coming when worn next 10 the face,
but they have been so desirable in 9TH
er ways that IL is pleasing 10 find that
even the most pronounced checks may
know a day OF happy usefulness. The
firm which so admirably demonstrated
the artistic possibilities of the black
jacket and the check skirt is a very
famous one and noted for the elegance
its cutters and filters are able 10 i'm
part TO even the simplest materials.
The coat was rather longer in the
basque than those short, rounded ones
/ have just been describing. 1t had a
collar very high i'm the back. spreading
out on the shoulders into wide, round
ed revers, leaving the jacket open on
the chest to show the checked vest be-
meath and the soft white collar and
white chemisette above. Bands Of
checked braid came down the front of
the coat from under the revers and
passed about the edge Of the garment
The collar and revers were edged with

with the checks arranged diagonally.
Among the prettiest of the prune coll

steele colors-was one of peau de sole,
the skirt trimmed from the knee down
ward with bias cut and slightly
gathered flounce. The top part of the
skirt was fitted over the figure and, i'm
accordance with the latest demands OF
fashion. was without n seam in the
back. The bodice was fitted with a
yoke of rose colored velvet, studded
with tiny gilt buttons and with two
small ruffles ornamenting the skirt just
below the waistband.
One of the new fabrics which is ex-
pected to be quite fashionable during
the coming season is "a silk covered

Copyright. 1851

Paris, Oct. 22.-It was very pleasing
for me to learn this week, after an aft
ernoon spent i'm the showrooms, that
almost all the coats of the best houses
are to be short, the redingote effect be-
ing a novelty not frequently made use
of. Very becoming to most women will
be the short, rounded jackets, to be
worn very often with a plain skirt Of a
different color. This style imparts to
most figures a grace and slimness
which are practically pleasing to the
eye. Young women find the short
basque effect especially becoming.
The new coat has many variations
OF the short, rounded effect. Some OF
them are of scarlet cloth, made with
strapped seams and much flaring
basque. Black astrakhan generally
trims the short, wide lapels, while a
half dozen large buttons ornament the
front of the jacket. With the particular
coat just described madame had a
black skirt with stitched bands OF the
cloth. Seven groups of these narrow
bands divided the length of the skirt,
each group being limited to five bands,
the lower one forming border about
the hem. The toque TO be worn with
this. was told, was of red velvet, with
astrakhan brim and black feathers. A
white tie knotted about the neck and
showing above the turned over collar
added much to the chic and dainty ap-
pearance of the costume.
Another of the short coats seen in the
showroom recommended itself by the
becomingness on the pretty Frenchwo-
man who donned IL in order to let me
better Judge OF it's merits. 1t was OF
cloth i'm the fashionable prune color and
had its seams all outlined with narrow
black silk braid. The skirt was cut so
was told. in five cores, the center one
having no seam, but with two rows OF
the braid put on at the waist and car
ried round the skirt about five inches
from the edge. The back of the coat
was tight fitting, with an inverted box
plat in the center The seams Of the
bodice were outlined with braid like the
skirt. The fronts of the bodice were cut
with round seams that ran into the
armholes, the seams being open at the
waist to allow the insertion of a belt OF
silk. clasped With a jeweled buckle. The
fronts OF the jacket were sloped from
the neck to show a vest OF cream color
ed silk The tight fitting sleeves were
trimmed with bands of braid running
down from the shoulder where they
united with the bands on the side pieces.
The high. straight collar was edged
with braid and ornamented beneath the
chin with two oval buttons.

q skirt of dark check, is one of the op-

An AUTUMN
pINING ROOM.

If one owns million or more dollars,
It is easy enough to call in the service
OF an interior decorator. and have a
house which shall be furnished like no
one else's, worse or better. according to
the money expended and the catholici-
~ Of the said decorators taste. In al
most every household now there is usu-
ally one member OF the family possess
ed OF a more or less artistic eye. With
n little care there is no reason why any
family may not have a winter dining
room decorated in style duplicated in
an eastern millionaire's, upon which a
good deal of money may have been
spent.
The dining room in question was orig
mated by a New York artist and was
seen by the millionaire one day when
calling at the artists picturesque home
on Long Island.
The millionaire had a craving for the
unique and beautiful. He Immediately
wrote out a check for the artist, en-
gaglng him to make just such a dining
room with the understanding that no
other rich man should he able to get
similar one. The millionares dining

had required no other materials than
plain, heavy wall paper, cream tinted,
and about three bushels OF gayly colored
autumn leaves and vines and quart
OF shelac varnish.
The leaves had been picked up by the
artist. his wife and the children when
they were rambling i'm the woods All
the books I'm the house had been filled
TO overfiowing with the leaves for weeks
in advance of the decoration OF the
room. OF course IL did not take long for
the leaves 10 dry. but IL took some time
TO gather enough of them. OF perfect
form and brilliant color TO satisfy the
taste OF the head Of the family.
When IL was decided that about
enough leaves had been gathered. the
artist went Off to the city and selected
a heavy. plain, cream tinted paper. The
walls and ceiling OF the dining room
were papered with this, and then be-
gan the interesting process of decora-
ton. The leaves were put on with
shellac varnish instead OF with mu-
-cilage or -paste--the small gay bits OF
vine being put on the wall TO look as
much like real vine as possible They
formed delicate tracery all over the
paper, the maple and the beech leaves
being added In aesthetic clusters TO
complete the snsays. Most ~ these
vines were the woodblne because In
shape ana color II best lent itself TO
the purposes OF decoration. In different
localities different vines will probably

often such gowns have a slight train 10
the skirt and something OF a flare TO the
hem OF the garment.
Many drectoire coats are made OF
lace. One that wfss part OF a brown
street dress was OF black chenille over
light fawn cloth. Just along the edge OF
the coat was narrow frill of crimson
velvet. Crystal buttons and bands OF
black velvet trimmed the coat. The
chenille trimming formed cuffs and a
band about the skirt.
Mentioning chenille recalls the fact
that many OF the new RULES are cover
