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.

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.

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 ise to be very much with us once the fall season opens.

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.
