and the colcr dull green or SAKE blue.
There are many, however, who prefer
the knitted coats made in white, and
these can be worn over dresses of any
color, a green plaid skirt looking par
tcularly well with a white wooden
knitted coat, and long blue overcoat
may be considered the most advisable
addition to the scheme.
The all-in-one-piece dress made of
an infnitesimal check in brown and
white looks well with bands of brown
leather and buttons of pearl, and this
worn with a white knitted wooden
coat may be completed with one of
the draped caps in soft dark brown
satin with a braid and tasseled orna-
ment at one side. A green knitted
wooden coat has charms over green
and blue mixed cheviot skirt with a
blue wolfe shirt and blue hat of ante
lope skin, and small velvet caps are
effectively bordered with killed peter
sham; and these are definitely novel.
Useful Knitted Waistcoats.
And we have the knitted waistcoats
to consider, and very warm and COM

There is, indeed, much cry of wool

she should enhance the effect by

Black Lace Has Revival.
Black lace is amongst the revivals;
many attractive gowns and blouses
are made of this, the blouses being
mounted over jetted net or ivory lace.
A foundation of Paisley chiffon is also
amongst the privileges l have seen
black lace enjoy recently. Doubtless
the autumn will find black lace more
definitely established as fashionable
fabric. But here / am, prophesying,
again-most rash of me considering
the vagaries of the dress designers
| who so deliberately foreshadow in one
season a proposition which does not
crystalize until three seasons after
wards. But that is the fault of the
English: it is well-known that we Brit
ishers take at least three seasons to
become acclimatized and truly recon

Plain ivory lace robes were bought in
