TRIMMINGS OF PLEATS.
Single pleats are used on another
gown, the novelty being that these
pleats rise in a peak in the centre OF
the bodice and of the skirt. There are
four OF these on the blouse, the top one
at about the bust, and two deeper ones
on the skirt, the point of the upper one

material OF this dress is gray-blue. and
each pleat is headed by line of fine

is no trimming on the sleeves: they are

Almost all chokers are snug-trig
and smart rather than elaborate in

gown may depend on the finish. at the
neck. It is probable that the cut of
these chokers is more difficult to
achieve than that of the more elabOr-
ate one. for evidently they must be
carefully shaped. Some dressy cos
TUNES have simply turnover collar
of the stuff, with bow finishing it. A
pretty choker that is in vogue again is
the double collar; the high choker is
this, while a scarf of the same silk
passes about the neck inside the collar,
and makes bow in front. A pretty
form of this choker has the silk turn
over collar cut to flare away in two
points under the chin.
THE NEW COIFFURE.
In France fashion says now that one
may wear ones hair in any style liked
except the pOmpadour: the pompadour
is out of favor now with well-dressed
women. To take it's place there are
several styles, and perhaps fashion lie
about equally divided between high
couture, with a bunch of curls over the
forehead, and q parting with the wav-
out on each side. The first style ap-
proaches that adopted so many years
ago by the princess of Wales, but the
curls are looser and more irregular,
and, it is needless to say, not kept in
place by hair net. The second style
is much the prettier, and if carried a
bit further would suggest the classical.
The curious part of this change OF
style in hair-dressing is the total dis
similarity in the two fashions in
vogue. Some women who wear the
bunch of curls on the forehead are
making an irregular parting in it q
trifle to one side; this adds q youthful
look to many faces.
AUTUMN WRAPS.
Before leaving the subject of autumn
modes a word may be said in regard to
wraps; the spring and summer wraps
have prepared US for decided change
in the form of cspes; but those of the
autumn promise to be even more radi.
cal. A smart model of black satin
faced cloth reaches half way to the
knees, and is cut tight over the shout
ders, but to flare considerably toward
the bottom. The cape suggests q Sc
ries of circles: the high collar is cut
with rounder edges, and the revers end
in round in place of q point. These
revers slope away to a rounded corner
at the bottom of the cape. There lie
some braid embroidery outlining the
seams of the wrap, and the collar and
revers are faced with black and white
silk cut on the bias.
Fashionable adjuncts to these long
wraps are the long scarfs OF lace fancy
/ net: these fasten in butterfly under
| the chin, and the trimmed ends are
as long as the garment. Some of the
autumn wraps are completed by 8
l shaped piece, too scant to be termed a
shaped ruffie, that lengthens the gar
ment and is carried up the sides.
wrap OF this sort is generally made
with shouldercape, but sufficiently
short to define the shape OF the should
ers.
For a dressy cape there is q model o
tan velvet, trimmed with ecru lace anl
an Arabian embroidery in soft shade
of green and rose. The lace and EN-
broidery finish the garment for q space
Icf ten inches, and make q pointet
yoke behind. The high collar is face
with tucked green satin, and the stol
ends are much longer than the gar
ment: these ends are finished with lac
and embroidery, and fall perhaps t.
the knees. This model is cut mucl
longer behind than in front, and
pleat is taken IN the middle of tn
back to draw it to the waistline.
TailOrs are making now smart littl
Norfolk jackets of ecru cloth: plat,
ribbon forms the belt, a scarf at tn
throat and the band of the sailor hat
A sleeveless REFER is another novelt
1Of the summer: it cut with loose
double-breasted front, wide revers an,
wings at the shoulders, but no sleeves
