AD0RNMENT FOR TEA TABLE
Coy Suitable for Practically All Oc-
ocasions May Be Easily and
Cheaply Made.

A coy, as illustrated in the sketch,
will be found most useful and suitable
TOR almost every occasion. 1t is very
simply made, for the covering consists
of two pretty paper serviettes A
Foundation is necessary; cozy pads can
be had in all shapes, sizes and colors.
Select serviettes that fit as neatly
as possible over the pad in question,
an odd pad or cozy can be covered
quite well, so that the idea is an ex-
cellent one for renovating old cozies
at practically no expense. Select the
serviettes as desired. It is a good
plan to choose those that are near
to the tea service in coloring and de-
sign. Do one side at a time; care
fully fix the serviette over and tack
IN place
The other side is done in the same
manner; if there is too much left at
the bottom of the pad to turn under,
cut a portion off. To give a coy a
finished look, put a cord around it
and also around the bottom. This
cord can also be of paper or a silk
cord, according to the choice Of the
worker; if paper is decided upon, it
may be bought by the yard at any

DICTATES or FASHION

Fashion demands that every gown
shall have shoes to harmonic.
Many of the new suits and coats
have decided, close fitting lines.
Redingotes Of white cloth will be ex-
tremely fashionable this fall.
Costumes {! white net or lace are
trimmed with ornaments CT jet.
Scotch plaids and mixtures will be
used for coats. capes end tailored
suits.
Very chic with the tailored rig is
the embroidered waistcoat of white
pique.
Navy blue ard brown and green are
In sale greatest favor for autumn.
Among light colors sand and putty are
chosen.
There is a great demand for plain
STRAIGHT skirts on account of the loHs
coat. Other straight skirts are
plated.
The apron string sash is a pretty
new idea. The strings are fastened
1T fine side seam and are tied in
GOOSE knot at the back.

NATURAL SILK HOSE COMING
Scarcity of Dye Stuffs Has Brought
Fashion to the Rescue, With Most
Excellent Idea.

A week after the European war
broke out it began to be whispered
about, fearsomely, that all the dye
stuffs were tied up across the water
and that American women would
shortly be hard put to, to secure stock
ings to match their boot tops and
their dancing frocks. Sure enough,
dye stuffs are tied up and pink, ciel
blue and bronze stockings are going to
be difficult to get before long-to say
nothing of pure white stockings, for
the scarcity Of dye stuffs includes also
a dearth Of bleaching chemicals.
But fashion has come to the rescue
with a season Of shades in brown and
fawn tones which almost demand the
soft creamy tint of natural silk hose;
that is, stockings that have been
neither bleached nor dyed, but remain
in the natural, pale ecru shade of the
raw silk. With the black frocks and
tailoring which are SO much the mode
this fall, French and English women
are wearing cream net chemisettes
and collars of cream mousseline, and
these creamy belongings are so lovely
with black that they make snow white
look harsh and cheap-as a tub collar
OF cotton lawn looks beside a collar
OF rare old, ivory-tinted lace.
Ivory tinted stockings are in
the exact natural" shade-accompan
the bronze pumps or fawn-topped but
toned frocks CT the mouse brown
crepe de chine or pussy willow taffeta
which are the dernier cri this fall,
the creamy natural silk stockings, ac-
companied by boots with high heels
and buttoned tops os fawn colored kid,
being altogether fetching.
