TIE auturon is ever the sea-on .
 w=aaIr9a ard o' +gcuss4zax and
 costrroea nave sn especial interelt En exceedingly sEnar1 goilZ-s way suit .A-+ hts us Leen co1rpleteo l. made C: L-~etyL ;1 d oeautifI. shaGl e 4,moi.c gteen. 1t consists of a quite untrimmed szirt that is just a i-tles dra ped st the Acnt with over it a tunic tha E shorter dt rle front and longer at the Osc< but which reaches only to the knees at it's longest point. This tunic shows pIaits l.snt at the front, in conformity with the very newest idea, and again at each side of the back, there being a 1ether wide box plait effect at the center. { The coat Is an odd one with slightly full sleeves joined to it at the slightly elongated shoulder line. It is slightly high waisted and the body portiGn is soft and full after the manner of a blouse but there Is little peplum that is much cutaway and which Is finished at each side of the plaits that form the front of the tunic. The trimming consists of a deep collar of mole skin and a little braid on the fancy belt and oddly shaped cuffs To be worn with this costume is a hat of velvet in matching color and there are shoes and stockings that match the tone of the fur while a big mUf of mole-sI1in is designed to be carried herewith Muffs are big and soft and fascinating. They give a finishing touch to the toilette and they allow of infinite coquetry and charm. :: Women who study the art can get from them almost as much as the Spanish woman from her fan and, in any case, they make picturesque effect.
 We are doing all sorts of contradictory things in the matter of dress just now. We wear double skirts and draped skirts over the hips and abdomen; we wear short little jackets and throw them open recklessly; we wear low shoes, no matter what the thermometer may register: but no matter how incongruous, no matter how apparently absurd, the effect Is charming and the feminine mind is content. Incidentally, it may be added that physicians claim that we are hy- gienically clothed as well. Open necks mean hardened conditions and the lack of weight removes pressure. When the day is really cold we can slip on long. loose, enveloping coat over any costume and the coats of the season are fasci- hating in the extreme. It is a season of a great deal of color but nevertheless, black holds its own and black velvet of the new light weight, soft sort Is real delight. A costume that embodies variations of the new features is made of black velvet with trimming of silky black fox. The skirt is perfectly plain and straight but over it is long, draped tunic that falls in folds over the hips. after the manner of the peg top, the front edges of which are Tapped while it is finished at the front and lower edges with a wide band of the fur. There is d little bodice of softly draped, creamy lace.

ous in their beauty. Wonderful
 brOCaded velvets, exquisite laces gleaming silks and satins, and all sorts of beautiful trimmings are used for their making. The much talked of minaret styles have had a certain in fuence and short tunics are much worn and hounced skirts are liked for the younger contingent. Women who like the extreme effect wire the tunics at their lower edges, but the greater num- Der are content with such trimming as fur banding and beaded edges, the very nature of which requires the tunic to stand off little from the foundation skirt
 Lace in all its forms is fashionable. but one of the novelties is lace with the design outlined with pearl or crystal beads and beaded faces make rather important feature of the handsomest gowns. Gold trimmings. and gold lace are extensively used also, and on white satin make an exceedingly beautiful effect. In addition to the lace, net and tulle are in vogue and often they are embroidered by hand with some little delicate tracerv of silk or some design outlined with beads, Bead embroideries on silk and satin are much seen also, and the season is aIto- gether a resplendent one.
 Bodices for evening wear are almost uniformly made with kimono sleeves found in the profusion of beads, in the abundance of gold and in the general brilliancy of evening toilettes. Ere quently one color is arranged over another, and some exceedingly subtle and indescribabl. effects are obtained thereby. We veil everything. Plain silks, embroidered silks and brocaded silks are yelled with tulle and with marquisette, and frequently entire gowns of satin are covered with thin trans parent materials. Not a few of the handsome silks are brocaded with gold and with silver Luxury is expressed in many forms. Many materials are, indeed, so gorgeous as to suggest only royal use, yet they are offered in every day shops and are purchased by every day folk. Fur makes the most fashion able of all trimmings. It is almost ubiquitous, for it appears upon simple blouses as well as upon evening gowns and street costumes, but it appears at its best in combination with rich silk and handsome lace, and often the touch of fur gives the finish and means the distinction found in the model gown that is generally admired without, perhaps the analysis that would reveal that fact. There is harmony to be found in silk, lace and fur that we all feel, and to which the beauty of the combination is due. On light colored gowns the dark brown of the skunk often is more effective than any other color. but all sorts are fash lonable- Pure white ermine is a fancy of the season and is lovely for many uses. For time the absence of the familiar tails left some doubt in the mind as to the genuineness of the skins, but we have learned to know and to admire tailess errnine with its pure, unsuIlied and un- spotted white.

THE SOUTHERN CHAMPIONSHIP

CITY IN JUNE-ELABORATE

Montgomery Country club will be the
southern golf tournament. which will be
held on the local course during the month

about 200 golfers from the various clubs
