O0OAS 0nA o0rASaAs fer
Winter.

Silk Innings arc always to be pre-
ferred to cotton ones, if the expense l.
justified by the circumstances Of the
wearer.
Furs promise to be very much worn
when the winter really sets In. The
fancy furs In gray and brown will be
preferred.
Belted coats are always becoming to
long-waisted women; those made with
revers and flaring collars will be much
worn this season.
Smooth-faced cloth Of blue, black.
brown and invisible green will be much
used for street and visiting gowns dur
ing the coming winter.
Women with sallow compilations do
not look we'll in cherry, but can wear q
deep red like cardinal or the yellowish
red which is known as asbouse.
All wool taffeta is a light weight,
smoothly woven 40-inch goods suitable
for ladies' blouses and wrappers, chill
dre1's frocks, infants wear and dress
ing sacques. 1t is dollar and dollar
and twenty-five cents yard.
An infants short clothes do not dif-
fer materially from the long ones first
prepared except that the skirts are
shorter and the waists larger; use tho
same material for dresses-nainsook,
India linen, cambria. dimity and lawn.
Skirt bindings are on the same lines
and put on as usual; if you baste yours
carefully and sufficiently they will not
wrinkle. AVelveteen binding should be
left an eighth of an inch below the edge
of the petticoat. thus protecting it in
reality.
a long-waisted appearance may be
given by a slightly pointed front and
round back with silk folds around the
lower edge; have a narrow vest covered
with heavy lace, and finish off the skirt
with two ruffles of black silk similar in
the belt folds.
Stock collars are very pretty when
made with band of the silk cut bias,
and two pieces about sixteen by four
inches fastened at the back and brought
in narrow folds to the front. where they
are tied in short. square bow. These
pieces are bias, hemmed, and with
pointed ends.
winter cloak for young child for
second best may be made of light blue
eiderdown flannel, which washes well
and costs about 30 cents yard. Make
with yoke and cape, edging the Ia fter
with scant frill of white lace. For a
cold climate have a mob cap or flannel
lined with the silk. edged with narrow
lace, finished with a rosette on top,
and strings of narrow ribbon.
Evening wraps should certainly be
made in the form of cape for con-
venience sake. Plush is always pretty,
warm, and not expensive, as it is not so
much used as it was some years ago.
Remarkably neat long or half-long
capes may be made of blue, green. gray
| or golden-brown plush lined with Il
light shade of the same goods or with
quilted silk or sateen. An interlining
of soft crinoiine keeps the outside
goods in shape.
Black dress goods suitable for any
and all occasions are whipcord, serge.

Of these are recommended for coolness.
