New York;, Oct. IL. The present
season in millinery, II notable for the
use OF feathers in eyaageration, will be
ture, that is markedly abundant,
especially in view of coming cold
weather, when usually the reign of
vantage of heavier trimmings. True
are in velvet, but not few ara deli.
oately fashioned in silk and muslin
likewise is employed largely. Abund-
the summer are repeated and in long,
and distinguished sweep, successive
roses embsllish wide briins, either
below or above. thus in many examples
emulating or euperseding the elegant
encircling of ostrich plumage or the
made furnishings of the day.
Leaves in delightful tintings or
cheerful green's, have also much show
ing and as hitherto, may be set as COW
erings ON hats or give adjournment in
rich sprays The special autumn fea.
ture in flowers is, however, that OF i'm
mense single roses spread out fatty and
attaining such size that they cover
large crowns. Twelve inches across is
by no means unusual, and they come
10 great variety of colors. no thought
inttbis respect being given to naturs's
dictates. Elegant examples are blac k
with yellow centres and these are con =
venient for eldeily women or as con-
trasts for younger aspirants. Roses in
general, are extremely fashionable and
compose perhaps nine .tentbs OF the
stocks on exhibition. Violets appar.
emily have u charmed existence and
again appear; stylish hat has an i'm.
mense cluster as the sole finish and
in lesser groupings they constitute ac-
ceptable Filings as occasion may re-
quire. The width of bonnets and hats
induces continuance Of wide arrange
ments in coitfures the back hair being
high or medium and ladies' will wei
coms a remarkable little comb seen in
the shops-the New Century hair re-
tame, BIZ means of which short hairs
at the back that have hitherto been so
vexatious, will be kept in place.
Notes on fall fashions would be want
ing il mention were not made OF gilt,
which has never before been 80 freely
used in all departments OF dress Some
new hats are made of gilt cloth pliabie
enough to yield in deft fodings. Gilt
ribbon is factor everywhere and in
narrow widths is much used as finish
on velvet ribbon. 1t is also frequently
placed in bands around crowns, forms
stylish lonpings, outlines seams on
gowns and IN connection with belt Of
like character, constitutes glitteting
substitute for the velvet band. Material
showing gilt figures, is noteworthy and
pliable fabric wholly in gilt, is dress
combination, though preferably yelled
by lace. Gilt lace Is an important intro
duction and lace having interviewer gilt
is modification, while perhaps as con-
sequence of the yellow tinges just men
toned, very yellow Lace is frequent
finish. Hats in gilt have their own
prestige, and when rIghtly-that is to
say delicately employed and with
tasteful Offset, the metal additions in
question are very effective.
Out door garments, seen likewise at
Lord & Taylor's, show that jackets in
short lengths will lead. They ccme
| in many different styles, some with
ornate revers and cuffs of pale silk or
panne velvet stitched, but the majority,
| while well finished, are less conspicu-
Gus, with fly or double breasted fronts.
| The assortments of three quarter and
long clonks are large, but better adapted
| to carriage wear than ON the street.
With long skirts, they are not easily
managed and ara not adapted to short
skirts, for which last, jackets are
altogether preferable. Capes are a
necessity, because suited to a class OF
wearers for whom Jackets are inanpro,
| pirate. A jacket worn by stout per.
son, is in extremely bad taste and il
such individual be eldery, it becomes
unspeasably objectionable. Capes have
the advantage of being easily put on oil
off, while jackets are the contrary, bu
for young, slender wearers, there is Q
iauntiness and style in the latter, which
must commend them.
MRS. NJ" In reply TO your inquiry
regarding the DR.. Deimel underwear,
it can be stated on the authority Of
prominent physicians, that it is by
gienic, because being of porous linen
it instantly absorbs and eliminates the
waste matter constantly thrown off b,
the skin, thus keeping 1t in dry
warm and healthy condition. Wool il
valuable for outer wear, but should no
be worn next the body, because it dne
not take up and carry off skin impuri
ties that are 30 fruitful cause of dis
ease.
"Dora.' Your question regardine
boas, is very pertinent at this time
because they are extremely fashionable
Tulle, chiffon or thin silk are prefer
ably finished by baby black velvet rib
bon, because giving body and contras
as we'll. Many boas are in remarkable
exaggeration and an example in whit,
tuIle, is finished at frequent interval
by loops of baby black velvet ribbon
the front ends are very long and wide
In figured chiffon edged with tulle plait
ing and respectively have five lon!
single pendants of baby black velve
ribbon finished by loops at short dis
tances. Marabout and COZ feather
combined, are a very favorite style il
boas and cog feathers only arc agar
stylish, but the new arrangements ar
fiat about the neck. Ostrich feathe
boas, however, have lost nothing ii
prestige and their rich and really in
comparable beauty will again be
feature in fall and winter dress.
"Opera Cloak" Elegant example
in opera oloaks, are in taffeta silk o
rich poplin overland by lace. eithe
white, yellowish or black aud the lead
ing shape is on the ulster order
Lengths are three-quarter or to tn
hem of the skirt. Rosalind May.
