The plated ruche at the base as well
as at the top of lace stock is at pre-

long finished with little silk balls or
tassels in matching color. Some of the
stocks five or six inches high.-for

also narrow bands of fancy braid col

than the satin bands. The dog collar

satin with several rows of finely plat

The Pierott ruche continues to be
worn by women of fashion. 1t is an
accessory that lends much distinction
to a costume and is considered a smart
finish. They are fastened by a bow OF
ribbon, made into two bows which
stand upward, while the ends, an inch
or two longer, are placed downward
This bow is seen at the back or side.

natural and more effective. The soft
pompadour is generally becoming and
II is really the most popular way OF
arranging the hair. Parting the hair
does not mean that it is drawn back
perfectly smooth, but puffed little at
the sides and if the hair is naturally
wavy this can be done very prettily.
The Grecian knot is a favorite and
very appropriate twist at this time il
fashion. But there are numerous ways
of arranging it back at the nape of the
neck, and person may find a purely
original way that becomes her face.
When the hair is long, the braid may

pecially becoming to young girls and
many young ladies have adopted the
style for the summer months.
When the first cool days of autumn
come a tailored costume must be had
to take the place of the summer cost
ume which is not only unsuitable fol
fall wear but shows the wear of the
past months. All the fashionable tail
oring houses are showing the new fall
models and ii is noticed that many OF
the ideas follow those of the summer
costumes, that is, the Directoire Diet
ails. However, the Louis XIV style OF
dress is being introduced in some mod
els with great success, which will un
doubtedly be rival of the DirectOire
node. The narrow shoulders, long
close sleeves. big trimmed pockets and
frills at the wrists and throat are
characteristics of the Louis XIV type.
There are many fabrics used in max

popular of all materials. There is

is great variety in its grades. On
some qualities the surface has hardly
any roughness. Serge makes an ideal
suit for the business woman.
Mixed gray suitings are liked for fall
and can be worn on some days in whit
err. Indian red makes very attractive
autumn suit and is also appropriate
for winter wear. The Partisan is fond
of the Westminster gray at this time
of the year. This color is neither a
smoke nor a steel, but a cheerful tone,
brighter than smoke and yet not as
vivid as steel. Hussah blue, which is
a little brighter than navy is shown in |
fine qualities of broadcloth.

most trying and expensive of all the
