skim and zibeline. Velvet, imitation
mole and Persian lamb cloth complete
wide variety of the smart fabrics of
the daylight hours.
The jumper effects in dresses which
IS SO popular at the present time, adds
another happy way of combining fab
ecs AMI coiprS. In flille six comes
long tuniced frock with a pleated low
er skirt and jumper basque waist
The sleeves and underarms of this
waist are of soft silk with a Pailsey
design. A close-ftting little hat with
three perky feathers in the front Civ
es extra dash to the costume.
Plaids in gray and festive colors are
always bright note in the seasons
when they are popular. In green's and
blues with touch of red or yellow
they may be used to advantage for the
winter frock, primarily for home wear
but which may fill many wants under
a separate stylish coat. The model il
Illustrated is in dark green with blue
and black stripe checked off with mar
row lines of red. The bodice is in bas-
que effect and the skirt has long tun-
ic which dips to the edge of the lower
skirt in front and graduates higher in
the back. The lower skirt and crush
ed girdle are of black. The flaring
collar and rounding cuffs are of dou-
bled white organdy.
Brocades which embody in them
selves all the sumptuousness of a CEN
fury ago are the fabrics used for eve
ming gowns.
On heavy silk, thin wolfe, chiffon or
velvet, gold, and silver threads are
woven into brocade designs. There
are also velvet brocaded voiles and
chiffons with bit of gold or silver in
or outlining the design. These bro
cades are not stiff as of old, but soft
and pliable, draping most artistically.
Black satin, faille and velvet hold a
strong place among evening gowns.
These are lightened by the use of rib
bon sashes in vivid shades, as well as
by the wonderful Roman striped rib
bons and silks which are very popular
Some of the newest of these show the
Autumn note in their combinations of
russell brown, green and dull red with
always stripe of black. This new
color scheme is also to be seen in the
new taffetas. Taffeta, by the way is
used great deal in combination with
blue serge and gabardine.
For the younger generation come
chiffon voiles with six or eight inch
satin stripe in self color woven on the
edge. TUNES and flounces are made
with this stripe on the edge and with
the plain wolfe for the rest of the
frock. These voiles come in all the
light shades so popular for evening
wear, soft blues, shell pinks, varying
shades of green and in a yellow that
so closely resembles gold that it hard
ly seems possible that it is not the
metal cloth.
The costumes Of the present de-
mand many accessories in the way of
neck wear, and the present tendency
in these dainty lace and organdy eff
fects is toward cape effects. Fichu
effects are also to be seen and are at
tractive addition to a dark frock of
serge. On popular dark blue frocks
are to be seen cuffs and collars in yell
low crepe or ecru linen. One set of
ecru linen had turnback cuffs and
standing collar hemstitched in an inch
wide hem. Another set was of white
linen with yellow stripes about a
quarter of an inch apart. The collar
was high and did not meet in front,
while the turn-back cuffs were wide
and pointed. The edges of collar and
cuffs were bound with yellow to match
the stripe in the linen.
There has been good deal of talk
about the advent Of low heeled shoes,
but, except for the walking shoes with
