enormous hat with long black plumes
completes this costume.
Paquin. is represented in a pale yell
low velvet, the corsage and front
panel heavily embroidered. and mag
nificent heavy lace forming the bodice
and sleeves. Velvet shoulder straps
with the gold embroidery outline the
shoulders and a band of gold ribbon
from which depends gold fringe orna-
ments the hair, over which is placed
a large hat of cloth of gold.
A tunic made of crystal beads on
black net surmounts a gown of soft
pink messaline. Brilliants worked
through the beads make a beautiful
outline for the decolletage and shoul-
der straps, and O sash of rose color
ties with a big bow at the knees, from
beneath which falls a short train OF
black chiffon over the pink satin. This
frock is from Francis, and is without
doubt one of the most beautiful of the
entire display.
At the Broadway department store
the windows are decorated in autumn
leaves and palms, and novelty shown
here are the petticoats of accordian
pleated chiffon. These are in plaid
patterns as we'll as the more beautiful
broche designs, and the tops are OF
softest messaline. Two stunning
gowns shown here are of black velvet
with bodice embroidered in semi-pre-
cious stones, and a creation in mauve
moire satin embroidered in the same
shades with old net in the bodice and
yoke and a hat with dropping brlm
and overshadowing plumes to complete
the color scheme.
A girlish frock of soft shirred chif-
fon over blue satin is gathered in at
the waist with three rows of Persian
ribbon and the lower part of the skirt
is finished in the same way to simu-
late the hobbIe effect. One window
shows a beautiful array of brown
broadcloths, velvets, laces, gauzes and
chiffons Lingerie and corsets in novel
design and attractive array are also
shown in one of this stores windows.
Black and white seems to have been
the favorite effect desired by the Win
dow dresser at the Fifth Street store.
White frosted leaves and vines and
soft, white, gauzy screens make
glittering background for the cos
tunes OF black and white which are
displayed. One of the handSomest of
these Is of embroidered black net over
white chiffon. The bodice is embroid-
cred with coral and sash of the same
hue outlines the waist. A scarf or
black, heavily embroidered in jet, COM
pletes this gown, while a coat of sim
liar texture and embroidery is near at
hand. Another handsome frock car
ries out the same effect in tunic of
black satin falling over a double
fiounce of creamy honiton lace. The
bodice is of the honiton lace also, with
trimmings of black satin and gold. A
hat in this same window is OF panne
satin with enormous rosettes of the
material and white plumes and facing.
Bullocks windows carry out an au-
tumn scheme, even in the colors of the
gowns, and dresses and materials alike
show all the shades of gold, russell,
reddish brown and the more somber
wood shades of the same color. Each
window is embelllshed with hand
some oil painting which continues the
tones attained by the decorator and
the frames in bronze, bright or dull
gold furnish further lighting to the
effects in the windows
F'urs, ribbons, chiffons and laces
mingle with the richer materials for
gowns, suits and costumes. Pony coats
for my lady in her automobile, travel
ing rugs and hats, wells and evening
coats may be seen here in these same
rich shades. One Of the most notice
able frocks shown was a street suit in
which dull, brown broadcloth was en-
livened by panne satin. The broad
cloth fell in a long, straight tunic to
about ten inches from the ground, a
border of heavy embroidery finished
this at the hem and tiny buttons on
the satin outlined the long side front
seam and simulated a placquet The
bodice is built in klmono lines of satin
broadcloth and fur and the long sleeves
and underskirt of satin were both
edged with the fur. A hat in two
shades of brown with willow plumes,
shading from golden brown to a deep
hue, complete this frock, which found
favor with many observers yesterday.
and will undoubtedly be copied in
many materials for the winter.
Many particularly beautiful hats
were shown in the windows of this
store, and a noticeable fancy was for
the cretonne and tapestry effects in
crown and brim.
A street suit Of wide vale corduroy
and a brown velvet and broadcloth
visiting gown with big muff and col
lar of mink were two other particular
ly handsome and useful showings made
by Bullock's.
Silverwood's store put forth brave
array, both in the Broadway and Sixth
street windows, and royal blue velvet
and. bearskins alternate in emphasize
ing the decorative scheme. Smart win
ter suits for men show a prevailing
brown tone, and for the little men a
tempting array of REFERS, leggins, tam
o'shanters and blouse suits may be
seen. One of these windows has an
exhibit of fancy vests which is at
tractiye both in coloring and materials,
and man in his best array will become
almost decorative this winter,
