Among the splendors of n celebrated
French couturieri who sends gowns over
here is a brown muslin in accordion
pleats with motifs of white lace dotted
over il and a frOu-SSou of brown taft
feta tiny flounces round the feet The
bodice was tightly swathed to the figure,
of brown taffetaS and q fichu of folded
brown chiffon fastened with a large
cluster Of pink roses at the bust. An
early Victorian poke bonnet of white
straw. the brim filled in with pink roses,
and pink tulle strings tied low down on
the bosom, was the completion Of this
toilette.
4 well-fitted bodice Of white silk,
pointed in front and fastened straight
up to the throat with tiny jeweled but
tons, was the feature Of another gown,
of which the skirt was white taretas,
much piu-stripe pleated round the hips,
and belted with black velvet following
the line of the bodice from peak to hips,
and making a chic bow at the exact

stock IS very low, not more than an
inch high and finished win a ruf1e OF
Valenciennes lace The girdle is made
Of white Liberty. with big pearl clasp
Question of Stocks.
The high stocks are not shaped stocks
by any means. but are round and fast
ened at the back in a pretty way The
high wire and pointed stocks are not
worn at all 1t is rather the tail round
stock. and the kinds that fasten in sim
pie ways and are made in straight sim
pie lines rather than the very stiff ef-
fects. That kind, the tall wired neck.
seems 10 have melted away into thin
air.
The question of how to trim the neck
is one that must not be treated lightly.
So much has been done in the way Of
stocks that fashion seems to have come
to a standstiII, wondering what is TO
be done next.
There is a disposition toward the pres
ervation of the round neck for winter
And. in anticipation Of this. there are
numbers Of fur necklaces now offered in
Z =
Is wide and fat and is 10 be thrown
around the neck and fastened at the
chin. It is something like a boa, but
very much wider and fatte-
They are making the fur necklaces OF
baby lamb and are fiattening them out
| to make them very thin. They also
make them Of the other furs and OF vel
vet trimmed with fur. There are very
pretty feather necklaces, very fiat ard
very soft, and just the thing to be
thrown around the throat Of a gown
that is cut low or rounding il the neck
The Dutch Neck.
! 4 great many shirt waists and shirt
waist suits are made with this round or
1 Dutch neck. The neck is finished with
a cording or with a little frill or ruffie-
/ This is SHRED around the throat and
the waist is trimmed TO match.
For day wear these necks are never
low enough to show the throat, but the
whole of the neck is exposed The fast
ening is quite simple, consisting Of a
little pearl button at the back. and the
effect is charmingly girlish. For evening
the neck can be a little rOunder ana
slightly more inclined to reveal the lines
Of the throat and neck, but they should
not by any means be low.
With this style Of neck TIE necklace.
be II fur or feathers, or be II made Of
chiffon ruffies, IS a necessity, and, from
the minute the first fall breeZes blow, IL
/ should be worn. The round neck in the
| street is only, pretty IN midsummer, not
by any means in the fall or winter.
| The best finish is a little friN Of lace
or a narrow muslin ruffle, and, If the
| gown be very nice, the lace fril can be
made Of VaIenciennes lace or of any
| other fashionable lace, but the finish
must be simple.
There is something new to be told
about the linen collars with lace inset
But one might talk forever about the
new modes, and It is best TO leave some
thing for another time.

Topic Tips.

It's a long vacation that has no re-
turning
Many women are carrying the Japa-
nese bamboo suit-cases; they are so
light.
If you are to sleep aboard boat or
train have a black China silk nightdress.
Pongee- petticoats are nice for run
about wear.
The latest in millinery IS a cellulOld
flower that will withstand rain.
Yellow shoes are like wallpapers; you
never know how vivid they are till
they're on.
Broderie AngIaise is to be Developed
In velvet for autumn.
Taffeta and linen continue to hold nrst
places.
Tho delicate pinkish blue of the
hydrangca is affected in the garments
OF the mOdish.
Women no longer young look parucu-
Iarly well in the all-whttC toilette
Small tailed coats of cOlored cloth are
quite the smart finish for q white linen
gown.
Striped sauzes and silks are much
favored.
With light dresses the champagne col
ored veil is quite as smart as a white
or light-coiOUed one.
SIX costumes made up in jacket ef-
feet, but In reality waist and skirt, are
highly approved.
The Washington times., 1904-08-21

them in such a way as to make two
tabs. Sew them 20 the neck so that they
hang neatly over the bust. This gives
something of the stole effect and is very
becoming.
It is amazing to note how generally
women are taking TO a simple line Of
stocks. Mrs. Carrot A. Hobart, who is
one Of the best dressed women in the
world, is wearing simple white needle
work stocks, put around the throat in
the pIainest, prettiest fashion, and fast
ensd at the back with invisible hooks
and ewes. II preferred the stock can be
secured at the back under a chou Of
tulle.
And. speaking Of the tulle chouX, they
are now made smaller and rounder, so
that they look ike a little ball Of cloud.
They are light, airy and very becoming,
and. with the high couture, they are
quite the thing. They come in all the
pastel colors. and a woman who aims to
no well dressed should certainly keep a
dozen OF them on hand. There are little
sachet lined boxes into which these can
1 be laid and sweetly scented.
Fashion in Scents.
II would hardly seem as though the
question of scents were part Of fash
io, article Yet. perfumes enter so large
" into gowning that no dressmaker
ignores. them and no trousseau. summer
nv winter. is complete without due at
tention 10 them. The latest fad Is the
scanting Of the dress skirt with a dozen
1ittla fat hearts filled with sachet and
