- Boleros. yokes and other trimmings
Of lace are used upon blouses OF chif-
fon or net and broad girdles Of lace
are also fancied.
What Is called baby Irish" Is one
Of the popular waist laces, which is
simply an imitation Irish lace with
an exceedingly diminutive pattern.
-S Silk waists, particularly those OF
clan tartans, are going to be popular
with the gray coat suits, which will be
much worn. Hand embroidered blouses
are likely to be worn through the en-
tire winter.
Gowns for autumn wear show
more simplicity, both in make and
trimming, but light colors are still IA
vored and many Of the toilets ar
ranged for travelling are Of tweed and
homespun in very light mixtures, and
simply relieved with collar and cuffs
of velvet in a bright, contrasting tone
or strapped with silk Of deeper TINT
-Radium, crepe de chine, eolienne
and chiffon are likely to be the leading
silks for the winter. There are beauti-
full silks, too, having this shot black and
white ground-whose effect is some
what like cleaning gun metal-and
blurred masses or little punches OF ros-
es in soft faded colors scattered over
the surface.
The plan Of gathering and shirring
the tops of thin skirts Is still In vogue,
so that skirts so treated last year will
do now with trifiing change of trim
mings. The shirring, however, Is pref
tier when given the effect Of gathers
at the top Of a skirt, and not done In
an underneath tuck. Folds are quite
prominent in autumn trimmings, and
come in all widths, from mere piping
to one as wide as a hem. They are
used both as a beading and border to
fiounces and to scant frills or fine lace.
Some of the prettiest gowns for fall
indoor wear are carried out In black
taffeta, which in combination with
white has a way of carrying all before
it in it's simple effectiveness, as COM
pared with the busy elaboration OF
frills and furbelows. One Of these Is
fitted with the elongated sleeve OF
white lace, the taffeta coming out over
the shoulders in epaulette effect, and
another has the original feature OF
white chiffon sleeves arranged in two
large double puffs, caught with loose
straps of the taffeta, that recall the
slashing effects of the King Charles
period.
THE double box plait, broad and
fiat up the middle Of the front, and
the straight up and down plaits, turn
ing back each way from the middle
band, are two of the old but becoming
shapes which are seen in some Of the
best winter waists. All varieties OF
the yoke and shoulder piece, to which
the fullness is gathered, are also In
evidence. The collars are nearly all
straight bands with small cravat ef-
fects added in silk, and the sleeves up
on all blouses, be they Of the fanciful
or shirt waist order, are buttoned up
between the wrist and the elbow.
Turned down collars, embroidered or
beautifully hemstitched, will also be
worn.
The separate blouse Is not so modish
as the blouse forming an integral part
Of a costume, but it is a tremendously
useful item in a wardrobe, and will be
worn. White is the most popular color
for the dressy general utility blouse
as is always the case, and the white
lace blouse-particularly If 1t be In
Irish or cluny Of good quality-is first
in feminine hearts. If the lace Is good
1t needs but little trimming only
enough tulle or chiffon or val to soften
its outlines, and some sort of smart
girdle. Blouses Of fine lace are also In
favor, but are usually of a more COM
plicated fluffy style, and in the long
run less serviceable. Sheer satin finish
ed silks in white or delicate tint are
made into dainty blouses with deep
girdles Of fine shirred pin tucks.
The new ribbons are marvelously
lovely and are used in many forms be-
sides the traditional girdle and sash.
Even the very broad ribbons are so
supple and gossamerlike in texture that
they can be crushed into surprisingly
small compass. Charming results may
be obtained by running these wide
mousseline ribbons in and out through
the meshes of Irish lace and other
heavy laces, in all sorts Of fanciful
ways. Wide soft ribbons are folded
into fichulike corsage trimmings and
into draped waistcoats, are used for
whole boleros and little coats, are set
into skirts with open stitching or with
lace bands, are used for revers and
cuffs and girdles and knots and bows.
Wide lustrous ribbons with shot black
and white ground have flower de-
signs in massed roses running through.
The American Beauty shades or the

tractive and are allied successfully
with many colors.
- Richness and gorgeousness to a
degree that would be barbaric were
the results not so harmonious in color
and so beautiful in line, are charac-
teristic of a great number Of the new
trimmings, and gold, silver and other
metallic effects enter into many, but
embroidery is the feature that runs
riot everywhere. Embroidery appli-
ques of every imaginable style are
offered. Embroidery Is done in silk,
in gold, in silver, in ribbon, in woods.
Lace and ribbon are combined in
band trimmings whose design Is ac-
centuated by little loose clusters Of
tiny ribbon blossoms in faint, pale
colors, Quivering on slender little
stems of rubber covered with gray
green silk. Lace is as popular as
ever, and not only are the Irish,
Cluny, Renaissance, Venetian and
other heavy laces and the fine valen-
ciennes, Mechlin. Chantilly, and Allen
con laces used in profusion, but there
are scores of fancy laces made of
