so remarkable that the gown would
challenge admiration for the embroid-
cry alone, and fortunately causes un-
common embroidery designs to meet
with no favor; on the contrary, unless
the finest, and incidentally the most
expensive, can be had, it is best to have
material that is beautiful in itself
without any adornnent. This is tre-
mendous progress in the lines of good
taste, for as is always the case when
embroidery is fashionable, a crude COL
oring and inferior work are very apt
to appeal to the uneducated taste and
the eye is often caught by something
that may be effective for the moment,
but when examined proves anything
but satisfactory, and is conspicuous
without being in the least smart.
Where expense is no object the satin
gowns in pale colorings-rose pink, an
exquisite shade of blue nile green, a

like the embroidery, these add i'm
mensely to the expense and beauty of
the gown, but at the same time one or
the other can be dispensed with. The
pale pink satin gown that is known as
peach blow, is an exceptionally exquis-
lite color and most becoming. 1t is
made in the way already described
around the lower part of the skirt and
extending well up. The waist is draped
and is partly formed of chiffon and
partly of satin, the colors harmonizing
so exactly that it is difficult to tell one
material from the other. The embroid-
cry Is silver, mixed with some silk of
the same shade, and the gown itself ap-
peals irresistibly to any woman of re-
fined taste.
The lines are all long and graceful
even in the way the chiffon is draped
around the upper part of the waist,
giving length rather than breadth. ex-

blondes and so does not look so well in
spangles. Her ideal colors for the even
ing are diaphanous white, with but few
spangles, if any, pale blue and pink of
almost any shade, and for the street
pale gray or brown.
The red haired girl seems to be, as
rule possessed of a keener instinct in
the choice of her colors than most
women. Her greatest mistake is in
selecting pale blue In most cases it is
very unbecoming for a whole waist or
dress, but touches of it here and there.
as in bows on white dress or piping
on a black one, are not unbecoming
sometimes. The most stunning colors
for the red haired woman are black for
the street and white for evening wear.
Black, too, is most becoming for even
ing wear. Very dark blue, very dark
green and brown are also most ex-
quistely becoming to the red haired
woman. Vivid blues are not as a rule
so becoming. 1t is a dangerous expert
ment indeed for red haired woman to
try any vivid colors. Very pale pink
and very deep wine color are the only
shades akin to red which are becoming,
and these are exquisitely so. Gray is
sometimes exquisite with dark red or
golden red hair, but must be chosen
with care, as there are possibilities of
a very severe clash. Very pale green
is the only possibility besides the very,
very dark shades among the greens,
unless ones taste is so perfect that is
is possible to select some oddly har-
monious, dull green tint. Very dark
purple is not unbecoming. Lavender is
exceedingly doubtful.
At last in the gamut of colors we are
down to the brown haired girl-the girl
whose name is legion. Here complexion
counts more than anything, for brown
hair goes well enough with any shade, |
and, on the other hand, unlike the red, |
it lacks the vividness which would
make it dominant.
1t is the nut brown maiden as to eyes
and hair who also rejoices in a bright |
who Is favored among this |
order OF womankind. For her there are
few unbecoming colors and many that
are excessively. dazzlingly becoming.
Pale green, white, yellow and pale blue !

wear. She cannot wear white or Or
dinary shades of pink, blue or green.
She must avoid black absolutely. She
must never touch lavender. Her really
ideal colors, vivid and dark reds and
heavy blues, are almost too deep for
evening wear The only thing for the
sallow blonde to do in such situation
is to avoid everything positive She
must fly for relief to queer confections
which will not clash with her sallow
skin. Dull oriental blues, which are
pale enough for evening and are not so
as pure pale blue, dull,
pale green on the same order cream
color and dull yellow are her evening
gown possibilities. The dull blues and
greens must be lighted up by spangles
Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-01

