how a handsome lace collar Is set
off over the dark velvet. The collar
pictured is of macrime lace which is
extravagantly fashionable In Paris
now. This lace Is bold in design. yet
delicate in workmanship and is ex-
tremely effective over dark coats and
frocks. The SUIT in this picture Is a
smart little model of black velvet with
a knee length tunic over q straight
skirt, and with a graceful coat which
defines the figure and has a peplum
below the waistline. A cord g1rdle
covers the joining Of the two parts Of
the coat. an elaborate ornament
dangling from the front Of this cord.
On this suit the tunic is short across
the front. but drops almost to the
edge Of the skirt at back and sides.
A band Of rich braiding like that Of
the coat trims the skirt below the
tunic.
With this suit Is shown one OF the
helmet bonnets which extend out
ward over the ears. This bonnet Is
made of violet velvet and has

almost always on the coat in collar
and cuff facings. This Is Illustrated
In the suit Of mahogany colored vel

material on the Corday collar and

expense. Chief among these are the
cream mattresses which come in all
manner Of figured and cross-barred
patterns. and the plain nets which
may be trimmed with lace insertion
or simply hemmed and edged with
ball trimming or fringe. There are
most elaborate net sash draper1es,
laced, shirred and berutfled. but these
ornate hangings are out OF place on
small house and when initiated In
cheap material are in very bad taste
indeed.
Drawing room curtains-the inner
curtains that show from within the
room-are usually Of lace net, and
for such draperies one may pay prac-
tically any price up to hundreds OF
dollars the pair. II economy Is an
object. the plain net curtains with
border Of some effective braid lace
will be found most satisfactory. Such
a curtain, Of cream net with rena1s-
sance lace trimming, Is illustrated.
Women who know how to make this
lace have achieved exceedingly hand
some drawing room curtains at very
little expense, and as the lace Is easy
to make and the work goes quickly.
at very little trouble as we'll.
Figured madras curtains are the
most satisfactory sort for the living
room or dining room. There is rich
ness and dignity about these curtains
though they do not suggest the formal
ity Of long, lace draperies. Some of the
stained glass patterns are much ia
vored for dining room use. but for the
living room the plain, creamy toned
madras with a simple figure or cross
bar IL best. These madras curtains
are never draped back. but always
hang in long, graceful folds from the
rod. Usually they cover the window:
in fact. most window curtains now
are drawn quite across the window

sleeves are quite short, as in so many
Of the dressy tailored models. and
are very loose at the lower edge. The
lines Of the coat are graceful and the
model is we'll suited to a slender fig
ure. The panel hanging at the front
Of the coat Is a new style feature.
Panels and pleats in front are the
craze just now, this fashion having
been adapted, Of course, from the
Moslem dress. With this mahogany
velvet suit is a hat Of white felt ROLL
ed back in sombre style and faced
with black. A single ornament of dull
gold set with coral holds the brim
against the crown.

All windows in rooms Of more

the third set-or sash draperies-
which hang directly against the pane
and are not intended to show within
the room, but are entirely for the
benefit of outside eyes. This dressing
up Of the house facade with dainty
sash curtains which show only from
the outside is a most important part
of the furnishing scheme for the win

The careful housewife sees to 1t
that her windows are kept shining
and spotless, that every shade Is
drawn to the length Of every other
shade on that particular floor. and
that her cash draperies are as good
looking as she can afford and are
uniform all over the front Of the
house. Cheap and fiimsy window
draperies are worse than none at all,

sounds rather bedraggled. but this II
a very modish location for fringe,
and some dressmakers do not even
add the under petticoat Of satin. the
fringe dangling f1imsily around the
wearer's insteps and ankles. A CAL
lot suit Of black cloth has a limp
underskirt of black satin, the cloth
tunic coming only to the knee. and
the satin petticoat IL bordered with
three inch black fringe. A pecu-
liarity Of this suit is the skirt. shorter
by two inches on one side than on
the other. Many Of the French skirts
are shortened In this way at one side
or in the front, and this effect when
a train Is worn at the back Is rather
grotesque. Queen Mary. at her Cor
onation, insisted upon having her
gown comfortably short In front even
though she had to put up. for tho
sake of tradition, with the heavy court
train at the back. and this may be
the raison d'etre for the freakish
skirts which are appearing In Paris
now. Sometimes black slippers and
1iesh tinted silk stockings are worn
with these skirts in rather startling
effect.
A Bechoff- David costume illustrates
both the use of fringe Al trimming
and the shortening of the skirt in
front. This costume IL built Of pale
blue wool taffeta and the fringe, which
is very narrow. matches tho material.
The fichu drapery over the shoulders
appears to wind downward over the
skirt in very graceful effect. the dra-
perry ending at the foot of the skirt
in front. This front portion IL butt
toned over to the side portion with q
line Of tiny self-colored crochet but
tons. at the foot the skirt being left
open in slashed effect. A feature OF
this gown Is the short. loose sleeve
worn over a full undersleeve which
Is stiffened with a loop.

