trimmed deliberately with lace, some is
embroidered. Even black silk underwear.
trimmed with chantilly lace, is made.
And lovely black negliges. lace trimmed,
to wear over this black underwear, are
also made.
Much Of the new neckwear reflects the
tendency to make a cape Of everything.
Lace and organdy and net are all con-
verted into dainty bits Of neckwear with
big cape sections at the back. The fichu
type of collar is also enjoying a rather
| unexpected hold on our attention. 1t is
often made of fine muslin as part Of a
serge or gabardine frock.
One of the new blue serge frocks shows
wide turnback cuffs and high standing
collar of heavy ecru linen. hemstitched
in an inch-wide hem.
A white satin evening frock is made
with deep tunic of gold net and is but
toned down the front. from the point of
tunic, with big round buttons covered
first with white satin and then with gold
lace.
A little girls frock of blue serge-it
is fabric we'll adapted to the needs of
all ages-is made with a jumper waist
portion cut in one with the skirt. 1t is

Felt hats in English bowler shape have
been worn with cotton frocks for several

Beaver and monkey are two popular
furs this autumn. Furs are widely used
to trim frocks as well as for the collars
and cuffs of coats.
Soutache braid is probably to be much
used In autumn frocks and suits. 1t Is
used on one charming frock of black and
brown. 1t is made of brown satin, with
a black serge tunic and sleeveless jumper
bodice. The tunic was edged with a deep
design in brown soutache, there was a
broad. fiat collar on the bodice of serge
and soutache, and the long. full satin
sleeves ended in deep cuffs of serge al

The new fur coats are to be lined with
bright figured silks in art nouveau de-

and furs is in line with the rich and luxu-
rious note noticeable in SO many of the
new seasons clothes.
Many Of the new handbags are like
miniature satchels in shape. They are
mounted on stiff frameworks, SO that they
