FASHIONS LATE MANDATES.
What MiIady Must Wear IL She
Would Appear In the New-
est styIes.

Shirt waists of fancy v~elvets, vel
veteens and ~cordsroys are fashion
able. Some are made simply, the only
trimming being fancy buttons; 9th
ers are finished with passementeries,
lace and MORE silk in bands or pipings,
says a fashion authority. These have
SNOWY buttons, too.
Robes are tempting in lightweight
cloths, silks and stenciled cloth. Some
are beautifully embroidered all over
or at the bottom of the skirt and front
of waist and sleeves. Two-toned cloths
are revived for these, and make up pref
lilly when trimmed with some rich pas
sementerie or velvet.
The newest tea gowns are in empire
fashion, with accordion plated skirts
beautifully trimmed with lace medal
lions and insertions. They are finished
with handsome collars of lace or en-
b%roidery, lace frills edging the collars.
Sleeves are elbow length, finished
with several lace ruffles. Light colors
prevail for teagowns and white is much
favored.
The fancy for fruit as a decoration
has extended to embroideries on din
ner and reception gowns. An illustra-
tive gown of black point d'esprit made
over white satin was trimmed with
embroidery in the form OF cherries and
their leaves, and had cherry red belt
and shoulder straps. Another OF pearl
gray satin and tulle was embroidered
with green grapes. Black grapes were
put on a delicate cream lace gown.
On sheer gowns are put hand-work
embroidery and lace and winter gowns
repeat those of summer in these trim
mings. Cord braiding is put on the
thinnest gauzes with good results and
the silver lace hat has been employed
so much is combined with white lace.
Tiny blossoms are set on dainty fab
RIGS in large rings and scarfs of lace.
tulle or satin are threaded through
hem. Scarfs are also drawn through
cloth cut in l~attices or circles for trim
ming cloth or wool gowns.
Flat trimming is standard for fall
and winter hats. These are a trifie
larger than those worn during sum
mer, and feathers, breasts, wings and
quilts are the trimmings. Beaver
hats will he fashionable and various
tinted ~velvets are submitted. Hats of
silk plush so far are in delicate shades.
Black, green, reds, browns and blues
are well represented. Blue and green
combinations will be numerous and
some new fancies in these shades are
stunning. Coque feathers are revived
in many pretty colorings. Birds are
wonderfully tinted, as are breasts.
Quilts are in black and green combina-
tions. The rolled brim sailor in all
shades Of felt and beaver will be fash
ionable for general wear.
Hardly a new skirt il lined-among
the handsome ones, that IL. All have
instead the drop skirt Of taffeta. This
skirt Of taffeta is cut like the outer
skirt, exactly and finished with a
plating or a rufle with a plating
along the edge. We say the handsome
ones adyisedly. When the outside is
not Of good, firm cloth a lining is nee
essary L help keep it in shape, and
when the lining is of some cheap cot
ton stun the wearer certainly would
not want it hanging loose. 1t has n
thing to recommend it especially.
When it is worn out it may be cast
aside. In the ease of a WORKOUT lin
ing made in a skirt L must have the
whole thing taken apart to refine it,
and this is about as much trouble as
making a new skirt, With the drop
skirt there's only to buy another. It
is TO be hoped our stores will keen them
ready made.
