Styles of 0ainsbOrOugh Hats.
The coming winter will be one of
contrasts. Nothing will be more ele-
CANT or more stylish than broadcloth,
its smooth surface commencing itself
especially and the numerous shades,
running close to two hundred, show
the great expected demand for it. On
the other hand, one sees feecv libel
ines, the more expensive reaching a
limit of shagginess, in which aggres-
sive hairs an inch long, will render
wearers of the same, quite animal like
in appearance. Woe to the short, stout
woman who may venture to assume
such garb and ridiculous in the ex.
treme will she be, resem bling some
tuft rolling about the streets. Per
contra, one may readily imagine a tall,

will be hers and acknowledged ex
pense, since in proportion to sbaggi-
ness, prices go up or down, medium
zlbelines being comparatively mode
rate. Lord & Taylor's magnificent
display in these lines, does not hinder

and such as will be selected by the
large class of persons who while de-
sirous of being fashionable, make ju-
dicious choice of materials on the
standard 0rder-such fabrics remain
ing IN vogue season after season, and
easily changed, if need be, from one
member of family to another. Under
this head, come mixed cloths, chew
lots, tweeds, hair line stripes and
camels hair goods. Plaids are very
prominent among fall goods, the
larger proportion being in subdued
tones, but rich wine color or effective
alterations of blue and white become
probably prelude to other striking
combinations.
Styles 10 Making.
1t seems at last that pouch fronts,
so long refuge for defective figures,
are to be greatly modified and in MANY
cases discarded in favor of close fitting
corsages. For street wear, long, tight
| fitting coats en- suite with the dress,
will be worn, but as this style is fatal
to short, stout figures, a short over
garment reaching only to the waist,
will be in order In sleeves, there is.
as yet, but slight modification of sum-
mer ideas and again will appear those
inverted putfs that have shown what
paucity of idea prevails. Some
Elegant Gowns

A second gown in fine pastel blue
cloth, is made with a slightly haring
addition to the skirt, with tucks on
the flare. The upper portion of the
skirt is cut in points each one edged
with several rows of narrow silk braid
completed by small buttons; tight fit

with the S. H. & NJ. velvet braid skirt

tions disclose continued preference

only one sewing. Moreover, it does
not deface the shoes. Contrasts are
