FORWOMEN
A Stunninn Costume

stunning Oostume
At Longchamp's last Sunday, says a
/ Paris letter, the colors Of the costumes
were especially remarkable. The aut-
umn tints were everywhere. Bordeaux,
| golden brown, green, amber, gold,
| brilliant blue, mauve and violet fasci-
| mated the eye. Directoire styles were
dominant I'm very many of the richest
costumes, and one coat was directoire
and empire all I'm one. 1t had bolero
suggestions, which are also empir-
esque. This hybrid was worn by wo-
man Of great chic. 1t was made of
| Bordeaux drap amazone, and around
the full plated skirt were very many
rows of soutache braid. The coat was
also plated. 1t fitted tightly about
the waist and hips and then fell loose
ly to below the knees. Peau de cygne
had been used to face to the draped
directoire revers and we'll down at
the line of the breast was a soutache-
trimmed band of the cloth This sug-
gests the short wasted empire effect,
although one has already thought Of 1t
as bolero.
Adaptation In Trimming
Delightfully."- original trimming
schemes can be designed to meet the
fall fashions, and they can be twisted
and altered and turned about to suit
wearer. If the round-and-round style
of skirt decoration that is SO popular
prove unbecoming-it is undeniably
trying to the short girl, and absolutely
disfiguring to an overly stout figure
then the trimming can be arranged In
Van Dyke points or in the novel picket
fence style. When the skirt is Of the
many-gored variety the cores are
trimmed in straight lines to about the
knee.
Homemade Work Basket
The medium-sized Japanese straw
bathing hat makes a pretty work bas-
ket. The crown is dented inward, maxi
ing a receptacle, when lined with satin
or silk, for sewing implements; scissors.
kept in place by band of ribbon sewed
into the lining; a pin cushion attached
also to the lining, and pad for needles.
The hat is bound with ribbons, and the
edges are curled up all around, further
carrying out the workbasket idea. Red
satin Is very pretty for a lining.
RevivIng Black Lace
To revive black lace, make some
black tea about the strength usual for
drinking, and strain it off the leaves.
Pour enough tea in a basin to cover
the quantity of lace, let it stand ten
or twelve hours, then squeeze it sew
frequently in the tea, which at length
will assume a dirty appearance. Have
ready some weak gum water and press
the lace gently through it, Then clap
it for a quarter of an hour, after which
pin 1t to a towel in any shape which
you wish it to take. When nearly dry
cover it with another towel and iron
it with a cool iron
Italian Risso
Mix two cups of boiled rice with
three quarters of a cup OF stewed to-
matoes. Season with salt and pepper
and grated cheese. The cheese should
be rich and old and dry, and pungent.
Use from quarter to half a cup of the
cheese, according to the taste. Add
from six to eight slices of crisped ham,
chopped fine. Strew a few bits of but
ter, through the mixture, put all into
an earthen baking dish, and bake in
a moderate oven about fifteen min
utes. Serve hot with sprigs of parsley
and slices of lemon.
For Bride Cake
Bride cakes filled with small gold and
silver favors are the newest fad for
fall weddings. The proverbial wedding
ring, silver thimble and copper cent,
are still put in, but now miniature au-
tomobiles, tiny silver skates, golden
wishbones, stickpins, etc, will create
mild sensation when the cake is
cut.
New in Bracelets
Rose gold is employed in new models
in wide bracelets, handsomely chased
and set with gems. Gold braid is SIM
ulated in half-inch bands, with the
bracelet catch under a rosette formed
of the braid, and many other novel
styles are shown.
