points of the pelerine, fastened by big
velvet buttons. These shaped cape or
pelerine folds were in cloth, with a
line of braid between, they were fin
ished in front with turned-back tabs
fastened by velvet buttons, and they
were cut very low both in front and
behind to show a waistcoat of the
grey velvet embroidered in gold and
silver thread. This also was cut low
before and behind over chemisette
of tucked lawn, with double killed
frill, like that on the shirts of the
dandies of a far-off generation, which
adorned the front. The cloth elbow
sleeves repeated the arrangement of
the original bodice, with buttoned
tabs above the lace frills, and cuff
of embroidered velvet below.
One of the most obvious facts of
fashion this year is the popularity
of the three-quarter coat In every
shop window of the big stores it al
luringly stretches it's length, and 1
doubt not that it will find it's purchas-
ers by the hundreds. 1t appears in
tweed, in cloth, in velvet, and is alike
found quite tight fitting, or tight fit
ting at the back and semi-ftting in the
front.
Velvets and velveteens are, we
know, to reign supreme this winter,
and charming waists and blouses will
be made of these beautiful fabrics
A new kind of velvet, soft of surface
as chiffon, but as firm of texture as
Genoa velvet, is amongst the new au-
tumnal possibilities of the wealthy,
but f&' the more frugal, velveteen
has amiably assumed very soft and
supple surface.

In the matter of couture, the heads

OF little consequence, for every head

expected places not always entirely
logical; but what is logic in the face
of fashion?
In millinery, ostrich feathers figure
largely for trimming decoration, and
the feathers grow hourly almost in
width and bulk-and price; the most
prodigal style of millinery showing a
monster specimen in green on a
tucked or stitched silk shape.

from these last we were going to have
an Arctic winter, till one remembered
that it is the motor, with it's whiz

extras.
Throw-over ties are less worn now.
Muffs are made very large to suit the
short-sleeved gowns that foolish fash

newest sort of big muff is not stiff
ened, but is more like an oval-shaped
sack, into which the arms, bare save

same softness of make, If the full size
of the muff is not required, it crushes

muffs as trimming when the same
decoration is used on the collar that
the muff will accompany. The har-

also most fashionable. 1t is becoming

The battle of the dressmakers over
the rival merits of the empire, the
Directoire, or the princess styles has
resulted, as such battles often do, in
each army Withdrawing within it's
borders, where it reigns supreme and
follows it's own bent. The princess
robe has still many followers, but it
cannot be denied that, even on an
impecable figure and cut by a master
hand, the princess robe has a hard,
stiff effect that is displeasing to an
aesthetic eye. Far more graceful are
the long, sweeping lines of the modi-
fed empire or directoire styles which,

those who appreciate quiet tones. The
skirt was quite plain except for a
band of cloth above the hem, which
was cut into mitred tabs, piped with
elephant grey velvet, each tab being
adorned with a fiat button of the
same velvet. In front the normal
place of the waist was marked by the
pointed waist-band Of velvet, much
braided with a fine old-fashioned mar
row silk braid in the same color; but
the waist-band narrowed at each side,

graceful folds, and where the waist

One of the oldest, safest and most
favorably known remedies ~an the
world to-day is Brandreth's Pills-a
blood purifier and laxative. Being
purely vegetable, they can be used by
old or young with perfect safety, and
while other remedies require increased
doses and finally cease acting alto
gether, with Brandreth's Pills the
same dose always has the same effect
no matter how long they are taken.
One or two pills taken each night for
while is the best thing known for
any one troubled with constipation, in
digestion, dyspepsia or any trouble
arising from impurity of the blood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in USE
for over century, and are for sale

The first thing to attend to in pre-
pairing the winter wardrobe is the
cleaning and freshening of the dresses
of last winter that were judged good
enough to pack away in the spring,
and the dyeing of the light gowns that
have faded with the past summers

it is more economical to have light
frocks turned into a color suitable
for wearing out in winter than to lay
them by for next summer, when they
will be as likely as not too demodes
to be worn. If the lining is removable,
