New York, Oct. 1s.-The distinctive
nete Of the current fashions is still slim
ness, and. as this is so. ! am. after de-
ssribing a few of the lovely gowns I
6sve seen this week. going to indite a
lecture to the tall and slight. 1t seems
= me that their name is legion and
mat they are making many mistakes
in their enthusiasm for the new styles.
First. however. as to the gowns l nave
seen.
There is no doubt but that we are TO
have double skirts next winter. They
are with US ever now as this reception
toilet will prove. and I could describe
Others of the same vogue. The material
of this exquisite gown was pervenche

this color is half way between mauve
and blue and partakes of the character
of both. TIL front of the skirt formed
an original tablier in pointed shawl
fashion. edged with a deep similar coll

Here we have. as you perceive. the

the under petticoat or skirt of a differ

used on a large majority OF the gowns,
and IL certainly gives a touch Of brill
hancy which is extremely becoming.
Another fact to be noted and remember
ed is. that your hat must match your
gown in color this season. TO be alb
solutely correct.
Here is a chic visiting toilette in the
favorite mauve. IL is of heliotrope bea-
