 Ermine stoles are favored at French watering places for wearing with mus lin and silk frocks, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
 As result of the vogue for moleskin last winter a very close imitation of the fur has been brought out in plush. It is called moleskin plush, and is quite ex- pensivS.
 Coarse ecrue canvas cravats are cut slightly at the sides, and shaped out of one piece, which descends in bib shaped narrow plastron or tab in front, the entire collar Is covered with bright colored Russian embroidery. Cuffs to correspond add considerable effect to a plain blouse.
 It is safe to advise basques for autumn tailor-mades, for the! !tailors are even now manipulating them, usually in con- junction with the little shoulder capes. A triple basque and triple cape, both of the smallest dimensions, form an ex- cellent finish to tweed travelling cos- tune.
 A blue yachting suit has the revers of the reefer coat faced with white kid On another red kid is used for belt, piping and revers.
 The fashion for wearing earrings grows apace, and it is predicted that pear shaped drops will be in high favor the coming year. s'
 The newest sleeve is very nearly, re- lated to the pagode of last year, allied to a modernized, bell Three shaped vo- T0y, ,%c rfa aysf vrv}a VI, hn% lChn nv and elbow, the third and last coming just below the bend of the arm.
 A tan glace walking shoe Is one of the approved fancies of the hour. The high flap is usually adorned with square buckles of dull gilt, and one especially smart model bore an embossed kid buckle. The Louis heel is invariable.
 Modish stockings have the initials em- broidered on the instep in intricate and elaborate designs. So disguised and or nate, indeed, are these, that at first glance they are hard to decipher amid their setting of leaves and scrolls.
 Pretty fichus are fashioned of muslin, crepe de chine or chiffon. and are frflled at their outer edges with plaited tulle, chiffon, and the like, or ruches of fine { idSSs Fl Hey IT0QuSutIy nave lOnS GuuSy which are permitted to either cross in front and again at the back or else are left to flow free. negligee fashion in front.
 Skirts of painted muslin, made with founces, or skirts with shaped fiounces of lace coming up to the waist, are smart worn with silk coats drawn in at the back, the belt passing through the side seam, leaving the fronts loose, opening over white blouse.
 Evening coats nearly all have stole ends and falling gimp pendants. Some. times these are in gold, such as golden acorns with green leaves, and charming because they are so natural. Mauve and pink, mauve and light blue, mingle Tn some of the chiffon cloaks, and long white cloth coats serve a double purpose, for they can be worn alike for day and evening
 Black silk costumes for restaurant wear are quite the thing. The prettiest skirts have a deep shaped hip yoke and three graduated fiounces round the hem of the semi-train and the ull-plaited corsage has velvet bows decorating the front and deep collar of real lace, and for the ceinture deep Swiss belt cut low in front and high at the back. As a finish to this gown Is a long scarf of the silk edged with band of fine oriental embroidery and handsome fringe.