make her ideal ball gowns. Lavender
is also exceedingly becoming, as are
pale gray and vivid pink-in fact, all
shades of pink and rose. Bright red
is not so becoming to her, but for the
street very dark green, almost any
shade of blue, brown and gray are be-
coming. Before finishing with the girl
whose eyes and hair are brown, it may
be said that whatever her complexion
black Is never her most suitable color
1t forms a contrast neither to her eyes
nor to her hair, nor does 1t match them,
and consequently it always looks dingy.
The girl with brown hair and blue
eyes is at once the easiest and the most
difficult subject in relation to her color
harmonies. Provided her complexion
is ordinarily good, there are very few
colors which are noticeably unbecoming
and at the same time there are very
few shades which are wonderfully be-
coming.
avoid everything that is neutral, every
thing in which several colors are mixed
so that each is weakened, everything
that is pale, undecided in coloring or
so dark as to make the shade indis-
tinguishable.
Dark rich blue not too dark to lose
the blue nor as light as the crude shade
which has been so popular in veilings
is very becoming to the blue eyed
brown haired girl. Warm browns, gol-
den browns, tobacco browns and a
warm golden tan are very becoming as
are dark rich red and purple.
If her complexion is fairly good, a
light blue that Is not too colorless, but
deep enough to be positive, is usually
very becoming for evening. Yellow,
white especially spangled white and
pink lavender, are her best evening
shades.
All shades of red are usually ex-
becoming to the blue eyed,
brown haired girl as long as they are
rich and good shades. Scarlet is ex-
cessively becoming in a hat. for in
stance, or waistcoat, where 1t is used
against a dark color. Dark blue with
waistcoat or trimmings of scarlet give
the brown haired girl the dash she
needs.

cepting across the shoulders, for it Is
very cle1erly arranged there so as not
to make the shoulders look narrow. and
that is one reason for the model being
such becoming one. The sleeves are
small and made Of chiffon. and when
the color is becoming it is quite in
keeping with the original design of the
gown to use old lace ruff1es under
meath the chiffon and to have some old
lace draped around the shoulders, but
under the chiffon instead Of over it. If
possible antique lace should be used.
but it Is quite an easy task in these
days to have modern lace colored so
that it looks almost as though 1t were
old, and, of course, the cost is infinitely
less. Still now is the time, if one pos
sesses treasures of lace, to use them,
for the old look is considered SO very
smart and is really almost impossible

innumerable if they are to be suf-
ficiently vivid. Red roses in the hair
and on the corsage may add to the
cream color gown the needed brilliance,
while with the yellow gown pink roses
or red either would be exquisite for the
sallow blonde.
Last Of the blondes is she of the vel
vet brown eyes. The girl with the
velvet brown eyes and yellow hair, if
her complexion be clear, is exquisitely
pretty in pale blue. Even If her COM
plexion be not clear, pale blue is one Of
her best colors. Then come bright pink,

~ DID as are the suggestions for
~ color harmonies no one who at
tends any gathering of women
or who rides in the cars where women
are numerous can fail to see how rarely
women really study their own color
harmonies.
Now that colors of all kinds and
shades and Of any degree of vividness
are so extremely fashionable for women
of all ages and for street as we'll as for
house and evening wear, the question
of color harmonies becomes even more
important than in seasons where black
costumes and black hats or dark
browns, blues and similarly sedate
shades predominant.
1t seems rash to suggest color har-
monies without knowing the indi..
viduals to whom they are to apply; yet
long and serious contamination has
suggested that the following rules foi
choosing colors may be quite generally
useful:
In the first place, consider the pure
blonde girl whose hair has a pale gold
glitter, whose eyes are pure, blue, whose
complexion is clear, bright pink and
white. She is of all women, the most
favored. Red is one of the few hues
not particularly becoming to her, as it
clashes with her coloring and cheapens
it, and neither pale blue, pale green,
pale pink nor tan color seems to have
sufficient character to set her off; they
are apt to make the pure blonde look
too doll-like.
for blue eyed, pink and white blonde
are undoubtedly white, with or without
spangles, yellow in many shades, vivid
pink and light green; and her best
shades for the street are gray, dark
green, dark blue, dark purple and black.
Varying from the foregoing type of
blonde is the girl with the flaxen or
golden hair. pink and white coloring
and green or gray eyes. Like her blue
eyed sister she is happy in the great
variety of colors which are becoming
to her Gray is excessively becoming
to the gray eyed blonde, and vivid
greens are equally so to the green eyed

