FASHION GOSSIP

A T a recent event where fashion con-
 gregates and where styles are fixed it was noticed that the skirts. though falling closely to the figure, were not hampered around the ankles to nearly the same extent as they have been all usmmer. The gowns were made to fall in natural unrestricted folds from the waist, though without any superfluous fullness. This is no doubt the ideal at which smart dress will arrive when it has shaken off the eccentricities that seem inseparable from every novel fashion.
 The new figure is to be much in evil dence this autumn. The idea of it seems to be to suggest a total ab- sence of corsets, with the result that the figure falls in masses immediately above the belt. One of these uncorset- ed effects may pass muster if worn by a slim young girl who carries herself gracefully, but when seen on a plump, middle aged woman there are no ad- jectfves in the dictionary sufficiently

Continental Hats With Eccentric Brims a Fall FanCu

then bind the edge of the hat with white moire ribbon. A narrow band of the moire ribbon should encircle the crown at the base, ending in a tight bow at the left side.
 Many smart tailored hats-small, medium sized and even moderately Iarge-are now in the shops ready for fall wearers. and possibly the best looking of these models are carried out in black and white combinations. A white satin crown with a bTim of black felt or satin makes an attractive mag nie effect. A black and white creation is not new by any means. but such hat is a good investment for the mo- meDt since it can take the place of the battered summer creation and be worn at this time without any intention on the wearer's part of forcing the sea- son."
 Such a hat, too. can very appro- priatelv be added to the winter ward robe so long as it can be kept fresh. Some of these magpie hats have crowns of white silk beaver or white plush with the black brims, but the white satin crown Is really the more servicable. as it shows the soil less readily than the plush. As for trim mings. these models usually boast a panache of feathers. wings or any

fancy mount that one may like to use.
 In shape the favorite this fall for tailored models seems to be a repro- auction of the spring favorite of me- dlum size with square or rounded crown, narrow brim, rolling more or less closely at the side, with the trim mElg set immediately in front of the hat.
 Mighty good looking outing hats for autumn days in the mountains are of corduroy in pretty shapes and com plnatlons Of color. A particularly good looking hat of this description is of tan colored corduroy faced with the same material in brown, and there are other equally attractive creations in mouse gray. ivory white, dead black and pale mole color. All of these shapes are soft, of course, so they can be bent into all kinds of angles to suit the face of the wearer.
 There is, too, a new outing hat of knitted wool that girls who go in for novelties will like It is on the order of the aviator shape that was so popu- lar last winter. The crown is much the same as the old model, but the brim differs. It can be turned up or down all round or only partly turned up as one does with panama

How to Avoid Having COrnS

THERE is so much said concerning
 the cure of corns that the "ounce of prevention' is frequently overlook ed. It is only partly true that corns are caused from badly fitted shoes. Americans have the best fitting foot wear in the world and the worst corns. European peasants have the worst shoes in the world and hardly any corns. If an i'll fitting shoe is to be blamed for everything, what ought the condition of the French or German peasant to be who wears a whittled out log of a shoe and stuffs straw in it to keep his feet warm?
 It has been found out that corns are due primarily to accumulation of dead skin upon the foot, setting up a point of contact and irritation, which finally becomes inhamed, and fre- Quently the inflammation becomes
 chronic. But it need never have start ed. Dead skin accumulates because the
 foot is shut off from air, and there
 fore, while more skin is being grown underneath all the time, there is no
 process of removal from the outside. This has a double effect. Not only does
 
 dry, scuffy skin does not allow the per spiration to pass through, and this be- ing stopped in it's natural channels adds to the inflammation that has al ready begun. With the skin of the foot
 in this unhealthy condition the pres sure of the shoe readily sets up mor- bid process, and the corn is under way, says a well known chiropodist.
 tn1t ic e
 for the prevention of corns. and if this was used by mothers for their children and carried out throughout life it
 would almost drive the chiropodist out of business Coupled with the wear | ing of airy shoes 1t would do so en- l tirely. This method of prevention consists of rubbing the foot hard with
 coarse towel after changing stock ings at the end of the day. The skin | of the feet may be a little tender at | first but this is the surest sign that the treatment is necessary. It will al | most entirely prevent the acquirement | of corns and even to those who are af- | ficted it will be found of the greatest 1 benefit. for it will keep the pores of l the skin of the foot well open and in l this way relieve the congestion around l the inflamed point.
 | The simple device of having two eye |, let holes put in the shoe on the inner 1 side of the arch of the foot for all shoes | except heavy footwear is also an aid l in this precaution. Any cobbler can | put them In. It is a great pity that more care is not taken of the feet, for
 many an illness has proved fatal which l otherwise would not have been so but l for the fact that for many years the | resisting power of the constitution has | been sapped by the unceasing con- l sciousness of pain.

Is natty little outing model of felt with a rolling sailor brim faced with velvet. A binding of braid finishes the edge of the brim, and there is band of velvet and braid around the crown. one end catching the brim.
 The continental hat is to the fore this fall, and the one pictured is of blue
 velvet trimmed with an ornament made of old gold lace. Eccentric brims are all the rage, and this model has a
 brim that towers higher than the
 crown.
 The little fall turban among the cuts
 is very smart with its big bag crown
 of dark velvet over a turned back brim
 of white plush. The white flower made
 of braid. Is effective against the dark velvet.
 Another cut shows a hat that turns
 away abruptly from the face and trimmed merely with an aigret. The
 suit worn with this confection Is a very fetching French affair, with a
 skirt of black broadcloth and a coat
 of black and white velveteen. The coat is semibelted and has the smart
 cutaway front. A feature is the dou-
 ble Robespierre collar. that on the coat
 being overlapped by the collar of the vest, which is of white broadcloth. There is a rumor that hand bags and
 hats are going to match this autumn
 or at least harmonize in color with the new headgear. And there Is also Q
 hint from gay Paree that they are go- ing to be more of the suit case size than of the steamer trunk variety that women have burdened themselves with for the mast few seasons
 I wonder what people did before the 1 days of the hand bags! Women put | little of everything in them. I saw one emptied recently, and a boys pocket was a simple speller beside 1t. There were handkerchiefs and powder puffs and a small comb and a note I book and a manuscript and smelling | salts and samples of fall materials and ''The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius." | wonder what the Parisian women do who change their hand bags with their dresses! They must spend most of their time removing the debris from I one bag to another.

RINGS TEAR STOCKINGS.

MANY women who wear silk stock
 ings complain of small rips and broken stitches and imagine that the stockings are faulty of make, but this is not always the difficulty. The cause of the little break often comes from running ones hand within the stock ings while rings are on the fingers. These rings and the stones in them catch the tiny threads and break them, causing the damage.
