This is the in between season of the
year when the new styles are merely a
conjecture but it is seldom that the
novelties or extremes of fashion are in
troduced until the height of the season.
Each season it is rumored that the
separate waist is to 60 and each season
it returns in more varied styles than
ever 1t is said that the Russian blouse
is to be one of the most popular models
this coming season; the upper part Is
very plain and blouseS slightly above
the waist line all the way around, and is
finished below the belt with narrow
circular rufiie. Russian and Persian
band embroideries will be one OF the pop
ular trimmings during the fall and win
ter.
About Gloves.
Suede gloves viii be worn for dress
occasions this fall and the standard
colors will be the same old tanS and
grays of last season. Glove novelties
though will be in old rose, lilac, hello-
trope and geranium, which is brilliant
shade of red. 1t is still too warm to
think seriously of these fall necessities,
though the careful woman is apt to
have her wardrobe thoroughly renovated
before the fall festivities begin.
Fads and Fancies.
The tight sleeve has had but a brief
existence in it's last revival. All rumorS
hint that larger sleeves are on the way,
and, already there is a distinct fulness
at the shoulder. The elbow sleeves flare
more and more and are in many cases
sIashed almost to the shoulder on the
outer side, over a full soft undersleeve.
The loose dust clOakS with their VOL
luminous sleeves have prepared the way
for larger coat sleeves, which will be
seen on the fall and winter coats.
Panne velvet is the milliner's decree
to be the most popular material Tor

metal rings are perhaps the most know
ing of these clasps; but the jewellers,
in response to the demand, are now
bringing them out in jewelled designs,
and in the antique gold work that IS a
present fad. The latter are good in
style and single cabuchon gem set
deeply in the gold and agreeing with the
color scheme of the gown adds to the
effect, but the heavily 1eWeiled clasps
are a trif1e too pronounced and rob the
crayat of distinction.
A new trimming much in use among
Paris dreSsmakers is a ScallOp OF glace

gown material by OpenWork herring
boning. This herring boning is seen also

The craze for gold trimming is de-
veloping in a most effective way through
combination with heavy lace. Boleros oil

etc. are applied upon gold tile and
finished with gold buttons or tassels-
Bands of the lace also are applied 10
bands of gold tissue and used upon
cloth or silk with excellent results.
Automobile coats for autumn wear are
shown in cranberry red cloth, heavily
strapped, severely plain, and three-quar-

coats seem destined to take the place OF
the trailing coats of last season, so far
as severe cloth coats are concerned;
