- Scarlet taffeta Is being effectively
used in neat little coats, with small
gold buttons.
Raincoats show the influence of
empire styles, in stitchings, and yokes
that indicate, rather than actually en-
ploy, the high belt so marked in every
thing Of the empire.
For trimming Of dresses, made OF
the lighter weight woolens, velvet, In
little bows, finished with buckles of
nickel or brass; velvet bands, French
buttons-there are myriads Of styles of
these-tiny braids-all the straightfor-
ward trimmings that were ever good
In the past will be good this fall and
winter.
The black velvet ribbon around the
throat Is in use again, having come In
with Dutch necked blouses, which,
strange to say, are an arrival of winter
even more than Of summer. Another
swiftly returning fashion Is that Of hair
bows, which are mostly seen In upright
bows of black velvet, and long ends and
rosettes Of 1t are added to the tulle
ruches.
White-not only in the lighter
weight woolen fabrics, but in batiste,
handkerchief linens, all-over lace-will
be as good as II not better than during
the summer. But all such evening
dresses will be worn over slips Of silk
good rustling taffeta, II it's an en-
tire dress; china silk, II a blouse-and
blue, pink and lavender will be good
foundation colors.
The pretty elbow sleeves will not
pass out of sight with the summer
gowns On the contrary the dressy
winter gowns will display the short
sleeves. Silk blouses, too, will be Of the
elbow length. They will be worn with
undersleeves of lace or embroidered
day wear will have the long coat
sleeves, but the jaunty little Etons
will be made with elbow sleeves
to be worn over blouses. Short
sleeves are as definitely estab-
lished in both suits and dresses as is
the circular skirt. It Is said that long
gloves and extremely large muffs, into
which a woman can thrust her arms to
the elbows, make short sleeves possi-
BILE for winter. With dresses soft kid
gloves will be worn. With suits the
heavier calf skin gloves-pocket edi-
tions Of mems gloves-are best.
Though last winters velvets were
lovely, those of this season surpass
them in quality and in variety. The
cottonback chiffon velvets are shown In
beautiful colorings, but 1t is, Of course,
in the all silk velvets that triumphs
have been attained. One may have
them in plain color, and so soft, light
and supple that they make the old
time velvet seem a clumsy stuff. Rib
bed silk velvet or silk corduroy Is also
offered In all the new colorings and Is
considered very chic for street cost
umes. Pompadour velvets. floral panne
and short haired plush upon which a
design appears to be printed or paint
ed, are among the novelties, as are
beautiful striped velvet and satin ma
terials. Even newer are exquisite NOUS
seline silks embossed with velvet, flow
ers in the same tone or a lighter or
darker shade Of the same tone, giving
what Is called a cameo effect, and SIM
liar materials show velvet flowers In
natural hues upon contrasting grounds.
Silk will be used, too, for indoor dress
es; and crepe de chine Of the richer
grades, such as mirrored crepe de
chine. will be among the richest Of all
indoor fabrics.
-Surplice styles have lost none of
the popularity they enjoyed in early
spring and summer; in fact, they've
become even more popular than before,
Curiously enough, they can be juggled
with so as to be successful for almost
every type Of figures. Made on tight
boned foundation, with just little
fullness, and that judiciously arranged,
a surplice dress makes a large woman
take on Simmer lines: yet can be
treated so that II fills out too slender
a figure in the prettiest possible way.
Never were wells so pretty. There
Is the rough edged auto scarf In Alice
blue and all shades. 1t has a satin
border In the same shade. Then there
is the heavily embroidered chiffon,
adorned with punches Of flowers. A
one yard wide shawl chiffon In white Is
exceedingly effective with a dainty fig
ured border of black A fine mesh
black veil Is dotted all over with little
birds, outlined in small dots. A cream
chiffon veil has a two inch fancy bor-
der Of black with the suggestion Of
delicate pink flowers running through
1t. Chantilly lace wells with a plain
mesh and decided flower border are to
be had in all shades, and are really ef-
fective and dressy.
- The choice of hats and trimmings at
the present time is wide. Anything Is
worn from the flower encircled straw
to the picturesque lace or crinoline hat,
which may be bent into any angle be-
coming to the features Of the wearer.
Just now 1t Is the tilt Of the hat and
the acute angle at which feather or
wing is placed that is of supreme i'm
portance. Many of the smartest first
hats are in gray, with lighter and
darker tones of the same color for re-
lief and a dash of green or crimson In
the shape of a feather, scarf or veil
Quills and long slim wings are being
used on the under brim of flaring side
effects. Owl wings mounted on either
side Of the owl heads are being shown
in a variety of most wonderful colors.
These are particularly attractive in the
dull grays and browns mingled with
harmonizing pinks and greens. There
are long feathers, short feathers, broad
feathers and narrow feathers. The
wing Is considered the most desirable
effect and Is being brought out in all
sorts of varieties. The colors Of these
feathers are particularly attractive,
since they are shown in every desirable
shade. Coque feather in every variety
of arrangements is being shown for
trimming effects on under brims.
Wells drape some of the new hats, and
are drawn back, floating In a sort Of
soft airy loveliness which Is a Won
derfully attractive trimming in itself.
Under some of them gold braids and
trimmings are applied. but instead of
the glare Of gilt there is only an occa-
sional CLINT and sparkle.
Tailored linen stocks have been
worn with tailored shirt waists all
summer, but the number of such shirt
waists worn in hot weather Is small In
comparison with the number of sheer
lingerie blouses. With the approach
of autumn, however, there has been an
increase of interest in tailored waists
and consequently in stocks. Small
tinted colorings to match similar belt
buckles are used upon some stocks with
good effect and plain buttonholed rings
hold the tabs or tie in the front of
several good silk or linen stocks.
French knots or embroidered dots or
nament many of the French lingerie
stocks and cravats. and other models
with simple ends tied once or with
