touch they may lack.
FANCY STITCHING.
The combinations in materials grow
more numerous, instead of fewer. The
tailor-made gown has gone from sim
plicity to completely and you see gowns
Of satin cloth trimmed with silver ap-
pliqUe; and tailor-made costumes of
cashmere decorated with designs in
velvet These designs are applied free
ly to yoke and sleeves and are put upon
the skirt in panels; they are also used
for trimming the bare spaces in the
skirt where the ruff1e is put on in seal
lops
In its beauty of stitching the tailor
made gown still reigns alone and su-
preme. Stitchings are numerous and
complicated and are put on in all sorts
of ways. Stitching has become a pro-
! fesSion, or rather a regular occupation.
and there are seamstresses who devote
all their time to it. The handsomest
! tailor gowns are given into their hands
and, with careful fingers, they guide
the machine along the outlines of the
seams in a way that marks the tailor
made dress and gives it a distinction of
its own.
Nor are the seams the only parts that
are stitched. The tailor made dresses
are decorated along the hem with hand
| some flowers in stitched designs. The
most expert Stitchers use the natural
/ colors and the result is a border of
/ flowers in stitched design, Tong the
hem of the skirt, and upon the waist.

other fancy stitch. A rapid stitcher vii

neat.

jet steel and gun metal as yolles. En-

in such way, as to cover the yoke
completely. This is worn over a dress
of thin substance, even over tulle and
other tranSDarencieS, and thus the ar
NOR becomes a part of the transparent
waist.
THE SINGLE ROSE.
The single rose has appeared as
fashionable trimming. Many are the
hats of tan colored and corn colored
straw and of straw in its natural shades
that are trimmed with tulle, put around
the crown in the form of a big soft
roll that completely hides the crown.
At one side there is a big nodding rose
of pink or red or white standing high
upon its stalk with a leaf or two.
The rose is used upon the back of the
stock and it is also seen upon the belt
and on the parasol. Four large hand
some roses of silk or velvet are used
for this purpose and often you will
find them scented with a powder which
is concealed in their stalk
Large bows of new ribbon are used
in connection with these roses. The
ribbon is of satin brocaded with velvet
flowers in their natural colorS. In silk
ribbons you see flowers of cashmere
set in and very natural they look with
their dull hues; all ribbons gre elabor-
ately brocaded and there are few ma
terials that are not mingled in with the
silk and satin groundwork of the rib
bon.
A LACE NOVELTY.
Another novelty of the Geason is the
lace braid which is used for trimming
many waists. 1t looks like lace, but
is much coarser and is generally in the
form of an insertion 1t comes in cot
ton and silk of all colors. 1t is of re-
naisla ice pattern and is used for sew
ing upon the waist between rows of
tucks. This lace braid reminds you. in
some patterns, little of the old-fash-
toned torchOn which in its day enjoyed
such popularity.
Among the transparent materials
that are new this season is a crash so
coarse that the lining is visible.
Threads of the crash are drawn and
ribbons run through In ttlis way
neat shirring is made for the yoke.
Ecru colored crash, over lining of
pink is very pretty, especially when
worn with a sash and stock of pink
and an eeru hat with nodding pink
rose.
The functions of pink have been in
creased this season by the many new
shades. Many of these have familiar
names. like the Lawson pink of a
couple of seasons ago. The Dewey pink
is very pale pink, while the Empire
pink is rather deep. Brunettes can as
pire to all these shades, unless it be the |
deepest of them, but the blonde must |
be careful. 1t takes very little to make |
fair complexion muddy by the side of !
ripe pink. Better choose the fair |
shades, even though they fade little |
during the summer.
The plain colors will not rule this !
fall; it is to be a brocade season; and |
