From Harper's Bazaar
Machine stitching is another fad that was
started last winter, did not make much
Roadway, came in again on some Of the
smartest gowns this spring and will be
greatly used on all materials this winter.
One model gown has the rows of white ma
chine stitching in clusters of five W tn
spaces between. 1t is a dark blue ca 81
mere or lightweight cloth, and is extreme
ly effective. The only other trimming of
the gown is black velvet ribbon bows edged
with white silk fringe. These little bows
fasten the front of the waist and the neck
of the gown 1t is very odd in the new
gowns, to notice that while some of them
are constructed so as not to show where they
are to be fastened, others have a fastening
most prominent. AT a recent wedding a
white lace gown was buttoned from the
throat to the belt with turquoise buttons
surrounded with diamonds. Some of the
new gowns are noticeable for their buttons.
1t is not fashionable to use too larse .ut-
tons; those used should be noticeable for
their beauty rather than for their size The
little velvet bows used for fastening waists
and skirts are almost invariably caught
down with jeweled or plain buckle.

Dress Allowances of Royalty.

People sometimes wonder what sum is
put aside for dress by the daughters of
royal houses. An enterprising fashion
writer tells us that before her marriage the
Duchess of Fife had very small dress al
lowance-about $3.50 year. Besides
yachting and everyday dresses and all the
usual costumes required by girl of the
upper class, royal princesses have also to
wear the costly and elaborate dresses which
their rank demands at the weddings of
their near relations. They are, however,
fortunate in having stores Of beautiful
laces, priceless furs and marvellous jewels,
all of which can be used again and again.
On the whole, it may be asserted that a
frugal princess may spend as little as 5000
a year on her dress, while her more wealthy
and eXtravagant sister may find her dress
bills amount to ten times that sum. Age
has nothing to do with the matter for the
Queen of Italy spends far more than does
her beautiful young daughter-in-law, the
Crown Princess of Naples The Empress of
Russia, who, more than any other Euro
pean princess is able to indulge her widest
fancies, dresses with the greatest simplici-
ty. In the daytime she mostly wears tailor
made coats and skirts and in the evening
favors the purest white materials.

Chic little coat and skirt costumes will
be made the most of for children's school
and church frocks this fall and the more
English the effect of the outfit the more
fashionable. The skirts will be gored to
flare at the bottom and may be plain, tunic
or showing the double skirt or shaped
founce. However, the plain gored skirt,
being exceedingly simple, will be most at
tractive for school dresses. The coat VIII
match the skirt, but the material chosen
should be such that the coat may be worn
with different skirts when desired.
Plain colors will be much worn, although
paid skirts with plain jackets, matching
the prevailing tints in the skirt, will be
frequently seen. Velvet and velveteen will
be a material much used for coats and
skirts this winter-either appearing in both
or being used for the jacket alone-With
plaid or striped skirts. A dark brown vel
vet costume, worn with pointed lace col
lar on warm days and a short boa of sable
and sable muff in cold weather, makes
handsome frock for a schoolgirl, If simply
made.
Serges, camefs hair and lightweight
cloths will also be extensively used. and
one can imagine nothing more chic than a
red serge made with double skirt. the bot
tom of each skirt stitched, and blouse
Jacket with stitched revers.

with the man of good taste one finds the

preference a small ribbed a tiny dia-

Inc short capes known as golf canes are

these capeS are in three-quarter length

Just inside the fronts of the CAPE were

For Coaching PARTIES
Coaching parties have not lost their
vogue IN England, in spite of the popular
lily OF the automobile in Paris. A coach
ing garment that has just been sent across
the channel may interest some of my
American readers with whom coaching Is
sun beloved sport. 1t was made of fine
sevres blue cloth. with bolero and high
collar of lace. Hand painted buttons adorned
the bodice front, while the skirt was trim
med with fashionable incrustations of braid
with the gown was sent a hat with q
Trilled brm and broad crown, the former
trimmed with rows of braid and the latter
With roses.
Those women who are lingering late a;
ne watering places l am told, have dis
tarded their sailor hats, and for morning
wear have donned the light gray sombrero.
The smartest of the sombreros is made OF
pale pearl gray felt with wide, slightly
curved brim. narrow band of gray ribbon
trimming the crown and another band
binding the rim. With it Is worn a white
ven tied in a jaunty bow at the back. Not
every woman looks well in these hats
There is a secret of donning and denting
them to that degree of smartness that the
fashionable French woman demands in all
her accessories of dress. The very chic
woman seems to be inclined to fatten the
crown very much toward the front while
she wears the hat well tilted over her
eyes. CATHERINE TALBOT

