The worthy guinea hen makes the
most hay in the autumn sunshine. for
we now have hats. the crowns or brims
of which are made of the pretty
speckled feathers. Brims are sometimes
appropriately faced with this barnyard
plumage, and there is, by the way, a
deal of emphasis laid on the facings of
hat. Milliners have persuaded many
customers to have a narrow line or
scarlet spangles run in under the brim
and just in front, next to the hair. BY
this device, the hat-nakers say,
warm. red light is reflected on the
cheeks, Just under the eyes, thereby
greatly adding to the brilliancy of the

with turquoise blue chenille lace, and
sallow women take a dash of pale pink

are said to be actual helps to beauty.
Any woman, say the wiseacres, looks
, the better for wearing white or cream
white tulle next her face, and acting
on this suggestion every woman who
studies her appearance wears tulle
stock and a big tulle bow under her
, chin. Some of them button UP their
) black, brown or dark green cloth walk
ing coats to not only a tulle collar, but
a small tulle dicky that spreads down
below the bow. They get by this

with none of it's harshness, for in cold
weather linen is a cruel trial to the
tender flesh of feminine threats. Tulle
bows and stocks are not after all so
fragile as they sound, and not a wo-
man that wears them but adds some
thing to her looks-by their aid. The
newest ribbon collar is without a bow,
but has q jeweled clasp instead. 1t
winds twice about the neck and fastens
in, front, the two parts of the clasp be-
ing sewed to the ends of the ribbon.
The clasps are either of real jewels
and precious stones or clever and al
most as serviceable limitations.
ILLUSTRATIONS OF FASHIONS.
What some of the new overslkirts
look like is suggested in the accom-
panying pictures this week. The
gowns that are coupled together show
first a costume of rich red Nassau
cloth, having a polonaise of velvet in
a deeper tone, and the pointed front
of the polonaise overlaid with gray
Russian lace. The sleeves are also
treated with lace, while a full jabot
falls over the bust. The companion
dress is a wool bengaline in Lincoln
green, worn with redingote over
skirt of figured French fantasia. The
waist has tucked green silk sleeves and
yoke and tiny pocket of lace falling
over the lower inquired half of the
body
The braided gown is elaborated in
gray ottoman cloth, striped in mar
row and widely set figured band. and
the second picture shows a theatre
dress of moired satin upon a rosy lilac
faced cloth skirt. The satin drapery
is edged and figured with jet, and
the same scheme of decoration is re-
peated on the waist
A group of ball gown bodices is
given in the second series of pictures
Each OF these Celebrates in detail the
fact set forth above that few women
would any longer cut their gowns ac-
cording to court regulations, that is
open and unrelieved from shoulder tc
shoulder. Lace treatments are
popular and pretty and by any one OF
these sketches an old waist would not
only be renovated, but given a decided
air Of novelty. MARY DEAN.
