NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Princess
and Empire effects are still worn
with much popularity. There is a
charm about an Empire dress if it is
made correctly, and the only notice
able change is in the back, where the
waist-line is slightly raised Except
for street wear, skirts are touching
and trailing. In these two styles of
dress nothing could be more grace
full than long trailing skirt with the
waist line having the upward curve
The Japanese sleeve has been such
favorite, that it is quite likely to
remain fashionable through the win
ter months The lego mutton sleeve
will doubtless be used for tailor
mades. Sleeves of semi-Japanese
shape are much longer, some reach
ing below the elbow and others al
most to the wrist where they are
gathered into a deep band of velvet.
On many of the dressy toilettes, the
sleeves are made entirely of hem
stitched rufies or inch wide valen-
ciennes and these usually reach below
the elbow to the wrist.
The severe and simple tailor suit
is still correct for every day. wear.
The favorite model is the 30-inch
coat, and the instep-length plated
skirt. Careful tailoring and choice
of material is more important for
their smartness than trimming Some
of these suits have the edges bound
with braid.

In the new trimmings, the metallic
effects are CONSPICUOUS especially
those for evening gowns. The filet
lace is often made entirely of gold
and silver threads combined, and solid
worried dots of the same. A new lace
braid an inch and a half wide. has
twisted gold and silver threads in
a spider-web design. There are also
bands of net darned in a delicate de-
sign in pastel colOrs, outlined with
silver and gold thread Some of the
spangled Brussels net bands are COW
cred over with tiny spangles of gold,
silver, shaded pastel colors or black.
A very modish travelling suit worn
the other day by pretty blonde, was
of dark blue foulerd figured wig
tiny white squares set diamond-wise.
The jacket, having the kimona sleeve,
was banded with plain blue. On
the left side of the killed skirt, reach
ing from the belt to the knee, was a
band of plain blue trimmed with but
tons. She wore a dainty lingerie
blouse, round hat of cadet blue, with
dropping brim, which was encircled
with blue feathers.

in a shade deeper than the material.
The Oriental patterns are especial
ly pretty and the floral effects are
lovely, Marquisettes are bordered
with velvet of self or contrasting col
ors, and are outlined occasionally
with silver and gold threads.
Umbrella Wells.
What are called umbrella wells
are the latest accessories to the toll
cite. These are made round and
the dots radiate from one central
dot like the ribs of an umbrella
There is a circular veil having a
circle four inches in diameter in the
center and increasing to large ones
that reach to the edge of the veil
Chenille dots are most favored, but
the double-faced velvet ones are some
used
Early fall hats are shown in block
ed felt beavers and velvets. For
trimmings velvet will be as popular
as it is in gowns, but especially the
uncut velvet Imitation of Persian
lamb makes a very smart effect, and
as it is very light, is excellent for
both hat foundations and trimming
. Fringed silk in ruches and bows
is used lavishly, almost covering the
top of some of the hats. The colors
that are fashionable for hats are
the same as for gowns. Purple is
the leading favorite, with all it's
Shades The Atlantic blue is the
leading color in blues, and amber,
caster and new rose are all popular
shades
Lingerie blouses in soft pretty tones
of blue and pink and delicate green
and corn color are dainty and fash
ionabe. Little house coats are pro-
vided to wear with them, which are
cut on the Elton effect, but with the XII

these is silk. The Elton is short in
the back, the sleeves come just be-
