each costume made so it won'd serve many purposes.
 Nut brown pongee and a two piece suit pattern were used for the devel- opment of the travelling dress. The skirt, instead of adhering strictly to the walking length, cleared the ground by only one and one-half inches, which made it more appropriate for the many occasions it was designed for. Small tucks, closely arranged at the top of the sides and back but giving a panel effect in front, adjusted the fullness in a very graceful manner, below which it fell in becoming folds A deep hem, decorated with many rows of machine stitching, finished the bottom of the skirt, which measured about five yards. and one-fourth at the lower edge.
 The coat was a cutaWay, one of the smartest styles of this season. The closing laps in double breasted style,
 
 top button, the fronts being cut away below the lowest button. A flat band collar of velvet decorated the neck and cuffs, a mode of decoration which would make the suit timely for the autumn. The blouse worn under the coat was a tucked white lawn in tai E,,;c cI, Ji and long sleeves. When worn in the afternoon on an occasion demanding a more dressy effect, there was a cof- fee colored lace blouse of Irish cro- chet and filet lace, and third blouse with Dutch neck and elbow sleeves was of cream French batiste, Valen- ciennes trimmed. In addition, there was an overblouse of the pongee, and brotelles of the panne velvet in brown.
 The second costume was made of French gray voile in the over blouse style, to which very smart effect was given by black velvet pipings. The skirt was fashioned in a most attract ve model, having inlaid plaits piped with black velvet. It touched the floor in front and at the sides, with slight fall in the back of two inches. The blouse was of white shirred chif ion over pale pink silk. The over blouse was made with tucks on the shoulders, the right side drawn over in surplice style, the sleeves in kim ono effect, and all edges piped with the black velvet. Three large silver buttons decorated the front closing. On such occasions when hat must be worn, there was gray chip trim med with pink roses, and black plumes falling over the hair at the left side. Gray gloves and shoes would, of course, accompany the cos tune.
 The third gown was of printed taf- feta showing lawns, old pink and a touch of blue. The half princess mod el was used in it's development, the gores being shaped to fit the hips and waist smoothly, below which were let in narrow panel pieces with upward curved tops. The skirt was very full around the bottom, falling about the feet and slightly trained. The blouse was of pink silk, draped with lawn gray yelling and the bolero that &C., companied it was of fawn satin with insets of fawn lace over pink silk, and blue ornaments. This gown was in tended for more formal wear, and an extra blouse for evening wear of the silk and cream lace, having low neck and short sleeves, was a thoughtful ad- dition.
 The shirtWaist suit was of blue lin en, trimmed in white braid and made in the most severe style. The tea gown was of printed challis, and the crepe matinee gown was also simple affair, both in model and color. To these costumes was added a black voile skirt over a silk foundation, a raincoat, storm hat, collars, cuffs, ber' thas, and other small accessories that go so far in aiding a woman to look and be we'll dressed. Everything was planned with an eye to durability, cleanliness and lack of trouble during few weeks visit to the exposition.
 From the styles seen at Jamestown and at the various summer resorts. there are, as yet, few indications of what the fall fashions will be.
