VINO must economic will find it is cas-
| Ter to get an effect of fineness and
daintiness in net and lace, than in
linen or batiste, if one has but little
money to spend. Of course the net
and lace frills are not suitable with
every sort of blouse, but they figure
very prominently in the autumn show
ing.
Coats and coat suits are command
ing more attention with the approach
OF cool weather, and that old stand
by, serge, has lost not bit of its
prestige, to judge by the number of
modes developed in the fabric Silk
serge is one of the materials ideal
and there is a new sort of crepe de
chine with a thread or two or worsted
in it that is to be reckoned with. It
Is about the same weight as serge,
perhaps little more dressy for all
round occasions, and very durable.
Also it comes in a very satisfactory
range of colors. Lined and nterlined,
these new crepe de chimes will be
used for entire tailored suits as well
as coats during the winter
One cannot speak of new materials
very long without bringing up some
mention of striped effects. Striped
cloths and silks are made up with
swathing collars, revers and cuffs of
} woolly materials such as raine and
polo cloth, or with silky-haired ones
like camels hair, and its counterpart
zibeline. Then there are a number of
new smooth-surfaced English cloths
, that come in plain and striking plaid
/ effects that are used equally for the
cody Of the garment and for trimming
; and there is the unusual quota of two
faced materials of which mention has
been made already and which are al
ways to he depended upon for novel
D manipulation.
There are all sorts of odd, uneXpect-
p ed ideas expressed in coats. yet no
S one could criticize the daring of them

- the finished garment-the end elways

tain it. All of the coats, whatever