yellow and always white-heavily en-
broidered around the foot of the skirt,
make the most exquisite gowns that a
woman can wear The embroidery is
done in silk spangles-not at all the ef-
feet, be it understood, of spangled
net gown, but rather a more conven-
tionalized design that is worked out in
gold or silver in pailettes of gold and
silver thread. Then around the very
hem of the skirt is a band of velvet,
the color of the material or a shade
darker over which the embroidery is
placed.
This gives a good finish to a skirt, no
matter of what material it is, but care
Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-01

blonde. The gray eyed blonde can wear
all the hues that are becoming to her
blue eyed sister, and she looks even
handsomer in black and the different
shades of pink. The gray eyed, pink
and white blondes ideal evening colors
are yellow, vivid pink. rose, pale pink,
pale blue, vivid green and spangled
white Somehow she does not look so
we'll in white without spangles as does
the blue eyed blonde. She can also, by
some unknown rule of color, afford to
wear the pale pink and blue which make
the blue eyed blonde too doll like. For
the street the gray eyed blonde looks
best in gray, black or dark red. Her
ideal street costume is all black, with
out a touch of other color or pale gray
with touch of yellow.
Then comes the green eyed blonde.
Provided her complexion be as clear
she can wear the same colors as the
gray eyed blonde. Green in different
shades, however, is her ideal color both
for evening and street wear.
The colorless blonde, that is, the girl
who has light flaxen or yellow hair blue,
gray or green eyes and colorless skin,
which almost invariably means in
blonde a sallow one, is not difficult to
suit with colors, although she has no
such range as her pink and white sis
ter, and when she does make a mistake
in her colors it is very awful indeed.
If she chooses the wrong shade she is
sure to look yellow and unhealthy,
when she may, if she will be careful,
avoid making such an impression. Red
is her color par excellence. Almost all
colors of red are becoming to the sallow
blonde, especially scarlet, dark wine
color and the queer dull oriental reds.
Poppy color, coral terra Gotta, Jap
anese red, almost all good reds are in
her gamut. Dark blue and odd shades
Of vivid blue are also becoming, espe-
cially if the eyes be blue or gray, as
are several shades Of green, especially
the dull and rich shades. The sallow
blondes most successful street cos-
tune would probably be of dark blue
Or dark red. Gray is not becoming to |
her and brown rarely so. What the
sallow blonde has most to trouble about
Is her light colored frock for evening
Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-01

The skirts measure an absurd width
around the foot, but to be fashionable
must fit close around the hips, reveal
ing every line Of the figure. They can
be circular in design and quite plain;
they can be in wide pleats or narrow
tucks, but, of course, where the en-
broidery is placed the surface must be
quite plain. Satin is to be a very fash
ionable material this winter, as is also
heavy silk. Chiffon cloth and chiffon
itself are not included among the use
full materials, and an attractive fashion
is that which combines satin and chiffon
of exactly the same color with the skirt
Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-01

of satin and chiffon sleeves. The effect
is rather light and more airy If the
satin be very simple, drape we'll the
body of the waist and embroider to
match the skirt, just as was fashion
able last winter. The pointed belt and
with wide girdle are again to be intro
duced in the new evening gowns, while
more than ever is there an opportunity
to wear jewelled buttons and buckles,
furnished by the same girdles. Ex-
tremely beautiful and expensive are
many of the buttons and buckles, real
Jewels being used, rare antiques and
rhinestones, silver or gold In fact,

