The charm Of the new flannel shirt waist

faced flannel and wool filled satin are the

new style Is, Of course, the rolling Byron
collar.

ends f1aring out under the collars tips.

Foliage Hats.
Nearly every woman's head boasts a
new crown of autumn glory in the MILL

and yet welcome than the perfection to
which the manufacture of autumn leaves
has been brought Foliage in richly glow
ing colors has already taken first place as
decorative speciality, and the smartest
hat to wear before snow flies is shape of

of which play prominent part in the
