 Ffinge-~wih be -Seen on. nearly al of the new costumes for afternoon an6 evening welr, on house gowns, negli- gee, parasols and even on hats.
 The early fall tendency in tailored suits is strongly toward suits having trimming on the collars, cuffs and re. vers and occasionally on the skirts.
 Buttons are very prominent. Even. ing dresses show button trimming o1 the simulated buttons made of rhine stones, with various styles of beads.
 Long coats are the new features or tailored suit. Long sleeves, also have been shown by many designers, but nc dictum is this matter is yet absolute
 New black waists specially design ed for mourning wear are trimmed either in crepe or plain black. They show wide collars, girdles and sur- plice lines.
 In street coats the regulation sleeve still prevails, but many novel effects are produced by the trimming of the cuffs, which are made to correspond with the collar
 Single revers on coats are used with beautiful pleatings of lace and null peepifg1 fofeh 2inJ all their glory. The pliss,s -the~ -iabot and the cravat are decidedly to be reckoned with in the winter outfit.
 Fur on the edge of hats, coats, wraps and gowns will again be worn. Tailless ermine holds first place for evening as trimming on nuffs, Scarfs and wraps.
 A double row of buttons O. em- loops of silk or embroidery trim many of the smartest models from the neck down to the bottom of the skirt, or from e waist lime down.
 Black velvet has been made up in- to long coats for afternoon wear. fhn ifo newest thing. Frequently straight coat will have an outer capelike ar engagement reaching to the hem of the skirt.
 The kimono sleeve continues to be used a great deal in evening wraps. inrnes.below the s1oulderaline, but in every Lease it is made sufficiently large flor the garment ito be easily slipped or off.
 One of the new millinery shapes is called the gable, because it is shaped just like gable house. Its two sides slant down sharply from the top of the head to below the ears, and the trimming is usually a daring and de- liant bow perched on one side.
 Ermine, seal musquash. baum mar ten.-tnE-fux,---sii,rrli --si,rrli1zr.-=--hne4f-iynx and white lynx, Australian opossum and yellow fox are alr exploited in the new stoles, pelerines and muffs. Some of the long stoles are particularly grace ful. being fashioned on the fichu-pel- crime effect.
 Some of the new fall waists show the cheyenne effect. This is acquir- ed by the use of embroidery edging below the shortened waist line, mar row Iaces being employed to finish off the bottom edge of the embroid- es14QA&ofszEhs llzisssz
 The vogue for fringe on outer gar ments has tended to stimulate inter- est in fringe trimming for p,tticoats. While this form of finishing was att tempted last season, it was not fea- tured to any extent, but there is now a large showing of ruffles edged with fringe. Trimmings are lavishly used on all except the most practical and service able of street frocks. Narrow and widel! !b6nd5H of -fW, T1Eee yelled with chiffon or net, silk embroiderfes, gold and silver galoons and faces, flounces and bandings of both black and white chantily are all modish.
 The woman who has pumps and who does not wish to get high shoes until late in the fall can now use her cloth gaiters and be very much in style White ones are quite the fash ion and their rivals are pearl gray. These are worn with the black shoes with all kinds of gowns that are short and for the street.
 The coming season will be velvet season beyond a doubt, and moreover the rich effect of the fabric will be deepened by the combination of rare furs, silk passementerie and other haboro&e ornamentation.
