Add to Her Outfit for the
Coming Season.
Long chains will be worm another

Long chains will be worn another
season.
The touch of gold grows less and
less on elegant toilets.
Extraordinarily large open-work
balls, topped with a jewel. figure
among latest hatpins.
Turkish coffee pots in Dresden
china and copper + odd but pretty
additions to the china closet, says a
fashion authority.
In autumn, instead of cretonne, the
applications viii be garlands, bou-
quets, etc., cut from velvets.
Blue serge frocks with an unde-
niable air of style are merely
trimmed with strappings of blue
fastened with gold.
The plain and two-toned ribbons are
crisp taffeta and can be made into
bows and rosettes without mussing
the ribbon.
Ivory is once more in vogue for the
medley of toilet appointments scat
tered over the fashionable woman's
dressing table.
Diaphanous stuffs will continue to
reign supreme IOI SNClIl1lS So"ISs
Embroidered m~ousselines in black,
white, ecru, and also some gaudily
colored effects, are offered as cor
rect.
Styles in wraps remain somewhat
unsettled. That is, it is clear enough
hat a great variety of fine outside
garments will be offered and worn.
but just which will be the most
abundant ones remains uncertain.
Sleeves are slowly but surely alter
ing; they have been gradually doing
so for some months. In fact, before
the real winter fashions make their
appearance sleeves will be more
vo1uminous than ever, but with a
few exceptions they will not be TX
~aggerated.
Reds and browns will be in force,
especially among the t~ailors, and
stripes and spots are very noticeable
among flannel gowns. Plain serges
in white, red and blue will be worn
right up until the cold weather real
ly begins.
A form of trimming to renew its
s~tylishness is that of the jetted and
spangled order. New sorts of this
are offered, and jetted robes and
trimming, both in spangles and bead
work, are among the handsomest and
most expensive of the seasons novel
ties.
Gay trimmings are not to be lack
ing this fall and winter. The show
ing of new sorts is quite the equal in
brightness and variety of the dis
plays made early last spring. Rib
bons are very handsome and are Of
fered in stripes, plaids, checks, Ores
den and serpentine effect, plain and
two-toned colors. They will be used
freely for trimming gowns and fancy
waists and for neckwear.
A costume of ochre linen is eff
fectively made with a skirt extremely
sweeping in cut and tucked horizon
tally, the tucks rising toward the
back, at the top of the founce. The
bolero is cut low in front and short
in the back and has a scroll design
of stitched linen edging it. The
blouse accompanying it is of tucked
batiste of ochre tint, with Irish
giupure empiecements at the throat.
Tea gowns made on Charles /. lines
r of very light weight cloth, with a
soft girdle holding the fullness just
below the bust. The bloused short
waist is usually slashed to show a
acknowledgement satin lining, as are
the full sleeves, and broad Vandvke
point lace forms a collar and falls
over and hands. Others have accor-
d~ioH-plaited stoles and fichu inset
with lace insertion and trimmed with
deep lace. Golden brown, blues and
soft reds look well in these gowns.
One new wrap is a reversible cape
OF the golf-cape order, but designed
for evening a On one side the
material is eiderdown of a delicate
pink. The lining of white and pink
brocade may be worn outside, MAX
ing a change so complete that the
possessor may deceive others into
thinking that she is the owner of
two handsome wraps. The goods is
cut ron n piece, the only seams
being on the shoulders, and these are
well covered with a large collar of
white angora. Such garments are
doubly interlined-with thick canton
flannel of very soft quality and with
a layer of crinoline or book muslin.
The latter gives the necessary body
and flare, while the other imparts a
rich, downy effect.
