FASHIONS AND PADS,

1 Birds-eye cheviot is one of the fa- vorite materials for autumn suits. It | comes in the fashionable tones of grape. purple gray. blue. taupe and | green.
 i A new departure in the manufacture | of the worumbo pele cloth is a plaid | back, making it reversible. an inno-
 vation that promises to be success | full.
 1 The general tendency in the suiting | materials is toward roughness. show | ing a greater coarseness of weave and of finish than we have seen in several years.
 Black satin evening wraps and cloaks 1 for daytime wear are quite the latest thing, covering the wearer from neck to heels and even training slightly at the back
 Mushroom umbrella handles may be
 had in wood: ivory. horn, metal and in the new beaded styles. Wooden mushroom handles are sometimes carv- eo with animal heads. Short neck ribbons of black moire in half-inch width are now worn for
 carrying the lorgnon. which is consid- cred more convenient for use when 1t hangs only to the bust. Applique satin is new treatment of satin that reproduces almost exact ly the hig;h-priced brocade sattns. It's design is known as applique, and 1t comes in all the light shades.
 No gown is complete without a scarf of some kind since during the last four months they have been adapted to street wear with tailor gowns as well as more elaborate toilettes.
 Much embroidery in @ new kind of beads is being hand done on all classes of fabrics used for, the more elaborate frocks. and these beads appear to be enameled and given a metallic lustre besides.
 A Greek bandeau that is fascinating for a youthful coiffure is made of French gilt in diadem form with a around it. with two very large ones placed at either end like balls
 One of the loveliest of jeweled but tons is an olive shape, the elongated centre in various tones to match the gown, the rims set with brilliants all ternating, and among which are placed rays of the colored stone.
 The French are enthusiastic over the practical chiffon jumper, which, all though it originated here. has been so eagerly adopted by them that it is now sent back to us in charming treat ments to go with their latest designs in suits.
 A new bag is of dark green nloroc CO., nine inches wide. has a mOther-of pearl frame. held on by green bands. The lining is gray calfskin with a change purse, a powder-puff pocket d as to fall fiat against the bag when folded down.
 In the many combinations of velvet with other materials. which is a mark ed departure of the season. nothing further is left to be desired in the way of ma gnificence. There are. for in- stance, all-over velvet brocades mount ed on changeable chiffon. which cling to the figure in long. soft lines.
 Earrings have become so re-eStab- lished in favor that the fashion is no longer eccentric. Circles of precious stones hung pendant from a single con- trasting jewel-such as emeralds with pearls. or turquoises with diamonds are commended by the present de- n1ands of fashion and the low set hats.
 A simple hair ornament that can be easily adjusted to almost any coiffure is made from silver or gold ribbon, an inch wide. and three rows of colored beads strung side by side. Milliner's wire cut to fit the head. with loops at each end to hold a hairpin. are then twisted with the beads and ribbon so that they overlap each other.
 It is pity that so many good-look- ing women elect to wear a fiat. broad band of satin across the top of the head. Such an arrangement is try ing to the most beautiful modelled fea- lures, and has a harshening effect that is anything but becoming. By putting the band under the hair at the back from side to side one will find the result much prettier. leaving the nat ural softness of the hair to frame the faoA
