LACES ARE TO BE
THE RAGE NOW
The Skirt Shapes Will Remain
Practically the Same Until
the Spring Says Fashion.

There is no question but laces will be
much worn both during the fall and the
winter. Those who have laid in a good
supply of these beautiful trimmings
from the bargain sales should there
fore be happy. Luxeuil, ; Irish and
Cluny are expected to hold leading
places, but nothing which is pretty will
be at all amiss. The shops too, are
showing woven lace collars and jackets,
as well as all-over pieces. so that it
locks as though, with a little alteration,
last seasons lace gowns may be credit
ably made to do service for another
year.
SKIRT SHAPES UNCHANGED
There seems to be little prospect of a
radical change in the shape of skirts
until spring. 1t is authoritatively stat
ed that the round skirt, just touching
! the ground, will be introduced The
skirt of 1880 style seems to be favored
by Americans. 1t is quite long and
shaped to the figure, with a plating or
scarcely noticeable drapery over the
hips and the suggestion of a box plat
/ front and most figures looks very
well.
SHORT JACKETS AGAIN.
! Jackets will be short, with the mere
suggestion of basque for autumn use.
/ The long coats have not yet seen the
end of their career. softening touch
is given to some of the light cloth three
quarter coats by the use of chou and
sash ends of chiffon applied at one or
both sides of the coat. In cases where
the trimming is used on both sides or
the jacket a chiffon band gracefully
outlines the waist in the back, where it
is sometimes clasped by buckle of
cut steel or pearl
SHOULDER RAPED EFFECT.
| With regularity the shoulder-draped
effect appears as a mode of trimming
house gowns. 1t is extremely pretty for
negligees, tea gowns and matinees, but
when introduced on night robes it re-
ceives with each advance a cold well
come. A possible objection to the scarf
for nightdress trimming is the inva-
riable 'bunchy' feeling about the
shoulder. The fichu or scarf mode is
a trimming that is followed by women
who cling to an individual style of
e gowning-the simple frock where prac-
e tically the only ornamentation is the
. shoulder dressing. The drape is decid-
edly more pronounced than it was in
: the spring. In tea-gowns and wrappers
v made of wool materials the scarf is OF
z silk, variously edged. Pointed yokes
y have the lace edging finishing the lower
y line, giving the effect of a scarf
