaS are everywhere and thew
are pretty enough to receive a welcome
Tattetas shoWered with blurred blossoms

Faint pink rosebuds scattered over q vio-
let background and trimmed with mauve
velvet come in dainty gowns for winter
dances. Pilsse tattetas have much the
effect of shirred silk with tiny pulls be-
tween hatly woven stripes. Changeable
tattetas are still in demand. They make
admirable skirt waists TO wear with dark
skirts. eros de tour is one of the new
silks warranted to wear more than a sea-

come in all the many shades and are a
bargain.-New York World.
Some OF the new Jackets are very effect
i've and are frequently made open in
front, hanging straight from either side
OF the neck with a double-breasted vest
which is Joined to the coat at the seam
under tho arms. An imported Jacket
made IN this style is OF dark green broad
cloth, the double-breasted vest of the
same material with cut steel disk buttons.
and the neck covered with a closely fit
ting velvet cape and collar. The former
is edged with an embroidery of tiny cut
steel beads-the same embroidery being
placed in V shape on the back of the
coat itself
Another very good-looking wrap is
made to match the skirt, and is worn
over silk blouse. This is a short tightly
hitting single breasted round Jacket of
heather mixture, with deep cape of the
same, the under side of the cloth being of
regular orange color. This cape hangs
only just over the shoulders, the front be-
ing LETT entirely open. The advantage of
this combination cloak is that the cape
can be left Oft entirely, or can be closed

can be left open as already described.
one OF the coming novelties will be the
tulle collar with long accordion-pleated
ends hanging straight from either side of
the neck, and broad accordion-pleated
wings at the back. 1t suggests the be-
coming ruff of ancient times.-New York
