oat seams. double-breasted, and nm
ished with three graduated circular
shoulder capes, the roll OF the Inning
showing like silk or satin piping al
the extreme edge of each cape, says
the New York Post.
The skirts OF some of the smart au-
tumn dresses Of light wool are shirred
several inches below the belt, after
being slightly gored on the front ana
side breadths. The back breadths are
box-plaited, and the lower part OF the
skirt is laid in horizontal tucks OF
graduated width, beginning with one
about 2b inches wide at the extreme
edge of the skirt. Sometimes the
tucks are stitched in with silk OF
color contrasting with that which
forms the skirt, and very often there
is a taffeta or surah waist the exact

In silk. the color of the machine
stitching. The effect is very pretty
in gray and cherry red, blue and old
rose or fawn color with Persian mauve
dots and stitching. All the beautiful
fail and winter textiles, even the vel
vets, brocades, and new French moires,
enriched with velvet or satin stripes
or flowers, are soft and flexible, and
thus are easily draped, plated, fold
ed or tucked The lovely pastel dyes
In monochromes or in artistic French
color-combinations are more than ever
fashionable-some warmer shades be-
ing added to the list--other colors
showing but slight deepening Of the
tints which have proved so popular,
and so remarkably becoming alike to
fair and dark women.

gion. Instead Of waning ia favor, its
autumn varieties are almost past
counting, and its new effects, strictly
and minutely chronicled, would fiji

and the Elton models complete ele-
giant costumes for visiting, for the
Promenade, for day functions. and in
the preparing of elaborate evening
toilets; they smarter the going-away

Protean forms render them becoming

Mousquetaire revers, with gimp
above. or panne. satin brocade, or
matelasse silk, with gathered under
sleeves Of the gimp fabric issuing
from beneath the short bell-shaped
sleeves OF the jacket.
Rivaling in favor the bolero, Elton
and little French jacket bodices and
short Louis coats are new double
breasted Russian blouses, trinity belt
ed, but made without the skirts, which
were added to these garments when
last in fashion. They are extremely
becoming to slender figures, and new

ranium or Roman red. covered with
jetted gimp, arranged in chevrons
or lattice patterns, or braided in
