n;rectorie styles are very prominent

.,o use of both hands to hold 1t up and
boon il from twining around our feet.
ca far from decreasing in width the
sroart skirt has now become twelve
,ords around, a severe strain upon
most women's purses. These very full
skrts are often made quite plain with
inst a hem at the bottom: To be quite
correct skirt hens must vary in width
from six to ten inches. Thin hens are
of,en interlined with flannel to weight
them and sometimes little lead weights
are put at the top of the hem. Where
one has to put so much money into the
material for a skirt it is relief not to
he obliged to trim it. There is, how
ever the consolation afforded by
French folds, applied box pleates. ruch
ings and shirrings Of the dress mater
ial.
Blue is one of the popular fall cOlors
and very pretty dress for early cool
DAYS is built of a heavy quality Of blue
linen. The hem is headed by three
rows of narrow blue and white braid,
and the same braid is used in close
scrolwork over the wide belt, the cuffs
and around the neck. The full skirt is
killed to the waistband, and the bodice
is made with Jacket effect in an al
most square panel in the back and
front. From shoulder to belt the edges
Of these panels are crossed by braid
loops passed around small ball buttons
on the panels and sides of the waist.
The neck has a square cut collar slop-
into revers in front, bordered by three
rows of braid and opening over white
shirt front which may be worn with
or without stock.
The fall clothes run toward the
smooth effects, though when the first
snow flies the rough goods will come
out and one will wonder where so many
and such handsome suits come from.
The attractive qualities of the new
coats are just being realized by the
great army of women who want to be
handsome. Quite pretty are the mill
tary 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
military finish.
win the fall gowns the fall hats
nave likewise come to town. 1t is in
the crown that the greatest change in
the autumn hats is to be seen. The
crown Is asserting itself 1t is getting
hisher and higher. The crownless hat

sahihsiy out of date. The high crown
