FANclEs FOR LATE SUMMER.
Original Features Put Forth By
Partisan costumers.

However much the late season may
lack in great originality there are
quite certain to be minor features de.
veloped. The very latest news from
Paris is to the effect that wine and
strawberry tints are much seen and
that rich. deep blues appear to be
given preference over the brighter
sorts. Also, we are told that the
sleeveless guimpe blouse and princesse
gown are the favorites, but that they
are cut out with only a moderate
decollette neck. so that little of the
guimpe beneath Is shown.
The wide kimono sleeves are by no
means becoming to all figures, and it
was almost a foregone conclusion that
the big armholes with narrow sleeves,
or with trimming to simulate them.

Is the tendency toward simplicity of
trimming on the skirts to be noted,
and more and more certain does 1t be

skirts with elaborate blouses will
make a feature of the autumn.
Just now Paris dressmakers arc

Ing out of style, present conditions do
not indicate it. There are new styles,
large beads In irregular shapes, small
beads of pretty patterns, good ones,
precious gems and some decidedly
cheap. though. strange to say, very
pretty. Women are wearing all kinds
and to many women they are very be-
coming. Amber is a favorite color
at present. since the color looks beau
tiful worn with the new brown tints.
Genuine amber beads are expensive,
but there are some very clever imi-
tations in the market which will sat

can be made more elegant in APP
pearance by stringing them on plat.
mum wire and using gold clasps. It
Is the cheap cotton string and brass
clasp which gives more evidence of
cheapness than the beads.

to him. He risked small stack on the

Then he tried new combination Of
