who are worried ABOUT the size or their
waist lines are consulting their corset
ieres and everything possible is being
done to make the waist seem smaller.
Yet it is a thankless task, this reduc-
ing Of adipose tissue, unless the tissue
itself be actually removed; otherwise
it will bulge out at unwanted places,
and the woman will remain as fat as

| In the other styles of coats there are
the neat little jackets that fit tightly
al around except just in the middle
Of the front, where they hang straight.
This straight line is so very becoming
to a tall figure. Then there is the Eng
liSh coat, which is as tight-fitting as
bodice and has many pockets. These
pockets are stitched like the seams and
are very decorative. You can scarcely
| have too many of them upon the Eng
hsh coat; a complement of six is not
too many. They are al in, evidence
none are hidden. 3 iN'f7sl |

There are many of these satin cloths,

maroon or any of the shades of deep
red, is embroidered in Grecian design
upon the back
The embroidery extends up the mid
die of the back and is broad near the
t-i.tom Of the cape. The edge of the
capo is net finished but is scalloped
with a scalloping iron. Below this
there comes a little fall of white lace;
and underneath the lace there is
ruching of white chiffon. Underneath
this ruohing of white chiffon is another

a deep fall of black lace. This makes a

The fall of the year has come; and,
with the change of the season, as usual,
have come new creations not only in
sdress, but in the little things which
are essential to the we'll groomed wo-
man.
or a number of seasons we have
bought our umbrellas and have been
confronted with miscellaneous assort-
ment of handles. There has not, until
now, been any special design in the
umbrella handle, but now there is
revival of the old carved wood and
ivory handles.
In the shops are to be seen handles
ornemented with the head of bird,
and the work is SO fine on some of the
expensive handles that one who knows
his country's birds fairly we'll will rec
1cgnize the pheasant, the wild duck and
even the little ruffled grouse with its
boa CT finely carved feathers.
One of the most expensive pieces of
work is the head of tiger. The ivory
is old, and the yellow tint adds a touch
OF reality to the handle. The eyes are
two emeralds, which are sunk into the
ivory, and the work is so exquisitely
done that even the pupils Of the eyes
have not been omitted. When the ura-
brela handle catches a ray of sun or
light, the tiny pieces of jet which con-
stitute the pupils fash in unison with
the emeralds.
Another odd creation is a gold SER
pent; it is coiled in the shape Of
ring, each scale being clearly outlined.
The head of the serpent is fiat and lies
on the stick just below the coil made
by the body. The tongue, with its tiny
fork. isextended but not far enough
to be in danger of catching on lace or
chiffon. The eyes are made of emeralds
and to the delight of the detail-loving
person-the end of the tail is possessed
OLA tiny rattle.
A gay, yet not expensive handle, is
one of silver with a blue enameled
birds head The bill Is of silver, the
tip touched. true to life. with the small
est dot Of yellow enamel; and the eyes
are of jet.
The ivory carver and the silversmfth
have not forgotten the new shades to
be worn by my lady this winter. He
has kindly provided a number of de-
signs in ivory which come very near
| to the shade Of the natural broadeloth
coats.
