tumes-PopuIar COIOrs for
Autumn.

Combinations of materials and colors
in one gown appear to be quite as fash
ionable as they have been for many sea-
sons past, despite the reports which
came early in the season TO the effect
that new autumn gowns were to be
formed of a single material and dye.
Blue is certainly one of the dominant
cOlors now in vogue, for il is blue, III
every tint and tone, for day or evening
wear. 1t ranges from deepest Dewey
or admiral blue, 10 the palest hyacinth
and lavender dyes. HeIiotrope and gray
are a close second for denli-dress toll
cts, and a rival in evening dress is pink
in all its lovely Cuises, from faintest
seashell shades To deepest rose, with &
glow of damask red in the dye.
Everyone knows that a tweed COS
tune is one of the most enduring and
valuable gowns that n woman can pos
sess. To some minds ii surpasses even
the renowned English serge in those
sterling qualities that are the chief at
traction TO the oman of modest means.
In spite of the usefulness of serge
fabrics, so long held up as model weaves
for general uses. a genuine all-wool
tweed is certainly a very wise selection
for hard winter wear.

hats the downy plumage droops on the
hair at each side Of the brim. An entire
black satin costume Cncluding skirt.
jacket and hat) is considered one of the
most attractive OF the autumn fashions
in dress.
The new vicunGs and French camei's
hair goods are particularly handsome
this season, and thus far some of tie
most tattractiveand stylish tailor gowns
have been made of these materials.
While very protective in quality. these
fabrics are wonderfully light. Weight
does not invariably mean warmth, and
these new goods are soft and downy

are especially handsome.
Fancy satin or cloth medallions. lat
tice and scroll designs in open-work
mohair and other silky wool braids,
chenille. bfts of fur and silk cord, all in
new appliqued effects, are very fashion
able used as a garniture FOR stylish cloth
costumes. This form of trimming is
more dressy than stitching or rows Of
braid, although these simple styles OF
garniture are in highest favor. The
medallion and arabesque form of orna-
mentation appeal more especially 10
women who are fond Of elaborate color

brilliant tones are most appropriately
worn. The new appiques impart
marked style to he gown, but they like
