PARIS. Nov. 10-The tailor-made
robe is always in the ascendant when
the leaves fall and the wind blows
shrill, and this season 1 foresee
great access of Importance 1or
it. Certainly all the necessary in
gradients are present 1or plo,
nounced triumph; the cloths that are
so supple and of such lovely colors'
the yelvets that are so specially lumi-
nous this autumn, and the vast array
of braids and other decorative items
at our command for trimmings.
Then again, the immense vogue the
waistcoat has secured, always at lts
best when associated with the manlp-
ulation of a good tailor, helps toward
the triumph the tailor-made toilette VIII
without a doubt achieve.
Everybody seems determined to ex-
tol blue as a favorite autumn shade,
and there are most delightful grada-
tions of color in it. But the fact must
not be overlooked that there are new
shades in every color, and it Is the
newest ones that will necessarily be
the most modish, at any rate until
matters settle down little and this
or that dye comes into its own.
Among the browns there is no tint
more fashionable and more conspic-
uous at the moment than SOL or soil,
which provides an exquisite back
ground for furs and in particular i'm
perial sable, which is sail colored l

by clumps of ostrich feather. and IN
the most attractive cloths, both striped
and plain. I meet it in soft, satin
like fabric striped with velvet, and
only the other day saw this mate
rial and cloth used together most ef-
fectively.
II was a corselet gown, the skirt of
which was composed of cloth as sup
pie as silk. The striped material
played the part of a short coatee, de-
and cunningly cut, with ell
bow sleeves and hid the hard line that
is often so detrimental to the beauty
of a corselet skirt. With 1t a soft
ivory white chemisette was worn, and
a black silk tie, a mere note, but most
effective, and the sleeves were COM
pleted by ruckled folds of cambria like
the chemisette. Bols de rose is an
other lovely autumn tint, with vel
vet trimmings, buttons and tassels to
match.
To pursue the subject of colors,
there is olive to remember, once a
frequent sight among us, but OF
late too much neglected, admirable
with dark brown furs and ermine. 1
see many possibilities also for blue

corsage. China blue cloth upon a

Importance of the pale blue, looks

much used with blue to make II suffi-
ciently novel for the present moment.
but 1 much admire a mingling
of tomato with 1t, and also with satin
faced cloth of a very dark, invisible
or policeman, blue.
II occurs to me also to mention a
