seen in all the beat millinery
atudlos and on the heads of all the
notable leaders of society, and tulle
hate of a very elaborate order.

The Parlsiennee are using pal-
heliotrope face powder in conjunc
tion with the new veils. The effect ’»
good when very little powder is used,
but, of course, It is artificial. Deep
yellow face powders have quite gone
out of favor; and no wonder. A few
months ago it was an ordinary thing
to meet a throng of beautifully
dressed women who all looked as
though they were suffering from
jaundice.
• • •
Cut Jet earrings, when the design Is
thin and graceful, are wonderfully be
coming. They have the effect of mak
ing thin faces look round and fat
faces look thin. For morning wear
cut Jet earring* are considered spe
cially correct, and they are worn in
conjunction with handsome Jet hat
pins and very often with elaborate
celnture buckles.

Th» woman who can sew or who
know* a capable and Inexpensive
seamstress can have much dainty un
derwear at a reasonable price. Wide
shadow lace Is now sold at prices
varying from 40 cents to $1. It Is
edged on each aide with holes through
which ribbon Is to be run. and It is
designed for under bodices. One rib
bon Is run through the lower edge, to
gather It In about the waist. Another
Is run through the top edge. Tns
ends of the ribbons are tied In front
and ribbons are fastened across 'he
shoulders.

Patent leather shoes al-waya s boon
to man or womankind, because they
are so easily kept clean and bright,
are made up with kid and cloth In
many styles. One patent leather shoe
naa cloth uppers, In the form of at
tached spat*, with straps going under
the arch of the foot where they are
fastened In the sole. These shoes are
made with spats of purple, tan, gray
and black.
• • •
Shirtwaist gowns made of white
wash net are a novelty. The girdles
worn with these eowna ere made of
black or colored satin, and are worn
at the normal waistline. The hip
sash Is no longer seen on the ultra-
modish costume
• * •
Accordion pleated Indian muslin
and accordion pleated chiffon, these
are the favorite materials for this
season's afternoon dresses, and these
pleatlngs are arranged in many dif
ferent ways. Sometimes the flounces
are placed on the skirt In graduated
widths, sometimes the whole skirt Is
pleated from waist to hem.
• • •
Hatpins when used ut all should be
uncommon and beautiful or they
should be frankly useful, Just ball
headed pins made of Jet. There Is no
excuse for the pretentious pins which
many women wear In conspicuous
parts of their hats. Imitation pearls
and Imitation diamonds of the most
blatant description. A very charm
ing Idea 1b at present finding favor.
This Is a set which Is composed of a
pair of Jeweled hatpins and a veil
brooch to match.
• • •
The new idea in drapery on after
noon and evening gowns is a butterfly
bow at the back between the waist
»nd knees. It is a part of the tunic
and is made by catching up the long
ends at the back and forming them
Into a colossal butterfly which is flat
tened out against the surface of the
gown. Below' this th« skirt is draped
in its usual manner, with long bias
lines reaching from the front.
• • •
For little girls figured dimity para
sols are attractive. They are Inex
pensive and durable and really sim
pler and more childlike than those of
silk.
• • *
All silk blouses should be made
simply. It is now the fashion to omit
tucks and pleats and make a deep
shoulder yoke which in finished with
seam beading or a piping of the ma
terlal. The lowered armhole with a
loose sleeve is by far the best for a
schoolgirl, because it is less likely to
tear out; the length of the sleeve is
for her to decide; the wrist length
is the prettier, but the elbow' length
\s more comfortable and economical.
• • •
The one-piece frock is the bulwark
of the schoolgirl's outfit to-day. It
may be of heavy linen, cotton crash,
or eponge; or it may be of thin serge,
woolen ratine or corduroy. The latter
Is a lasting material and fits in with
school life. It alw’ays has been worn
and it probably always w'ill be.

Plaids in silk and wool both prom

fall season opens. And with the
plaids comes a revival of Roman
stripes.

