the trimming question in itself. Thou
sands and. thousands of buttons are
ready for autumn costumes and not
one kind, but several kinds often en-
bellish single costume. The most
interesting buttons are the Chinese
buttons and the buttons in fruit forms.
One may expect to see miniature
pears, apples and cherries dangling
from my lady's fall suit. each little
button being a perfect replica in
shape and coloring Of the fruit it rep
resents. Less sensational are the
square, acorn and olive shaped but
tons and the ball buttons which are
particularly smart and which prom
ise to be as popular as ever all
through the coming season.
Braids and passementeries will play

the idea may be all absurdity there
is something not quite attractive in
|. the spectacle of woman removing
coat-and waistcoat,-in a restau-
rant or other public place. One of
the most fetching of the waistcoat
blouses is of crepe de chine, a soft
Persian blue in color, opening in
wedge shape over crossed vest of
shadow lace. The edges of the crepe
de chine are heavily corded and the
blouse buttons in double breasted
fashion below the little crossed lace

seled ends fall below the sloping edge
of the cutaway coat.
Some of the lace blouses have vests
of heavier lace in Oriental pattern,
such as venise or Bohemian lace set
in a blouse of shadow or point d'Alen-
con lace. A model of this sort, ac-
companying a tailleur of soft dark
green velvet touched up with dark
fur, has draped sections of green chif-
fon rising in points below the bust
at back and front on either side of
an inset vest of Bohemian lace, the
sleeves and shoulder sections of the
blouse being of shadow lace. Another
waistcoat blouse from Crlstiane, is
of alloyer machine embroidery in pure
white mounted above flesh pink chif-
fon which gives the sheer embroidery
the delicacy of lace. At the front
there is vest of striped Roman silk
in pink, blue and violet, with pointed
tabs below the waistline. This blouse
has long sleeves with deep frlls of
net over the hand.
Hard TO Raise the Arms In New
Blouses.
! Many of the latest blouse models
have kimono cut at the shoulder
| with long sleeves set into very large
armholes. The sleeve tapers to a
tight fit at the forearm, and though
the blouse feels comfortably loose at
the shoulder, it is almost impossible
to raise the arms to the head. Such
a trifiing feature of discomfort as this,
however, matters little to capricious
Dame Fashion. Though long sleeved
blouses are shown in numbers, there
seem to be equal numbers of elbow
and three-quarter sleeved models
among the late blouse arrivals from
Paris, and with these, long wristed

an autumn tailored costume of brown
mohair and worsted mixture.
Another blouse embroidered in
color is the model of white cotton
voile with an embroidered green pat
tern in pine cone and grape design.
The embroidered collar turns down on
second collar of pale green chiffon
and the filet lace vest is laid over
green chiffon. Hemstitching and
small white crochet buttons add
smartness to this dainty lingerie
bIouse-so called. The thinnest
blouses of lingerie type are promised
for mid-winter, and they will assur-
edly be worn during the early fall.
Organdie is a new addition to blouse
materials and this sheer stuff, now
quite without stiffening, is made up
with pintucking and very fine ma
chine embroidery
Two charming chiffon blouses are
pictured. One of coral pink chiffon
opens over a vest of lace and net and
the fullness of the blouse is drawn in
at the waistline under bands cf chen

model Is of blue chiffon in a soft gray
blue shade. and shows the new deep

armhole to the wrist. There is a COL

velvet tie falls over a vest of shirred

SOL what of nuisance to thread
that long strip of braid through the
slashes each time the coat was
donned.
Tassels and frogs also come under
the head of braid trimmings. and if
ever there was tasseled season,
1894 promises to be one. Tassels
are added to sashes, to hoods, to
scarves. to sleeves, to every depend
ing part of woman's costume from
which a tassel can dangle. One
bridge frock that the Scribe saw last
week removed from Paris trunk,
had dozens of little tassels sewed to
bodice and skirt, in rows, like but
tons, and the effect though decidedly
frivolous, was very gay and fetching.
The frocl1 was of heliotrope lans-
downe and the tassels matched exactly
in color.
Some of the frog fastenfngs for
wraps measure nine or ten inches
across and such fastening often has
long tasseled ends depending from 1t.
One may pay as high as seven or
eight dollars for cord fastening of
this character, but of course the trim
ming motif quite makes the gar
ment.
Several new trimmings, picked at
random from the stock of a fashion
able Fifth Avenue shop, are illus
trated. The braid banding is in black
and rich tapestry blue color with
jeweled cabuchons of crystal and
lapis beads sewed to the center of
each medallion motif. Below the
braid band is a handsome applique

Guarding the Complexion

predations.

