 blue shade known as pansy The skirt
 was seen in broadclOth of the purple was moderately long, as skirts worn under very long coats must necessarily
 be, It was laid in close side plaits, fin- CT than the plaits of last season, and
 fared generously at the hem. The red
 ingote had a slightly pointed yoke over which a collar and reVers of velvet
 overlaid with cut-out cloth was ar-
 ranged. Under the yoke the redingOte
 was plaited, the plaits being invisibly
 stitched to a point a little below the
 waist. Despite the amount of cloth
 used there was no bulkiness, and the figure of the wearer looked as slim and
 graceful as possible. The skirt of the redingote fell in plaits, and fiared at the hem to match the skirt Of the gown. A plain front panel fastened
 nearly to the knees with handsome enamel buttons The sleeves were drap ed at the shoulders, and were, in fact, modified leg-Of-muttOn. 4 turned-back gauntlet cuff was of velvet overlaid 1 with cutout cloth like the collar and revers.
 In these balny autumn days one sees , numbers of pretty street gowns, skirt 1 and bodice suits, which have super seded the useful shirtwaist gown. The 1 checks and plaids have it all their own 1 way in these costumes. A bright tar l tan gown was conspicuous in the shop ping district early in the week. The l skirt was laid in fine plaits in groups of five. The skirt was untrimmed, saved for several rows of stitching 1 above the deep hem. The waist was cut round to show a glimpse of eye l letted batists, flat collar outlining the l decollete. The bodice was plaited down 1 the front, two straps buttoning across.
 A folded girdle of dark blue velvet was
 in evidence. The sleeves were full el- bow -puffs, and long gloves of dark i blue kid were worn.
 Another pretty gown was of black | and white shepard's plaid, of which we l have not yet grown tired, it appears. | The skirt was box-plaited, the edges of 1 the plaits being stitched as far as the
 knees. The full bodice was laid in small
 side plaits from the shoulders, the plaits extending half way down the
 waist. The neck was cut in seal | loped square, and had an embroidered l linen and glimpse and collar. With the | gown was worn very wide belt of turquoise blue leather fastened with
 brass buckle. The color was repeated
 in a necklace of turquoise beads worn | +Io ay.+a nf f1J,. 1 quoise hats accompanied this costume. 1 The material was black erin. and the only trimming three short black ost- rich tips, gracefully disposed.
 | The first view of the millinery open i ings is rather disconcerting. The I shapes are so eccentric and the angles at which they are placed on the waxen heads of the models so alarming that | one despairs at the prospect. Yet by l patient searching many simple and l beautiful hats are to be found. Among l simple hats this season a round shape 1 called the miller's hat is very attrac- | tive. This hat has low crown, domed
 at the top, and rolling brim, often
 caught up at the back and sometimes I on the side. pretty model was in l SOLL WHlCS I6ll, lu0 utIu6f UTlIll UelHS 1 lined with rich blue chiffon velvet.
 The hat was raised on a bandeua in the
 back but was not excessively tipped.
 The trimming was small bunch of l shaded blue roses in front, and extend-
 ing from the roses very long, hand
 some blue ostrich plume. The feather crossed the crown and was caught in
 the back where it dropped far down 1 over the hair.
 Another was sofe furry beaver in
 a brilliant black. It was trimmed
 around the crown with a wide silver ! braid which ended in smart bow on
 the left side, where was also white 1 ostrich pompon. This hat rolled sharp ly in the back and there was cache
 peigue of black satin ribbon. Tulle is being extensively used in hat trim
 mings. A black hat trimmed with
 many ruches of white tulle, two white
 ostrich plumes, and a white aigrette
 was prominently displayed at a recent opening. The shape was wide brim-
