NEW YORK FASHIONS.

New York, Oct. lS.-AnylnliiS Dul
plain fabrics seems, according 10 the
DISPLAYS of dress materials, TO De the
order of the day. But this is the stone
over which many a woman Will STUN
BILE in her selection of her winter ward
robe Fancy materials are all right for
women with money sufficient TO war
rant their abandonment of garments
once they are tired OF them. But Tor
the woman who must make suit or
gown or coat last as long as it is pos
sibIe plain materials are always the
best choice-the only choice from
common sense standpoint. No woman
likes to wear garment that marks
her by its conspicuousness, and
fancy material or bright color worn
often does this.
Plain materials with a touch of
bright color or fancy trimming that is
easily removable when it has become
tiresome from usage, are especially
possible this year, with the stores
Astounding not only in all sorts of at
tractive garnishment, but with no end
of excellent suggestions for their use.
A little soutache braiding, applied fiat
OF on edge, adds a great deal 10 4 gar
ment and can be done at home.
One of the most attractive fashions
OF the coming season will be the vel
vet coat worn with sloth skirt of its
striped or checked velvets are in great
favor, but for the girl who has only
one best suit the plain velvet is prefer
able For the trimmings of sucn coats
there are galloons braids, passenen-
terfes and ornaments Of many sores A
costume of the kind has tobacco
brown cloth skirt and brown striped
velvet coat of the Louis XIV variety
The skirt is trimmed at the hem with
L. n IN va n.
hands width apart, with a vermlceln
patterns in soutache filing the spa-e
between. The coat has braided collar
cuffs and pockets Of the same kind ana
a braided waistcoat Of the cloth. With
the suit goes hat of mole-Sray satin
lined with MORE. 1t has large, nigh
bow Of taffeta of the same color lined
with a petunia shade which is almost
cerese, and which gives glow TO the
entire costume.
MANY of The new coats are Of sack
or half-fitting order and are cut away
from the front with more or less pro-
nouEced effect. The vogue for scarf
sernblances of one kind or another has
led to the introduction of all sorts, OF
drapery or tab adjuncts to coats that
would otherwise be of incOnSpicuouS
tvpe. The Incoryable collar, standing
straight around the neck, which IS
threatening TO put TO rout the low neck
finishes of the day, has its open 'front.'
often finished with a scarf which Is
fastened TO suit the taste of the maker
or wearer.
For evening gowns the counters are
literally bubbling over with all classes
OF material. The half-cotton and half
silk gauges under various names. new
and old, are more abundant than ever
Such fabrics come in the newest color
fngs, and with care will give good
deal of use. Then there is no end TO
the choice silks and velvets, plain and
fancy Brilliancy of finish character
ICES all the silks, and the satfns are, as
q result of the craze for such effects,
in high favor.
There is a renewed tendency TO give
straight lines TO the skirts without a
suggestion of bOuffantry. To aid the
effect weights are sometimes put into
hens of gowns or drop skirts and
bands of heavier material than the
body of the skirts frequently finished
their hens. The new ana very thin
supple velvet. seen for the first time
this fall. is being put to many uses for
merly reserved for silk and satin.
The newest trimming Of the honey
moon hat-so named because it is big
enough for two-is the shower plume
with crown piece that covers tie
crown of the hat completely and then
falls with a sweep off the back, often
nearly 10 the waist line. Huge al
grette effects. some Of the real aigretIe
and others of fancy feathers, are an
other feature Of hat openings. One of
the new things among them is the Opa-
descent appearance obtained by the
use Of various tints in the same cluster
pink blue, white, etc. Some OF the
handsomest plumes are shaded and run
through tridescences of pale blue, pink
and white ore other blendings. What
ever the trimming, be sure il is big.
A woman just returned from Paris
says that the exclusive set there is
turning from the high crown, wide
brim shapes that are being exploited
here, and now is demanding fiat hats
trimmed with aigrettes that slant
. backward until they seem TO lie along
the shelving crown, instead of soaring
alOft as they have been doing through
the past months. She insists that flat
effects. and not the high crown, ap-
pearances are going TO obtain, once the
season is established. Should the nigh
crown win out, the couture will take
on still greater exaggeration than even
the sensational styles of the last year
have been responsible for. Among the
wrinkles for the coming winter are
hat pins with little furry animal heads
topping them. They will be worn to
match furs-
The new weaves In veilings have
struck the keynote so far, and the buy
ers in all parts of the country are TAX
ing these cloths in generous quantity.
The light veilings have been favorftes
for several seasons. but this year they
are TO attain the importance of being
in vogue. With many of the dress
goods agents il is found that next TO
broadcloths they have secured their
business largely on taffeta striped
voiles On veilings some of the large
cutters-up have placed spring orders
with the intention of using the goods
for separate skirts. These skirts arc
to have a taffeta silk foundation. The
tendency in the color schemes for
spring is toward darker effects in suit
ings and In the striped goods the light
colors are retained in MANY instances.
The new lines of broadcloths for the
fall of 1908 are being shown by some Of
the domestic agents as well as by all of
the leading importers.
