wrought of the palest colors, in quaint
overlapping, palm-leaf designs. The en-
pire shade is another new design. This
is made of soft-tinted China silk painted
with medallions of Napoleon's head, of
Josephne's, of Maria Louisas and with
the Bonaparte crest each one surround
ed by laurel wreath. An odd shape is
seen in still another shade. 1t looks
much like an enormous poke-bonnet of
shirred silk, the scoop projecting to throw
the light where it is needed in one spot
while the correspondingly short opposite
side leaves a shadow. The light and
shade may of course, be varied, as is
wished, by the turning about of the metal
frame underneath.

Tailor-made suits, says a Paris letter in
the Cincinnati Enquirer, will be in high
vogue for fall and winter wear. Among
the goods shown are plain covert English

two tones, also in delicate tone effect and
Venetian cloth in a variety of shades. The
skirt of the up-to-date taiIor-made gowns
is cut in the latest and most graceful
shape hanging straight at the sides and
front, but falling in deep folds at the back.
The Russian blouse will be a favorite
form for the bodice. Some of these are
made with two rows of braiding from the
neck to the waist, crossed by horizontal
lines of braiding, fastening with barrel
buttons. The bodice slightly overhangs

and black velvet collars give a FINISHING
touch.
