ing well, and inside this bell there were worn Bishop sleeves gathered around the hand in a little tight cuff tied with ribbons.
 The bodice had a girdle of corn-colored satin ribbon fully five inches deep brought around the waist very smoothly and hooked at the side, under the arm. Beauti full little pins of yellow topaz were used to secure the belt-fastening at the side, and were placed a intervals around the girdle.
 The stock was of the same smooth piece of yellow satin, and yellow satin ribbon tied the hair. Upon the front of the waist was big handsome bow of the yellow satin,. thus finishing the waist very pret- tily.
 Of course, the tiny bolero must always be In evidence, and a small bolero of Irish point was slipped on over this waist As though there could be any warmth In tiny little garment like this, the bolero was lined with satin, to be taken off when the sun shone brightly.
 The bell-shaped sleeve will be the sleeve of fall for young and old. While many sleeves are falsely called the bell the true bell-shaped sleeve is one that Is very tight to the wrist, but below the wrist 1t flares into a bell. The bell sleeve is worn very long and also very short the latter being only to the elbow, where 1t has big bell just above the point where the arm bends. Below the bell there is the Bishop sleeve in lace extending to the wrist.
 There are many styles worn by the young and those of more mature mold One of these is the sleeve just described. Another is the draped tunic which is composed of gathers brought from the bust line. At the waist there is a broad belt or glrdle, and below the belt the tunc falls in gathers again to a point nearly to the foot of the skirt. Underneath there is a skirt trimmed with very deep founce.
 A very charming end is sometimes .S@1 for finishing the fischu and also for finish ing the trimming of the skirt. It consists of a piece of goods so cut that, when fold ed and fastened it will fall in little piaits, as a side trimming
 Early autumn street gowns will be made in very light shades of cloth, the prettiest and most delicate of these being ice color, which Is nearly white, with shades 5s pink and blue showing through 1t. The weaving of such piece of cloth is a work of art as the threads are woven through the goods in such way as to show blue from one direction and ping from the other. Ice color will be among the most fashionable of the fall shades.
 There is a vogue for brilliant Things. A gown recently made for an American wo- man to wear at Newport this September is of ice cloth, cool, shimmering and beauti- full. The skirt, which is very short, being little more than ankle length, is lined with Jack rose taffeta. The coat is an Eton with white silk reVerS, the whole of ice cloth lined with the Jack rose taffeta. Revers of silk turn over at the throat. The blouse to be worn with the Eton is a pale blue ging- ham, the plaids showing a thread of red.
 brilliant little soft felt hat will be worn with this suit. The color of the hat is Jack rose, exactly to match the lining of the skirt. A broad Jack silk tie will be knot ted at the throat
 The bolero is becoming more and more eccentric. One of the newest boleros is ex- tremely short in the back and on the sides and very long in front, where the tabs reach the belt and are finished with two tiny buttons.
 The tunic also grows in eccentricity. One of the newest shapes shows a very much elongated front, which rounds away at the sides and Is short in the back. This style of tunic is much affected by the woman who desires something tailor-made yet novel; severe yet becoming.
 A gown of this description is among the last of the summer dresses that will be made up this season. It is of light green cloth, with tucked waist and skirt. A very short bolero of the plain cloth Is worn over the waist, the tabs being elongated and reaching to the waist line. The tunic Is also long in front and touches the ground, while the sides and back are very short.
 Silks, like other materials, are being em-
