cape, made an ideally stylish and pretty
costume and one suitable for copying
The days are fast approaching when nc
cape will be required at least for warmth
Pretty effects are obtained by means of the
blouses as so much variety is allowable
and SO much color A brown cloth suit
with tailor finish of the most exquisite
kind had waist of the cloth finished with
a belt of MORE ribbon to match, and there
was a fold of the brown cloth down the
sides of the front The sleeves were mid
ding sized gigots of deeply crinklcd crepon
in red, blue, yellow and white. There was
an enormous double jabot of this same silk
crcpon reaching from the chin to the waist
line and covering the whole front of the
waist Strange as it may appear, this did
not offend the eye.
The newly developed fancy for yellow in
different shades grows, and the streets
and show windows remind one of a bed of
mixed marigolds. The most of these yell
lows are combined with black or brown,
and the waists of large plaids wherein
there are two distinct shades of yellow
barred with wide black stripes forming the
plaids The pattern of these plaids is al
ways very large some of them being ten
inches. One model waist of taifeta plaids
was of pale yellow and mandarin shot and
barred with inch wide black stripes form
ing very large plaid. The front was
plated up in such way as to show an in
set of black velvet with beaded edges. In
the back of the neck was butterfly jabot
of black velvet, and another set at the cen
ter of the belt in the back The sleeves
were balloon puifs with black velvet
manchcs. This was worn over a black

small velvet toquc trimmed with a large
bunch of OK eyed daisies and the usual
curled aigrct. Large plaids lend them
selves we'll to these loose blouse waists with
their broken lines, and they are very
drcssy. yellow and black has always been
favoritc combination. 1t is not amiss for
blends and is peculiarly well adapted for
bruncttes. Nature showed what she
thought of it when she gave us OK eyed
daisies and orioles.
For others VINO do not like such pro-
nounced styles there are more delicate col
ors. A dainty gown for young girl was
of pink and blacd checked taffcta, the
skirt unadorned. The waist had the regu-
laton plat down the front, trimmed with
a zigzag of white silk braid.
There was a bertha caro- of white benga-
line trimmed around with the saw teeth,
and where it fastened to the waist were
set bows of green ribbon. There was a
green ribbon belt with two choux in front.
When l mention pink and green it is to be
understood that they are combined with a
due regard to artistic effect, and that
neither pink nor green is vivid but both are
softencd to the proper tint to harmonic
with each other. The sleeves to this dress
are shirred over coat sleeve foundation,
the outer edge standing up in puff about
two inches. The fore parts Of the sleeves
are of the white and braid, and they were
finished up with small pink rosettes. This
design is very suitable one for young Ia
dies not yet out, and it has peculiarly
girlish appearance.
A more ornate costume, and adapted tC
older ladies, is of tan taffeta, with black
figuring. The skirt is simple. The wais;