silk stitching which prevents their spread
ing too much. The plaits themselves prevent
the folds girting at the saddle.
Another handsome gown made for royal
ty to wear this fall is of black satin fin
ished with white. 1t is trimmed with lace
and insertion and is intended for dinner
wear or for some of those numerous public
functions such the opening of baZaars
the laying of corner stones, for which
those who stand near the throne are so
constantly in demand. The front of the
gown is cut with a separate vest of black
and white satin, with insertions set in be-
tween the tucks. 1t is gathered at the
neck to fit the collar, to which it is attach
ed, and to the waist in point. The rever
collar of muslin is trimmed with frlis of
itself and finished with edges and inser
tons of lace coming down at the front of
the bodice over the vest in a point. The
back of the bodice is tight-ftting, being
fulled little at the waist The sleeves are

This battle has waged pretty strong OF
late and neither side has come off Victo-
rious. Young girls with pretty threats
have allowed them to be seen, and have
worn transpar,.-. yokes and narrow lace
lappetings or simple frills of lace with
pearls above. But not all the pearl fisher
les in the world could have supplied real
pearls sufficient for the necklaces to be
seen in America alone. At the table d'hotes
abroad additions are made of white lace
md muslin revers and deep capes in the
rear accompanying high collars, which
rise above them. These collars, at the
back. are assuming a new guise; they are
not so wide. nor are they set up so closely
nto the nape of the neck as of yore; on
the contrary, they stand outward at right
angles to the throat which is quite diff
ferent idea to the fashions the Medci set.
1t is always advisable to introduce fine
millinery wire at the edge. or they are apt
to become flabby: black chiffon is very i'm
portant. Gathered into small ruches, it
outlines many OF the white collars, while
tufts and rosettes give additional smart

1t is whispered among the dressmakerr
shops that we are about to witness re-
vival Of Louis Seize, style that ought to
be eminently becoming for most with Its
Powered brocades and ruffles.
The long coats which have come in for
children will fill long-felt want Of moth
ers of little girls. The long coat is warmer
and more serviceable than the short jacket
style of wrap. Under it a gown of unfash-
ionable cut and somewhat worn may be
quite hidden from observant eyes in case
of an emergency. With the long coat and
a pretty hat any child is well dressed. The
coats may be made in fawn, drab and any
of the fashionable shades and trimmed
with revers and cuffs of astrakhan, velvet
o" fur.
A very stylish wrap for driving or other
outdoor wear is made with a series of
capes. The cape fits close to the shoulders
and is buttoned by means of two wide tabs
across the bust and finished around the
neck by high circular collar covered with
rows of stitching. Under the cape a long,
straight coat reaches almost to the hem OF
the skirt.
An indispensable auxiliary to the modern
womans dress is the useful reticule. Many
of these are modelled on the patterns of
those popular with the bellies of hundred
years more ago. Most of them are
smaller than the original patterns, but they
in other ways carry out the old-fashioned
idea. Some of the quainteSt of them are
of satin or brocade drawn together by IA silk
cord or a ribbon, and, by this, the bag Is
slTng over the wrist. Some very fashion
able women have these bags Of material
to match the gown with which they are to
be carried.
Gufpure Fronts and Collars.
Guipure collars are being much worn
They give an elegant finish Ito the most
severe costume. hence their popularity
Ornamental fronts are liked with tailor
made gowns. some Sof them being of satin
trimmed with little cascades of lace.
Peau de suede cloth is one of the new
fabrics for autumn wear adapted for the
making of cloaks and evening wraps. The
new long cloaks, such as those worn by
Florentine officers. are most often made OF
it, These cloaks are not unlike the Amer
can Quaker or Shaker cloaks, but are
clasped at the throat with the frivolity of
shining buckle. Another of the new cloaks
in which peau de suede appears to advan-
tage is a form of the old dolman, the

There is a novel and effective way of
treating lace that is as yet only employed
by foreign houses noted for the originality
of their creations. The new idea is to ap-
ply fur velvet to the heavier laces. For
lace to be employed on outdoor garments
the following method is employed. For
instance, on a long, loose redingote made
of all-over Luxeuil lace of a heavy self
colored corded silk, this was done A por-
ton of the design was covered with vel
vet cut out to the exact shape of the
leaves or flowers and fixed by means of
buttonhole stitch in thick silk of the
same color. 1t was not always the same
portion of the figure that was covered.
A still more costly method of treatment
Is to apply tiny bits of golden seal. brown
seal or beaver or, if possible, fine sable.

For Men to Wear.

There is little change to record in the
fashioning of evening clothes for the pres

and should be made in a soft vicuna with

slightly rough woven. The conventional
accompaniment is of course. the white
