LONG CLOAKS FOR AUTUMN.
Although its advance has been more
or less hesitating, the long cloak Will
be adopted generally in the early au-
tumn. This garment will be made 10
serve all sorts OF functions, and will
appear in thin and heavy fabrics, but
with a larger representation in plain
and fancy silks. AS has been stated in
previous numbers the Empire garment
form Is leading all others. The ten
dency toward this form is being ac-
centuated each succeeding week. For
carriage use exceedingly bright colors
are appearing in these garments. One.
a very charming output or French
make is made of hydrangea- taf-
feta. which is attached to a white silk
yoke and collar. the two latter being
embroidered in blue and silver. The
skirt of the coat and the sleeves are
laid in narrow line tucks, stitched with
black silk. These extend TO within
twelve inches of the foot-af the gar
ment, which is thereafter leIt plain. A
handsome capuchin drapery Of black
velvet ornaments the shoulders, from
under which falls deep full rufi1e OF
Chantilly lace. Velvet ribbon bows
complete the drapery in front, and
these end in long ends. reaching prac-
tically TO the foot of the garment. The
collar and sleeves are lined with black
velvet. a decided innovation. and one
that greatly enhances the beauty OF
the complexion of the wearer. This
coat is in truth one OF the earliest OPP
era cloaks TO appear.-Harper's Bazar.
LACE EDGED RUFTLBS.
Ruffies, lace edged plainly hemmed
or finished with fancy ruchings, are
the preferred garnitures for summer
garments for street, garden-party, or
house wear. These appear in varied
depth. A favorite method is 10 have
them cut in shallow circular form, so
that the necessary gathering Is slight.
A pretty French model shows a shirred
null skirt finished with pointed ruff
f1es, each edged with a fine guipure
lace-the group being headed by an in
sertion OF the same. The bodice Is of
pale blue taffeta, with yoke of
tucked white muslin.-Harper's Ba-
zar.
DECORATING A SUMMER HOME.
To get at the desired coloring for the
walls of her new home woman took
last October some autumn leaves to an
artist friend and got her to mix their
tints In water-color. These she gave to
tho housepainter and had them dupli-
Gated and rubbed in, i'm oil. on the
rough plaster finish of the rooms. The
result has been entirely satisfactory.
All the rooms on the lower floor open
into one another and the colors OF the
deep red, the leaf green, and the bur-
nished brown and amber that were Sc
lsyted. The finish was put on with a
coarse brush with circular strokes TO
give slightly clouded effect. AZ the
ceilings OF all the rooms are in hard
wood rafter style. agreeing excellently
with the walls of solid color. the whole
scheme IL one Of unique harmony. The
chatelaine says that the idea suggest
ed itself To her because by the time
the wall finish was reached, the esti-
mate allowed for the house building
was considerably overreached. Ito

fabrics that wanted was beyond my

Edmund Russell that color is cheap.
