POPULAR BLACK AND WHITE
Almost Sure to Be the Leading
Coiors for the Coming Sea-
sons Costumes.

Black and white, the two most pop
ular colors In the fashion chart,
which suffered a temporary eclipse
early in the summer, are prominently
demonstrated in the fashions where
the pulse of the coming seasons
styles is generally felt by the great
designers Of dress.
THE union of black and white is
certainly a marriage de reason for
1t is both practical and distinguished.
and the fashion has lasted so long
that every one is astonished at so
much consistency in the realm Of fash
ion, which is always full of fantasy
and eager for novelty and change"
says an authentic fashion writer.
Black and whites are the tones
most in vogue for elegant toilettes.
Smart women Of the world are bound
to have white costumes. black cos
tunes and costumes in which black
and white intermingle. Here and
there brighter note is seen; sashes.

colors. but the predominating tones
at all fashionable gatherings are I'm.
doubtedly black and white.
Nothing is so distinguished as black
and white cleverly and artistically
combined. On the one hand are seen
exquisite black dresses made of Gre
pom, taffetas, satin, WITHDRAWING

Black always gives its wearers a
simmer appearance, and there are
some women who do not look well In
white. Still. on the whole. white is
decidedly the prettiest and most suit.

try wear.

Is called the "Geisha" Wide ribbons
are chosen for this, and an ample al
lowance for encircling the waist, since
1t is worn rather high.
The ends are. trimmed diagonally,
and hemmed. The hem is finished with
hem-stitching or bordered with vel
vetribbon in the same color as the
sash. This sash will require three
yards and perhaps little more. 1t de-
ponds upon the length Of the ends.
The shorter one, as a rule, is half a
yard long. The character of the de-
sign admits of shorter ends, but hard

The carefully made and beautiful
girdle shown at the right is approprl
ately called the american Beauty
A soft, wide ribbon in rose shades is
chosen for this, which is designed for
afternoon or evening gowns. The rib
bon Is laid in four plaits and tackled to
stays. The overlapping end of the
girdle is finished with a shallow loop
Just at its base two very realistic
roses (made of ribbon) are posed with
bit of millinery rose foliage and
stems, are sewed to the ribbon and
the stay which finished the end.
Hooks and eyes provide a means of fas-

The story of sashes is long one.
There is the "Wishbone" and the Sui

last particularly effective. Then
there is a big family Of bordered

liant and rich brocades, with which

costumes are made to glow color,

fall and winter that are before us.
And 1t Is the sash more than any
thing else which will provide vivid
touches to enliven our apparel.

MAKE LAWN A BEAUTY SPOT
Now the Time to Give II Attention
That II May Flourish Next
Year

II your lawn is larger than you can
care for properly, plan to have 1t Of
suitable size next year. by filling In
with hardy, thrifty growers that will
take care of themselves.
Don't neglect to drop a few seeds of
perennials in the bare places this
month for boomers next year. Seed
lings cost but little. while plants are
expensive. Many beautiful things can
be raised from a mixed seed package
OF perennials.
Now is a good time to plan changes
in the border and the flower garden. as
one can see tho mistakes made in
planting the tall growers in front OF
the low ones; In grouping Unmatched
plants and mixing inharmonious COM
binations OF colors. Keep a note book
and pencil in hand
In arranging the home lot. whether
for fruit. shade or ornament, plant
the tallest growers well to the rear,
grading down to the lowest, or creep
ing things. letting the rows run east
TO west, that all may have the sun
shine. They can thus be seen to the
best advantage, and prove JOY to the
beholder

lust now it is the soft little hat,
y made of satin or velvet, that every
one wants. Its crown is innocent of
wires and its brim gets along with
only one or two. This hat fits snugly
to the head, comes pretty well down
and makes the hatpin unnecessary.
1t is charming and In addition to its
modest size and comfortable fit. It is
made up In black and in quiet colors.
Black velvet trimmed with black
MORE or satin ribbon, and soft taupe
or mauve crepe with velvet to match
are among the most successful devel-
opments. Black is preeminent. OF a
half dozen smartly dressed women
one is liable to find four of them
wearing the soft little hat in black.
A few sparce and soft feathers are
liked for trimming or a small, close
set bunch of quaint autumn flowers,
or ornaments made of a fabric like

