favored. Then several brown tints are used
for such bodices and are pretty when
trimmed with gilt or Oriental passemen-
teries. These trimmings show up nicely on
white. too. and this combination is made in
sketched for this initial picture. a white
henrietta cloth banded with Persian en-
broidery and having a tiny shield of tucked
white satin. Striped fannels appear in
separate bodices and in very dainty color
ings. White striped with Persian tints and
pale blue or pink striped similarly are new
and pretty in fannels. In quite another
grade are the new wash f~annels, which are
pretty and guaranteed to wash so well that
very light tints are entirely safe.
The silks employed for separate bodices
are rich and expensive. They come in
checks. Powered patterns. appliqued silks
and dotted. figured and striped weaves.
Solid colorcd silks are used. but not often.
Many white waists are included in the
showing. and are noticeable for the bright
ness of their trimmings. An example In the
next Illustration was white crepe de chine,
with yoke OF pale blue velvet. Changeable
and chameleon effects In silk are very fash
ionable for waists. Some Of them are fin
ished with embroidered dots or woven
fecks OF white and black. These are very
fine. velvets. velveteens and kindred weaves
are seen In many handsome waists. and are
In solid color, two-toned, striped, checked
and figured weaves- While a great many
bodices are made with yoke and shield eff
fects. others do not show yoke finish.
Bodices blousing all around are seen and
look well on very slender figures.
Light weight wool shirtwaist costumes are
being made ready for winter. They will be
worn indoors mostly. Tailors are making
shirtwaist suits for house wear cut Of
cheviot and linen hop sacking. They are
heavier than those worn during summer
and can be washed. which is In their favor.
Shirtwa.st suits of wash flannel are also
stylish.
Among the new colorings for dress goods
and trimmings are several striking shades
Of blue. Dark blue is especially favored,
appearing. with red. green, orange or black
and white, as trimming in apparently a
majority OF all street gowns. Variety in
the methods of trimming prevents monot-
ony. Peacock is coming in again, but it
Is not quite so glazing as that shown sew
eral seasons ago. As 1t Is, IL is very try
ing to the average complexion and not very
safe for use with color combinations.
There are other new and brilliant blues,
but the average woman will be wise IL she
sticks to the deeper and more becoming
shades that harmonic better with other
coIors- Black and white woolens and
browns follow the blues. Handsome shades
of apricot and peach appear in woolens and
velvets. Banana yellow Is fine in velvets
and lightweight cloths. Other colors no.
ticeapse in the winter dress goods either
for newness or abundance are rich browns.
dull greens and bright reds. Blue and
green combinations remain in good stand
ing, and are striking in Scotch wool invisi-
BILE plaids.
Plaids and checks are being taken with a
rush. Blue and green plaids are for street
gowns. and for serviceable shirtwaist suits.
Scotch plaids are very pretty, but rather
too striking for whole suits. Separate
waists will be made of the less conspicuous
designs. while skirts will be taken from the
large patterns. Covert jackets are to be
worn with such skirts. the combination be-
ing considered very swagger.
Black In silks and woolens is to be
trimmed very lavishly. This is true in
more marked degree OF black silks. which
are embellished out Of all semblance to
