1t is quality that makes possible
consumption of 90 per cent Of

quality that lessons your fuel

The o-zr overcoat for a small boy Is
the double variety, made out
of cloth OF dull gray, or deep blue, or
steel color. 1t should be only medium
weight, for the small boy does not need
a very heavy overcoat. 1t should be
thick enough. but rather light and not
too long. There is very handsome
English model, double breasted and
coming just below the knees.
Handsome metal buttons are used
upon boys coats as being more durable
than cloth buttons. and this is true
even in the case Of the dressy black
suit and the very nice dark blue suit.
A certain tailor who makes clothing
for the little boys of the 400 designates
the following as a suitable wardrobe
for a small boy:
One navy blue serge sack suit with
two pairs of trousers, one pair cut on
the bloomer order bloused at the knee
and the other pair snug-fitting knicker-
bockers. With this should go a serge
vest for wear on cooler days
One black broadcloth suit with coat
cut on the Tuxedo order and knickers.
Several nice white shirts should be a
part of this suit. And there should be
wide white embroidered collars and a
dozen broad neckties in white and
black. navy blue and brown.
The boy should have a pepper and
salt suit with bloomers and blouse And
with this he will wear a chemisette.
This style Of dress is worn for school
by large boys, who find 1t COM
Portable.
The boy will need two coarse suits
for every day wear and these should be
cut double breasted and buttoned with
bone buttons. A small brown suit with
vest, coat and knickerbockers will COM
plete a very nice wardrobe.
The small boys shoes are or much
in,po,rtance. They come with exten-
sion soles and wide toes. But these are
hardly polite shoes for the dining-room
and the small boy must put on slippers
when he comes in the house to his
meals. It is, therefore, a good thing
to provide him with pair or tan shoes
of medium weight for fall wear and a
uair of buttoned leather shoes and still
another pair of the glossy tip variety
for wear afternoons The boy himself

II have noticed" concluded she, that
all of your very best frocks are puffed
out at the shoulder, very much as they
were ten years ago. AS for US, we have
made only three models on this style,
but they are being extensively copied
In Vienna, London and st. Petersburg,
the cities that with Paris and New
York, lead the world in styles"
1t is impossible to pass the seasons
by without noticing children's clothing
and the novelties in children's apparel
Those who contend that children
have some right in the matter of cloth
ing will surely be delighted at the ar
ray of children's apparel spread out be-
fore them this season. Perhaps the
greatest innovation is in the matter Of
serge, that most useful material and
the least expensive considering its
wearing qualities.
Suits for Boys and Girls.
Little boys Russian suits, with full
knickers and long-b -belted coat of serge
are mong the attractive novelties in the
shops. The serge is almost smooth upon
the surface, is of fall weight and is
made very natty by the enamel buttons
and belt to match
In the granite colors there are some
very nice things for boys of older
CROWN. 1neTe Is d OCOII1Sn granite
suiting which looks like coarse weave
of canvas. 1t is slightly rough upon
the surface, but has wearing qualities
that cannot be duplicated anywhere.
1t comes in nub effect with f1ecks of
brown and red upon the surface, and 1t
can be, worn with colored shirts and
colored ties.
They are trying to introduce the
brown linen collar in boys apparel and
with some success. These collars are
not generally placed on sale as vet.
But, If any woman desires to fit her
boy out in this manner, she can take a
white linen collar, wide and we'll fit
ting, and after washing the starch out
of it, she can then cut pattern from
1t. And, in this manner she can obtain
the pattern for a collar to be made out
of light blue linen, of linen of a golden
brown or tan or red. These collars are
natty and are much worn by English
boys and girls.

