ton jewelry. 1t was thought exceedingly
bad form to wear ornament that was
not real But the art of today has
changed all that, and many ornaments
not intrinsically of value are beautiful
enough in design and workmanship to be
classed as objects of art and worn by
the well-bred woman without question.
Vulgarity only comes when the ornament
pretends to be something it is not and
the wearer wishes to give that false i'm
preston. Still sham, we all know, is the
worst kind of bad taste in everything.
A smart new buckle, designed by a
famous silversmith and to be worn on
one of the new embroidered linen belts
made for a fall wooden gown, is of hand
wrought gold, adorned with bits of jade
set in Egyptian winged design. This
combination by The way, of linen belt
with wool frock is one of the latest
novelties. Apropos of belts, Nine. Letel-
lier. the beautiful and charming wife of
the clever Partisan artist, mas introduced
a new ceinture. the ''mousmee." AS one
might suppose, it is of Japanese parentage
and consists of a broad ribbon effect car
ried up about the figure and disposed at
the back in a fiat outstanding bow. AS
concession to western ideas the hard lines
of the mousmee are softened by loosely
falling fronts

notably the embroidered giant of suede in
long and short lengths. And another touch
of the season is the glace glove with in
sets of a contrasting or harmoniZing color.

even by the Partisan, is a thing of the
past. and it is an exception to see
modish mondaine wearing with her walking
costume anything h CHER than twO-inch
heel. There are all sorts of eXtravagant
fances in house and party slippers and
pumps. but even in this class the ''tiptoe'
effect is missing.

For Dress Occasion.

For dressy street wear, church and the
like, two-piece suit of velveteen in some
becoming shade would be dressy and quite
inexpensive. The velveteen suit this sea-
son is a positive economy. If made of a
fast-dye English velveteen it will carry all
the fine finish of the silk velvets and wear
well any wool fabric which might
buy at a greater expense. With this might
be worn pretty lace or net waist or one
of silk persuasion.
Costumes for evening wear, both formal
and informal, were never more beautiful
and at the same time more varied than
they are this season, is quite safe
in selecting anything which suits the fancy
or more particularly the pocketbook from
the counter and shelves of the large metro
politan stores. A pretty and inexpensive
silk will make up charmingly. Net is an
other fabric much used this season.
After having provided necessary street
and evening clothes We come to the negli-
gee garments which every business woman
needs in hours of relaxat ton. Soft dainty
challiS of becoming colorS make up pref
tily into fetching and fascinating dressing
sacques, which can be worn with a sepa-
rate skirt when receiving a friend very in
formally, or with a pretty petticoat when
quite alone. With a comfortable kimono
for lounging and the necessary amount of
pretty and not too dainty lingerie-for it
does not wear well-the business woman
will find herself amply provided with a
wardrobe for the coming winter season.
Neat and dainty stocks should be an inn
portant feature of the business woman's
wardrobe, for collars often become soiled
before the shirt waist and need constant
changing to enable the wearer to make a
presentable appearance. Shoes and gloves
are two other accessories about which
there never should be a shadow of doubt
to their freshness and it were better to

these adjuncts irreproachable in appear

A Word Tor Girls.

No matter how pretty girl may be. II
she is untidy it seriously detracts from her
beauty.
The plain girl, Of course, can still less
afford to be untidy, but she need have no
qualms about being pleasant to look upon
if she keeps herself exquisitely neat and
dainty, for neatness and daintiness have
beauty all their own.
Many a mans interest in girl has been
checked because he found her untidy about
her home.
Neatness is the foundation of good style
in dress. A gown may be absolutely up
to-date in every respect, but If 1t is put on
in a slovenly fashion the effect is spoiled
Unblackened shoes a button off a
glove will spoil the smartest costume. No
hat can look pretty when perched on an
untidy head, says Home Chat.
Never neglect your personal appearance,
girls make yourselves as neat and pretty
as you can. 1t viii add fifty per cent to
your attractiveness.

PARIS FASHIONS

PARIS September %, 1906.
- ICHARD Steele / think it was,

N described a certain heroine as al

so charming that you would think
1t impossible she could change her garb for
anything more becoming Dame Fashion
is evidently of the same opinion concern
ing her late summer sartoral master
pieces This foxy" old lady knows that
she about reached the height of all her
greatness in these modes, and, realizing
the success of her efforts. she is going to
let these inspirations continue through the
fall and winter fashions. But she has
wisely determined to give variety to exist
ing styles and an impetus to trade by
means of smart new trimming conceits and
chic accessories. Contour and contrast
are the two salient features to be aimed
at, and these are only to be successfully
achieved by the great in the couturier
world.
But there will be no lack of individuality
in the seasons styles. Far from it, for
there never was a time when one could
exercise more modsh freedom of selection.
A woman must think well nowadays be-
fore she can look well, for the day has
gone by when one or two couturiers au
tocratically dictate what their patrons
shall wear There are too many Rich
monds in the dressmakng field for this
state of things to obtain. So while it is
a small minded woman who let's dress and
ornament be the chief interest of her life.
one is obliged neither to despise nor to
neglect this important object if one is to
be well gOwned. AS l have said so many
times suitability is the keynote of good
dressing. The well bred woman seeks
something which. while quiet, looks ''in-
dvidual." One often hears it said. such
and such woman has her own style"
Which is merely another way of saying

You could not sell at any price in Birm-

The orange note in millinery is largely OBJ
tanned this fall by the use of big punches Of
grapes. ranging in color from the palest
yellow to the deepest burnt orange, which,
when combined with brown velvet, is most
effective and becoming. Silver and gold
grapes, with leaves of the same, are also
seen and with certain combinations are
quite stunning.
