Louis coat with applications OF white thread
braidng. All are stylish. \ new touch on
many of these pique gowns Is a coat facing
of pink and green taffeta. With these fac
ingS small open waistCoat of silk fastened
with gold or porcelain buttons is generally
worn. Nothing is prettier than this dash
of color on the white ensemble.
Tailored effects In linen and pique are
trimmed with turnover collar and cuffs or
colored velvet and buttons OF the same ma
terfal inclosed In rims of white pearl. For
persons in mourning there is new duh fin
ished back canvas that is being made up
into August travelling frocks in suspender
style and worn with blouses of black silk
null. fish net or Japanese silk. When
mourning costume IS not desired the black
crash is made up to be worn with white
lingerie waists, and the coat collars
trimmed with Irish lace or heavy linen en-
brodery. | hardly like the contrast. but
with the black gown half shoes and stock
ings OF ruSSet are permissible.
Striped taffeta silk gowns are to be very
much worn this fall in shadow effects and
have taken the place of the checks so long
favOriteS in the silk world. 4 charming
dress is of black and white pin striped tai
feta. with the skirt laid In tiny plaits around
the waist for several inches. Just above
the knee IS a bias fiounce put on with
piping of black velvet. The bloused waist
mas d ' opening Dack ana front OF SWISS
embroidery and pointed bias bretelles of silk
piped with velvet The three-Quarter
sleeves a series of puffs and a black vel
vet ceinture encircles the trim waist \
quaint gown is of gooseberry green SILK.
The bodice has kimOno shaped elbow sleeves
cut in one with the waist itself and trim
med with old-fashoned ruffles having shr
red headings. The shaw-like collar Is In
set with battlemented pieces of white cord
ed silk stitched a number of times with
green. The fitted girdle Is of stitched white
silk. and rosettes, from which dangle white
taSSelS, ornament the front of the bodice.
The skirt has a killed tiounce TO the knee.
trimmed about with tablier effect, carried
out with puftings.
There seems to be no doubt that color
microbes exist and that different microbes
find vulnerable at different times and
seasons. That the mauve species is around
IS proved without a question If one uses her
eyes when among smartly gOwned women.
In all tones 1t seems to dominate the sea-
sons color scheme and with new shade of
dahlia will hold its own during the autumn
and winter.
l encountered the other day a dainty little
frock that well could be called a nature
study carried out into mauVe. The frock
was one OF those filmy. chiffony creations
evolved with Cream-colored lace to tighten
the purple effect. The hat of mauve tulle
worn with the costume reSembled an orchid
in delicate toning. and this impression was
wonderfully aided by the crown, encirCled
by feather of pale brown from which Il
trail of brown tule wound itself around the
neck and fell over the froCk in front.
japanese net lace IS a fall dress trimming
the courtureres are approving. and these
high and mighty people have also set their
seal of favor on Byzantine embroidery
which is very bright in colorng and bar
barrie in splendor. 4 belt or girdle of this
embroidery will smarter up an old gown
and give 1t quite air of distinction
