White organdie has been and still
is in great favor.
Odd velvet coats will be worn with
cloth or rep serge skirts.
Chiffon sleeves seem to be as much
as ever in favor for fall dresses.
Black lace dresses with many
ruches at the hem are certainly charm
ing and distinguished looking
All sorts of trimmings are being
used as borders to fabrics and many
stuffs are woven with borders which
come in most useful for trimmings
Silk braiding is being much used as
a trimming on tailormades, and ful
is being put on in bands = throat
bands. cuffs, bands round the skirt
and 50 on.
The coatee blouse will probably be
much in evidence as the autumn sea
son advances and will be in velvet and
brocade, with sleeves of georgette
The long sleeves are tight fitting
all the way down and there is more
than a hint of the early and middle
nineteenth century in the cut of the
bodices.

country which is now universally rec
ognized. Religious freedom is held
to be essential to national greatness.
Let us see briefly what this means

longs, of course, to the strict orthodox
Greek church
The Baltic provinces are Lutheran.
Finland is Protestant, the southwest
ern provinces contain large proper
ton of Roman Catholics and Jews; in
the Crimea and is the middle Volga

Caucasus is perfect babel OF Ian
guages and consequently of creeds.
Religious tolerance. initiated by the
reforming car, Alexander ii, is one
of the tenets of government, and is
nominally in force all over the EN-
