NSw Notions That Are Popular
with the Ladies' This
Fall.

Fall.
Long coats reaching to the knees,
with large hoods, are made of satin and
trimmed with stitched bands of CLOTH
in patterns. They make beautiful
wraps for elderly women. A long CIR
cular wrap of black cloth is outlined
with fold of white silk braid, and has
a simulated yoke made of rows of fold
ed braid stitched closely together.
Some of the sleeves to the gowns With
the sheathed skirts are so snug tERt
they button from the wrist nearly to
the elbow.
Wine color is much talked of for fall
and winter use. With the velvet hats,
birds or flowers of a peculiar light
shade of red are seen. Occasionally a
dark wine-colored felt hat appears
trimmed with velvet of the same shade
and the wine color appears as trimming
for some of the outing hats. The big
and broad turbans of fur and feathers
are much seen, and are large andssolid
looking. The fur or the feathers go
around the sides, the middle being of
velvet. Whole birds are seen onfhese
hats, and gorgeous parrot makes
conspicuous toque. Some English girls
are wearing becoming hats I.-p...e
blue felt, which set off their
bright compilations delightfully."-, as
they are intensified with black
trimmings. A hat made for an
American has the rim of black velvet
soft, pale blue felt crown, striped with
black velvet and a black bird at the
side.
Tiny little cut steel or other fancy
buckles are among the touches which
differentiate in neckwear, in which
there is so little change that it can hard
~ be mentioned. There are the same
high stocks pointed in different ways as
heretofore, and occasionally one sees
the highness at the back cut in square
instead of iSpoints.

with your favorite flower is the latest
fad.

designs with gold braid and colored
silks is used effectively for yoke and

made quite plain without any seam.
For practical autumn uses there is
now great demand for fabric gloves of
suede-fnished cashmere in black, dark
gray, and all the varying shades of tan
and russell The stitching is in tiny
silk points. Eight-button mousque-
taire evening gloves have backs stitched
in their own color, contrasts being
avoided. Dogsl1in giants in gray or
reddish brown, stitched in a darker
shade of silk, and fastened with four
large buttons, are still used for trav-
cling and shopping. Four-button
black suede gloves are fancy stitched in
white, but the best make have the finger
seams stitched in black.
Many toques and turbans are ,devel-
oped in cloth to match the gown The
cloth-covered Spanish turban is much
in evidence, the cloth, as rule, match
ing the gown, though they are found
ready-made in tan and gray, both felt
and broadcloth.
The fashionable bonnet shapes are
smaller than they have been for several
seasons, and the prospect is that they
will be more generally worn than has
been the case for some time. Some of
them have very pretty well defined
crowns and decided wilderness across the
front. The directoire bonnets, which
are revived this season, are suitable for
women of all ages, with their wide,
faring brims very much upturned in
front.
Crowns of velvet and felt hats are evil
IDENTIFY to be taller than we have had
them for many a long day. Louis Phil
ippe hats of velvet with rather broad,
limp brims and sugar loaf crowns are
popular and the velvet on the crown is
often puckered in close-set perpendic-
ular tucks and decorated with two full
long plumes fastened by handsome
brooch a trifle to the left Another
modish form has its brim bent to a
loop in front, the tall crown belted with
four narrow velvet folds, and at the base
of the two plumes a knot of velvet, with
Roman buckle of jewels is fastened
