Nothing is occupying our attention
more at present to the exclusion of al.
most every other form of dress bodices

smart occasion is made of pale silk
oIace silk, the sleeves are entirely new

the full butterfly gathering down the
centre OF the outer arm, chemiSette
Cf fine muslin narrowly tucked and
trimmed with edging and frillS. The
coffee color NalenCiennes laceS are also
quite new.
An attractive walking costume is of
.sb gray serge. The skirt moderately
uide and bordered with a band of Rus
san leather. The corSage hooks in

,,raps Of leather, which also trim the
sleeves at the tight fitting wrist. A
Uidc rcyer of green satin trims the
'front.'. and finishes into a square collet
in the back.
A pretty cape is of Scotch plaid,
lined with silk. The pelerine is round
"a in front with small side pockets. A
second collet is headed by capeline
lined with plaid silk, standing collar
and long bow of plaid satin ribbon.

Although the shops are as yet con-

rive a few fall novelties.
The sleeves have the fullness at the
elbow exclusively and tight fitting over
the shoulders, will not as yet be adopt
ed by lhe fashionable woman. 1t is
doubtful that this fashion will ever come
into full sway.
Draped skirts are not advocated, as
twas thought at first they would be,
considering the amount OF simulated
draperies seen in the two last seasons.

not on the decrease, as far as can be
judged. -.----..---

same colorS will be worn as in sum-

blue are the latest shades employed,
and they are seen especially in velvetS
and satins for millinery use in the modes
ready for winter.
The Gismonda gauze for evening
wear is like the ancient bayadere, but
mettter in coloring. 1t is very sheer
material, with one filmly stripe of gauze
and another narrow one of satin OF ex-
MiSite shades. Some have the gauze
part strewn with little embroidered
lowers.
Of course, sleeves having retained
their tullness, that means capeS more

Hats will continue to be immense, in |