~HOOSING the winter outfit, or
~ things needed in the outfit; is al
ways a most agreeable task to
women who love clothes, especially
when they are not hampered by the
question of ways and means, and this
year the task will be even more de-
lightful than usual for surely there
never were so many exquisite colors
and materials to be had. The evening
gowns are perhaps the most attractive
of all in the outfit, and it would seem
as though Dame Fashion this season
had called to her aid an unusual num-
ber of good assortments in the design
of these gowns for surely it cannot be
that there ever was a time when the
lines were so graceful, the colors so ex-
quisite, the material so beautiful, and,
in fact, the whole effect so truly be-
coming that to be unbecomingly gowned
would be a heinous crime in this win
Ter of 1865.
There is even more difference than
usual this season in the various kinds of
gowns for the evening; there are dinner
gowns and there are ball gowns, and
all fashioned for their special uses.
The elaborate dinner gown does service
the difference is to be very marked so
that it will be necessary to have more
gowns than ever in order to be at
tired according to the fullest dictates
of dress.
A great deal is said about the short
skirt in the ball gown and the flimsy
gauze and nets that are so effective.
Dancing at ball in these very fabrics
has certainly been one reason why short
skirts have come into favor, for a long
skirt soon gets torn and shabby If it is
not of heavy enough material to resist
quite lot of wear and tear, and no
well gowned woman likes to feel at the
end of an evening that she looks shab-
by and her gown is spoiled: so that for
dancing short skirts are all very well.
But for dinner gowns, or for what are
known as ball gowns-not dancing
gowns, be it understood-long skirts are
as fashionable as ever, and for this let
every woman give a vote of thanks
for short skirt, except in dancing, is
never smart in the house and never
becoming with a low cut waist. It
needs the length of a train skirt for
woman to look her best, for, unless she
be abnormally tall, she should be
thankful for every inch of height. This
winter, unfortunately in one respect,
the train skirts will not be exception
ally long, the ground train effect hav-
ing gone out; but the regulation length
is a very attractive and graceful one.
and almost without exception becom-
ing, while its long lines will do a great
deal to show off the beauty of the ma
terial, and, as has been said, this years
materials are beautiful beyond com
pare.
Hand embroidery has been so popu-
lar for the last two or three years that
early this autumn it was a question if |
1t would not go out Of fashion, but
such perfection of workmanship has
been reached in it that it will still be
fashionable for some time to come.
This applies even more than anywhere
else to the embroidery on evening
gowns. where the work is so perfect,
the design SO beautiful and the finish

When Kansas began to hear from
Pennsylvania and New York and Ohio
Tuesday night she began to be a trifie
sorry that this was an "on year with
her. There was once a time not so
very long ago when Kansas had no off
years to the extent that she had no
election at all. Even K there were no
state ticket to get excited about. Kan
sas used to have a county election every
fall that answered the purpose.
But this year Kansas was compelled
to get along without a sign of an cleo
ton OF any kind. That Is why. when
the returns from Manhattan and the
Bronx began to show u3 there seemed
to be something lacking. It seemed as
through there ought to be something
about how the Second ward would go;
that somebody ought to inquire if there
had been any returns from Hutchinson,
and whether there had been much
scratching over the state.
The election returns habit is a good
deal like the jag habit. The election
returns topper is sad and lonesome when
returns are coming in from distant
places and there is nothing in which he
is personally interested, for to get any
keen enjoyment out of the election re-
turns one must take Sides
That is why Kansas was lonesome
when the returns were coming in Tues
day night. OF course she was interested
in Jerome and the big mayoralty fights
in Philadelphia and New York as well
as the state election in Ohio. but that
wasn't like having an election all Of her
own to get excited about.
Doing away with elections in off years
saves a lot of work and worry but it
has its Disadvantages in the eyes of the
election returns topper.

Incidentally Senator Foraker might
take a pencil and paper and figure out
from the Ohio election returns what
the people of that state think of his
attitude on the railroad regulation
proposition. He cannot get at it
definitely. of course, because the Anti
Saloon league said a few things in the
election about Governor Herrick per
sonaIly, and Herrick's connection with
Boss Cox of Cincinnati also had some
thing to do with the result.
The defeat of a Republican Iegis-
lature in Ohio could not be charged
entirely to Herrick's. door. The Re
publican state convention, at the insti-
cation of Senator Foraker. adopted a
railroad plank that didn't mean any
thing. except that the railroads were
not to be regulated in any way they do
not desire. Senator Foraker himself
is regarded as one Of the leaders of the
railroads side OF the coming fight in
the United States senate.
So If Senator Foraker will sit down
with the Ohio returns and have a little
conversation with himself, he may dis
cover that the people Of the Buckeye
state are with Roosevelt rather than
with Foraker on the railroad regula-
ton proposition; for no one will at
tempt to deny that Mr.. Roosevelt Is
