a book which shows all these things,
and it seems that we are always drift
ing around to the old styles.
The waist in question is but one of a
thousand. 1t is certainly striking, and
it is far from being ugly. Etamine is
used for separate waists and obtains
effects quite different from anything
else. One is shown in the illustration
with square yoke, and this is filled
in with pink silk yelled with chiffon.
The front OF the yoke is Of the material,
with a trimming of black lace run with
chenille. The waist is lined with the
pink and is tucked in clusters. 1t is
of gray, and the pink shows through
slightly. 1t is very handsome waist.
Some really pretty effects in waists
are found in having White serge or
French flannel in white or cream and
making the waist quite plain and with
out tucks. When the waist is other
wise finished, black velvet ribbon or
fine soutache braid is put on either
diagonally or In any way that may
suit, and this is SO that it resembles
stripes set III different ways.
Full French waists are now more
seen than the ugly full blouse of a sea-
son ago. Very little extra fullness is
allowed in front, jusc enough to show
slight pouch down by the point in
front. And nearly all waists arc slight
!. ly pointed in front to allow for the new
belts. Certainly half the belts are
m Nv he
of art with classic subjects. There are
patent leather belts with little stars Of
gold, silver and oxidlZed spangles Be-
sides these there are elastic belts, wide
ones and narrow ones. and each kind
is ornamentcd In some effective way.
Buttons are to be q great factor in
the trimming for everything. SILK GRO
chetcd ones are the fayorites so far,
but there are many other kinds Still
the black mohair and silk ones, like
those used on mems garments, will be
the best style. They will be used on
skirts and en- sleeves as part of the
garniture The list of novel effects in
braids for trimming Is 'too great for
utterance," as the public speaker says.
The new millinery is now ready and
| Is unusually beautiful. There is no one
set and particular style which we are
all bound to adept for hundreds Of
shapes and varieties are seen. The
general outlook is that the crowns will
mostly be rather fiat, and the shape Of
the wearer's face will in a great meas
ure determine the form the hat ulti-
mately takes. AIilliners have way of
bending hats in all sorts Of shapes to
make them entirely becoming.
The beaver felt hats are the richest
and most picturesque of all the Gains
borough shapes. There are at least a
bakers dozen of shapes called by that
name. Velvet hats of this style will be
loaded down with black plumes, and SO
will the plain felts and the other shapes
made OF chenille In turban toque or
| capote.
The ostrich plume will reign this year
| certain and sure. Many quills are seen
and quite a number of whole birds,
chiefly parrots. and no one ever COM
| plains when parrots are killed, whether
on sentimental or sensible grounds.
| Many of these are dyed black. and they
are cheaper than good ostrich plumes.
Poor ones should not be put on Gains
borough, for .hey destroy the effect.
Gray felt hats are seen oftener than
anything in the rooms Of the manufac-
turing millincrs, and the main idea
with them is elegant simplicity. They
are intended for fall. A twist of some
| pretty and not too snowy surah is
brought around the crown. Some of
them have only silk cord and tassels.
| One way of trimming the Gainsbor-
oughs is to have a rich cord around
the brim and left to fall at one side
after having been tied in loose bow
There is a great deal of brown in the
feathers. always excepting the ostrich
| plumes, and much OF the other milli-
merry Is also brown, remeniber-vel-
