Dark but by no means somber, are the
colorings fashion approves for fall. Never
have we seen a wider variety Of shades
accredited good by that caprlcious dame.
First and foremost in novelty and beau
ty is the purple family. Every shade and
tone, from the full rich royal egg plant
dahlia. 'petunia. and those tones known
to the French as crocus, pavot, eminence,
and abbesse.
Purple is startling color, and some
how we always feel that it cannot take
well; yet It comes to us this fall in mod
els with the names Of the master-design-
ers of the world attached, and since some
of New York's best dressed women are
favoring It, 1t certainly looks as though
more people than royalty would be cloth
ed In purple this winter.
The of shades, II must be confessed,
are more attractive than the clear pur-
pie and vastly more becoming to the mn
jority of compIexions in this harsh ell
mate of ours. The egg plant, or aubu
CINE. as the French term II, Is sort
pinkish tint that combines charmingy
with light blue, and harmonizes delight
fully with almost all the fashionable furs.
Greens in all shades, but particularly
in the bronze and leaf tones, are slated
for fine favor this fall and winter. Green
was the leading color In Paris last win
ter. but did not reach prominence here
The favor denied 1t last season, 1t Will
doubtless attain to, this. The bright en-
erald green tones, shades sometimes
termed Marie Louise, will be strong as
an accessory color, in hats and trim
mings.
Blues we have always with us, they are
SO sensible you know. However, II Is
not their practical qualities that brings
them forward this season, but genuine
fashion vogue. The new shades are GER
tainIy worthy Of the attention they are
inspiring They are the lighter tones,
Natter and Copenhagen, and some mar
velous deep blues that seem to contain
black. 80 very dark is the tone Pirate
and hIibustier some of these are called.

reach to within a few inches of the 40
to Al Inch coat are not unusual. The
coat itself may be comparatively simple,
but the vest is heavy with richest en-
broideries and braidings. Or. 1t is of
rich brocade, bound with furnished gold
braid, the material and trimmings exact
reproductions of those employed in the
waistcoats of the courtiers of Louis gay
court There are frequently smart little
pocket flaps at the waist line, or below,
to enhance the old time appearance.
Imported waistcoats
The dre5smakers, by the way, have
brought over these waistcoats all made
up, to use in suits they will make for
their patrons, and they soemnly Inform
US that nothing like this fabric can be
had on this side of the Atlantic, though
one has a suspicion that the good old
broCade patterns In some of the high
class upholstery shops will be mustered
into service before the season Is over, to
the entire satisfaction of all concerned.
Lace Jabots.
With these long coats and quaint waist
coats nothing could be more appropriate
than the frill or jahot of lace. with
which the front of many of the new
waists are provided. If not a part OF
the waist proper, this bit of frilliness
may readily be added. and still be sound
q most attractive addition TO toilettes OF
this character.

Much and Heavy
Jewelry Worn.

The fashions in jewelry change almost
as rapidly as they do In Easter bonnsf&
nowadays. Stones OF huge size, whsa
considered as precious gems, are now
being mounted in London, New York and
Paris for the most refined and fashiner
able ladies. These huge stones are bs-
log put into necklaces brooches ang
bracelets, and the amount OF JewSGrF
which Is now considered perfectly proper
for lady to wear would have been coia"
sidered barbarous and vulgar five years
ago. As many as three different Eegtb@
of necklaces are worn this year by fash
ionable women. six brooches nck
thought too many, and half 8 do8gE
bracelets are thought to be emfnentiy
proper by the best Judges in London
Society.
Rings now show a decided tsnoenc9
to become large and clumsy. Any ~oi..

many that the hands of L0ndon's most
fashionable women when attlred In their
rings are just about useless. They could
not even piC!- up a handkerchief ms they
cannot benu .heir fingers weighted down
with large yings. Large diamonds are
preferred for the little fingers, and ar
tistic designs of thumb rings are being
worn that stretch from one lnuckle tc
the other. The corsage can be complete

forms In which the present fashionable
love for jeweled ornaments find expires.

Fashion Notes.

The craze for cameo jeweIry grows
apace. Those possessed of heirIooms Of
this nature are congratulating themselves
thereon, and the less fortunate are saving
their pennies to buy, or trusting that q

The prominence the front lace cor
set is taking is worthy of note. In the

that we are promised as q feature OF the
winter modes. The full pleated blouse Is
draped over a we'll boned fitted lining,
the shaped neck and the wide arm
holes outlined with velvet bands heavy
with silk and soutache embroIderies The
sleeve Is also draped, and this being the
distinctly new thing in sleeves, Is deserv-
ing close attention. The plain lines OF
the kimona and Japanese sleeves that
have mOnOpoized things all summer are,
we are told, to be largely replaced by
draped effects. The sleeve to this lans-
downe costume is extremely simple, being
composed of two pieces of the cloth
arranged with the opening on the upper
arm. and the lower part of the drapery
caught together with a small velvet bow
over a straight lace undersleeve. There Is
a high collar and shaped vest Of lace,
the latter outlined with chiffon scarf
which is knotted softly at the bust line
and falls In lace trimmed ends to below
the waist.
The New Princess Models.
The princess dress is by no means miss
ing from the new fall models Indeed
the one piece and the two piece costumes
divide houOrs about equally The Prln-
cess Empire is noticeable, and another
form of princess which has portions of
the skirt extended up to form part of
the bodice. Such a model is sent in by
Lebouvier. and IS developed in shadow

violet. The back pieces of the skirt are
extended into breteIles. which cross sur

sleeve tops, and drape to the waist line

feature Of this costume. being used

with velvet and cord edged.
Japanese and Jumper Ideas
Continue.
These two costumes are Indicative OF
two distinct types of demi-costume, OF
each of which we will see many varia-
tons during the season. They emhod-
many points OF newness, but so cleverly
introduced that one feels no shock. There
are Japanese sleeves and jumper Ideas
apleuty among the new models, but these
lack the novelty OF the draped effects
above described.
Longer Coats and the New Vest.
Nor are the suits lacking In surprises.
First there are the heightened coats.
Starting at so and 81 inch lengths, the
coats have gradually descended until they
reached the knees, and are still goIn'
as the small boy says. But the distinct
novelty feature of the imported suit coats
is the long vests. II is the fashion Of