ten looped back with cords so that
one has a view Of the outer world.
The third sort Of window hangings
are the draperies of substantial ma
terial which make a frame of the
opening and give 1t character and
grace. Festooned effects are becom-
ing more and more fashionable and
sometimes three and even four full
length curtains are used to ma!
these elaborate festoons across the
window. An illustration shows a wide

Elaborate Trimmings "n Cloth Suits.
Even the simplest suits Of wool ma
terial are much trimmed with braid
ing, buttons and satin facings. and
there is q new trimming notion this
autumn-bold machine stitching done
in rows with bright colored silk. Pa
quin was the originator Of this style
Of trimming. but 1t Is now being cop
led by other dressmakers. for Moth
ing so smart has been thought OF In
many day for the garnishing OF
sombre tailored costumes. Paquin
shows gay little blue serge suit
trimmed with rows Of tiny white but
tons, scarcely larger than beads. and
lines of white stitching. ten rows at
a time. Another of her suits Is Of
dark blue mohair with stitchings Of
red silk. This suit was mentioned In
a previous fashion talk. Many OF the
ready-to-wear tailored suits being
brought out for fall have these ef-
fective machine stitchings. 1t takes
the professional operator to do the
straight, even stitchery In many par
allel rows, to say nothing OF the mo-
tit effects. which must be cleverly
stitched around q marked pattern.
There are special machines with five
or six needles which do as many
rows Of stitching in no time at all.
A coat and skirt of dark red serge
illustrates this extravagant use OF
braid and buttons. The entire sur
face Of the coat and skirt Is covered
with soutache braiding In straight.
rows alternating with the loop effect
so fashionable just now. One sort of
braiding crosses another at the foot
of the skirt and on the lower edge
Of the coat. Many more buttons than
are really necessary are also used on
this coat, rows Of these crochet but
tons being set along the outer edge
Of the cuff and on the collar and re-
yer. This suit has a coat which Is
slightly longer than the abbreviated
and jaunty models favored by many
Of the couturiers. and 1t fits the fig
ure quite decidedly In front as we'll
as at the back.

trated today-but only suggested In
a clever manner by a peplum which
has fronts rounded on below the belt.
This costume is particularly graceful
and embraces all the important style
features for fall. The material Is
green velvet-not quite the brilliant
Oriental green which is the color per-
mitted to those who have made the
sacred pilgrimage to Mecca. but q
rich, bottle green with emerald glints
in the light. The satin cuffs and fac
ings on collar and rever are black
with bold stitching done by machine
with white floss. Rows of small white
pearl buttons Joined by white loops
give a jaunty finish on cuffs and tu-
mic, two rows Of these button lad
ders" going down the back OF the
peplum and accentuating the lines Of
the figure-a feature Of the new Paris
tailored wear. The belt Is made OF
crushed black satin with pipings Of
white and the buckles one under
each arm, for the belt goes only half
way round-are Of white pearl. The
velvet skirt Is slashed to show a petit
coat Of the black satin. Not only are
skirts slashed now. but often the sides
CT the slash are turned back to make
the petticoat opening appear V
shaped. This turned back effect Is
suggested on the velvet suit just de-
scribed by a triangular, ornament Of
black braid. stitched at the side OF
the slash.

it's corresponding era In decoration. The
light prettiness, grace and frivolity Of

the dignified and rather stern william

days Of the last century Victorian
fashions-the most hideous Of all fem

cious early Victorian furnishings,
when carved walnut beds and chairs,
erochetted tides, wax flowers under
