A $ comfortable and easy hanging "A as a morning gown but with every mark of afternoon apparel, this de- sign is the simplest of all interpre- tations of our present modes The skirt and bodice appear to be cut in one, but are separate.
 The skirt, made of two pieces in goods of average width, might be draped on the figure from d single width of the widest materials. It is shaped in at the hips and there is a little fullness at the back. The shap- ing and gathers afford just room enough fer the swell of the figure at the hips.
 The waist line is high and very easy in order to make a free move ment of the arms possible It is cut with long shoulders and large arms eyes. The fullness at the bust is ta- ken care of by group of plaits at each side terminating under the belt.
 It is in it's careful finishing touches that the gown displays the talent of It's noted designer. All very simple models must rely upon finish and clev- erness in cut or drapery, to rise out of the class of the commonplace
 The square neck is shaped and fin- ished with a piping of velvet The front is cut into a double breast, the overlapping side fastened down with two buttons. It's lower edge lies over the top of the skirt where bodice and skirt are joined.

MILLINERY so enchanting as that lVl portrayed in these two models for dressy wear does not come under the eye everyday.
 We are so accustomed to good lines in shapes which are fashionable that few people realize how much thought and effort are required to bring out a new variety in the accepted styles. Lines must balance and the effect of trimming be considered. And when the shape is finally made the trim mer must see it's possibilities in con- junction with the trimming stuffs at her command
 A happy combination of shape and trimming is evident in the soft fur hat trimmed with shaded ostrich, shown in the picture. The plain soft crown is Oblong and rather small. The brim has a divided and even roll, turning up from the face but fitting we'll down over the head. The GOV ering of sealskin is a marvel of per feet fitting.
 This shape would be pretty op the head with the simplest of decorations or with none at all But the rich os- trich in natural colorings is exactly suited to it and makes it the most elegant of hats.
 One can hardly imagine costume with which it would not look well, or a face that it would not suit. Not the least of it's attractions is the ap- parent lack of any striving for effect. It seems the simplest of ideas and is indeed only the carrying out of a perception of the fitness of a certain

 he grows larger rapidly, allows the cap to be turned back less, so that he may wear it for some time. Narrow ribbon run through it at the nape of the neck ties in a little bow at the back. This allows the cap to be ad- Iusted to the tiny head and let out afterward as needed. The ties are either of narrow ribbon or soft null. A small close-fitting silk cap may be worn under the knitted cap.
 His little boots and shoes are often made of flannel embroidered with silk and laced with ribbon. They are cut out of a pattern and are soft and pretty. Knitted or crocheted boots are made with quite long tops for the baby's outing, and fastened with soft crochet cord and small zephyr tassels at the ankle.
 When his head and hands and feet have been protected, he has the added comfort of his coat. Finally he is tucked into his carriage under a robe of fur or eiderdpwn and the top ad- justed to protect him from the wind If there is any.
 The baby is sometimes kept too warm in the house, and is fretful on this account. In steam heated apart ments particularly, he will not need 6 lot of fannels. He must always wear his band over the bowels, but pin hing blanket is not needed. He wears flannel petticoat and a light slip. But for house not so warm, or when he goes out, he must have an ample supply of extra clothing.
 His dresses and skirts are not made as long as they used to be. Twenty seven inches now is the standard length. They are not much trimmed, but are made of very fine materials and finished with fine lace edgings, little tucks, small sprays of hand em- broidery and scallops. Feather stitch ing is much admired. One who knows how to sew nicely can make all his be- longings in the best manner at home. JULIA RoTToMLEY.

with a fancy button at each end. It does not encircle all of the waist. al- lowing a straight front appearance (which is smart and clever) in the interval between the ends.
 There is a small turnover collar In the sailor shape. of fine embroidered batiste. The neck is filled in with a folded chemisette of fine figured net. A plaited rufIle of the same net fin ishes the sleeves.
 A strand of large pearls and a long, CT one of smaller pearls finishes the pretty toilette. But pearls might be replaced with strands of any of the many fashionable glass beads that harmonize with the gown in color.
 This model is well adapted to the unusual new shades in which fashion able fabrics are made Mustard col or, gold, green, paprika, mahogany and the curious blues and greens that are displayed in cloth and silk look best when made up in the simplest manner. But the design is good in the colors which we know well, such as royal blue amethyst, golden brown and dark green. It would be pretty developed in black. and is an especial ly good model for velvet
 Colonial slippers and silk stockings are worn with it, and such dress calls for a simple and well dressed coiffure. Like all simple things 1t will not grow tiresome to the wearer, and might be used daily during the reign of our easy going fashions.

trimming to a certain shape.
 An equally beautiful but entirely different model is shown in the sec ond figure. In this the trimmer has thought out a novel and wonderfully pretty arrangement of several trim ming materials in a plain velvet shape. It is unusual and worthy of study and the effect is altogether sue cessful.
 The shape has bonnet-like droop in the brim at the front. There is a short upward lift at the side and to- ward the back. Fine maline finished with hemstitched edge and supported by the tiniest of wires, extends in airy tiers about the front and one side of the crown. Very scant ruffies of 1t fall over the brim, making a soft finish for the edge.
 A folded collar of moire ribbon ex- tends about the crown in a shade of Nattier blue, finished at the back with loops and ends. One large rose in silk and velvet, with a spray of foli- age, is posed on the left brim.
 Finishing the hat Is a bridle made of the ribbon doubled and stitched in- to narrow strip.
 The hair is dressed in the Colonial style with short uneven ringlets at the side, but the coil instead of being placed high, is at the nape of the neck. This arrangement Is demanded by the shape, which could not be worn without sufficient hair at the back to fill in nicely the space under the brim.

French Force Driven Back.
London, Aug. 31.-The advance of
the German right in the direction of
La Fere was admitted in an announce
ment made b. the French ministry of
war at Paris Sunday night. The an
nouncement said:
The progrs ss of the German right
wing has forced our left wing to yield
ground"
The distance which the French
troops have retired is not made
known. Even the place where the en-
gasement took place is not definitely
named.
British Hold Right Wing.
The British troops, which form the
right wing of the army of the allies.
are strongly intrenched and are await
ing the coming of the Germans. A
statement made public by Earl Kitch-
ener, secretary for war, says the Brit
ish troops are fully prepared for a
great battle. At present the British
are not being attacked, and they have
done no fighting since the close of the
great four days battle in the Mons dis
trict, in which. Earl Kitchener admits
the English lost betweeA 5000 and
5000 men Other messages say
French troops have resumed the of
fensive.
A turn in the fortunes of war in
favor of the allies is believed to come
through the concentration of the 81
100000 soldiers on Frances second
line of defense and through the sue
cesses of the Russians in east Prussia.
German Troops Drawn Back.
The Invasion of his eastern territory
has forced the kaiser to Withdraw
nearly all the army left to occupy Bel
GUM. With the consequent weaken
ing of Germans attacking force in
France, the Germans are exposed to
the attack of Frances army, which is
now operating under the protection of
the guns of the strongest fortresses
in the world.
