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 a straight
skirt, and with graceful coat which
defines the figure and has a peplum
below the waistline. A cord girdle
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
tun1c.
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 q
shirred band and soft bow Of hya-
cinth silk.

TT always seems a pity to shut out
summer; but when once the keen
equinoctial winds begin to blow.
dead brown leaves lie fiattened
against wet sidewalks and the city
lights CLEAN out long before dinner
hour, there is a sense Of comfort and
cosiness in drawing substantial drap-
cries across the windows and seeking
| enjoyment in pleasantly lighted
room rather than in the bleak out-of-
doors.
Winter draperies are always richer,
heavier and handsomer than those Of
the summer season, but this year
there is tendency toward even more
richness and heaviness than hereto
fore and velvet, brocade and tapestry
window hangings will be much the
vogue-when they can be afforded. 1t
is we'll known fact that house fur
nishings change with changing FASH
ions and every period Of dress has had
it's corresponding era in decoration. The
light prettiness, grace and frivolity Of
the French period of the Louis period
in decoration is in vivid contrast to
the dignified and rather stern William
and Mary period. During the earty
days of the last century Victorian
fashions-the most hideous Of all fem
iLine fashions since the beginning
CT ti1ne-were matched by the afro
cious early Victorian furnishings,
when carved walnut beds and chairs,
erochetted tides, wax flowers under
glass globes, absurd what nots'' and
other meaningless decorations made
oil interiors hideous.

effects have been favored in accord

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 draperies,
laced. shirred and beruftled, but these
ornate hangings are out Of place on
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. If economy Is an
object, the plain net curtains with
border Of some effective braid lace
will be found most satisfactory. Such
curtain, of cream net with q renais-
sance lace trimming, Is illustrated.

Elaborate Trimmings ON Cloth Suits.

Elaborate Trimmings ON Cloth Suits.
Even the simplest suits of wool ma
terial are much trimmed with braid
ing, buttons and satin facings. and
there is a 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 it is now being cop
led by other dressmakers. for Moth
ing so smart has been thought Of In
many a day for the garnishing Of
sombre tailored costumes. Paquin
shows a 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
q 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-
tif effects. which must be cleverly
StltCneO arOuuU u MdThSU PdIISA La
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 effec
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 fg-
ure quite decidedly in front as well
as at the back.

Of the dressy tailored models. and
are very loose at the lower edge. The
lines Of the coat are graceful and the
model Is well suited to slender fig
ure. The panel hanging at the front
Of the coat Is 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 hat Of white felt roll

with black. A single ornament Of dull
gold set with coral holds the brim

The third sort Of window hangings
are the draperies of substantial ma
terial which make q frame Of the

grace. Festooned effects are becom-
ing more and more fashionable and
sometimes three and even four full
length curtains are used to malo
these elaborate festoons across the
window. An illustration shows q wide
hall window draped with festoon
hangings in q graceful yet formal
style. Such draperies are very hard
to manage and the amateur would
better not attempt them, but confine
her efforts to- simple straight hang

sounds rather bedraggled. but this Is
very modish location for fringe,
and some dressmakers do not even
add the under petticoat Of satin. the
fringe dangling flimsily around the
wearer's insteps and ankles. A CAL
lot suit of black cloth has limp
underskirt Of black satin, the cloth
tunic coming only to the knee, and
the satin petticoat is 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 gkirts
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 the
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
riesh tinted silk stockings are worn
with these skirts in rather startling
effect.
A Bechofr- David costume illustrates
both the use of fringe a. q 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 the material.
The fchu drspery 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 Is but
toned over to the side portion with .

open in slashed effect. A feature Of
this gown is the short, loose sleeve
worn over q full undersleevo which
is stiffened with q loop.
