XVTITH the coming of real autumn
 M weather news of velvet and fur
 and all that means warmth will be welcome At all events, they arc being exploited in really fascinating forms and some wonderful effects of materials and of colors are to be met. As has been stated again and again, this is a season of silks, of the richest brocades and of brilliant metallic effects and as a matter of course, when such materials are used, the designs of the garments must be compara- lively simple if good effects are to obtain. But since there are just as many of the fluffy nets, laces and hlmy materials of the sort as there are of the rich and heavy ones, extremes may fairly be said to meet, for on the one hand we will see velvets and brocaded silks developed on almost severe lines, while on the other will be exploited net or net with chiffon elaborated by every known device. An exceedingly beautiful gown, is for example, made of white taffeta bro caded with gold in a floral design. The skirt is draped over the hips in burnous style and is edged at the tottom with a band of skunk fur. The bodice consists of gold lace draped around the figure under the arms with gold banding attached at the front, passed over the shoulders and crossed surplice style at the back, and where the ends of the banding arc joined to the bodice. are small cabouchons, showing a brilliant stone in the center of each. Another of the velvets known as waterfall and which is one of the loveliest of the Rodier pro ductiou. is of watermelon pink, with e perfectly plain, almost severe bodice teid oyer the shoulders with straps tcintillating teads in the same color and with a skirt that is draped most beautifully. but is quite untrimmed anG which is finished with a girdle that also is oi the beads A quite different costume and one which exemplhes the other side of the picture, is of richly beaded lace combined with turquoise blue tafeta There is an under-skirt of the beaded lace founcing and a tunic of the silk which forms a point at the front and one at the back and one at each side and at the front, it is richly and evenly heavily em- broidered with pearl and crystal beads. The bodice consists of the beaded net draped effectively over the shoulders and hanging in modified cape-efiect at the back. Net is arranged over silk foundations made elaborate in many different ways, with uches, with band;ngs, with flower trimmings and what-nots. As will be seen, sach woman is free to choose, the rich and beautiful material made simply, or the lighter and thinner fabrics berm- fled and elaborated in various ways,
 Black relieved by silver, by gold or by bits of color is a pronounced favorite. A charming gown, avail able for many needs, is made of black velvet with a plain, straight skirt. shirred at the upper edge and with a plain bodice which forms a deep V and at the front and one at the back, over a guimpe of silver tissue, which forms a smaller V and has short kmono sleeves, the over-bodice being quite sleeveless. with big arm-holes which reveal the silver in the most attractive way Al the waist line is arranged a single rose of brilliant color.
