Separate Waists.

G OPERATE waits of cashmere, al
batross, viyella and Scotch and
French flannel will be worn this
autumn. Those of flannel will be plain
in style. Well dressed women do mot
use elaborate trimmings on flannel
waists. Many Of the new tailored waists
are unlined, but I should advise having
a thin percaline lining sewed in with
the shoulder and side seams This lin
ing should be caught to the outside ma
terial at the waist line in the back
The fronts should then be left loose and
arranged in the center Independent OF
the outside material. 4l41
Buttons Of steel, gilt and white and
smoked pearl are being used on the new
waists, which are made with plain backs
long shoulder seams, and stitched or
tucked fronts with long wasted and
slightly bloused effects. The latest sleeve
is a bishop shape with a trife more full
ness at the top than that of last year.
The Wristbands are made>la large enough
to permit the hand to slip through.
When the waists are tucked quarter
inch tucks Stimulating box-piaits, and
quarter of an inch apart. are used. The
tucks are stitched down on each side;
single tucks are also stitched down.
or white silk, or silk of a contrasting
color, the effect is very good.
- HE colors most used for separate
waists are bright and dark red,
tan, and the light, dark and
French blues. gray, pink, and the dark
and reseda green. ~
Fine albatross waists are made up
plainly or with trimming added in the
shape of VS., narrow vests and small
round yokes of white taffeta silk in tiny
cross tucks. or of Persian silk of Orien-
tai embroidery. ~
The Russian embrO;deries or bands,
though not new this season, are being
used for collars. cuffs. belts and front
straps. These straps may be made at
home by basting canvas over silk and
working it in a cross-stitch pattern with
silk twist of the looser embroidery silks
in brilliant shades of red. yellow, blue
and green. which are the colors used by
the Russian and Bulgarian peasants in
their embroideries.

Timely Hints.
n n ANY dainty accessories in the
N form of belt buckles, lace COL
lars of all kinds and sizes, fluffy
vests and fancy stock are seen. Where
one has talent for making these things
the wardrobe may be greatly improved.
Entire dresses of one material are
fashionable for street and dressy even
ing wear. but for other 0ccasions-home
wear, theater, etc.-nOthing is SO much
liked as the separate skirt and odd
waist This fall the favorite colors dfor
the separate skirt will be gray and
brown. where one already has a black
one. The tendency toward keeping skirts
light in weight is still prevalent.
Elbow sleeves, which were SO well liked
for the summer. will be continued TO-
semi-evening gowns during the fall and
winter seasons. The latest wooden waists
show the bishop sleeve. All the new coat
sleeves have narrow fancy cuffs which
fall over the hands or are turned back.
The narrow position back. fiat andino
over six inches in length. remainsi in
vogue for wooden waists Of the tailored
order. The position back and pointed
front Is becoming to a short. full figure,
rs is the lengthwise trimming placed on
the front seams Of skirts.
All of the new belts slope down in
front. The plain mannish leather belt
has been discarded. and in it's place has
come the belt of silk or satin folds with
fancy buckle. which shapes to the figure
and imparts a dainty. womanly touch
to the wearer.
