Cubist designs, and almost
black colors, so dark are they: these
landings are not beautiful and sug-
gest the Bulgarian fad of tints, so
prevalent last spring. rather than an
advanced mode.
Blouses for cool days are to be had
in crepe de chine and crepe chiffon.
the latter made over net. Many have
a distinct vest effect, which is very
ugly, and gives an undesirable man
nish appearance to the wearer
Among the REVEALS of the season
is that old-time favorite, the Turkish
Zouave jacket. At a recent exhibit
ton of new gowns in Paris was one
composed of a three-tier skirt of
white lace, with tulle and lace bodice
and a zouave jacket of dull blue satin
heavily embroidered with soutache in
self color.
The extremely low-cut slippers
worn by the ladies of 1880, with their
straps of velvet or ribbon, are in
fashion.
Outer wrap fastenings should be
the most brilliant, unusual, daring
button or clasp that is obtainable.
Powered frocks in dainty Dresden
colorings of blossoms are to be very
much worn for autumn dances.
Ruchings of black net form an at
tractive trimming for lingerie frocks
and also to outline the edges of
dounces.
For half sea son millinery. as in
the past. felt and velvet hats are
making their appearance. They are
Of medium size, larger than they are
long. with a bowl shaped crown that
is rather high. These hats are worn
raised up in front, showing the face,
and lightly rolled at one side. Some
Of the millinery houses, which are &C.
cupied principally with commission
and expectation, have already exc
cuted a goodly number OF models
which ! have retained for your bene-
fit. Tulle is still used even at this
advanced season as a garniture.
Besides slender silhouettes one sees
others which are made more ample
in appearance by garments that are
vague in shape Pleated basques,
skirts and tunics that drape below
the hips make one think of panniers,
This Illusion is completed by the
gathering and pleating at the waist
line. on studying this further one
sees that the drapery and flounced
movement toward the top of the skirt
makes it appear narrower at the low
err part, making the silhouette there
more slender and fine.
The lower line Of the skirt is rem
dered more uneven by the very
curious manner of cutting the lower
edge of the skirt. Some hens are
much shorter in front than behind,
others are rounded at one side, drap-
ed and notched at the other, or open
ed at right angles, disclosing the I'M
derskirt.
Wood tints and others resembling
tones of dark chestnut brown and IN
Guiding bronze, with which the bronze
shoes are worn, have in this moment
regained their former success. ms
reminds one of the craze for taupe'
which had so great a vogue, with this
difference, that the browns in all the
long scale of tones that one finds In
this color are much more becoming
TO the skin. as it makes it look more
white or pink.
Rrocaded velvets in very bold de-
signs will be much used this fall for
coates. for handsome wraps and for
whole evening dresses. Nearly all the
newest brocades, whether the mate
rial be of satin, velvet or crepe, show
large and striking designs thrown
against a strongly contrasting ground.

conventional designs in vivid shade

Embroidered net Is used for pleat-
ed tunics. and sometimes to fill in
the deep slash at the side or back OF
the skirt So far it has been more
used on black and dark blue, but in
vnlre it is charming and will be MADE
up later for dance gowns OF white or
yellow satin. A coarse kind of white
net is chosen. and the formal flowers
beaded On it are in dull blue and pink
an violet.
The new sleeves have no armholes'

bodice. they have the appearance OF
not touching the body. They fall from
the shoulders in huge folds and are