Fashion Born at French Watering
Places Attains Sudden Vogue
in English Capital.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 30.—Some ravish
ing costumes in violet and white have
been seen at the smart French water
ing places, and London copied them
almost the next day, with the result
that brides-elert are choosing this
color combination for some of their
trousseau gowns.
Miss Glen coats, one of the great
English heiresses, who is marrying
Major Parsons next month, is having
a charming sown made for casino
use. and with it a very original hat
will be w’orn.
To take the violet velvet hat first,
it is copied front Um First Umpire
and bears some resemblance to a
Jockey’s cap, but the up-to-date mil
liner has broadened the erow'n and
brim and turned back the latter in
order to show a circular pleating of
violet tulle.
A band and embroidered buckle in
a similar velvet surround thf* waist,
and shoes of the same material are
worn over violet silk stockings
The dress is in white linen, with
the lower part of the jacket worked
In raised white cotton. I^arge motifs
of Irish point, outlined with narrow’
cord, are incruwted in square nieces
starting from each shoulder, and an
insertion of Valenciennes heads the
wide hem of the skirt beneath a dou
ble row of mother-of-pearl buttons.
A scarf in violet chiffon completes
this pretty dress.
There in a craze at all the fashion
able resorts for oval white felt hats.
These are very simple and easily
packed.
The hats can be made extremely
attractive with a trimming pf black
velvet ribbon, tied plainly around,
with two short ends furnished with
white or silver tassels, but some
smart women have gone considerably
further, and now adorn these simple
hats w’ith red, blue or green necklaces
In uncut stones.
Riot of Exotic Tints Prevails in
Fall Offerings—Nothing Un
der $400 at Worth’s,
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Aug 30.—Paris has gone
color mad If the general effect of the
first display of fall fashions may be
summed up in a single phrase. The
great makers of women’s costumes
are rejoicing at this development.
Goods in colors have never been so
heavily bought as at present, which
is regarded as a healthy sign of busi
ness.
The name of the Russian artist
Leon Bakst is heard on all sides.
Many gowns are named after cos
tumers which he has mounted, espe
cially at Callot Soeurs’. This house,
as usual, was the last to show its
styles, but when It did It outcolored
all the rest. The pisaneile, Its most
gorgeous evening gown, which 1b
named after D’Annunzio’s play. Is a
dazzling arrangement or derangement
In green, w'ith amethyst Jewels and
silver brocade mysterleuse.
About $20 a yard wholesale Is not
an unusual price for the materials for
wraps, w'hlle $6 a yard for double
width silk velvet Is considered a mod
erate price. More ample draperies
are being used, and this makes the
manufacturers happy. Skirts of satin
with knife pleats held in place all
around please them very much, as do
also the long*er coats which Cherut
and Poiret are showing. Some of these
reach to the ankles.
Paquin also has long coats of Louis
XV style with gorgeous waistcoats.
Premet’s wide girdles that pull down
over the hips with no break at the
waist line are much admired. Pre
met’s show pieces with a wired pan
nier on one hip caused much com
ment.
Real Trousers Worn
By Western Woman
Business Demands Dress as Severe
, as Man's, Saye Employee
of Grocery.
STOCKTON. Ang. 30.—Something
new In feminine apparel has been
donned by Mrs. K. Faractas, employed
In the shipping department of a local
wholesale grocery, In the form of a
combination trouser and skirt ault.
"I have worked for the company
for many years,” says Mrs. Faractas.
“In that time I have become con
vinced that the business woman
should adopt a mode of dress as
severely plain as that of man.
During working hours Mrs. Fara-
clas wears the trousers and a soft
black and white boy’s shirt. When
she is on the street, a straight, two-
piece skirt is worn, buttoned onto the
waistband of the trousers and fasten
ed by tailored straps at the side, al
lowing access, however, to all six
trouser pockets.
ONE OF THE COMING COATS.
Here is one of the coats which will be seen this fall. Note the
military effect in the collar and the cuffs. The slit skirt sugges
tion also is made in the cut at the bottom.
tume is made in a soft, wine-colored
taffeta. The skirt 1h side pleated, and
pleats, it is promised, will become
more fashionable as the summer rolls
into fall. The bodice simulates a
jacket, being cut on the bolero lines,
and is edged with a ruchlng of the
taffeta. It slopes into a point in the
back, and is open in the front to dis
play a lace vest and a wide sash of
