in the spring, reaching nearly or quite to the bottom of the gown. Sometimes they are draped sometimes left to hang square and slashed. When em- ployed, they carry most of the trim ming, the underskirt being finished in a majority of cases with a plain hem. Short Louise Quinze jackets are fight ing for the place of the Eton and the bolero. Basques are made with belts almost universally. The Russian blouse remains the best-liked fancy bodice, and of bodices in general it may be said that the more unexpected their effects the more successful they are considered. The one-sided arrange ment, with the seam upon the left shoulder, bids fair to last another sea- son.
 A trim walking dress noticed on crowded corner recently was of maple green faced cloth, with tunic skirt crossed with three sets of tueks set at equal intervals from the waist down. The bodice was tight1ftting and the long sleeves were of silk matching the skirt in shade. Winglike bretelles in accordion-plaited mousseline de soie run with thread of gold. were the principal decoration.

 A handsome silver blue gown was not many steps behind. It's material was soft finished corded silk, little heavier than taffeta but not so glossy. It was made with long overskirt, edged with heavy silver and black embroidery and draped to show on one side an aeeordion-plaited underskirt. The bodice displayed rows of puffs crossed from side to side by sets of nar- row black velvet ribbon.
 At an out-of-door tea served at Staten Island country house recently a quaint but successful dress was of a beautifulopal gray cloth of light weight and soft texture. The skirt was GOV

cred to the waist with narrow ruff1es. On one side it showed a broad lace panel Pale pink accordion-plaited which was partly hidden under short ruffled cape of the skirt material. A large gray felt hat was worn. It had rolling brim and was trimmed with pink roses and gray feathers.
 There figured en the same occasion costume of fawn silk with plain skirt and short sack coat, made with box plaits in front and behind. The square yoke, Medici collar and revers were GOV cred with white satin embroidered with arabesques in gold. There were epau- lettes and little ruches in black gauge and great abundance of jet trimmings. The fine black chip hat was trimmed with cherries and brown ribbons.
 In the trousseau of September bride is included an afternoon dress of a deep currant red cloth. The skirt is plain, except for a narrow irregular design in black velvet with which it is faced up from the bottom. The bodice is novel zouave in black velvet, cut out in deep point in the back and forming cross. over belt in front, the ends of which are carried round the waist and form bows and long sash ends behind.

New York.-It is curious how sud- denly a fashion takes the town. For weeks it is in the newspapers and the shop windows; then some bright after noon between three and four o'clock one woman, the first to experiment with it, scuds nervously along Broad way. Within hals an hour every wom- an in sight is parading the same idea as serenely and unconsciously as if she had been born and brought up in 4he new collar or color or bonnet or belt which few minutes earlier was n dubious something offered but not accepted, talked about but untrieds By dinner time the novelty is am old story from the Battery to Spuyten Duyvil and is spreading into the wilds of Brooklyn.
 This was the history of the side-fare hat. Up to a given day last week it was an experiment of the milMners, boomed in print but of uncertain for tunes. When I left the house that given day rubbed my eyes. I had gone to sleep on flat brims. I walked to a world in which everything was turned up on the left side. They are of bril- liant colorings, these tilted autumn hats; some of felt and some of warm dark straws. A strong green with red tones is a favorite shade; it goes by the name of maple leaf green. Deep crimson is almost as popular and is combined with dove gray or with green. vivid corndower blue makes an emphatic note in every group of women, and when it is not next neigh Dor to white poppies 1t is aat 10 be making friends with ivy leaves and berries. The hat that is not adorned with a great "panaehe' of ostrich plumes, six or seven in a bunch, makes up for the deficiency by serving as 9 nest for paradise bird or harboring the biggest part of great gray heron. Meadow grasses in feathery sprays and twisted into wreaths are having

 Next to the side-fare, the approved shape is that which has the brim split up sharply at the back, and the cleft filed with flowers and ribbon. Smart little toques are brought out in great numbers and seem to be driving bon nets almost out of the field, At a luncheon party yesterday great "pie- ture" hat of autumn-leaf green straw was the most notable piece of head gear. It was trimmed with a long scarf Of black gauge. draped lightly in veil fashion, while sweeping over it from side to side were gray heron plumes. The brim of this hat was lined with pale pink chiffon and had knot of pink roses with dark green foliage behind.
 Among the models of a prominent importer is shown a hat of emerald green felt with a wide curving brim lined with black velvet. Dark crimson roses with foliage are fastened about the crown with loops of black velvet ribbon. At the side an antique paste buckle holds three or four long black ostrich feathers.
 In the same collection is small toque of silver gray velvet arranged in 1ront with loops and bows of cream &eolor and old rose; these are caught &wlth an ornament of diamonds and turquoise in the middle, and are sur amounted by a long full osprey of pale *yenow paradise plumes. Under the Drlm towards the back a cluster of cherries with leaves falls upon the hair.
