changes and these are not entirely novel, Tor they
spring The new basque is decidedly pretty. 1t Is
a bodice or sometimes a blouse. with odd, coquet-
fish basque pieces attached TO IT, The hip pieces
are often quite full and make pretty ripple over
the tight skirts. yet they cut in such manner
as to intensity and not diminish the appearance OF
long slerderness fashionable.
NEW SKIRT FOR The AUTUMN.
The summer skirts made for the coming month,
have often the voant forrne. but IT is far safer
f1a In nQip
the usefulness of which Is TO be carried into the
autumn. The best form OF autumn skirt has a
front panel and closes In one seam OF this the rest
OF the skirt is cut In the circular shape close over
tho hips with few slight ripples disappearing In
tho wastlino behind and rufing out about the
hem. The front panel is quite straight. and makes
at the bottom break in the lilylike rufies Of the
springtime
Tabac brown cloth makes an attractive walking
sui; for October. The front panel Of the skirt Is
embroidered with green chenille and fine black
braid and widens at the bottom 10 button over the
side breadths in two square tabs. Buttons covered
with black silk are used. Tile bodice is a blouse.
with little embroidery down the sides and mar
OF green silk. oddly shaped basque pieces
are attached to the sides. meet behind and drop
down q short sash. These are Of the CLOTH
heavily embroidered
Another model s Of bright red Cor huntsman's
pink cloth. piped with darker shade. the whole
decidedly gay. but most attractive for the country
during autumn. The front panel Of the skirt Is
untrimmed but the sides lie over It in scalops
that slope away at the bottom. and these piped
with the darker red. The front OF the bodice IL
smoothly draped. giving a princess effect and has
dark red cloth buttons each side. A jacket
makes tiny bolero In front. and is long behind
with small coat tails The red again pipes the
Jacket. Several models at different couturieres
have shown this exact idea-a princess front, with
the basque back. one is OF gray, with purple vel
vet bands In place OF the pipings and steel buckles
instead Of buttons.
THE IRREPRESSIBLE BOLERO.
The bolero appears again In the taiors' models
sometimes long in front. with points in place OF
the square tabs so modsh during the spring. Lilac
cloth makes jacket OF this sort. Bias folds Of
the cloth edge the Jacket and cross under the arms
with cloth buttons The same folds cross with two
more buttons the and the tops Of the
sleeves. The long. tight tunic is edged with the
stitched bands that cross the sides. with two
larger buttons The underskrt is full and rather
long.
A more dressy toilet Is expressed by a gown Of
bluet creponne. The elbow sleeves and upper part
Of the blouse Of white silk, arranged IN fine
box pleats. with fine line Of ecru lace In the
middle OF each peat Edging this deep yoke Is
band OF ecru guipure making points front and
back and descending In front In broad pieces TO
outline the panel on the skirt At the foot of each
lace panel Is a large chou OF purple velvet.
