The Newest Coats and Jackets, Shirt
Waists, DlOuses and Mill
Iinery.

A slight Broadening of the shoulders
is manifest among the latest gowns
sent from Paris, and this effect is ac-
complished variously by small cres-
cent-shaped puffs, epaulettes, Hun.
garian CAPS and triple frills arranged
one above the other and graduating to
sharp points at each end. These are
applied at the top of the arm, with
corresponding trimming at the wrist
or elbow, says the New York Post.
Many of the short jackets and coats
are worn with a skirt of correspond
ing material, though they are quite
as fashionably made of Melton, Ker-
sey or Covert in contrasting shade.
A smart little model shows a very
closely fitted back and dart-ftted
front that fastens below fur-covered
revers in double breasted style. The
sleeves terminate in shaped bell
fare at the wrist. Another model is
a double-breasted form without the
darts, and has a Napoleon collar OF
cloth covered with tailor braid and
edged with a narrow band of black fox
| fur.
| The closing at the back continues to
| characterize many of the newest shirt
| waists and blouses. Clusters of tucks
| in yoke depth, with two clusters ex.
tending to the waist on each side, are
a feature in the front of pretty
French shirt waist that is closed in
the center of the back. A cluster Of
| narrow tucks on each side of the clos
| ing is another item of the model, and
the bishop sleeves have three cluster,
| of tucks extending to within short
| distance of the lower edge. The termi
mating of these tucks just below the
narrow cuff forms a small, graceful
| puff that gives a pretty finish to the
sleeve. Soft silks and light wool fab
RIGS are suitable for this style of waist
| A smart little house blouse fol
| morning wear is made Of Lansdownt
in one of the pretty pastel colorings
1t has French back tucked to NEE
in a point at the center. The front!
are arranged in very narrow box
plaits stitched on each edge, will
slight fullness from shoulder to belt
These open over a blouse vest of whit
Liberty silk, and the collar, cuffs ant
pointed girdle are also of stitched sill
with Persian gimp at each edge.
The new millinery displays the usua
collection of extreme styles. shape
and exaggerated fancies, which will
their countless plumes and show,
buckles are really becoming to blu
very few women. The large pictur
hats vary in the height of the crow
and width of brim, which arches VI
more or less at the side, but the Ma
donna face which makes them sue
cess is the exception. The low
crowned, Northumberland styles ar
lquite as fashionable, however, and no
nearly so trying in shape. Velvet hat
in all colors are to be the rage, an
the dress styles are trimmed with full
cream lace and jeweled ornaments.

A ACKNOWLEDGING girl consulted doc

from. Her answer was as follows:

TALKED ABOUT CORSETS
At Recent Meeting of Dressmakers-=
Feminine Fashions for Fall.

New York, September 23.-One of
the principal subjects of discussion at
the American Dressmakers' associa
tion which closed here a few days ago
was that of corsets; therefore. the
perfect form will be the objective
point toward which the energies OF
the American modistes will be direct
ed during the coming season.
And indeed physical culture has
done so much toward the attainment
of this aim that the difficulty Will be
appreciably lessened. What the phys
zeal culture fails to do, however, it
is intended that the corset shall make
up The latest vagary from corse.-
land is delightful affair which is
calculated to keep up the diaphram
without restricting it. force the stom-
ach in and increase the back hips. The
suit of such a corset is not only a per
feet fit. but an exceedingly che eXtef-
iOr effect and as one or the members or
the association put it, you are as
happy on the inside as on the out
side
Aprop0s the gowns which are to
adorn these perfect figures, it may be
said that many will be developed in
velvet. But the regulation silk velvet
will be replaced during the fall and
winter months by the richer and more
pliaEle panne.
Popular favor mclines toward lust
rous fabrics and even cloths which are
listed among the smart materials are
most highly finished There are rough
surfaced materials, Of course, but
these are for general use an6 even
they are stitched plentifully with
bands of smooth faced goods.
j. i.
The spotted panneS distinguished as
leopard effects are smart and extreme
ly pretty. The cololings, too. are
rich trough it is seldom that more
than TWO tones are seen in one gown
and the trimmings CORRESPOND with
the figures scattered over the usually
lighter shade background
For instance . froek Of e2ru tan
with a slightly reddish tint is spotted
with autumn leaf brown figures. The
skirt is built with medium sized plaits
at the back and there are inverted
plaits at each side Of the front
The vest Of tne Jacket is composed
of exquisite cream lace striped with
panne and the jacket bears inverted
plaits AT both the front and back
