charmingly defined costumes for street
usage, at least, with characteristics of
style that will be in evidence through
out the winter.
The tailor-made gown with elaborate
decorations has disappeared except in
revers effects. Cloth suits are stitched,
strapped and banded either with the
same goods or with inlaid black tat
feta. Braids and pendants are used
sparingly, and buttons, although serv-
ing as trimmings, are small and I'M
obtrusive.
The shirt-coat is seen in variety of
forms. 1t moulds the figure like
corsape. 1t is double-breasted and
semi-ftting, it has vest front richly
embroidered, or it opens with revers
of white cloth, braided and fantasti-
cally decorated. Then again it COM
blnes the Russian or French blouse
with a postillion coat-skirt. But in
IL cases these coats are stitched,
tucked, strapped and belted.

son is the absence of the high-stand-

Capes Replaced by Carefully Shaped
Revers.
The small, circular capes that
promised TO have so wide popularity
have not grown in favor, although
they are neat and jaunty. They are
replaced by carefully shaped revers
or collarettes in graduated sizes, nm
ished by pipings of white or black,
and trimmed with fancy braids or
small buttons.
White cloth effects in revers, Innings
and pipings are seen on gowns of all

garments any more than there would
be in having riding trousers made with
little or no care. Moreover, when
ever there is pull on any part of a
garment, as there so frequently is
above the knees in drawers, the nat
ural result is quick wear at such parts.
If properly cut the filled edges of
drawers should set as evenly around
the knees when in sitting as in a
standing posture. A pattern is given
here that has been cut with consider
able care and which will be found
comfortable in every way.
The material used may be either
muslin, jaconet, null or silk. The
drawers are cut quite short and edged
with frill, set on to the knee edges
by heading through which ribbon
is run and tied in bow to the outside
of each knee.

weight and -sfrmness to the most un-
compromisingly stout figure.
There is no change in the heavy
wooltex cloths, plated, fecked and
hoped, that were seen in the early
part of the season. There are few
plain cloths. Tweeds are threaded in
white, and mohairs are especially
beautiful and long haired. Colors run
to every shade and tint of plum, both
purple and red; then, as second favor
ties, are champagne, sage-green, deep
blue and castor-pastel tints, | think
they are called. At any rate, they
tone off into tinted white, threaded
in darker shades.
Handsome Full Length Coats for Car
riage Wear.
In contrast to the complete suit, l
noticed some handsome full length
odd coats for carriage wear. They
were of either silver-gray or brown
mixed woods, threaded in black and
plum red. They were loose fitting,
and caught at the back with belt,
while the fronts were thrown open
with revers Innings of cloth, either
champagne, rose or pastel blue. The
flat, open collars, the belt, the cuffs
and the revers were piped in white
cloth and trimmed with narrow braid,
with further decorations of oxidized
silver buttons.
Sleeves, as seen on the new tailored
gowns, are not too shapely They are
somewhat on the bag style, caught at
the wrist by cuff band, or they are
tucked and pleated to the elbow, fall
ing thence into a pulled lower sleeve
A pretty, sensible suit, combining
correctness of style with good taste,
was of the new bourette plaid 1t was
constructed on the French blouse
model, with white cloth stole, collars
and cuffs braided in black and gold.
The shaped collarette was fastened
over the stole front with brown pearl
buttons. The skirt was finished with
piped seams and fell into inlaid fan
folds about the feet. A gracefully
curved hat of black silk flowers com
pleted this costume.
Words of Up-to-Date Wisdom About
Walking Suits.
Covert cloths are more pliable than
English suitings. and for this rea-
son are preferably used for the close
fitting coat suit An artistic model
of this style is of the new greenish
shade, and has coat carefully adj
justed to the figure. The seams are
strapped, and two small horizontal
bands with buttons are used with dec
orative effect on the right side only
The skirt of the new shape is long and
clinging with flare bottom. The gore:
are broadly strapped and elaborately
stitched. The necessary touch o.
black is found in the cluster of blacl
ostrich plumes that droop over Tho
crown of the dark-green beaver hat.

THE CORN SHREDDER.

One Of the implements or machines
which farmers who visit the fairs have
found in operation is the corn shredder.
1t is revolutlonizing the use of corn
fodder. as it saves labor and prepares
the corn stalks for the use of stock. 1t
removes the ears from the husks and
tears the entire stalk into shreds at one
operation. as rapidly rs the stalks can
be fed into the machine There are
several kinds. but every farmer should
have one. as it will enable him to use
the leaves. husks and stalks as so much
hay. which can be baled If necessary.
When fodder is thus prepared the cat
tie will not reject so much as usual,
and the shredded fodder uneaten is
suitable for bedding or as an absorbent
in the manure heap. The saving in
feed by the shredding of the entire
stalk will be an addition to the profits
of the farm, and also enable the farmer
to keep more stock.
