Especial to Evening Teller.)

anate from mere, SnOulQ De most thank
full for the pretty fashions which he
have this year. Then among the flu
ture blessings they should ask for the
power of discrimination, for there are
so many beautiful things in the shops
with which milady Is expected to adorn
herself that it is very difficult to know
what and what not to buy.
Already the stores, having reaped
their harvest from the top-season
prices are beginning to make apprecia-
BILE reductions on the smart fabrics of
winter and the day of the woman
whose dress allowance is by no means
considerable seems near at hand.
Silky zibelines, cheviots and home
spuns which sold at two dollars q yard
at the opening of the season have been
reduced one third and the same is true
of expensive voiles, Examines, satin
| brocades, mousselines and materials
for afternoon and evening wear.
The values of trimmings of every
cut so that it is now possible to have
gown with all the pristine elegance of
advance season modes at a very much
less cost.
That new skirts will be wider and
more elaborate is attested by pretty
model in brown imitation wolfe. The
skirt is laid in three tiers, each being
81 aIsr ia
mile and silk embroidery Around the
waist the fulness is gathered, though
the upper tier is scant because of the
general full effect of the design.
The bodice is accordion plated and
blouses over a girdle of darker brown
satin. Falling over the blouse front
and back is a bolero of bands of lace
stitched together with strips of brown
satin to match the girdle. The sleeves
are laid in box plaits at the top but the
puff below the elbow Is tucked, the
tucks being held In place with stitch
ings of French knots instead of the
regulation machine stitching.
The collar is a pretty symphony in
burnt cream lace with pfpings at the
louisine cream net and white chiffon |
Only the faintest glimpse of each color
and material is visible, but the effect |
Is very complicated and artistic.
Women who object to- elaboration in
street costumes will probably not smile |
upon the growing tendency to expand
upon tailor-made dresses. In fact ex-
,ept for morning wear very few strict
" tailored gowns are seen. The vel
vets and rich cloth are all trimmed and
are as apropos for calling as they are
'or street purposes.
Appropriately with the Thanksgiv-
ng displays there come some smart
designs for country wear. Brown rs a
eading color for these costumes ana
shares favor with hunters green, re-
rival this year, and cranberry red, with
is delightful darker standings of black
sh bronze.
Among the automobile styles there
ire some striking novelties in fur Bear
md monkey skins are the prevailing
urs and nothing has yet been INTRO
iuced to suppiant theT in mouisfr
avor. Russion cat pelt IS pretty, BUT
almost too delicate for tire different
xinds of weather that ONE IS expected
o encounter at country house parties.
4 handsome auto coat with hat To-
match. reaches to rhe hem of the gown
md is made of fonghaired monkey
,kin. over the shoulders there droops
/ deep cape collar: the fronts of Wf1lch
asten with chains caught at each SIDE
With winsome little lynx heads. The
,ates of the monkeys are almost too /
human to make II fashionable combina- E
ion. hence the heads of other anfmats
must be used for the purpose,
Mention has been made of the red |
suede. coats, but nothing has
been said of the duh unfinished designs |
in gray and brown which are used not !
only for autotnobilirg, but walking ana !
golf on days when the trim little sweat |
ar will not afford the necessary COM /
fort These are stitched with their own
material with the formidable linen
threads that the shoemakers use ana
are very odd almost clumsy looking.
The newest fashions in lingerie are
well calculated to Danish the shades
of our grandmothers. Imagine corset
covers, chemises. etc. of etoile. batiste
and such materials fifty years ago!
Not only have we such articles in this
progressive age. but they are as Or
nately decorated as many of the hand
some house gowns
Etoile. it will be remembered has an
advantage over nuns yelling in that 1t
is softer and silkier. Lingerie in these
new fabrics are trimmed with real lace
and the petticoats have the most ex-
uuisite hand painted fiounces fmagin-
able. A new combination Is a sort Oh
camisole and petticoat; this is SHOWN
In pale blue French batiste and is COW
cred with tiny hem stitched tucRs ar
ranged in squares and alternated with
medallions of lace. The bottom ruftie
