fashions thi season-unusuauy so- stitched hands of silk or velvet of the color of the gown material being hrst in avor. Ribbon ruffies are frequently used to border them. and are also used by themselves in place Of circular flounces. There is a new flat bead trimming that is very attractive, succession of conventional flower shapes connected with vine, the pe- tals and leaves forming uneven scal- lops. The coloring are supposed to De natural that is if the design IS violet, then violet shades are introduced; for get-me-nots show the proper blues, etc.,
 Something in the way of novelty IS the use of beads. A dress trimmed with passementeries or other flat garnt- ture of the same shade has the design picked out with colored beads, various sizes being used. On evening gowns and separate waists certain people have in this way found q new use for gold and pearl bands, and some of the effects at which they have arrived are marvellously pretty, if a trifie ultra.
 The new hats which at first thought seem rather hopeless, are really to be classed under two distinct heads, the urban and brimmed styles. But, oh! the nyriads of variations! To say thta you desire a turban may mean round square, or pointed shape tip-tilted over the face in close proximity to the nose caught up abroptly at one side or indented at intervals all around; a brimmed creation suggests to your mil- liner the same wide scope; so there is nc reason at all why any woman may not find a hat particularly suited to herself if she will take the trouble to hunt for it.
 Soft, smooth French felt is the ma- terial of which the early autumn hats are made, and when the hat does not match the costume. it is apt to be gray, any one of the numerous shades, ranging from slate to pearl or oyster white. Around this. if it happens to be one of the small, pointed turbans, will be wound a cheery-looking plaid or Roman-striped scarf, with the two long quills thrust through the knot on the side. For dressy occasions, the Dolly Warden hat will continue the same popularity in felt that it has during the past season in straw. The Napolenic creations seem to have att tained a height of favor long ago sought and not found. One example is in gray French felt, with the inevitable long plume that characterizes this type curled over the very edge of the high-turned rim at the left side, the space beneath being filled with a cluster of pink satin rosettes The plume Is silver-gray, deepening toward the tip to rose pink,
 In a case of odd belongings" noted at one of the Fifth Avenue shops, there were some pretty handmade things which were well worth mentioning. A surplice collar suggestive of wear with an afternoon costume was made of deep cream -colored taffeta, cut in four rounded points, front, back, and one over each shoulder. Around the edge was a handsome appllque-a single de- sign-and above this an applique ot cream lace, with the uneven points I nearly covering the collar proper. Edging the entire collar was knife plating of chiffon.
 Another effective yoke to be applied separately to the gown was fashioned on a net foundation, beautiful little medallions of lace and colored motifs intermixed and the whole forming three sections, the centre two inches longer than the ones at the sides.-New York Evening Post.
