WHAT THE SHOPS OFFER
LUXURY Is THE KEYNOTE FOR THE
DRESS-TRIMMING SEASON.
The "~Firvoniere," n Jewel for the
Forehead, Is Again I'm Style
New Belts and Neckwear.

Chenille dotted chiffon veilings in all
combinations and colorings are being
shown in the Indianapolis shops and are
so popular that it is difficult to supply the
demand. The combinations most sought
are the black with large white dots; the
white with large black dots; the brown
with large self dots. The veil with velvet
spots will also be very mucn in vogue for
fall and winter wear.

Chantilly nets will be popular this fall
and some extremely pretty allovers are
also coming in. Venice galloons will also
be good. In the Arabian shade these gall
looms are going to be very fashionable.

In neckwear there are new things coming
i'm every day. Automobile ties are perhaps
the latest; then there arc stocks i'm an end
less variety. not materially different from
those worn during the summer Black
and white effects in ties and stocks, in
dainty little designs, are said 10 be very
popular in the East.
1t is also said that boas. rufus and outer
neckpieces will be very much in evidence
for the fall. and some very dressy effects
are to be shown in the new importations
which are coming in daily.
Fall belts are a subject OF much interest.
1t is said that the prevailing style in belts
is much wider than the summer belts,
though the dip front will be adhered to.
Some of these belts are about six inches
wide in the rear. tapering TO a point in
front with a Louis XIV buckle in FURNISHED
gold. A great many of the belts present
the bodice effect in the rear. In the leather
belts the patent leather, a trifle wider I'm
the rear, with tapering front and pretty
buckle, are still in vogue.
Dresses for the fall and winter are to be
trimmed deliberately, in fact, luxury to an
extreme degree is the keynote for the
dreSS-trimm1ng season.
Point de Venise laces will be popular for
trimming the coming fall, and black es-
curial laces will also be very fashionable.
A new fashion has struck the fancy OF
popular fads. II Is a regeneration Of the
''fervoniere." n fad that was extremely
popular at least forty years ago. The
quaint fervoniere OF our g~randmothers'
time was a forehead jewel, usually some
large. brilliant, uncut gem set in heavy
antique gold fligree work and worn at
tached to a gold flet I'm the center OF the
forehead 1t also took the form of a simple
black band of ribbon or velvet, which
passed around the forehead and bound the
hair. This ornament is marvelously be-
coming 10 some women. and. on the other
hand. positively disiguring TO other women.
IL was an old custom among the Grecian
women, and TO women possessing a Grecian
mold of countenance ii is wonderfully at
t~ractive. a buyer who has just returned
from abroad says the fad is very much In
vogue in Paris.
The latest design in finger rings Is called
the photograph ring. This consists OF an
oval-shaped adjustable crystal, on the back
of which is pasted the paper photograph
of ones sweetheart. The photograph, In
stead OF being Of paper. may be made di-
rectly on the base Of the crystal itself.
The miniatures on crystal are set In all
the popular designs i'm gold rings, and can
also be had In gem settings.
On the latest fall chatelaine bags, made
in a fine mesh of silver chain. there Is a
small silver paddock which locks the bag
and which extends nearly two-thirds on
each side. The bags are square, instead
of round or oval, as was the fashion this
summer.
