Of eCru lawn.
Though low-neck bodices are worn
for full dress, the plain cuffs of the
nufed sleeves reach to the wrist. 1t is
; pretty fashion, which finds its origin
in Paris.
A costume composed of brown cigar
cloth, with wide shoulder lapels,
draped belt, little gauntlet cuffs and
mrned-down collar of brown velvet of
2 darker shade is very handsome.
The Renaissance style is much worn,
and it allows you to wear high bod
ice, vet preserve a very dressy and
smart appearance.
Bodices are so much trimmed, and
with such a variety of things, until it
is impossible to see where they fasten
or how.
Many of the newest corsages have
capelet sleeves and a blouse front
they differ in color from the skirt.
A Magenta blouse worn with Span
ish green skirt may sound very loud,
but in effect the coloring is beautiful.
That convenient garment, the cape,
has lost none of its vogue, and appears
in single and tWo-tier design in all the
popular furs.
The neat, jaunty and comfortable
coat holds its well-earned place and is
seen both with ripple back and the
plain Prince Albert effect. The fash
ionable length is from "a to 81 inches.
Collarettes are worn in sealskin, Per-
sian lamb, chinchilla and Thibet.
Neck scarfs are still in favor, and the
fGocious heads " which formed
their finish last season, have given
place 10 coquettlsh garnitures of flow
ers and lace.
Women must consider such details
as ribbons, laceS and corsetS to match
petticoats, if they want to deserve the
compliment of being voted we'll

The special novelty about tailor
made dresses, which will be universal
as soon as the autumn disappears, is
the silken stock, which is brought
twice around the neck and pinned in
front with jeWeled pin.
Caters made to reach the hem of the
knickerhockers is an indispensable
adjunct.
Bicyclists are warned not to have
pockets in their coats as the handles
have way of intruding in these in a
mConVenient manner.
1t is quite stylish to line the godet
skirts with morreen and no other lin
ing, binding every seem.
Skirts should clear the ground and
not drop at the centre in the back.
The short corsage pointed front and
back, is worn by stout figures.
Short revers are worn also. large
sailor collars of silk or velvet that end

laSten belts and are put near the
shoulders and belt of ribbon braces
that end in a fluffy bow on the
shoulders.
Jet buttons edged with rhine stones
are worn on black gowns for ornaments
as they are no longer an article of gen.
eral utility.
In lining a circular skirt, cut the lin
ing straight on the sides where the
round curve comes, this presents sag
