1 G.3ow. -lere was a deep fuI1e or 0T1-
entail lace reaching some distance below
the waist, starting from the lace band,
and others from the elbows formed
sleeves. A rufie Of silk and lace stood
for a csAar, and there was a handsome
bow Of ribbon with long ends 1t the
throat.
For ioanging and tea gowns the sleeves
are very pretty. They are loose and in
some cases opea to the top, either draped
up in a loop or fastened together with a
series of little ribbon bows.
An empire matinee has the body Of
the garment Of rich cream colored faille,
with q rufle OF dotted net made very full
all around it, coming up in front like a
jabot. There was one row of very mar
row cardinal satin ribbon on the hem of
falling rudie Of the net, and the sleeves
the same. A ruaie was sewed OF the
front Of the matinee III the form of a
short figaro and headed like the rest,
with one line Of ribbon-yery simple, but
very effective.
There are numbers Of morning gowns
in form of the japanese kimono, with one
or two trifing differences. Instead Of the
folds around the neck there is a fiat band
Of Persian ribbon stitched on. The
sleeves reach but to the elbow and are
bell shaped. Still the rest is ~Japanesy.
For the waning days of summer there
are some handsome things. There was
a great, big pasteboard box for Miss
Daisy Pest. now in Newport. This con-
tanned the daineiest frock Of white silk
null oveY white taffeta. Around the
very edge Of the skirt was a full rufie of
lace about three inches wide, headed by a
narrow white satin piping. Above that
were two zigzag rows of white valenci-
ennes insertion matching the design in
the skirt.
The waist was a blouse, and there was a
white ribbon sash three inches wide tied
with two outstanding and two deep loops
! and long ends. There was a vandyked
yoke Of the insertion and lace. There
was the quaintest poke bonnet of white
with straw white strings tied under the
chin, and the high front was filed in with
loops of the white ribbon. Outside there
were white ribbon bows and pink roses
around the funny crown. There was a
large parasol covered with pinked u
white ~taffeta, with pink roses hand paint
ed upon it, This Is the young lady who
drives so many horses at once. There is
an indescribable air of qu%aintness about
this whole costume.
Another novel costume for Newport is
Of violet silk with zigzag ines of white.
At the bottom Is a full ruffie Of black
tulle, with a ruching at the edge of that
| of chiffon. Down the front is a wide
band of black guipure applique. edged
with very narrow chiffon ruffles. Two
other rows of applique guipure go down
the whole front each side the wide one
and then extend all around the bottom.
Both are edged both sides with the chif-
fon ruching. The belt is draped and out
lined with chiffon.
The new wooden goods for fall and
winter will surpass all others in fneness,
fr1nness and beauty of coloring. There
is in particular a line Of cheviots which
enc may call the sublimated essence of
all cheyiots ever produced. Homespun
is likely to have a good vogue, especially
for tailor gowns. Most of the jackets
for fall wear are as short as were those
Of the spring, the most notable difference
being that they are almost all double
breasted. l have seen a few with fly
fronts.
The greater part Of the made up skirts
have trimming down the front breadth,
straps of the same or contrasting col
ors in scallops, sometimes REINFORCED by
a light design in soutache. By the way,
braiding viii be very fashionable for
jackets, dresses and capes. Plush and
boucle goods will be made into handsome
eapes. The first will be richly braided
with silk soutache and jet or enbroider-
ed and bordered an around with fur
