FOR THE LADIES.
Helpful Hints on What to Wear and
How to Wear 1t.
Capes are quite "out Of style'' these
days.
overdressing is greater crime
than Embarrassing.
Wear jewelled bracelet or two on
your tightly .gloved forearm.
Collars and cuffs Of colored linen
touch up the seasonable suit Of white
mohair.
Small handbags Of gold or gilt
mesh are the most interesting of all
the new styles of autumn.
.Maline is coming into prominence
as a hat trimming. 1t is something
puffy for the backs Of hats.
Rich cream velvet simply made is
a suggestion that will be adopted by
many autumn brides for fashionable
wedding gowns.
Oval buckles of pearl, two and
half inches long, come in all the fash
ionable colors-gray, blue, moss
green, purple toning to lavendar, etc.
Kid gloves of a brilliant brick red
are striking and will be worn very
much this fall. Tea gowns are new.
They are the shade Of that fragrant
flower.
Many of the new fur coats exenp-
lisying the fad of the short sleeve,
heavy kid gloves to the elbow will be
worn and will. make up for the abb
sence Of sleeves.
The elbow sleeve is as fashionable
as ever, for very dressy toilette and
as often as not it is shirred down the
center, giving a very dainty finish to
the waist or coat.
One Of the newest devices in the
way of lingerie ought to be widely
adopted. This is none other than a
silk founce, India or taffeta, to but
ton on a white petticoat at the knee.
Reds in various shades will be
very conspicuous The orchid shades
will be much affected for evening
wear, and the deeper shades merg-
ing into plum, will be sen on the
street, while blue Of all shades will
be equally popular.
Velvet flowers and foliage are to be
quite a feature of the new fall and
winter millinery. American beauty
roses made entirely Of velvet with
stem and leaves of a rich shade Of
green velvet, will be popular.
A return to black costumes seems
to be g, present fancy, and now it
seems imperative that every wardrobe
must have at least one such costume
within its bounds These suits are
intended for quite dressy affairs, and
are made Of net OR lace over taffeta
or Of the various voiles, which must
also, of course, be made over silk. The
use Of blue with black is one Of the
features of the season and the green
ish blues, turquoise and peacock have
first place. A touch of gold, too, is
considered extremely smart.
Weaves Of the cashmere class have
supplanted the long popular voiles
and etamines in feminine favor, al
though the latter are still worn, and
collennes retain their vogue for house
wear. Velvet and lace are, in nine cas-
es out Of ten, called into service for
trimming the soft wool frock, and
gulmpes or chemisettes Of real lace
Duchesse, point, Irish, ETC., are often
the note of elegance upon frock
otherwiwse quite simple. Pipings Of
silk, embroidered bands and motifs
OF taffeta or velvet, supple ribbon
trimming shirred by pulling threads
along one edge, exquisite passemen-
teries, braids plain Or embroidered,
bands of finely tucked silk and all
sorts of trimmings are used upon
the wool frocks.
Favorite colors among the new
evening dresses are pastel blue,
mauve, rose-pink, the light apricot
tint that has sprung into sudden
popularity, ivory white and pale
green. A successful dress in pale
gray crepe de chene, figured in blur
red pinks and blues, was finished
around the feet with wilderness of
plated frills edged with lace. Above
the flounces came a heading Of pale
green ribbon the beautif1111 sheen
