CAN HAVE WIDE CHOICE.
Material for Dressy Costumes Are
Many and Varied.

There is such range of fashionable
materials for the gown which is to do
duty as a semi-dressy dinner frock, a
calling and church costume, that one
cannot go wrong in selecting any one
of the beautiful weaves offered in the
shops to-day. All the soft silks, crepes,
lansdownes and the chiffon broad
cloths come in a bewildering range OF
colors and shades and there are easily
matched at the trimming counter in
braids and handsome ornaments. The
crepes de chine and lansdownes are
also attractively employed in dainty
house gowns made up on simple en-
pire and princess lines and trimmed
in the simplest way with fine lace. rib
bon and hand embroideries. Hand
embroideries, by the way, are highly
priced in this season S fashions, and

creations. On the other hand, one can
have the dress made by some repu-
table establishment and supply cne's
own handwork as the design Of the
costume demands or add such finish
ing touches after the gown has left
the costumer's hands.

Velvet Hats Popular.

Hats in velvet will be much seen
this autumn. the great drawback to
them being their weight, unless very
sxillfully arranged. Hats are likely
to weigh heavily on the mind of the
fashionable in two senses of the word
this autumn) A Canadian sable collar
has been draped about the brim of a
golden brown velvet shape, finished
with swathings of three shades of
brown silk net and a splendid cluster
of leafess Gloire de Dion roses In
all their soft hues of ivory, cream and
maize. Such hat cannot be light

Velvet Will Have Vogue.

Importers and modistes are OF the
unanimous opinion that velvet is to
have a great vogue, and several tall
ored models have already arrived
from abroad The colorings are ex-
quisite and reveal many new and
lovely tones, says the Delineator for
September
Checked and striped velvets are
shown made up into gowns intended
for use at morning lectures and at
luncheons.. They are light of weight.
supple in quality and show both close
and open designs. The hair-line vel
vets have all the attractiveness OF
corded weave but none of its severity.
While it is quite true that velvets
showing stripes and checks are no
novelty, having been used last season,
the beautiful color tones which the
new ones possess promise to make
them desirable. Where the hair lines
are of contrasting color, such as
black on sandstone, or white on the
sapphire blue, they produce shaded
eHect which is particularly pleasing.
