plunging, as they have, most of the
royal houses of Europe into mourning
viii have a depressing effect on fal
and winter fashions More somber col
ors are being called for, and mauve and
violet are again much in demand.
The Princess of Wales has just had
CONNECTED a very handsome gown
which is the criterion of smartness in
that line for the season. The material
used is black silk. while the trimming
consists of lace and velvet bows. The
sleeves are made with upper and under
sections, are tight fitting above and
trimmed with lace and insertion. The
skirt is made to appear of the five
gorec1 cut, but in reality has only three.
one of the seams runs down the center
of the back, and a lace flOunce, shaped
shorter in the back than the front,
trims the skirt The blouse front opens
over MA tied fulIness of the silk and a
graduated cascade of black Grape trims
the bodice from shoulder to waist The
blouse is plated at the waist TO a close
fitted lining
For black ties, feathers and flowers
there has sprung up the greatest de-
uland among the fashionables; like
wise for all goods in black and white
and the purple shades Of half mourn
ing. Tailored gowns, both blacks and
grays, are bein g made in large num-
hers while trimmings of lilac, hello
trope. lavender and mauve are sudden
" elevated into popularity.
Black serge gowns are regarded as
especially smart for mourning wear Of
the more serviceable sort. For more
dressv effects a model worn at LATER
rier's commended itself both on account
of its daintiness and its chic. 1t was of
white silk crepe de chine over black
yelled with white chiffon. The long.
slightly trained skirt was trimmed with
lace, above which came little group of
narrow tucks and then a narrow band
of insertion, the skirt being shaped
above with rounded yoke. The bS6
ice of lace was made with a transpar-
ent yoke, encircled on the shoulders by
folds of draped crepe de chine fashion
ed into a chou at one side, under which
long sashlike ends of the crepe de chine
fell like stoles almost to the hem of the
skirt This sash was embroidered and
trimmed at intervals with lace, which
gave it a very rich appearance.
The hats for fall wear are scarcely
picturesque. Too many of them are on
the style Ct the Ladysmith hat,
shape suited 20 few faces. There are a
vast number of hats of plain felt, sim
ply oTnamented, with bands or with a
wing or a quill as the sole trimming.
Such hats are serviceable for rough
weather or walking, but are seldom seen
on lacEionable women after the hour of
non. and in the city are scarcely worn
at al. Madame or mademoiselle at her
ci'7tcou delights in hats of this sort.
