ments. Beaded and spangled bands. and
gallo0ns in all widths are very popular,
also medalllOns. fringes, tassels and pan

Fancy waistcoats are made Of lace and
net and are cut exactly ike a mans
vest. The buttons are very large and
elaborate. These waistcoats are to DO
worn with tailored suits that have the
cutaway front, and 50 displaying tie
bodice or vest
Tailored waists are made in washable
fabrics such as pique, madras and even
silk. They are very plain, the only
trimming being buttons covered with
self material. Plain or embroidered
linen collars arc designed 70 be worn
with these waists
Many skirts are heavily trimmed with
bands. ruffles and straps, which reach to
the knees. This is decided change
from the plain, untrimmed skirts that
have long been in fashion. but they are
generally more becoming to women than
the much trimmed skirt.
The stiff linen collar is Il favorite neck
finish for French women, but they have
added jewels to them to change their
appearance bit. Jeweled pins and gem
studded buttons worn like sleeve links

gether are the latest faneies.
There is new shade called eggplant
purple that is now being used for coat
suits, with the trimmings of purple vel
vet. This color, the new peacock blue.
and mahogany brown are used mostly
little too conspicuous for entire costumes.
but in some cases, very stunning suits
have been made of them.
Wells We're never any more worn than
they are Mt present. A mesh veil worn
over the hat and pinned in the back with
veilpin is a popular way for wearing
one. The more expensive ones have
frills OF chiffon liberty, accordion plated
around the bottom and are very becom-
ing to most faces. The newest effect has
border Of ribbon stitched all around the
veil
A smart costume that is being much
worn has skirt of green broadcletl IN
one of those foliage greens, vivid, yet
soft. The coat is of black chiffon vel
vet with high green collar and touches
of green in the cuffs and large buttons.
1t is trimmed with fine soutoche braid
and fine thread dull gold lace which
looks more like old gold thread than
metal.
The latest thing for trimming chiffon,
cloth, silk and any Of the novelty fab
ries, is chenille embroidery or flet lace
mesh. Caledonian green filet net has a
Persian design in dull. soft tones, which
makes beautiful piece of trimming. A
narrow black satin hand is az the top
edge, Il wider one at the other edge and
above the border design il very nar-
row satin fold.
Such dainty little ties and jabots are
made to wear with the embroidered linen
collars. One diamond shaped collar

edged with narrow lace Another was
more on the how-tie order. The fiat bow
effects We're finished below with two
tab ends, one longer than the other. This
was made of dotted Swiss and edged
with Nalenciennes lace.
Jeweiry of all sorts is more fascinating
than ever before The fayorte stones
seem to be Chinese jade and emerald. In
fact any stone with a greenish tinge in
il is in great demand. The stones that
come next in fashion are pink pearls and
very pale pink COAL. Some beautiful de-
signs have been shown where these two
stones were used to set off the emerald
or jade, and the effect was charming.
Waists of plaid or checked silk are
very good style. Most of them are strict
~ tailored, trimmed only with straps,
bands, and self covered or tiny gilt but
tons. The Jumper style for waists viii
be the vogue during the fall and winter
months. These are shown in the sling
sleeve in Japanese effect. and in many
the guimpe is a part of the waist, while
in others ii is entirely separate, so can
be worn with different waists.
For autumn costumes. the new shadow
broadcloths are decidedly the most styl-
ish of all materials They are so invisi-
bly, plaided that in one light they seem
to be blue, in another green, or the eolors
may be rich wine red. and brown. The
light pastel shades make very handsome
costumes for reception and theater wear.
Other materials that are used this sea
son are cheviots, imported worsted
tweeds, chiffon panamas, and wool ha-
tiste.
The new models in belts are more at
| tractive than ever before and the more
unusual they appear. the more stylish
they are considered 4 particularly at
tractive one is of black taffeta richly emf
brodered, with buckle in ohlong shape,
