Gloves of Havana Brown.

Long gloves in kid to be extensively
used again this coming season. In either
the twelve or sixteen button lengths they
will be worn with s mple tailor suits for
morning and business use or with smart
frocks for afternoon carriage wear.
Browns. both the tan and Havana shades
will be most popular with yellowish tans.
gray in the medium shades. colors to
match costumes, and CT course black. For
dress the glace kid VIII be used exclusively
for long suedes will not be stylish
The long dog and pig skin gloves for
morning business and outdoor usage are a
novelty, but will be most serviceable for
wear with the short Sleeved jackets that
are to be favorites again this fall and WIN
ter. These gloves. either in the twelve or
sixteen button lengths, fasten with neat
brass clasps that give to the skins stun
ming effect which buttons could not lend.
The glace kids in green, tan or brown
for dress do not have brass fasteners, in
stead they are adorned W tn dainty pearl
buttons, made like the ones used on shoes.
These are put through the Kid on tapes so
that they are secure and do not pull out as
the old-fashioned ones that were sewed on.
The buttons are about a quarter of an
inch in diameter and being round aDd I'M
usual looking because of the opalescent
pearl are stunning any of the light
shades-of kid. The seams in these gloves
are all neatly done in what is technically
called the "overseam'' style. The dog and
pigskin gloves are finished with the regu-
lation rough seams. such as have always
been used on the heavy street varieties.
These gloves. whether for dress or bust
ness, sell for S225. in the twelve-button
length and for $3.50 in the sixteen-button.

Never, even in the land of the sultan,
have wells been more popular with woman
kind than here at present. Every other

row that 1t Is like hunting for needle in a
haystack, and forthwith meekly takes what
is offered her.
One OF the most modish patterns in

larity, Is a plain dotted net either with the

pleating of chiffon.
The Brussels net wells come in a variety
of patterns from the rose design showing
tiny roses scattered delicately over a plain
net surface to the more elaborate vines
and flowers with heavy ornate borders,
which give the wearer the appearance of
being tattooed.
Fancy meshes with ornate scroll-like
borders are fancied by some, though the
style selected is largely matter of taste
rather than mandate of fashion.
AS to the method of draping the new
wind wells, they are attached in three
ways Perhaps the smartest. which fol-
lows the style most modish in Paris. is the
long veil reaching quite to the waist in
the back. which Is draped artistically
about the hat. pinned up slightly In the
back and caught together at the nape of
the neck with a fancy veil pin, the length
of material flowing free from that point to
the waistline and often below. The style
is extreme, and it takes a woman with
considerable chic to wear it.
Simply drapng the veil easily about the
face. catching it comfortably to the brim
of the hat at the back and allowing it to
fall gracefully about the neck and Shout
ders is perhaps the style most popular. An
adaptation of the same style to the French
idea is obtained by pinning the folds of
the veil at the. nape of the neck with
fancy pin.

Don'ts for Tall Women.

Don't select the smallest chair in your
friends drawing rooms. 1t may suit your
fairylIlke sister to sit on a stool with her
hands cIasping her knees, but you should
cultivate the stately.
Don't choose the shortest person in the
room to talk to. and SO call attention to
your undue height
Don't, when choosing a new frock, select
stripes or those with a trimming from
waist to hem. BY wearing a well-cut wide
skirt trimmed round and round. you can
take at least an inch off your height.
Don't, says Woman's Life. crown your
heads with lofty hats or a high couture.
Dress your hair rather full and curl 1t
fairly low. Wear moderate sized hats that
have no outstanding plumes.

PARIS FASHIONS

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
PARIS. October eat this moment we
are engaged in deeply interesting discus
sion over here in Paris. Are We to have
a masculine outline of figure this winter or
feminine? In other words, we to be
aristcaly draped by the dresSmaker or
nodded by equally clever tailors? The
armies are drawn W and the battle Is
already on, and 1t remains to be seen which
side will win. L have a feeiinS-one of
those womanly intuitions that are sure
thing-that there WILL be a compromise
and that we shah this season be both mas
cuhne and feminine in the affair of outline.
We shall certainly wear tailor-made jack
cts falling into the figure without being
tight fitting. in the true masculine fashion,
but we shall also in the afternoons and
evenings be intensely feminine in the mat
ter of fussy frills and trailing draper1es.
There Ii one thing the modes absolutely
demand, and that is a good fitting corset.
One OF your leading American papers re-
Gently had an article on Modern f'rer CHI
Corsets' in which II was stated that
straight fronted corsets distorted the figure
and were injurious to health. The first and
