son has reached its height and the great
variety of styles designed especially for
the comfort and appearance Of the fair

every possible color, fabric and texture
has been put to use TO suit the purpose for
which they are intended The proper ad-
5uncts are a question for consideration,
and special shoes, hosiery, underwear,
Bhirtwaists and hats are matters Of inter
est The skirt and jacket, however. are
or first Importance. and they are made in
strict accordance with the latest fashion
sdicts While many favor the simple

jacket of double-faced cloth, others pre-
fer more conventional hues and more dis
unctive styles. and it was for the latter
that the attractive costume OF our Illus
6ation was designed.

masculine attire for practical uses.
SHIRT WAISTS
The charming models which Paris pro-
duces in the shirt waist line show that
the French capital respects American
ideas. for the shirt waist is a fashion
which originated in the practical Aneri-
can mind and was copied by Europe.
Some new designs indicate that white
Will be the color of the autumn and Dos
sibly the winter shirt waist White
cashmere and veilings are very adaptable
for shirt waists, and some dainty de-
signs show tUcks TO be the favorite mode
of establishment, and long sleeves are
tight and finished at the wrist with liar
ing cuffs. Soft turned-down collars are
likewise in evidence and are newer than
the high stocks. Much work is expend,
ed on the variety of neckwear of lace
or crinkied sheer fabrics which lends
becoming finish. Felix Fournery.
