SEVERELY SIMPLE.
Tailor Gowns This Winter Are to he
Very Plain.
From HarpPr's Bazar.

FROM harper 3 BeZar
The tailor gowns that are shown In the
autumn are always on the severely simple
order. and this year there is no deviation
from this rule. But the gowns are exceed
ingly smart and there are three or four
different styles to choose from so that every
one ought to be able to find someth!n-; b..
coming among them. There are three or
four different styles of skirts-the one that
was worn last winter and this summer
with the shaped founce and apron front:
then there is the one with the front breadth
very narrow at the top and faring at the
foot with flounce a the side and back
There are also a plain gored skirt and the
circular or bell skirt. One of the prettieSt
new skirts is a bell skirt with seam
down the front. This is especially good in
the rough Cheviots that are SO attractive
for autumn wear-and the first tailor
gowns that are made are almost always of
these rough CheviOts. This season they
are to be made with a three-quarter-length
coat. double breasted and with side pieces
or like mans cutaway coat. quite long IN
the back. and cut so as to show the waist

a narrow turned-down collar of velvet or
silk, but are. with the exception of the col

of coat that is quite short in the back and
has long square tabs In front. a belt at the
back fastening under these tabs.

Many of the novelty goods have two or

course novelty goods are not used in tailor

For bed rooms the simple desks are the
best, made of the same wood as the rest of
the furniture: these do not have MANY
temporary use in guest rooms. They are
very inexpensive, some being sold for 80
little as two dollars and a half and tbrae
dollars, rather in contrast to those Of ma
hogany or marquetry, for which hundreds

The Model skirt.
From the Philadelphia Times.


1t seems to be foregone conclusion that
the model skirt is to fit absolutely glove
like about the hips. defining the figure in
an astonishing manner, and widening out
at the bottom. The fiounce has seen its
best days, although much worn just at
present and the dressmakers advise fat
trimmings that do not destroy the contour
of the figure. Em5roideries and novel
braidings will be much used. The panel
skirt will be chosen by those who wish
something distinctive. The panel is usually
the front breadth, narrow at the top and
widening out toward the hem.
Among the new methods FOR achieving
the flare at the bottom is plating the low .r
fullness separately around the bottom of
the upper skirt. The effect of one skirt
draped above another SO as to show the un-
der one only in part by raising 1t an inch
or two all round. and at one side raising
the drapery after the Greek manner or
opening the sides to show the under petit
coat. are all charming models, which show
off two distinct shades of one fabric ad-
nIirably, the under peticoat always being
of the lighter shade.
Polonaise motifs will abound in trim
mings, and enter into separte parts of a
skirt by the addition of a contrasting ma
terial to the polonaise forming the length
and fullness Of the drapcry. There g no
good reason why the old style of double
skirt should not appear later, since the way
has been so well paved by 1t, unless the
slenderness now required for the upper
part of the figure remains as fixed as it
now is

Radical Change In Canes.
From Art de la Modes.


The most radical change this season in
all the array Of fashionable garments has
been made In the contour and general style
OF capes- The most approved models arc
longer than any We have worn for years,
and the shawl shapes and other effects ara
wholly new, and in most instances very
odd and striking. One model is formed TX,
an open-fronted circular Of threp-quartsr
length, the lower dip Of the cape in INA
back coming well over the leenEth Of tF
dress. To the entire edge Of This Capr Is
added circular hounce. very wide at the
back and graduating up to merely two or
three inches as Il ncars the throat. Anoth-
er somewhat shorter style, but entirely
covering the lowest curve Of the hips is
very much cut away on the fronts reveals
ing nearly all Of the dressy front of The
bodice of the gown made en suite The en-
tire edge Of this cape is cut in deep scallops
which are bordered with either silk gimp
or line Of narrow fur. and beneath these
scallopcd edges Is set a gathered rufIle,
which is likewise graduated in width. This
huffie Is made sometimes Of silk the
color of the cape. or Of material matching
the cape. A feature OF very many OF tho
capes, coats, overskirts, redingotes and
fancy jackets this season is the curved ef-
feet given to the fronts. Some of the mod
els in coats arch directly toward the hips,
like a mans very English cutaway.

4 Curling Fluid.

From Harper's Bazar
The girl whose hair does not curl nat
urally is often sorely tried by the fact that
damp weather removes all wave or crimp
from her well-kept locks She can, If ske
wishes. lessen her troubles by preparing a
curling fluid with which she may campen
her hair before putting it up over night On
curriers' crimpinE pins.
To make the curling nuid, mix together a
half-ounce each of gum arabic and granu-
lated sugar: pour over them a cup and a
half of scaIding water. aud let them stand
until thoroughly dissolved. When cold add
one fluid ounce of alcohol I'm which have
been dissolved three grains OF sal-smmo-
MAC and three grains of bicblorIde of
mercury Stir well together, and add to
the preparation enough water TO make half

Newest Calling Cards.
e Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Styles in visiting cards for women and
men have been completely revOlutionized.
Matrons' cards are much smaller than for
nIerly, while those for young women are
not much larger than the cards used re-
Gently by the ultra fashionable man. The
correct card for men of social usage - only
a shade bigger than a wee Infants card.
Mr.. and Mrs" cards as they are called,
are about the same size as last years card
for matrons, which is smaller by an inch
than they were formerly. Roman letters. or
block type, is in vogue for men, though a
few people refuse 10 give up script. Very
thin cards are the thing again. They came
in two seasons ago, but did not find favor.
Now they are in demand again. which is
another slight evidence of the fickleness OF
fashions followers. They are cel ,alnly not
so bulky as thick ones, and this is an adj
vantage not to be treated lightly. especially
since woman has once more adopted the
pocket.
