come. To begin with, there are some
charming examples of the Empire
coats that every woman of taste loves.
One of green broad cloth was very
simple, but extremely smart. 1t had
a wide all round border of cut out
embroidery with a scalloped edge, and
the yoke and cuffs were piped with
a darker shade of green. A velvet
collar was decorated with French
knots in a lighter shade of green and
with medallions of lace, the edge be
ing finished with a heavy twisted
cord. The puffed sleeve had a deep
haring stuff within which were frills
of chiffon and lace.
Another Empire coat was of very
dark olive green broadcloth. The up
per part was heavily braided with silk
soutache, and the velvet collar in a
lighter shade of green was decorated
with French knots n a green and
white silk cord. Beautiful buttons Of
dull silver with a leaf design in re-
lief and a few tiny rhinestones finish
ed this beautiful wrap. A smart little
waist seen in the same department
had a bolero Jacket of black baby
Irish lace over a pink chiffon. 1t
opened over %pleatings of lace and chif-
fon, the whole blousing over a wide
pink satin girdle. The sleeves were
of elbow length and were finished
with pleatings of lace and chiffon.
Little leather blouses, made in the
palest shades of cream, tan and gray
are taking the place of the summer
shirts, both for motoring and driving,
and for wearing with tweed skirts in
Fh- antt1otry~ These arc beautifully
soft, having the appearance of satin,
and will be worn more than anything
else this winter.
A lovely gown, suitable for autumn
wear, is Of fine black cloth, the long,
flowing skirt handsomely trimmed
with large diamonds of black velvet,
outlined with wide black silk braid
With it is worn a short black velvet
bOlero, arranged with strap effect OF
the same braid that figures on the
skirt. A touch of l.shtness is intro
duced by a collar n cuffs and I'M
dervest of white glace inlet with old
rose cloth, embroidered with the finest
pale green and white braid. A deeI
black waistband tightly folded under
the bolero and fastened with three
large black buttons Sc in gold rims
complete this costume.
Cashmere is once more en- vogue fol
house dresses and for morning gowns
The colOrs are usually light grays
delicate shades of brown and the sim
pie trimmings are of peacock green
or ochre, Thin corduroy, with its be
coming yelyety lines, and in tense sill
yer gray or chestnut, is also coming
into favor for coates, and is admir-
ably suited for automobile wear. Jack
cts are also made of thin, velyet-silk
corduroy of half length, Many of the
Empire dresses have extremely higi
waists, so that the skirts mount eI
corselet, so high as 10 form a sort o
blouse or bolero.
Never before has so much attention
been paid to underwear. 1t is of gOs
samer thinness, TO enable TO dress IL
self to disclose the outlines of tn,
form. II is to comply with this new
law Of fashion that the combined IN
dergarment' has come into favor, Thi

incrusted with light Bruges lace
There are fOunces to the lower poI