souple green taffeta arranged to fall
In the back in four loops finished with
deep fringe. A new touch is added by
the collar of black tulle with immense
wings at the sides.
• • •
There is one exception to the high
trimming, and that Is on the velvet
hat with the Tam o’ Shanter crown,
but here the extreme tilt of the hat
lends the ffect of height.
Correctly speaking, the black velvet
costumes, and the Jaunty little white
hat should be saved for the afternoon
hat should be worn in the morning.
Across the water, these white satin
hats are being worn with white linen
frocks and suits. They are smartest
when they are kept very simple. A
few have a touch of color intro
duced In the under facing of the felt
brim, but the majority are all white.
• • •
While the yellow shades are not as
chic as during the summer, they are
considered smart, especially the til -
leul, which resembles an unripe lem
on more than any other color. Tne
canary and the sulphur tones are
also fashionable, particularly f«>r
trimming and where merely a dash of
color is required. For Instance, there
is a very stunning new vesting In a
bright yellow* tone with conventional
flowers in red, which has been or
dered by the knowing couturiers. Be
fore leaving yellow, the soft beige
and biscuit sha<- o should be men
tioned, as they are very well liked in
the lightweight cloths and in silks,
such as charmeuse and satin.
Blue has lost none of Its prestige,
and some authorises say that the new
blue series should be given first place
rather than the copper tii ta. Of the
blues, the new blue a phade deeper
than pea 'ock blue is a great favorite,
and also the corbeau The soft blues
on the Nattier and Dutch order are
very desirable, and the very dark blue
shares the demand for somber color
ings.
The red shades vary widely. There
is a very bright red. an almost bar
baric red, that is very well liked Dy
the couturiers who go In for vivid
colorings, but the majority of rsds
blend into the dregs of wine tints
and the soft brick colorings. For
evening wraps the geranium red is ;n
great demand. There is also a purple
W'ith quantities of red in it, a shade
which Nature has reproduced in the
fuchsia. As against this there is the
vloline, or very deep violet, with a
bluish tinge.
The browns must not be overlooked,
for all of the couturiers have made
much of them, the tobacco and Ha
vana browns leading. A soft, pretty
rose tint was combined with brown
on several very effective costumes.
This rose tint mus. be recorded be
cause it has appeared in many of the
duvetyn coats.
For the street, the dark, rich shades,
the tete de negre, a deep taupe, and
a blue that is almost black are con
sidered the most fashionable. An
other new color Is called heather, a
lovely soft grayish lavender, that is
particularly attractive In a silky tex
ture. There is still a demand for or
ange, which the vogue for both yellow
and red naturally would continue, but
it is used almost exclusively for trim
ming. And everywhere there is silver
—quantities' of silver. Many of the
damask broohes are heavily embroid
ered In silver threads, while silver
lace is considered more chic ..nan gold
lace.
• • t
The majority of skirts are draped,
rather than pleated, and the drapery
is almost as variable in position as
the pleats. On the more dressy tail
ored skirts the front draper is in
evidence, but on the skirts for hard
wear, a slight draping of the front
into the side seam, or a modest drap
ing of the material In the back is
often used The draping of the skirt
on the right hand figure is exceed
ingly well done, and in keeping with
the general style movement of the
autumn.
• • •
A new bag is fashioned from black
taffeta, with small pompadour bou
quets in pink scattered all over it. It
is mounted on a cut steel frame and
the black moire ribbon handles are
run through tiny slides of cut steel A
similar bag is of changeable black
and blue inotre silk mounted on dull
silver. The lower part of the bag is
gathered into a silver inotif which
looks very much like an acorn.
Long, narrow, blue, grosgrain ribbon
handles are added In the white ben-
galine silk lining there Is a pocket for
the mirror and another for the pow
der puff.
• • •
The all-black hat is now being much
worn. The nobby little black velvet
hat hides completely one side of the
face, but tilts far back from the oth
er side, displaying the hair. It is
fixed at a rakish angle, but it is very
becoming to youthful faces, and it
can be adjusted in a more conserva
tive manner, so that it is fitting £oi
women of more mature age.
The becoming anele Is the correct
one for the trimming, and it may be
directly in the front, at the side, or
in the back, but wherever the angle
the trimming is sure to be extrava
gantly high.