~ ENEFICIAL as sun and wind are
to the health. they certainly do
IL play havoc with the skin; and a
good time all summer is likely to be
paid for with roughened, coarsened
complexion and dried and faded hair
until strenuous effort and constant
visits to hair and skin specialists have
repaired the ravages of the good old
summer time. The woman who mo-
tors frequently during the summer
should keep on hand a store of cleans
ing cream and apply 1t generously to
her face and neck each time she
comes home from a long ride. The
swift rush of air, combined with the
dust that sifts through the thiekest
motor veil, robs the skin of its fair
ness and softness and makes the com
plexion tough and leathery. This
condition may be prevented by a lib
eral use of the cleansing cream and

that frocks and wraps in themselves

with its dash of vivid color which may
be added in the way of a sash, a
bolero faced with cerise, or bright
green, or blue; collar and cuffs of
post impressionist silk, gay buttons or
some other trimming device of the
sort. Never was there a season when
trimmings played so important a part
in dress, and the untrimmed frock is
likely to look very plain. and prim,
this autumn.
The new ribbons come first among
the novelty trimming materials. Some
of them are half yard wide and the
colors, in rich, glowing shades of the
Orient, are skilfully combined in har-
monious effects, in jacquard and warp
printed patterns; or in the stiff but
modish Futurist and post impression
ist effects. There are also Chinese
ribbons, Egyptian ribbons, and rib
bons in Persian and Vale of Cashmere
designs; and there are cheerful
Scotch plaid ribbons in tartan effects
that are, by the bye, just now the
enormous fad in Paris. Scotch plaid
ribbon sashes and Scotch tam oshan-
ter caps give the Parisienne quite a
lively, Highland appearance and
these effects have been noticeable at
some of the late summer race meets.
A pretty, blonde woman at Trouville
last week wore a short-skirted cos
tune of black worsted and mohair
stuff, the skirt draped up a bit to
show buttoned strap slippers in the
new criss-cross sandal effect. A
dashing little bolero lined with red
silk, opened over blouse of cream
batiste embroidery and flowing tie
of plaid ribbon was matched by a
wide, draped sash, knotted at the hip.
This charming Scotch toilette-ac-
cording to Partisan ideas, was mad.,
complete by black velvet tam hat
dragged down over one ear and show
ing its wearer's blonde hair over the
other ear; and by long wristed
gloves of American make in one Of

and the woman who finds this style
of costume the easy solution of many
sartorial problems may rejoice and be
glad; for whoever dreamed the fash

generation?
This summer on Fifth Avenue, one
might count any day, dozens of
women, the quality of whose gar
ments and the accessories thereof,
proclaimed them to be among the

tie shirtwaists of chiffon, batiste or

somehow or other the effect was not
banal or commonplace, as one has
been led to believe it would be dur
ing the past few seasons when whole
frocks have been having their day
Whole froeks are still the thing for
formal occasions, but the fetching lit
tie blouses are TO be seen at q sur

noon matinees, restaurant lunches and
teas, and afternoon tea-dances at
which the indefatigable youth of

~ lovely and fascinatingly becoming
are these delicate little waists But
there is an effect of substance and
dignity about a chiffon blouse match
ing the color of the tailored suit,
which makes it appeal to the woman
who must study economy in dress
And there is no getting around the
fact that skirt and blouse in one color
do make the figure look more slen-
der than the light blouse and dark
skirt combination. Two shades of
chiffon are dropped, one over the 9TH
er, to make many of the most at
tractive fall blouses; and such a
blouse is never inexpensive for chif-
fon-and especially chiffon in the rich
new shades of the Orient-has its
price Usually dark colored chif-
fon. matching the general color of
the tailored suit, is used over a much
brighter, more vivid shade Some of
the effective combina tons noted in
new blouse models turned out by au-
thoritative makers, are: brown over
canary; blue over copper or red; tan
over green; taupe over rose, and so
on. Sometimes lace is used for the
lining instead of chiffon of contrast
ing tone; and several charming
blouses of dark chiffon have been
mounted over slips of very sheer ma
chine embroidered batiste. One model

nETTICOATS for wear with mid
summer gowns are the most
fetching things imaginable. Some
of them are so soft and fine that they
may be drawn through a bracelet, and
are far cry from the old-fashioned
stiffiy starched and frilled affairs that
used to hold out woman's skirts. In
fact the modern petticoat is not sup
posed to hold out anybody's skirt 1t
is obvious only by its dainty pretti-
ness when the said skirt happens to
be lifted. Silk petticoats have pleated
frills of the silk or of chiffon in two
layers. Lingerie petticoats have
founces of fine machine embroidery,
trimmed with ribbon or with festoons
of little silk roses.
