for walking. This could be carried out in
the new fall Silks with good results. VI
The autumn checks are now seen.
Some Of these are very brilliant, and in
striking contrast to those Of previous
seasons, in that they show tiny stripes OF
silk running through the goods. Fancy a
gown Of Scotch tweed in blue and green
| plaids, every third stripe being a red Silk
| one. Such a material was made INTO a
Princess tunic so cut as to be ope down
the entire front. The points of the bodice
rolled back showing a white lining. The
vest was of white taffeta with a knot; of
, the silk in front; underneath was q Sec

with Venetian lace medallions. II 81
membership was a plain one in dark
blue taffeta. Medallions in the Venetian
point trimmed the tunic.
White is now considered the smartest
lining. It soils easily, but can be readily
cleaned with chalk and other substances;
and is so neat that it really repays the
trouble. There Is this, too, about a white
lining that it matches or "goes we'll with
ALL costumes, and is therefore very eco
nonllcal from a standpoint of Dress There
is nothing more garish than a coat lining
of scarlet worn with a skirt lined with
another color, showing plainly that the
coat and skirt were not of a suit.
HARMONY OF COLOR.
In purchasing a fall outfit many French
women adopt the plan of selecting all
gowns to harmonize. Suppose they
choose navy blue and bright scarlet as
the key tones of costume. If these two
colors are selected they are careful that
everything else tat is purchased shall go
we'll with these shades. For the season
they tabboo pink, violet, and all but a
few shades of brown. They wear no pur-
pies and use little black. The blues and
the reds and the yellow browns are the
tones that are selected for all articles
from the hat to the train of the gown.
White goes with all and is freely en-
ployed.
Lovely effects are shown in the hori-
zontal trimmings. 1t is true that the ma
jority of women should not wear these;
as the side to side stripes certainly tend
to make the figure broader On the 9TH
err hand, by q judicious waist treatment,
the lines can be brought together and a
fat woman can be SO broadened on the
shoulders and so narrowed at the waist
that she is benefited by the stripes in
stead of made larger.
A certain pretty dress had a yoke, vest
and collar all of one piece with the
stripes running from shoulder to Shout
der. The material, was corn colOred cloth
with the stripes of the narrowest black
silk cording. The cords were laid close
together in groups widely separated.
Woven in the silk cord was an occasional
bead to wink at you, as the French

The skirt was laid in narrow tucks,
each tuck edged with a row of the cord
ing.
Theover-dress was in two parts, body
and tunic. The body was a simple check
cut with a curved outline, and slashed
very low upon the shoulders. It was Dor
dered with a fiat BAND of wood brown silk
with another band of silk set an Inch
back from the first one.
The tunic was cut Spanish shape, Iona
In the front and short in the back. 1,
was bordered with bandsOf the brown
silk. A curved design in the silk bands
extended down the left side, with eacf
curve terminating in a little knot OF
brown silk.
A very striking hat was worn with this
costume. AT least a foot high in the bacl
it was topped with long plumes tina
twisted and curved in every direction
The front was low and curved and fin
ished With a knot of the checked goods

The fancy for trimming the hat will

And it must be confessed that it give:
a wonderful air of finish, though the mil
liners declare against it as being mar
tistic. But as a fad it is growing. I
may be a knot of checked goods; 1t ma.
be a bow OF velvet; it may be a bunc!
