She Wears Her Monogram on Her Glove.

Jeweled additions TO the wardrobe are
plainly trumperies, but it is a season
when trumpery is necessary and when a
bit Of jeweled lace, a collar, a pair of
lace gauntlets. an embroidered stock or
a yoke, or flOunce will add the touch
of Just something which the gown
needed.
The woman who has plenty Of money
will want a taffeta gown immediately
upon her return. and, If she is of prudent
instincts. she will invest in one of the
coin spot taffetas She will take a glossy
black taffeta. showing a coin spot of
black satin, and she will make it in the
prevailing mode.
The round skirt with shirred hip yoke
and the round skirt with tucked hips are
holding their own well. and for early fall
they make a very pretty gown; though
there is the side plated skirt with the
plaits stitched upon the hips, and for
absolute style there is nothing that is
any more elegant.
The black taffetas Of early fall will be
made with a choice OF skirts, and. if one
does not want to cling to the tucked hips
and the plaid designs. there is the skirt
which is built very full and which is
rufled around the foot.
How to Hang Your Skirt.
There are certain rules for these skirts
and the observance OF them will make
gown. One is that the skirt shall
barely escape the ground all the way
around. The second is that it shall be
little shorter in the back then in the
front. This is to insure a smart flare.
And the third is that the material
shall have sufficient stiffness to set well
out and not cling TO the figure. This
stiffness can be secured by the wearing
Of a handsome rufied petticoat, or by
cutting the skirt out of material which
will not grow slinky.
Then, whel it comes TO the waist OF
the first IaH costume. one hesitates
again, for surely there is q choice. The
woman who wants 10 look seasonable
Will choose a little jacket, or, at least.
a simulated jacket She will try to make
her suit true 10 its title a fall suit in ap-
pearance. even though II may be for
warm day wear.
Immensely smart will be the three
quarter silk coats made Of black tat
reta, and quite as smart will be the
three-quarter silk coats. made of tan
linen and Of the heavier ecru and coffee
colored linens. and OF the fan weight
pongees.
Separate Jackets Fashionable
1t is going to be a fall when the sem
arate jacket will be fashionable and
when the woman who does not want 10
wear suit all alike can vary her an
pearance with coat that contrasts with
her costume.
The contrasting coat for fall can he

'front.'. faced with self-cOlor and but
toned with visible buttons or fastened
with braids and cords.

decorations.
Az for the sleeves Of the fail coats

But those who want a sleeve that slips
on easily and which is pretty 10 look
at. becoming TO the figure and which IS
sure to hold its style all the fall, there is
the balloon sleeve. which is called the
Little Jack Homer sleeve.
Jack Homer Sleeve.
The Jack Homer sleeve is low upon
the shoulder and tight in the upper arm.
II gradually grows larger until at the
wrist IL is the circumference Of a fairly
well developed pillow case. Here IL is
finished with two very full and very
deep ruffies Of lace. This is an admir-
able sleeve for any fall coat and it has
the merit OF dressing up the coat re-
markably.
