During the summer a great many
women invested in those new reversible

a contrasting color. These garments
still retain their popularity, as they
may be made available for either street
The bright-colOrCd Innings make them
appropriate for t1eater wear. The

One Of the most delightful little ideas
1 have ever seen for an invalids room
is the attractive little glass tlay, con-
tanning pitcher. lumber aid candle

has a subdued shade. Of green and red
cretonne. The little tray costs SIS and
is on sale in a china store not far from
Twelfth and F streets.

counts for its zephyr weight. 1t is ideal
for a little weekend trip. II is lined

l dropped into a fashion exhibit this
morning and looked at the new tailored
suits for fall and early winter wear
that a dealer on F street, near Thir-
II, lee
a well-known house, and the material
from hitch they are made is guaran-
teed for two seasons wear without
growing shabby or shiny. They are
specially priced this week at SIS. Many
of the suits will sell later in the season
for SIS and $50. so / am told. There are
several blacks, navies, and browns in
the lot, and many of them are touched
up with velvet of contrasting color,
making them more dressy than the or
binary tailored suit
The fall of 1911 will see some radical
changes in the sort Of bag the modish
woman will carry on her shopping and
calling trips. The big leather bag,
which had its place in the scheme of
things. though no one denies it's .ugli-
ness, has faded from view, and the
small bag of soft leather is now the
thing. Some red morocco bags, such as
opera of Faust are being shown. and
are said to be the latest cry in Paris
and New York. They are fitted with a
small purse and have long silken cords,
finished with a tiny tassel. They are
worn suspended from the right shout
der. in cavalier fashion. The price Is
$125.
In a large department store. situated
on Pennsylvania avenue, the prettiest
tete a tete breakfast sets are Being
shown for $780, They are in white and
gold, and can be marked with an In
itial or monogram. These would make
one of the smartest and most accept
able of wedding presents possible.
Some very odd candlesticks, which the
dealer assured me were antiques, are
being offered in little store on Penn
sylvania avenue, near Third street
northwest They were hammered brass,
and the price was 81 apiece. A candel-
abrum at the same store was only 81,
which is exceedingly cheap for gen.
uine antique pice of this size.
