LIE cnevlots, whose popularity is
perennial, are seen in loose weaves
and somewhat coarse effects. Brown
are favorite combinations of color.
The checked cheviots make dura BILE
gowns and are much the vogue. They
are made up severely plain and
trimmed with large buttons.
Velvet capes trimmed with fur and
lace will be sold to match hats, and
cloth capes with strapped seams are
bravely holding their own. To be
strictly up to date they must be made
with full jabot of plaid silk down
the front. Many of the new hats will
be worn well over the forehead, and
in coloring and design they are quite
inconspicuous. The turban is high in
favor and should be made of braided
felt in shaded effects.
The edict comes from abroad that
sleeves have diminished more than
half in size. Close-fitting sleeves, with
out the suggestion of puff or stiff
fened lining, are to be the vogue
Crinoline is already a thing of the
past. Skirts require the same quantity
of material, but their folds show ten
dency to droop demurely. The fact is
that the up to date woman dressed &C
eording to the coming winters fash
ions will occupy no more space when
she walks abroad than the average
man. To say the least, this is disap-
pointing. Louis XVI styles are in high
favor and the coat of this period will
be seen with all sorts of gowns. Much
lace and many imitation jewels will
also be the vogue. Though it is ru-
mored that the small sleeve will be the
only correct one to wear this fall, vet
there is a goodly company of women
who will refuse to submit TO the sud-
den change. They will still cling to
the puff, but it will be a dropping af-
fair, made entirely without stiffening.
All the fashionable sleeves droop well
off the shoulder, and many of them fit
the arm closely for few inches below
the shoulder, and then suddenly eN-
pand into a puff This is the latest
sleeve for evening gowns. Fashionable
tailor-made frocks will be made with
a semi-close-fitting coat sleeve.-N. Y.
