New York, Nov. 2-The- popularity
of lac blouses seems to increase as the
eason advances, and it is believed
that the lingerie waist will receive lit
tie favor. Where it is possible, these
lace blouses match the skirt. This is
not difficult if the skirt is of a ham
paign or brown color. b coarse
meshed laces seem to be used more
than the fine ones, and the prettiest of
these waists are made of strips of flet
lace which is put together with a fancy
stitch. Some are made of three differ
ent laces over a foundation offine cot
ton net, and are trimmed with mar
row ruf1es OF CIuny lace. It is very
quarter of an inch wide, at the top Of
the collar and tie in a small bow in the
back, which may be kept in place by a
small bar pin. Tiny bows of black
satin are worn in the front of many
stocks.
One of the prettiest fashions in hats,
is the facing of felts with colored velvet.
The French prefer the Irish green vel
vet for this purpose rather than any
other color. 1t is a very becoming
style to have the color next to the face,
especial if the hat is of a dark color.
Hatter's satin is being used to a great
extent because of its a~daptability for
the most modish shapes. 1t comes in

a re considered very stylish.
A smart tailored walking costume OF
brown serge suiting, has the skirt
made instep length in three circular
sections, which are joined under grad
uated hems. There is a seam down
the center of the back which gives the
ripple effect below the hips. The cut
away coat has the wide armhole effect
and the sleeves are plain. full-1ength.
The lower part Of the vest is of her.
.ing-bone sllkbraid, while the upper
section is of brown velvet which
matches the straps on the cuffs.
| The mandarin coat has been receiv-
ed with much favor, but the kimono
coat is generally liked SO it will not be
old in style. Many elaborate coats
have been copied from the genuine
Chinese garments. One coat has been
shown made of plum satin embroider-
ed all over in Chinese design and
coloring. The lower part Of the o a
was of plum colored broadcloth and
the lining was Of soft blue satin in the
dull Chinese one which was a promin-
ent color in embroidery. The coat
fronts were fastened together with
Oreitial gold clasps with ornaments.
It is evident that purple is the favor
tie color for this winter. All the
smartest hats are made of purple vel
vet, or trimmed with it. There are
some stunning combinations of purple
and brown, green or a rich wine red
When purple is u~Gbecolning to the
face, the hat houId be built up with
white or ecru, if that can be worn
equally as we'll. Besides the morning
glories and orchids and feur-de-lis
tina these hats are trimmed with are
beautiful lavender and purple pansies
The fashion of pinning a small bunch
tof artificial flowers on the bodice fol
dressy OCCASIONS, is as popular as i
was last Spring, out this winter tn,
flowers will be purple, of course. Morn
ing glories and the long trumpet flow
ers will be worn. They are also pin
ned on a muff of black fur.
The new short walking skirts ar
seen in plaids with a four-inch band O
velveteen around the bottom. On,
