carried out in this manner by using
nice lace over cheaper grade.
And while out on the bargain hunt
don't neglect to look for bits of any
thing that will make over into deep lace
cuffs. One woman purchased enough
piece lace for a pair of these cuffs. For
pattern she used deep cloth cuff
pattern, frightening it little.
These cuffs can be stiffened and ap-
piled to the gown separately so as to be
removable or they can be made into
the gown. They can be plain or
worked, they can show the lace pat
tern or they can reveal a wonderful de-
sign in applied crystals, all sparkling
and beautiful. They sometimes line
these cuffs with a contrasting color,
but the very newest are lined with
white, as the white lining makes the
lace look richer.
The gauntlet cuffs are quite different,
as they set out from the sleeve more,
while the Directoire cuffs are short but
very aggressive. You can take your
choice of these, but be sure to provide
yourself with several pairs of hand
some lace cuffs before starting on a
winter campaign.
What the Shops Are Showing.
1t IS difficult to mention all the bar
gains that are now offered in the shops,
for the summer season is practically
over and everything that was not sold
out is now being offered at a very great
sacrifice. Now is the time when a
woman with a little money can make a
wonderful showing for next season.
And it is not necessary to put away
your purchases, for, if carefully chosen,
they are of such a nature that they
can be worn this fall and winter. Beau
tiful thin fine cashmere or cotton stock
ings come in all shades and one can
get lovely brown, thin black or delight
full gray hose for very little. These
stockings, to the woman who does not
wear heavy hose in winter, will go
beautifully with the tailored gown of
winter The tendency is toward the
colored stocking, or to the stocking
that is worked in colors, and a woman
who wants to be fashionable should
provide herself with all colors.
Very pretty little taffeta suits are
now being sold very low. While these
are not intended for winter wear, still
there is something about silk that
makes it appropriate winter or sum-
mer. 1t can be worn with heavy un-
derclothing, or, what is better, with a
three-quarter cloak.
The long cloaks are specially de-
signed for wear over a thin gown and
the taffetas will be worn all winter
under the three-quarter cloaks Of
broadcloth, or heavy silk.
The handsomest Of the taffeta ant
wolfe dresses now come in the 1880 anC
the 1860 styles. The skirts escape tn,
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1904-10-02

it can be worn all the year round, just
as you make your aIl-the-year hats
and your all-the-year gowns.
The bargain counters offer very
handsome short lengths in cloth. and
this brings one to a discussion of the
suits that are going to be worn. Whole
suits all of one material will not be
more popular than the mixed suits.
The wife of a famous steel magnate
has just ordered a full suit of navy
blue cloth. 1t consists only of a skirt
and pretty white shirt waist. With
this she will wear a natty tan jacket.
The little tan covert cloth will be
worn more than ever this fall, and par
ticular attention will be paid to it's
lines, which will be straight in front
with the back and the sides tight fit
ting Big white pearl buttons are hand
some with such a coat and, though
there are many buttons on the mar
ket, none holds it's own better than
these pearl buttons. which now come
with a peculiar luster.
Remnant Ideas for Fall.
The navy blue cashmere fall suit
will be quite conspicuous the first days
of fall. And to get a good remnant Of
cashmere should be one of the aims
of the woman who wants to dress
smartly. The best Of the new cash
meres now show quite gloss and the
fashionable color is the old-fashioned
navy blue, the blue which holds its
own through all seasons.
The little tan coat is very smart with
this suit, but the smartest of all coats
is the little white cloth coat. This is
to be seen a great deal this fall, short
to the hips. snug, English in it's lines
and very chic.
There come lovely little white cloth
coats, the shade being not pure white,
but oyster white or mushroom white
or one of the whitish colors. The pure
pearl white is not nearly as Fashionable
as the slight coffee tones, the ones that
are off the white.
It is to be a great season for the
economical woman, for she can buy
remnants and combine parts Of her old
suits until she has a new suit smar
and becoming. A suit Of brown, one O.

black Venetian lace.
A gown as simple as this might be
made by any home dressmaker, and
there would be the s: iafaction of hav-
ing gown just such as the Queens
own private modiste is making for her
Majesty at this very moment.
How to Make Your Gowns.
While out bargain-hunting don't for
get how you are going to make your
gown and buy your stuff accordingly.
1t is going to be very simple. That
is one important thing. Even the Paris
gowns are devoid of the many rulings
which once distinguished them and are
shorn of their numerous plaitings,
f1ouncings. bows and ends.
The simpler the new gown the bet
ter; and there are many women who
are making up their gowns with no
ornament whatever except that of a
lace collar and deep lace cuffs with.
perhaps, a medallion or two of lace
upon the BODICE.
Bargain days in the shops mean a
great deal for the woman who is fond
Of lace. Mrs. Potter Palmer, who is
one Of the best lace judges in the
world, declares that never was lace so
cheap and never were so many bar
gains to be found.
THE renaissance Of lace" she said
to friend, has led to the resurrection
of many old pieces which were laid
away and practically lost. But the old
lace-makers Of Italy and France have
discovered the value of these odd
lengths and are bringing them out
from their hiding places of half CEN
tury"
Bits of lace, small lace squares, won
derful circles of lace and odd lengths
of all kinds, yellowed with age and
filmy as web, or brown with age and
stout enough TO use for fish netting
are beginning to appear. One occasion
ally finds them offered in the shops
but as a rule they are sold at private
sale. But on the lace counters one
finds many real bargains.
Then taking some bits OF real lace
which she had at home she applied
them to this collar, taking care to lei

