At this period of the season little may
be expected in the way of new fash
ions. 1t is too early for autumn styles
and too late for summer ores. so that
neither the dressmaking establishments
nor the shops have anything novel to
show.
New York, too. as far as the fashion
able world is concerned, is still desert

of dress, presenting that democratic
look that goes with the tail of summer.

breadths from an old summer gown
will do wonders toward helping out a.
slim autumn wardrobe. 1t is not neces-
sary to have stuff enough for the en-
tire bodice, as lace, silk, gauze and vel
vet may all appear in one corsage, and
with the deep girdles now being worn
many a short length may be hidden
at the waist in a cunning way the
world little dreams of.
BELTS AND GIRDLES.
In Paris this summer. deep centuries
OF all sorts have been the rage, wheth-
er for short bodices or for those with
basques. Sometimes the belt was in the
shape of a wide velvet bias that met
slanting al the left side and fastened
perhaps with a strass buckle or a great
grasshopper bow. Again several rows
Of narrow velvet, ribbon or gilt braid,
would form the wide ceinture, or an
airy gown would have a deep belt of
silk elastic the same shade as the cos
tune, or else one sewn thick with span
giles or rich with embroidery.
These wide girdle effects will doubt
less be used for many of the new au-
tumn and winter bodices. Some of the
late summer gowns worn here by ultra
fashionables have already shown them,
and on slight figures they proved very
becoming. For bodices of made-over
materials they viii be found invalua-
BILE, as besides eking out shortness
of stuff they provide excuse for the
strong contrast in color a once used
material requires.

for the passe summer frock.
PRACTICAL COMBINATIONS FOR
BETWEEN SEASONS
Those who have old materials that
may be utilized for fancy bodices, will
doubtless be glad to hear that plain
black skirts with odd bodies will be as
much worn this autumn as ever
The combination has proven too prac-
ticai and effective to be done away
with. and between seasons, before other
modes have declared themselves, there
is nothing safer or more economical to
fail back upon.
On the cool days that have appeared
here and there through August many
taffeta silk shirtwaists have been seen
in the streets, worn usually with plain
black serge skirts and by the smartest
women. The shops are also continually
showing fresh supplies of them, which
would indicate the probability of their
being worn straight UP to winter.
Only plain taffetas are used. and the
colors are the same strange puppies,
blues and green's that appeared at the
beginning Of the season.

ragged edge of a damp cloud for
the past two weeks, contemplating
the result in the event of the
non-arrival of the S. G. Wilder,
with our cut glass ware and
other articles which we had
selected for the holiday trade.
Yesterday the tension on our
nervous system relaxed; the Will
der arrived and twenty-four
hours after this goes into print,
we will have display of fine
goods on our counters, such as
never was seen here before.
The additional space required
has been obtained by doubling
up on our show counters, making
new ones and changing around
some of the old ones OH the
second floor. We're ready for
business and the number of
sales of holiday goods we have
made during the past three
weeks >constrains us to believe
that the business is ready for us.
BY the Wilder we have all
kinds of things suitable for
Christmas gifts. Many-of them
are in cut glass, and they COM
