FANcIEs 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 foregone conclusion that
the big armholes with narrow sleeves.
or with trimming to simulate them,
would be developed More and more
Is the tendency toward simplicity of
trimming on the skirts to be noted,
and more and more certain does it be-
come that the comparatively plain
skirts with elaborate blouses will
make feature of the autumn.
Just now Paris dressmakers are
using the filmiest possible materials
with tucks or folds as their trim
mings, but weighted at the lower edge
with hens of contrasting and heavier
fabric, and this treatment quite as
we'll as the bordered stuffs is looked
for throughout the coming season. The
contrasting hens allow of color and
fabric effects. at the same time that
they serve definite, practical end,
and when utility and beauty are com
bined there seems every reason for
any fashion to take as firm a hold as
is possible in matters of the sort. Just
now heavy linen is being used in this
way, and late summer costumes are
made of net with hens of the linen
that are either plain or braided with
soutache. as may be liked. Separate
coats of linen, too, are being greatly
used. and linen is given prominence
during these late weeks of the sum-
mer season.

tations in the market which will sat

can be made more elegant in an.
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.

The present is the best time of year
to pick up goods for making jackets
and wraps, and never were the coun-
tiers so flooded with silk remnants that
are adapted to the Innings of these
garments.
Despite the influx of new models,
the eton jacket has held its own in
popular taste, and for some figures it
is by far the most becoming model
that could be worn.
An eton jacket is always In de-
mand. II is both seryiceable and smart,
and 1t means a bit more protection
than the more fanciful models. 1t is
adapted 10 all seasons and materials,
and for the girl whose figure is we'll
rounded and long-waisted, It is al
ways recommended. 1t shows the fig
ure to best advantage,
OF course, the mandarin, kimono or
toxic sleeve Is very up-to-date, and
the eton with these sleeves is bound to
show this seasons mark upon It. It
does not give the warmth that the
tight sleeve does, but It has many
practical advantages, as IL can read
lily be slipped on over lingerie dresses
with fluffy sleeves without mussing
them.
These separate etons are best evolv-
ed from plain materials, but they can
be trimmed quite deliberately and lin
ed with bright silks or figured foul
ards.
An extra overgarment in the shape
of a smart looking tailor coat is al
ways wanted in the wardrobe of the
well-dressed woman. The chesterfield
coat, which, by the way. can be made
in hip or three-quarters length, is a
good model to go by.
The home sewer can do this coat If
she is clever about her pressing and
but that seems to have been suppressed
ed by much smarter looking mate
rails like cheviots in broken plalds,
or novelty cloakings.
These coats are seldom lined, al.
though 1t can be done If preferred

ter length, with the seams bound, but
If you prefer It lined, thelSmatch the
goods in heavy twilled silk or soft
satin. Under no circumstances get a
figured lining for this style coat, nor
should it be of contrasting color.
This coat should always have a
full-length sleeve, for you wear it only
on undress occasions
For the woman who goes out much
in the evening, or for the young miss
just entering society, nothing is more
in demand than the mandarin coat for
these occasions. The model is also
adaptable for afternoons, driving, mo-
toring, etc.

worn either for day or evening. In
plain gold-flled brooches the knot, the
fieur de lis and the four-leaf clover
share equal popularity. Breastpins in
mosaic and enameled effects are good.

cheap Trimming for FAN H,..

One sees handsome, dark colored
flowers which have been rejected as
too heavy looking by the buyers of
summer finery at greatly reduced
prices in the millinery departments.
Autumn hats are far prettier trimmed
with these flowers and foliage than
with feathers and wings. and the long
winter season affords plenty of time
for employing the latter decorations.