BY AUGUSTA PRESCOTT.

a NE Of Mrs. Langtry's creditors
whispers that the Lily went
broke buying new gowns. But
she'll pay for them to the last
dollar and buy more" says he.
It's a woman's tendency TO pay for
things TO the last dollar and buy more
which makes the dealers so ready 10
cater to her and the manufacturers so
ready TO weave fine things for her. And
At Is TO woman's appreciation of the
beautiful that the wonderful fabrics
Of the season are due. It is announced
that three Of the Jersey Lily's new
gowns are quite distinctive. They have
the full high shoulder puff; they are
in the new shades of biscuit, dull red
and burnt corn color, and what is quite
noticeable. all are made OF silk They
ara of taneta- MORE and brocade. So
by thtI mark one can trace the coming
fashionh Look around and you will
see that the new gowns are made Of
silk and that ell have the high shoul-
der pun
Surely there is no woman who has
forFotten this high shoulder which is
new yet old It was the constant vogue
from 1880 70 1900. For nearly ten years
81 ragged more or less and was at its
very height IN 80. Surely no fashion
ever had 30 long a stay and no fashion
was ever one-half as popular.
All women, young and old, great and
small, wore the big shoulder and those
who walked IN the front rank Of fash
ion wore II smartly crinolined.
II was claimed for the big shoulder
puf that II made women very wide in
the shoulder, and that II made the
waist seem very small by comparison
Anyway, IT continued in vogue for ten
years and died hard.
Then It disappeared and the history
OF the saggy, baggy sleeve Of the past
I'VE years is well known And now,
10 and behold. the full puff shoulder
Is back and the new Paris models look
very much like those Of ten years ago.
This sleeve, which is called a mutton
leg. because II looks so very much like
a leg Of mutton, with the big part OF
the leg at the shoulder. is worn with
cloth gowns and with silk dresses. 1t
IS beginning TO come IN with the new
reception gowns and one sees 1t creep
ing into the coat sleeves.
As vet one cannot afford 10 have all
ones fall gowns made in this way, for
fear Il may not be permanent, but 1t
would be a very good thing to have one
or two fashioned with the high shoul-
der, for II Is very likely that by spring
there win be no other sleeves seen or
used
Tips for Prudent Dressers.
Prudent women are making the new
fail GOWNS out Of material with yard
or two to spare. This yard or two is
laid away carefully. so as not to fade
the goods; and. in time, 1t may come
fn handy for new sleeves or for big
sleeve puffs put on at the shoulder.
The French puff shows the big full
sleeve set into the armhole in big side
plait1ngs. The sleeve is now pulled out
The San Francisco call., 1904-10-09

full so as TO set out as though II were
crinolined. 1t is very tight below the
pun and quite hugs the arm all the
way to the wrist
While engrossed with the full sleeve
Dame Fashion has allowed herself TO
drift into the silk world. and so far has
she ventured that it is doubtful if she
herself is aware how completely she is
committed TO the wearing of silk. She
selects her dinner gown in the rich
hued silks Of medium colors, claret for
example, and leaf green and cafe au
lait. And for receptions and nice out-of-
door dresses she chooses the stately
black silks, selecting moire, gros grain,
Ottoman weave, corded and brocaded
and figured silks. while for other wear
she chooses taffetas Of various colors
and kinds.
And it is astonishing what one can do
with taffeta- A woman, seeing a bar
gain in cloud-colored taffeta Of the
shade we used to call steel, purchased
enough Of 1t for a complete suit 1t was
of the soft grade of taffeta-the kind
which. though lustrous, does not wrin-
kle and can be crushed in the hands
and smoothed out again without injury.
1T does not stiffen when wet, and IT
wears, II not like iron. certainly almost
as well as poplin, and this is no exag-
geration. Those who doubt can try a
good grade soft taffeta-
Well, this woman after she had pur-
chased her soft cloud-colored taffeta
went to work upon It, cutting out the
sweep skirt with home scissors. She
let it just swing clear from the floor
the same length all the year around.
Then she trimmed it with three knife
plated rufles set far apart and looking
as quaint as you please. She fitted the
hips snugly and strapped the seams
with strappings Of taffeta.
The waist. since the gown is for
fall, is cut open in Eton shape looking
a little like Directoire coat. There
are wide, smart turnback revers and
there is a deep collar of taffeta trim
med with a ruffle of the same. The
sleeves are big mutton leg with the
wide part of the leg at the shoulder.
But the prettiest part of all is the
vest or shirt waist which goes with it.
The San Francisco call., 1904-10-09

