Among the Certainties in sight.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Entirely new
styles are impossible at this moment. Mad.
anne Mode being as yet in the broodinl
stage which precedes her revolutionlzinl
activity. Not before October will all thu
autumn chicks Of fashion be Matched, and
meanwhile It is to variations on the old eff.
fects that we must turn.
There are new stutfs in plenty in the mar.
ket-some soft woods. in rich enamel-liks
blues, among the importations-but nc
made-u things as yet distinctly original
The influences Of old beauties are seer
everywhere, many skirts still showing the
horizontal tucks and circular iounces Of
the summer. Sleeves are only a shade
more picturesque, and taffeta and plain
cloth bands are still conspicuous trimmings,
A slight change is accomplished in the
cloth decorations by now shaping the pieces
oddly and putting them on in fantastic
ways. For instance. the old. straight and
ing is varied by long. slender, ~half-moons,
circular bands which cross in sword points
somewhere on the skirt, and narrow strips
put on in irregular bars. These last form
patches at the bottom Of gored skirts, the
wide spaces between being. Of course. I'M
trimmed.
The new outing suits especially show
these odd cloth trimmings, which may have
contrasting stitchings or pipings of differ
ent eolored silk. Tiny silk-covered buttons
also sometimes outline the cloth bands,
while bigger buttons OF the same sort will
trim the blouse jacket Of the suit.
Gowns.
A batch OF stunning gowns lately shipped
to Newport for golhng and outing purposes
stylishly illustrate some Of the late meth
DDS OF trimming. A very fetching rig was
made Of green and white notified tweed,
with stitched bands Of the same. On the
skirt the decoration took the form Of mar
row vertical strips. crossed at the hounce
quarter by q band made OF short, wide
pieces, with one end pointed. The blouse
bodice was cut with a short tail and girdled
Norfolk fashion with a stitched belt.
One pretty gown of red and green striped
golhng cloth depended entirely upon a
novel yoke for ornament. Four deeply
pointed VS. distinguished this, one falling
at the back Of the round bodice, one at the
front and one over each shoulder. The yoke
was Of bright scarlet cloth, stitched with
green, and the plain ankle-length skirt
Jared smartly at the bottom.
None Of the new outing skirts are very
short. which makes 1t possible for their
lucky owners to bring them in town for
rainy-day use.
During the cool, cloudy weather Of the
last month Broadway fairly blossomed with
smart outing IrocKs, the leaders OF the
haut ton setting the fashion and the rest Of
the sensible world following II. Society

philanthropic deeds. Until the smart people
give up the tip we are all poor towards.
Many OF the, blouse Jackets of these trig
suits show short tails. and IL there are no
tails elsewhere, those who Hike a rear nn-
ish still cling to the postillion tats. Many
double-breast slightly, the lap being widest
at the bust and narrowing to a point at
the waist. Sleeves for the heavier ma
%terials, such as golfng cloth, tweed and
covert, are always coat" shape and loose
in Mt. Other sleeves run to small bishop
models and all of the hinner textiles are
lined with brilliantly colored silks. Stitch
ing, in grouped rows, is a ~favorlte orna-
mentation, as we'll as collars and cuffs in
a contrasting velvet, while. a touch Of
bright color, even II 1t is only in the double
facing Of the goods, is considered indis-
pensable for smartness.
Outing Hats. -
As to outing hats, 1t is quite plain that
the best dressed women go to the man
milliner for their millinery. Even the
most carefully contrived headgear of the
feminine modigte lacks the trim tautness
accomplished by masculine fingers. So It
is to the halter" that you must 20 for
