slenderly built maid. With the solder
weather button boots will replace all
demand for CATERS and low shoes, par
ticularIy among those women who pride
themselves on the dainty beauty of
their ankles, although such a woman
rarely permits herself to wear low
sLoe.
A peep into a fashionable milliner's
at her opening the early part Of the
week made one wonder how long a
time would elapse before the fearheTy
| trt55 would be extinct. For the
autumn millinery seems to be made UP
of an irldisscr'ba bic number of birds,
wings and feathers, and put on in such
a way that the effect is, 20 say the
/ least, top heavy in the extreme.
A tan willowy girl with an abund-
ance Of magnificent auburn hair and
a. faultlessly clear complexion stood be-
fore a mirror trying on a arg Aat -
Quaker colors of gray and black. but
! the colors were tine only subdued thing
about it. The shape itself was large
and dashing with a crown made Of
! quilting of broad pale gray taffeta
ribbon edged in black. The br.m was
broad and straight in front but fiared
up abruptly in the back where 1t was
caught by a bunch of creamy crush
roses sha ding into a pale gray. At one
side of the front was a huge gray and
black bird.
The Russian turban is considered
very chic this fail. One seen recently
was of green velvet of emerald hue
trimmed with gray fur. 1t was caught
up jauntily in front and held in place
by rhine stone buckle and feathery
green aigrette.
Black hats. made of velvet and
braided with black feathers and birds
of Paradise tails, are among the sweet
est things.
In dress goods there is wonderful
variety of materials. Tt is Impossible
to say whether rough effects or smooth
goods will predominant. There is a
noticeable alteration in the coOoTs in
vogue, although there is a. wide enough
range to satisfy all tastes. French
brcadcloths are very popular; a shade
that is much admired IS tine panI laisl
cloth green The new blue also blds
fair to be very popular Plaid will be
used for entire suits. The coloT5 are
vivid but exqu.sstely blended and ex-
coed adj previous years in the beauty
of their coloring.
In taffeta silks there are many hand
some designs, and In coloring are rare
ly beautiful, but of darker shades than
formerly.
For evening gowns the fashionable
material will be satin, and the color
beautiful rose.
The fall and winter wraps are ex-
tremely handsome. Jackets are more
fashionable than ever. A beautiful one
seen recently and bought by one OF
the autumn brides was Of light tan
Melton cloth 1t fitted the figure snug
w. both back and front. The sleeves
were close fitting from the wrist to the
elbow, from where they suddenly
branched into a large puff. The collar
was large and of a delicate shade OF
fur. which stood up quite to the cop or
the ears. It was lined throughout with
a changeable pink and tan tafteta SILK.
Rough effects are noticed, but Will
not be as popular for jackets as smooth
cloths Capes will also be worn. A
handsome one on exhibition was Of the
new shade of green velvet, trimmed IN
lace and jet. A huge muff went With
it. also of velvet, trimmed deliberately
in lace, smothered in roses and violets.
In fancy work there is no radical
change Flower pieces in every posi-
BILE design are seen. Strawberry pieces
are much liked and are very effective
when finished. Persian eTnDroluery Is
something new and novel The designs
are much liked for sofa pillows and
table covers.
Handkerchiefs are always much the
same. Pure white is always considered
in better taste than colors, although
there are some displayed in the shops
of a material that resembles grass
cloth, and has narrow satin stripes
running through it. They would be
more appropriate for fronts in dainty
summer gowns than to be used as hand
kerchiefS.
Ribbons are unusually lovely. The
colors are new, as are also the designs.
Taffetas are the favorites. In colors
they are brilliant, but are toned down
at the edges with narrow black bands.
The newest pocket books and card
cases are made of a new material called
sea elephant leather II is rough and
in color soft rich brown. They are
mounted in gold-washed corner pieces.
The very latest thing in umbrellas
has f1attened. mother-of pearl or
burnt ivory handle, with a silver fila
gree covering. A woman should always
be particular about the appearance of
her umbrella This should be one of
the most important of her accessories.
Nothing so mars the trim tailor-made
girls look as a badly rolled umbrella
