sons millinery as it has this autumn
and the French milliners are revealing
in the opportunity of showing their
skill in that most difficult of trim
ming arts, the chic making and posing
of bows. Then, too when the limits of
width are to be surpassed, these same
French milliners turn to the satins,
silks and velvets that come by the
yard, which-they cut on the bias, wire
and form into the most wonderful
bows you ever saw
The exquisite double faced satin rib
bons are especially popular for hat
trimming and are already scarce and
very high in price. An entire crown
may be swathed in such ribbon with
a bow placed near the top of the
crown and carrying its lines on up to
monumental height
So one could run on in definitely on
the subject of hats, were there not so
many important things to he recorded
about frocks. Do not be in a hurry to
put away your summer gowns. or
course the silks and soft satins may
do service all winter for house occa.
ions, but the woman of fashion is 60
ng to wait until she is absolutely COM
PEELED to do so before donning her
autumn frock. New effects in silk and
satin of slightly heavier quality are
coming in as boldly as if we had not
already entered into autumn. The wo-
man who can not afford to be reck-
less in such matters can duplicate
these models in serge and lustrous sur
faced wooden fabrics, for, mind you,
these new silk frocks are not survivals
of summer, but distinctly new styles.
They are in semi-tailored effects
and in black. dark blue and grey on
the taupe order these frocks are very
attractive and look indesclibably well
dashed with bit of vivid color. \
pretty black design has this touch OF
bright color in a piping of brilliant
blue very sparingly used in rundown
collar and cuffs of bright blue chiffon
edged by narrow black fringe. The
narrow fringe finishes the bottom OF
the shirt, too, filling in lightly the
scalloped edge
An additional color note appears III
little buckles of dull yellow suede en-
broidered in dull gold and poised at
the throat and neck front The seal
Hoped edge of the skirt bottom is a
late summer fancy and has held over
into the autumn modes, though it has
not been remarkably successful
The kimona sleeve of this black
rock is another summer note, but one
iinds this irrepressible sleeve bobbing

IT being altogether relegated to the
limbo of past fashions. 1t survives,
ut it no longer reigns, and even
here one finds it it has "A chastened
air, due to a changed out of the side
'ody and under arm seam.
While the elbow sieve has not van
shed, the very smartest of the new
trotting frocks. and of the dressie,
models as well, show the long sleeve
Some Of the long sleeves are merely
long and close-ftting, and these. by
the way are shown to splendid effect
upon some of the new semttailored
shirt waists. In most instances they
are set in smoothly at the shoulder
Others combine an oversleeve of the
modified kimona type with long un
dersleeve, and newer than either are the
long sleeves full at the elbow and just
below the elbow and with a long tight
wrinkly cuff coming down well over
the hand and often finished falline
over the hand.
There is a great deal of black, but
one notices a subsistence in the veal
of black and white, though as usua
some of the most attractive frocks are
in that sort of a combination The
popularity of lace continues and black
lace with white figures is a decoration
from Spain that all women must adj
mire, if the price is too prohibitive
for them to enjoy.
