dress. While many feature the eye- let embroideries which are being her aided at 'every turn, others are de- 1ightful1y void of decoration. For instance, there is a model with two piece tunic gathered at the top and extended above the waist1ine to form a bib-front. A clever arrangement of design makes 1t possible to cut away the tunic at the back, if {. desired, leaving only two gathered panels at each side. The skirt Is a twopfece model closing at the left side seam. Either long or short sleeves may be worn and the dress is stunning with long dark brown gloves and dark furs on coat1ess days.
 In sympathy with the new trend toward long jackets, which may be worn with one-piece dresses as well as with the tailleurs of which they form a part, tunics and the pepIum of blouses seem to be taking on extra length. The latest importatio1s sim plified for the use of home dressmak. CTS give prominence to dress in dark blue serge made in one piece. There is a two-piece gathered skirt which closes at the left side-front, being gathered to fitted underbody. Super imposed upon the skirt is one-piece tunic the ends of which are carried under the belt and thrown over the top to form full drapery. While this style might prove trying for women Of full figure, it is delightfully."- youth full and becoming to thin women. The blouse has short sleeves, an up-stand- ing collar and an inset vest of mate rial which shows through a narrow slit at the front.
 One of the most charming of the new long-waisted models is a dress of nut brown velveteen with panel front cut in one with the girdle. The back is also cut in one piece from neck to hem, being laid in p1a'ts at the waist line. There are broad straps at the side, too wide to be called bands, and , too narrow for panels, and these are looped at the hips to suggest bit of drapery. Heavy silk is used for a touch of embroidery at the lower edge of the front panel. This model is un
 usually adaptable, looking quite as
 well in 2. soft silk as in velveteen o1 velvet.

sufficiently elegant to satisfy the mode critical. They lend themselves congen- tally to all of the arts of fin~ dress making, imparting elegance to the trimmings which 'adorn them, as they are, in turn, adorned, or resting their cause in the smart simplicity of clev- Ter construction.
 Honors seem to be about equally di- vided between serge and tricotine, as both give splendid service. This sea- son, however, tricotine shows itself in larger variety of colorings and also displays an adaptability for color iblendings. The olive tans are lovely example of this new feature of trico- tine. There are clever suits as we'll a; one-piece frocks in olive tan trico- tine.

 White serge and black satin are combined al1uringly in an afternoon frock for Autumn teas and matinees. On the foundation Of satin is draped an overblouse of serge forming panels front and back. The fulness at the waist is held in with a narrow belt and this may be made of black and white braid twisted together, or twists of satin and serge touched here and there with a bit Of embroidery. The panels of the h1ouse offer tempting opportunities for the various new forms of decoration. particularly the eyelet embroidery so easy to do and so elegant to behold.
 A black serge frightened with gay tones of jade and coral has one-piece effect, although skirt and waist are made separately, the skirt being at tached to a fitted underbody.

be cut across the center in both direc- tions. The latter is the better way, and after the straight cuts have been made, the corners may be cut off so that nothing remains inside the line of running stitches but narrow edge of the material. This narrow edge and running stitches should now be concealed beneath over and over stitches. The over and over stitches should be put in smoothly and evenly all around the eyelet and drawn quite tight so that the cut material is drawn close to the running stitches. They should be made as close together as possible without overlapping.

 After several appearances in Aus tralia. Miss Scotney went to Europe under Madame Melba's auspices and was placed with the best teachers of the voice. She then made successful appear ances in opera in London and on the continent, amply justifying the high opinions which had been formed of her Afterward, through Madame Melbas good offices, she came to Amer ica, where she was engaged by MT. Gatti-Caesazza to appear at the Metro- politan opera. She has sung several important roles at New Yorks premier opera house and has invariably made the best possible impression.
 Miss Scotney has an excellent appear ance, strong dramatic sensibilities and, above all, an exquisite purity of vocal tone, which incidentally is somewhat peculiar to Australian voices, and of which Madame Melba herself Is one of the best examples.
 Miss Scotney's appearance in this city will doubtless arouse unusual interest in musical circles and her engagement is distinct feather in the managerial cap of Antonio Scotti.
