Autumn Styles in Paris.

ankles appear rather clumsy, it is coquettish
in appearance.
Necktie Ideas.
We are in process of varying our shirt
waist career with an endless procession
of necktie ideas, some of which are pretty
enough to be carried over into the autumn
and used as light touches on our somber
wooden frocks. For instance, numbers of
women wear high, straight stocks with their
white skirts and round the bare stock wind
twice a length of cream malines net. When
on the second winding the net is brought
back to the front, instead of fastening its
lace trimmed ends in a big bow close beneath
the chin they are brought down to a point
midway between throat and waist, there
pinned with a bright brooch and tied in a
bow. By so simple a scheme, to the plainest
SILK or muslin waist an air or sweet
ornamentation is given hard to derive by as
inexpensive means.
Another noble invention is that of pass
ing a broad satin ribbon of soft texture
twice round the high collar. When drawn to
the front it's ends are put through a small
buckle of paste jewels, and this is pushed
close to the throat, white from it tlutter I'M
confined two long scarf ends of ribbon.

of a wide winged bow of nothing more costly
than a long wisp Of white silk muslin, edged
with imitation Mecklin lace, which is moth
ing more after all than an ~incipient Bots de
Bologne scarf that has ends fluttering to the
knees.
Should the necessity spring up, as in every
woman's summer it does, for a fresh. in
expensive hat to wear picnic or garden party
ward, one should be sure to HE her to
a hat counter and purchase the toughest
brown or deep yellow or red straw she can
find, provided it has a brim to tip over the
eyes and to tilt up behind. On the inside
Of the brim three rows Of narrow self
gathering ribbon of green should be run at
intervals of an inch apart and then the out
side of brim and crown piled with fruit.
Fruit Trimmings.
Any milliner or millinery department keeps
grapes, currants, cherries and gooseberries
in sprays and clusters with their foliage on
hand, and if these, with green leaves. are
commingled and laid in a full wreath about
the crown, having a generous handful fas-
tened under the brim behind, as smart a
summers day headgear is secured as We
hear or read about. Though the fruit is so
commingled, the rule with regard to mid
season flower hats is that you confine one
species of blossom to one straw frame
Inc mOdlSn hover topper is all OF roses ana
exclusively pink, or yellow, or red, or white
roses, at that, else it is a mound Of pansies,
or, most enhancing in hat possibilities, a
Leghorn overgrown with tendrils and
clusters of honeysuckle. All these millinery
models borrow not a bit of splendor from
an inch of ribbon, a scrap Of lace or a
twinkle Of a jewel.
Field Glasses.
Among the interesting foibles of the coun-
try woman, who goes about in her auto
mobile, on her wheel, or who even from a
deep cane rocker on a wide casino balcony
watches other women achieve Amazonian
honors. is the trick Of carrying a pair Of
field glasses. A small powerful pair OF
binoculars, either single or double barreled,
is as distinctive a part of the duck or tweed
morning dress as card case and jeweled
around the waist, a small collapsable case
OF the same hangs at the side, and into the
glass, mounted as you please or can afford,
and no larger than the tiny opera glasses
some persons profess to find comfort in, fits
in the case when not in active use.
Women whip out their glasses, not only
to watch a golf game, an race,
or a brush between two boats, but to see
who is coming down the road, who bowed
from the village street. who went in at a
neighbours gate and also to show off their
glasses that maybe have exquisite mounts
and the owners initials in jewels thereon.
