this entirely novel material renders it
quite distinctive. Happily for lovers Of
the beautiful material, broadcloth has
come into its own and is being much
exploited. An extremely beautiful visit
ing costume is made of that material in the
smoke gray that is so much liked this
season. The coat collar and cuffs are
trimmed with narrow bands Of skunk and
the revers and the vest are Of ribbed silk
in wonderful shade Of red that suggests
coral yet is not exactly that, while their
edges are finished with an oriental en-
broidery in wool threads that is delight.
The beautiful color against the back
ground Of quiet toned broadcloth makes a
wonderful effect and for the earlier season
at least, the trimming Of fur is practical
as well as smart. Envcloping scarfs often
are too warm for comfort until mid-winter.
These fur-trimmed costumes arc ad-
mirable from every point Of view. Bands
OF almost every known skin are to be
noted used in such ways and the simplest
are employed by the greatest dressmakers
quite as well as the most costly. Suitings
and trimmings appear to know almost no
limit OF variety. Among the extreme
novelties is silk covert cloth and some of
the handsomest costumes sent over by M.
Worth arc made of that material with
trimming OF fuC The pretty, soft squirrel.
or petit gris" as our French cousins call
it, is to be called into requisition for trim
ming as well as the mole costly skins and
it seems especially well adapted to the
younger contingent. A very beautiful
coat adapted to afternoon or carriage
wear is made Of basket cloth in really
delicious shade Of coral with turban to
match. The collar and cuffs Of the coat
are Of the gray squirrel. The turban is
bound with the fur and trimmed with two
bands round the high crown while at the
left side is simple bunch Of maiden hair
fern. The coat is loose and ample, easy
to slip on and of, and one can fancy a
fresh young face a dream of beauty SO
framed. Women who have found the

SMART fashions tor The COMING SEASON
MAY MANTON'S FASHION
NOTES.

TOR dinner and evening wear. really
sumptuous materials are used:--
there seems hardly any other word
adequate to express their beauty. Bro
caded velvets and silver and gold cmbroid-
cred satins greet one at every turn while
an abundance Of lace is used and the gold
and silver trimmings are marvelously
beautiful. 1t is a season of soft, graceful
effects. The "raggcdy" idea Is con-
stantly appearing and, at its best, it
means very charming results. Even
simple indoor gowns will be made with
trains, although they may he short ones,
and everything that is essentially femi-
nine is smart. Color is superb when it is
rightly handled, for we are seeing a very
generous use Of rich oriental effects and
combinations and trimmings sometimes
are almost barbaric in suggestion. Han
died by trained designers, the results are de-
lightful but danger turks in many beautiful
fabric and many superb trimming, for,
crudely used or unfortunately applied,
they not alone lose their charm but they
become garish and out of taste. The
season is one Of many possibilities and it
behooves each of us to choose our gar
ments with care. Fashion provides. the
best examples and, when such are offered,
1t is surely needless to follow the bad.
Embroideries Of many kinds are being
used and many Of them are distinctly
novel while, not infrequently, really
superb effects are obtained by extremely
simple means. In a notable autumn
trousseau is to be found a gown the founda-
ton of which is dark blue French serge
but it is combined with loosely woven
basket cloth in delightful shade Of buff
and this basket cloth is darned in woods
in oriental coloring to make the richest
possible effect. The gown is not an ex-
tremely elaborate one for the skirt escapes
the floor and it can be worn either within
doors or upon the street under coat, but

at the same time, they are delightful both

are pretty and are much liked and, not
infrequently, they are worn with fasci-
mating little jackets or coates Of lace.
They are fascinatingly lovely. Often these
jackets are finished with tiny bands Of fur
and the effect Of the fur on the lace and
the soft satin is really ravishing. As will be
seen, it is indeed fur season for fur

occasions the new wool velours and hand

favorites for their making. Dressy after.
noon wraps are half-6tted and made with
big, becoming collars, and for the tailored
suits designed for afternoon wear cutaway
coats with picturesque revers and collars
are much worn, but nothing is better than
the Norfolk coat for hard usage and knock
about wear. Both plain skirts and those
that show fatty pressed plaits are smart
this autumn, and altogether the season is
a fascinating one.
Whatever is worn by the mature folk
is apt to be repeated in modified form for
the younger element, and long and three
quarter coats arc much liked by the school
and college girls, while even the little
children are wearing coats in Norfolk
styles as well as plain ones.

THE LATEST ACCESSORIES,

THE LATEST ACCESSORIES.
Every woman knows that the accessories
often make the costume. II the collars,
the grdle, the finish of the sleeves are up
to date the gown will pass even though
it be not the latest cut and design. This
season we are offered an unusual variety
OF collars and grdles. A great many
women like the open throat effect and do
not use the chemisettc, but those little
garments are very convenient. They are
quite separate, and are adjusted under the
blouse so that the gown can be worn
without them as the day and the occasion
require.
Robespicrre collars are favorites, and
the one illustrated can be made with the
big lace frills, with the jabot effect or quite
plain, so that it provides three quite diff
ferent styles.
