Mr.. Richard Hall, the English por-
trait painter whois visiting America for
the first time contributes some of his
ideas on Good Taste in Womans
Dress" to the current number of Har-
per'S Bazaar. Mr.. Hall who comes TO
this country with the recommendation
of Partisan success having painted
many famous portraits of the feminine
fashionable sof the French haut monde
is having something of a vogue in New
York. He has done portraits of Mrs.
Oliver Hartman. Miss Beatrice Mills
and Mrs. Alfred Vanderbilt which have
been exhibited and much admired. His
words on woman's dress therefore carry
some weight. Indeed they are in the
nature of expert testimony.
Speaking of colors Mr.. Hall Saws:
Many dark haired women have a pas
sion for pink. Dark haired women
should not wear pink. 1t makes them
look yellow. Rarely 1 find dark wo-

very charming. There are many shades

ferent fabrics affords many effectively
contrasting nuances, while the trim
toilette in white may be the perfection
ofselegant simplicity, exquisite refine
rnent and aristocratic character. 1t is
possible to imDart to its daintiness a
sumptuous brilliancy by the garniture
till it is appropriate for the most i'm
pressive function in point of richness
and splendor. For certain coloring and
type scarcely anything sets off better
the grace and beauty of the wearer.
IF a gold hued gown the painter

be rather careful in selecting her colors.
A wrong shade will emphasize defects
and a right one mitigate them for this
type very notably. They will find by
experimenting that some shades of blue
are what they need and may judicious-
ly employ good browns or tan color"
Mr. Halls artistic sense has evidently
in the way of walking color schemes
of fashion for he goes on to say that
1T is when different colors are COM

ments with dressmakers which the con-
Stant improvements in this class of
feminine apparel affords, the ready-to-
Wear departments of the shops just now
offer invincible attractions. The new
fall tailored suits for street and out
ing and even the more elaborate uses
of carriage and visiting gowns have ar
rived from the eastern markets and
some very chic and becoming styles are
shown. Jaunty and becoming blouseS
are here in big numbers differing just
enough from those of last year to make
the latter look passe. 1t seems as good
as settled that the twenty-six and twen-
ty-seven inch coats are to come with
cold weather but the shorter jackets
prevail for autumn wear. There is
nothing more popular than the Norfolk
styles and the Gibson effects retain
favor. Everything continues to accen-
tuate the long dropping shoulder line.
The new fashionable figure is broader
than ever across the shoulder. longer
than ever in the waist, and trffle less
fiat, though still narrow as to hips.
The demand for skirts snug and still
snugger about the hips has brought
about the revival of the habit back.
Among dozen early fall suits seen not
one failed to show this back with few
ripples. Below the knees the skirts still
flare voluminously but the upper pOr-
ton is guiltless Of fuuness of any sort.
In some instances circular founces are
scanned to the lower edges, in others
plaits are used to produce the fullness-
Indeed the plated skirt seems the most
popular cut of the moment. Box plaits,
side plaits and fan plaits are all in good
style and they are made so skillfully.
carefully pressed, stitched fiat and fit
ted to the figure with the under portions
cut away as to produce no additional
thickness about the hips. But so long
as snugness above the knees and full
ness below is demanded we may look
for circular flounceS which produce just
the flare demanded.
For carriage, travelling and evening
wear the long cloaks will be worn again
although we are promised a relief from
the ubiquitous garment of last year
which was seen so inappPopriately on
all occasions The pongee and linen of
summer will give place in these wraps
for fall and winter to cloth and silk
interlined These show decided innova-
tions in sleeves. The bell shape ar
ranged to give a triple effect is worn
and the big, loose bishop plated into a
narrow band or broad aaring reversed
cuff The double, triple and single
capes and collars which seem to admir-
able to give breadth to the shoulders
are seen on long and short cloaks. For

wear are here and there are loose box

email color accent can tell, especially in
the matter of contrast. \ woman with
unerring instinct for contrast and har-'
mony in tones and hues can devise the
most original and ravishing toilettes for
herself.'
The women who wears decollete
gowns may also get a tip from Mr..
Hall 81 do not like he says, ito see a
gown end in sharp line against the
skin. am speaking now of a decollete
gown. A little tulle draped about the
corsage by its softening effect makes,
the color of the gown blend with the
tint of the skin without this abrupt
contrast"
OF hats he favors "a large black hat
which is becoming to the majority of
women and it is pity that it is not
worn even more than it is. 1t brings
out the color of the hair. A Rembrandt
hat with long sweeping plume around
the border is stately and beautiful even
outside a portrait while in one it is an
admirable setting for the face and inn
parts distinction"
Mr.. Hall is politely enthusiastic about
the beauty of American women, which
is almost demanded of him in view of
the fact that he is here to seek lucrative
commissions to paint the portraits of
the richest ones; but his praise of their
dressing is not unqualified. American
women, whom / consider the most beau
tiful 1 have seen, and certainly the best
formed dress, as rule, quite as well as
the French. I think sometimes, how
ever, American women wear too many
jewels. Of course at tie opera or on
some very gala occasion nothing can be
more appropriate or more stunningly set
off a lovely woman than magnificent
jewels, and a certain splendid lavish
ness of them, always this side of osten-
tation. But here especially without the
guiding touch of good taste it is easy
to overdo not only with the result of
being rated vulgar but to the detriment
of a beautiful toilet and the effective
ness of a woman's beauty
He objects to the women who, with
a low-cut gown, Swath their throats in
stiff, inartistic fashion, in these words: /:
I object very much to the dog collar
of pearls or diamonds. Unless a woman
has an ugly neck or one too long, why
and form even by SO splendid an orna-
nent? Surely nothing that beauty puts
on which detracts from her beauty can
have anything in itself to compensate
for that A single string of pearls is far
better.'
This suggests the subject of the low
coiffure, of which he says: For this
reason I do not like to see the hair
dressed too low on the neck, although
assured1y the style is tremendously
taking with certain women. As a rule
woman with an aquiline nose and
marked features can wear her hair iaa
this fashion effectively but if the nose
is Slightly en- Pair and the features chif-
fones such a coiffure is undesirable"

Folding Hangs Finder.

The officers Of the British army have

that it has never been used in action.
Prof. Forbes In his invention has over
come this great drawback, and has de-
;vised a folding range finder. which only
requires one man to operate IT. The
Forbes range finder consists of a siK-foot
maenifying twenty diameters The whole
Instrument weighs three and a half

that the trail rope can be brought over any

The great point about the Forbes range
finder IS that the man who takes the
range need not expose himself, as he can
do his work hidden behind q tree or cover
of any kind, Prof. Forbes demonstrated
the portability. practicabIlity and the ac-
curacy of his instrument while in South
Africa, for he took part in several engage