It is made Of corn cream coIored
China silk and the whole front is ruff
fed with Point de Flanders lace. 1t
looks too quantity sweet for anything
with it's wide girdle of cream color.
There is another girdlc Of black and
there is ruffled vest of black lace
for the cooler, days.
The Coming Silk Gown.
Silk has a certain warmth OF its
own. Unlined 1t can be worn over
something warmer. Lined it is as
good as cloth for cold day. Anyway,
Dame Fashion. with her usual clever
ness. is preparing herself to wear silk,
and whether over knitted vest or
over a wadded lining, 1t is very cer-
tain that she will be seen great
many times during the coming winter
in a dress Of brocade rivaling the bro
cades which were so fashionable in
the long ago.
And this brings one to the Direc-
toire coats. which are to be worn
universally this winter by all women
who can afford them. These coats,
with their open fronts, wide girdles,
long tails, smart gauntlets and big,
handsome buttons. will be the coats
of the season.
For a Directoire coat the woman
who dresses smartly will want at
least four handsome buttons the size
Of silver quarter. Those who go in
for extremes can buy much larger
buttons. A fashionable London wom-
an has a Directoire coat of navy blue
satin trimmed with four big steel but
tons on the front as big as half dali
lars. There are four more at the
back, which has position effect.
There is also a girdle which is caught
in front with big clasp. or winter
wear this coat can be snugly padded
and lined with Oriental silk. 1t is
very smart to trim the hat with a
twist of the same silk.
1t is silk, everything is silk, and 1t
can be set down as a sure thing that
the silk gown is here for a long stay.
The shops are filled with silks of
various kinds and, as the summer silks
are put away. there come winter
weights that are just the thing for
The San Francisco call., 1904-10-09

autumn and for the colder days later
on.
Even the foulards and the silks of
China and India are not banished en-
tirely, for they make such fine fabrics
for winter shirt waists. China silk in
all tints is made UP with lace, with
fagotting, with open hemstitching and
with lattice work. And India silk OF
fine texture is made the basis for
fiouncings of lace around the yoke, for
vests of lace and for some of the most
marvellous bodice trimmings that could
be pictured
To buy an India silk shirt waist no
longer means something simple and in
expensive. On the contrary, several OF
these waists retailed few days ago
in New York store for SIS each. And
an order was taken for one which was
to cost 5000. The owner is the wife of
a steel king and the waist, which is in
pale green India silk. is trimmed with
cushion lace, upon whose bobbins there
had been strung fish skin pearls, tiny
turquoise and mock gems.
All of the foulards are impressed into
winter use and the light summer silks,
of the shops have been spirited away
by cunning modistes to reappear later
as fashionable shirt waists From this
sign the home dressmaker might take
hint and should she desire to cut up
an old summer silk into new winter
shirt waists she can do so with the full
approval of the best modistes in town.
A Season of Ruhles.
"It is the vogue Of ruff1es," said an
ultra fashionable dressmaker the other
day. "and all the nice gowns are ruffled.
Some of them are trimmed with three
wide ruffles around the bottom, each
10 haf lCsfi ifol1 1aI n
med with plain ruffles 1t matters very
little whether the ruff1e be lace trim
med, trimmed with Oriental stuff, seal
loped, or pinked or severely plain, so
long as 1t is a ruffle!"
And this same opinion was voiced
some time ago by the dressmakers'
convention in New York and echoed
by the dressmakers' representatives at
st. Louis. Ruffles will be the vogue,
and never in all the history of dress
were they as fashionable.
A Paris dressmaker who made the
trip across the sea to go to the exposi-
ton said this to a representative OF this
newspaper the other day: All Paris
gowns will be trimmed with ruft1es.
That gown there" pointing to hand
some dress on exhibit. affords a fine
illustration Of the ruffled mode.
THE skirt is trimmed with three
knife plated ruffles six inches apart.
The waist, which is an Elton, is ruft1ed
over the shoulders and down the front.
The sleeves are finished with q wide
ruff1e at the wrist, lined with white and
caught back upon the arm; and there
Is a neck ruffle lined with white here
and there to show the lining. This
gown, indeed, illustrates we'll the COM
ing vogue for ruffies.
From a close observation Of the
gowns at St Louis" said this author
ity, II should say that your American
fashions area little ahead of our Paris
styles. BY that I mean that where we
are inclined to feel our way cautiously
you step in boldly. We are just COM
ing to a return of the shoulder puff,
while you are using it right along.