Etamine, wolfe and canvas are to be
worn all winter and there are suits that
are being made up fresh in these goods,
for the material is treated in such a
manner that it is as warm as serge.
Besides this there are the long cloaks
and, as woman remarked, as she
tried on a broadcloth cloak of three
quarter length: II can wear my wolfe
gown all winter under this cloak" And
the modistes are actually counting
upon this to the exclusion of the .hith-
erto necessary tailormade suits for cold
day wear.
For Cold Day Wear.
But. Of course, there will always be
the tailor-made gown, and for this pur-
pose there come the prettiest material
seen in many a day. The nub plaids
are charming. They show fine plated
design running through rough goods
in which the nub is very visible. There
are tiny splashes of color in the goods
and the nubs are of all shades. One
can get this material in all colors, that
is, with red predominating, or with yell
low showing up in conspicuous
fashion or with deal of blue.
With gown showing a preponder-
ance of any one color there comes an
opportunity for a hat of the same
shade. A dress worn by one of the
society leaders of New York, who has
just returned from her summer out
ing to Paris, showed a ground OF light
brown cloth, upon which there were
large round spots in a deeper shade
of brown. A tiny f1eck of green was
embroidered in the middle OF each
brown spot.
With this gown the woman OF
fashion wore a big, fiat hat with sailor
like proclivities, draped with a white
veil in which there were BIZ green
spots. A coque breast of green trailed
over the side of the hat. The greer
and brown were cunningly mingled ir
this one suit. The gown was brown
with dash of green, and the hat was
mostly green.
The autumn clothes run toward the
smooth effects, though when the frs

BY AUGUSTA PRESCOTT.

4" HE Queen Of England wrote this
line to Lady Curzcn, Come and
go bargain hunting with me-"
i Bargain hunting with her Ma
5esty means very much the same as
bargain hunting to any other woman.
The shops are visited, well informed
and obIiging clerks display the dress
goods and Iaces and her Majesty leaves
the shop with fine collection Of pretty
things for the royal modistes to work
p upon.
The only concession made to her rank
is that the shops are cleared, or at
least an aisle is reserved so that her
Majesty and friends can bargain hunt
without hindrances. Yet ii frequently
happens that the Queen will go, at
tended only by a lady Of honor. and
VIII shop fncognita, none but a few
recognizing her in the crowd Of shop
pers.
And very good taste the Queen dis
plays in her shopping tours. She goes
TO the best houses and is very partial
10 those who advertise bargains. She
buys lengths Of pongee and poplin, TO
which she is very partial, and she in
vests rather heavily in ladies' cloth, for
there is never a time when her Majesty
has not a handsome new cloth gown.
In the season she appears at least once
a week and sometimes once day in
one Of these beautifully tailored af-
fairs.
Shopping the other day with Lady
Curzon, the Queen purchased enough
chiffon broadcloth for a killed skirt
which is to be made with the kills
stitched fat at the belt ana over the
hips. The bottom of the skirt is fin
ished with a hem eight inches deep
This gives the skirt weight and makes
it hang more becomingly. Otherwise
being devoid of lining or trimming, i
would be far too light.
The waist is to be made with a kiltec
or plated upper part, released into Z
full blouse effect over the belt. Th'
sleeves are plated at the top, but arr

laid in little tight plaits.

ments. 1t was no less a. genius than
Bernhard who declared that if she had
to take her choice of a new gown or
a new long cloak she would take the
cloak. You can dress to so much bet
ter advantage in cloak said she.
Very pretty are the military touches
which are lent to the new long coats.
They are made with button holes and
military strappings extending all the
way down the front and there are stiff
little military collars that stand
straight up around the neck, while
others, being collarless, have the mill
tary finish.
The First Autumn Coats.
One lovely three-quarter cloak in
mushroom white cloth was trimmed
with military finish of brown taffeta
loops and brown silk cordings put on
across the front in very handsome
style. Big brown enamel buttons were
stationed front and back.
The backs of nearly all cloaks are
tight fitting, which gives them their
style, and the little military trimming
at the back of the waist is very no
ticeable. There are position effects
tons, and there are strappings with
small tailored buttons finishing them.
The tailored buttons are very dis
tinctive this year. They are made of
gun metal, gold, brass and silver, or
they are of some mixed substance
which gIitters and looks like steel, but
does not corrode so easily. The tailor
ed buttons are so called because Of
their neat metallic finish, different en-
tirely from the silk worked buttons
and the covered button mold.
The semi-long cloaks are made of
many varieties Of material-indeed,
nearly everything is impressed into the
service from the heaviest broadcloth
and the shaggiest of mems suitings to
the light, smooth shantung and Chi
nese silk good, which are very service
able for winter wear if lined or worn
over a golfing jacket. 1t is fad to

many and such handsome rough suits
suddenly came from.
The attractive qualities of the new
coats are just realized by the great
army of women who want to be hand

thin or too thick for years and sud
denly see a way out of it, then the
saving grace of these long coats is
brought home to you.
The woman who is little too thick
