Now York, Sept. 30.-This seems to
hs a prosperous season for the tailors
and dressmakers. They are busy earlier
,bap ever before getting out orders for
,bo coming season. Broadcloth and
,olvet costumes seem TO be more in de-
mard than ever and the other mate
,ials used in making up the necessary
Gowns. of which by the way there seem
% he larger number needed than for
merlv. are of the finest quality.
Instead Of one tailor suit for every
dav wear the woman who wishes to
be in the swim must have three. One
Of these is the walking frock with short
skirt for rough wear, another is a
more elaborate walking suit and the
third is a visiting or carriage costume.
The same rule applies to the coats this
YEAR Where one was sufficient former.
" milady now needs at least three for
various occasions.
Speaking of coats, the long model
seems to be by far the most popular.
Nearly all the latest handsome tailored
costumes seen thus far showing the long
coat in some form. The lines Of most
Of them are very similar, the variety
being secured in the clever way in
which the trimming is put on. The
long coat which fits and looks the best
is the one in which the skirts and body
are made separate and then joined at
the waist line. This is so skillfully
done in some instances that the coat
looks as If it had been fashioned in one
piece.
Soft medium shades Of gray are to
be among the popular colors this sea-
son. There are many costumes of gray
cloth among the latest models. The
long coats Of these being trimmed with
silk or velvet of a slightly darker shade
set on in stitched bands. A new tone
called palitine seems 10 have first place
among the different shades of gray
which will be used In millinery and
dress styles. Touches Of gold or sill.
yer judiciously used are one Of the
novelties in the way Of ornamentation
on some Of the new costumes. They
must however be skillfully applied and
not overdone as too much Of either at !!
once takes away from the smart look
Of the gown and makes it common.
Green holds prominent place among
the autumn colorings and is to be seen
in all tho olive shades The grayish !
olive which the Parisians call peo soup
green being much used both in cos
tunes and millinery. This color is not
becoming to everyone and should be
used with care. If properly combined !
with the right shades it is soft and |
attractive.
Reds Of all shades and tonesl warm,
rich yellow or brown reds; blue reds
in all the fascinating shadings, are
seen everywhere. Anyone who loves
this warm color for winter wear ought
to be able to satisfy her taste and at
the same time obtain shade which
will be becoming and smart looking.
The rich wine reds may be found !
joined with brown in some Of the most
beautiful shaded plaids. Whether the
plaids will be popular on this side Of
the water is a question which remains
to be decided yet. On the other side
they are wearing them in large checks
and pronounced colorings but America
has never taken kindly to the sharp
contrasts in plaids and it is hardly |
probable that they will have much
vogue here. The quieter tartans and
color schemes will have the preference
with those who favor this style of ma
