ing fabrics the tucks are innumerable
and very fine. standing out like cords.
There is practically no end to the
variety of dress materials this season.
Plain cloths, diagonals, plaids and
checks, all seem to find equal favor.
The one thing necessary in order to be
in the fashion, as far as skirts are con-
cerned, is to have them tucked, f1ounc-
ed or braided, the material chosen be-
ing less important.
Prominent among the features for
this coming season is the box pleat,
which has returned to popular favor,
and since fashion never does things
half way, we are to have box pleats
galore, on both bodiceS and skirts. The
present fancy is to have the pleat down
the front of skirt and bodice alike, it
being Widened at the neck and feet and
diminishing at the waist Small but
tons are largely used as additional
trimmings this fall and are sometimes
employed to fasten the box pleat all
the way down from top to bottom. Oc-
casionally, also, they are put on in
groups at the waist or bust.
In color combinations, which will be
unusually striking this year, red and
black take first place. The best liked
arrangement of this sort is red wooden
goods trimmed with black Astrakan,
which I might mention incidentally.

it is the craze for braid trimmings.
Everything that is susceptible to that
treatment-and some things which
would seem not to be as well-has ar

lines of braid thereon, generally in a
rather strongly contrasting color, bur

arranged horizontally, vertically, diago-

every way that the mind Of woman can
conceive, and really, it is wonderful
how much it adds to the effect Of a
plain material.
Tucks, too, are much liked, and will
be seen both on street and evening
gowns For the heavier goods, the
tucks are rather large, and sometimes
the upper tucks OF skirt so treated
will be diagonal, higher on the left side
than on the other. This gives the effect
of a drapery and has the advantage OF
being new Sleeves are treated in the
same manner, but straight. When this

with black or gray fur will also be
seen, though less conspicuously. Green
and blue is a combination that is now
rather out of date, and is only to be
seen occasionally in a plaid or so.
Hunters green is also little past its
prime, but will be worn to some extent.
In a plain color, gray seems to be
prime favorite, especially gray cloth
trimmed with soft fur of the same
shade or decorated with black braid.
Gray toilettes are quite feecy with
feathers, between the hat piled with
plumes and the boa at the neck. The
special feature in boas this season is
to have them short and thick, instead
Of long as heretofore, and to have them
dyed to match the costume instead
Of in black. Since the colors for street
costumes incline to grays and tans,
boas in these shades will be much in
evidence.
A new and excellent idea for the fall
capes is to have them arranged with
