and half, and then paint them with a

looking.
The Modish Blouse.
There is great deal of fine work to be
| noticed on all watsts-not only braiding
and embroidery, but narrow bands Of
silk, fancy buttons and a myriad of dainty
touches that can only be given by the
most careful hand work Much IS writ
| ten and said of the high prices asked for
| clothes, but it does not require a close
| inspection to discern that there is an i'm
mense amount of work even the
simplest waist, while on the more elab-
crate ones the work is marvelousiy fine
and intricate and hand work is demanded
on everything at all smart.
Naturally the empire style cannot be
attained in the separate waist, but hint
of it's influence may be noted In the ar
rangement of the bet, which gives a
| short-waisted appearance at the back
and Is not so long nor SO pointed in front
as last year. Perfection of fit in the nat
yoke is demanded, and no end of at
tention is paid to the collar, which Is
either cut to form collaries effect or is
as high as possible and most carefully
toned. A touch of black velvet in the
collar is one of the favor'te fashions,
while for more formal oCcaeions the wide
velvet with the jewe;ed ornament in front
is considered tremendously smart.
Dress Accessories.
After all is said and done, the success
of gown is very largely dependent upon
the accessories that accompany it.
Gloves, shoes, hosiery, parasoi, veil.
belt and the numberless other small de-
tails-each of them has the power to make
or mar a costume This the really well
dressed woman knows, and it is here that
she scores over her shorter sighted sis
tiers. She recognizes the Importance OF
these sadly Misunderstood minor details
and gives particular attention to them.
She knows intima tely what sort of foo
wear may appropriately accompany each
separate gown, what veil and how to ar
range It, and so on through the whole
category of small belongings, and she
insists upon having these things and
wearing them precisely as they should
be worn.
To know how to put on the graceful
finishing touches Is an art in itself. Even
the woman to whom artistic gowning is
a heaven born instinct and who has been
further than that blessed with well
filed purse finds 1t necessary to study
carefully the little novelties that are con-
tinuaIly being brought forth to tempt
her.
Hat Brims Are Straight.
The big hats pointing downward all
the way around. the mushrooms, the but
ter bowls and wash dish hats and the
windmills are al, being reproduced in the
fall shapes. Dame Fashion Is anxious,
however, to turn aside from these to-
ward the hats that are fiat in the brim
rather high in the crown and worn nat
upon the head. Many of the new fall
shapes are decided y sailor hats; they
are made in felt, and they are very simply
trimmed around the crown. At the back
of the hat float a few feathers.
But it Is fact that the mushrooms
are very youthful in appearance, and
the woman of fashion who wants to look
coquettish insists upon having at least
one hat of the big round order with the
brim pointing downward ! the way
around and no trimming at al except
few feathers pointing in harmonious
directions