A hat that does early duty in the fan
may take on the splendor of fur and
lace, with touch of vivid color In
ornament or flower, when the snow
flies.
In spite of the prevalent soft crown
and narrow brim there is a wide va
riety In shapes. Hats modelled after
those painted by Rembrandt and
called after the painter, are feature
of the seasons styles. 1t is only when
one studies the work of the artist that
an appreciation of these Rembrandt
hats is possible.
The soft, little hat is carefully made
and carefully finished. Innings are Of
silk always matching the hat in color
and OF a substantial quality. Alto
gether the season presents 30 far the
best standards of quality in styles and
materials that we have had. Judging
from these early hats we are to re-
joice in the popularity of real MILL

IF there are girdle or sashless
/ dresses designed for the new sea-
son. they seem to be keeping out OF
sight. Everything has a sash which
does not define the waist line, but
wanders above and below and around
or diagonally across and terminates
wherever 1t sees fit, sometimes at the
bust, sometimes under the shoulders,
again half way to the knees, and rea-
sonably often somewhere near the
waist line.
Nearly all the girdles are of the new
and beautiful ribbons. Some of them
are OF silk wrapped about the figure
and extending from below the bust to
the swell Of the hips. To sum up the
matter you may wear a sash or a
girdle of any sort of ribbon you choose
and posed to suit yourself.
Four fashionable designs are shown
here. The first is called the ORES
den.' and is made of moire ribbon in
all colors, with border and stripes in
Dresden patterns woven in. 1t con-
sists Of girdle, a short, standing loop
and long falling loop with one end
forming the sash. At the heart of
this two-looped bow is buckle made
of narrow velvet wound over a founda-
ton Of buckram. The velvet Is in a
dark shade of the same color as ap-
pears in the body of the ribbon.
This is one Of the most popular
Of all the many sashes now in vogue.
II requires about three yards or RIB
bon. and is supported by narrow stays
when fitted to the waist.
The girdle without ends pictured
next is called the "Alsatian," taking
its name from the bow of two loops,
and equal in length, which furnishes
1t. 1t is made Of soft. mersa line rib
bon. The heart of the bow is held in
place by two shirrings over soft cord.
A yard and a quarter will make this
girdle for waist of average size,
say "a inches. 1t is an easy matter to
calculate the length required, since 1t
takes a trifle more than a half yard
to make the two loops. Adding to this
the waist measure with q little allow
ance for making and fastening above
or below the waist line. the length re-

PRETTY GRAPE HATS
DESIGNERS HAVE DONE THEIR
BEST WITH THIS MATERIAL.
Really Lovely Effects Produced fos
Those Who Favor That Material
az a Foundation for Their
Millinery.

A few seasons ago there began to
be touches OF white used in the body
Of hats made of black Grape. The
beauty of this fabric was thrown into
prominence by this combination and
1t has been making n steady progress
in the consideration OF designs ever
since.
During the last three seasons en-
tire hats OF white Grape, or hats OF
white with some black Grape intro
duced, have been featured in all dis
plays of fine mourning headwear.
Lovely effects have been wrought
out In this fabric. Flowers and fol-
iage made of It are exquisite. The
finest examples of mourning hats
either in black or white are decorated
work-room made ornaments are the
delight of the designers of mourning
hats because effects are possible In
Grape which cannot be obtained with
other fabrics.
IL has become a matter Of choice
as to color and we may expect to see
white crepe replacing black for sum-
mer hats, while white will be en-
ployed In facings and trimmings on
black Grape for winter wear.
The shapes now In vogue, rather
small and along conservative lines.
give a wide choice to the maker of
Grape hats. The models shown are
fair samples of turbans which one
may see developed in all-white Grape,
all black or in black and white COM
blned In varying proportions.
Besides white. pale gray and blue
lavender tones promise to add furth-
er variety to our mourning headwear.
These colors are shown in the new
English grapes and have been taken
up by New York designers. to whom

Dropping Blouse.

There is one alienation about the
large waist line which was evidently
an afterthought on the part OF the
dressmakers. This is the width OF the
blouse across the back and its full
ness at the waist line. All the fash
ionable blouses are voluminous be
low the arms. and they sag two
inches over the belt. AS you can
easily see. this fullness makes the
waist line more defined and gives
grace to the figure.
Even when the belt Is high. there
is the Same effect of the fullness, and
