LA VALLIERE AND MARIE ANTOINErTE.
 irregular stripes. Tho skirt was like those worn all summer. The waist was of dark bottle green silk, gathered in to q velvet ribbon belt, with roscttcs and looped bows and ends. The front was left open for :hree inches, and that was tiled in with white silk muslin. Tho sleeves had short but very full puffs of the dark green and long manchcs of dotted white lace over tho dark green silk Tho sleeves and a square, puffcd silk muslin yoke collar, edged with vandykc lace, gave to this cos tune tho title of La NalliCrc. Another wo were obliged to take under tho namc of Marie Antoincttc, forSuOth! because tho waist was drapcd over at one side and be- cause the putfed sleeves were gathered up with a couple of struggling bows. Tho lace caps ovCr tho sleeves belonged to sOmo other epoch, but what of that? You have to take a dresSInakers $ word even when you know better. If you don't, why, look out for misflt or at least a look of su- preno contempt for your ignorance. l scarcely think Marie Antoinctte wore an accordion plated skirt of old roSc taffcta, but perhaps shc did, and anyhow tho dressmaker says she did, SD there arc the Marie Antoincttc styles for you if you want them.
 Tho La NailirrC StylO has no especially marked points except that the sleeves have two and three puffs, separated from each other by bands of ribbon covered by insertion Sometimes these spaces arc closely shirrcd with two or three rows and finished off with dainty little bows. Tho Marie Stuart sleeve has one enormous puff to the elbow, where it is held in by a tidy little bow. The lower portion fits the arm as tightly as possible even huttoning along the wrist.
 Green in its different shades is to bo a favoritc color for fall gowns. some of tho silks, faillcs and tatfrtAs are extremely delicate ana have n sort of siivrry sheen likc that on the under sides of poplar leaves. Corded faille will be a fashionable silk for very handsome gowns. Dark moss green, rich bronze green, pleasing rUSsCt and rush CulurS uS we'll as tho sagc and bright cmrraldS will be seen among the very prctticst fall colurs. Gcrn combines with everything. Silk will be trimmed with plain velvet, often in form of a wide collar edged with rich lace. Plaid silks are shown in great variety and will be used as panels to the skirts of plain silks. There was a beautiful gown of moss green grosso faille, with an opening on the left side of the skirt and a panel of plaid in soft yet brilliant color. The waist was of the faillr, with n crushed blouse front of the plaid. Thrrc was a short cape of vel, vet of exactly the samc shade as the faillc, and this Was lined with the plaid silk.
