The summer that Is about closing de-

The woman in white was never pref

is introduced N a rough mixed cheviot
in the form of white bTistly hairs. which

some Of them are plaid with gray satin
stripes. Black MORE watered silks are
all very fashionable for this fall. In ev-
cry instance black is a favorite. But
many coiors are shown in green. blue and
heliotrope, and other colors.
Gowns Of embroidered gaaze are novel
ties this season. One particular gown is
noticeable. The material is of black

A blue and white sllk-real China blue

The sleeves are tight-htting and shirred
the entire length, while over the top are
rufies of the silk. edged with the narrow
fringe. With this costume a hat OF
autumn leaves with a stiff aigrette of
lace, gives touch that is very attractive.
Taffata silk waists worn with xrb u-ooI
skirts are very popular and effective. They
are much more striking than the ordinary
shirt waist although they are made with
out trimming, except TO have narrow tucks
laid In clusters from the shoulders TO the
bust, and tucked sleeves, which are feat

bear the mark of being made to order. so
