Now It's the 'After-Dinner RinN
•I* • *1*
WOMEN DON IT AFTER THE LA8T COURSE
Three designs of the “after-dinner ring.”

By MME. HAUTE MONDE.
A LACE evening wrap, lined with
chiffon or moufwellne, and
trimmed with bands of white
fur, seemed odd when it was intro
duced in the hotetst part of the sum
mer. Now that summer is coming to
an end these filmy, fur-trimmed gar
ments have a charm which is Irresisti
ble
• • •
Suede leather hats are shown In
becoming styles for the motorist. They
are by far the most sensible hats for
motoring that have yet been designed.
They fold a* compactly and conve
niently as silk hats and do not wrin
kle so easily. They can be made in
dustproof colors and so are durable
and easily cared for. They are gener
ally trimmed with stitched bands and
flat stitched bows of silk in a har
monizing shade. One hat, of gray
•uede, is trimmed with dull blue silk.
Another, of tan, la trimmed with
brown.
• • •
For the autotst there is a dainty au
tomobile veil sold. It costs two and a
half dollars The veil Is made from a
piece of chiffon perhaps a yard long.
It Is split through the center for half
its length and the raw edges are
hemmed. The end is bunched up and
fastened under a button of gold braid
In this way a sort of cap, with two
ends to tie under the chin, Is formed.
The button goes right In the middle
of the forehead, and the fullness ac
commodates the hair.
• • •
Buttons and bows are to share the
work of trimming this autumn. But
tons are still much used for trimming
tailored suits. And bows are used as
they have not been used for years.
One French frock shows a long tunic
of whits chiffon, with bows of blue
ribbon extending from neck to knees.
The satin undershirt has a double
row of small white satin buttons
down the front from knees to hems
—so combining two smart methods
of trimming.
• • •
Leather and suede are popular for
many of the accessories of woman’s
dress One of the neWest things la
the wide hip belt—a sort of leather
peplum fitted to the flare of the hips,
and twelve or fourteen Inches wide.
These belts are fastened with ball
and socket fastenings under little
pearl buttons. They are lined with
silk In self color.
• • •
Net still forms a big part of wo
man’s neckwear. One of its chief
claims to liking it can be so artis
tically combined with any sort of
lace. Baby Irish, Valenciennes, sha
dow, Llerre or any other sort of lace
suitable for neckwear combines well
with net of some quality.
» • •
The woman who has old clothes to
make over can still rejoice in the fact
that several contrasting materials are
used in most of the fashionable
frocka Evening gowns, for Instance,
can combine velvet, satin and chiffon
or lace; afternoon gowns can com
bine plalded and plain silk, silk and
poplin, silk and charmeuse, and many
other materials.
• • •
Tha scarf sleeve is a dainty addi
tion to the evening frock. The sleeves,
diminutive In length, are formed of
chiffon, and each continues in a long
•carf which Is caught loosely in at the
waist. The sleeves and scarf ends
can be either of the same color as the
rest of the gown, or of contrasting
figured chiffon, If the gown Is of plain
material.
• • •
The tunic’s position in autumn
fashions becomes more and more
firmly established. With a tunic of
one fabric over a draped skirt of
another fabric no gown can go far
wrong these days. The tunic falls
Just below the hips ami is belted in
jat the waist with a girdle or sash.

Lovely little dancing frocks for Sep

airily shirred over colored silk. Tullo
dancing frocks were excessively pop
ular a generation ago, when every
debutante came out in clouds ct
snowy tulle, and there is assured'y
something especially youthful and
lovely in the diaphanous white stuff
when worn by graceful young girl
hood.
• • •
Raglan overcoats hanging In
straight, mannish lines, or belted per
haps only across the back, are more
fancied by young women who keep up
with snappy styles than the belted
Mackinaw coat. These cozy raglan
coats are worn with simple frocks of
serge or mohair, or with separate
skirts or blouses. The skirt is usually
short enough to show the buttoned
boot well above the instep.

There are many beautiful flexib’e
bracelets. But the prettiest new
bracelet is made up of fourteen sec
tions hinged together, seven resem
bling posts as the other lengths do
intersecting fence. They are set with
line blue white diamonds in hand
somely cut platinum of most intricate
design.

Paris promises the sheerest lace
and embroidery blouses for winter
wear with tailored suits, and here Is
a typical French blouse for fall, made
by Crlstlane and showing the gay
little waistcoat of silk, which is jus r -
now the craze with cutaway coats
This Crlstlane blouse is of tucked
white organdie and very tine ma
chine embroidery. Net frills fall from
the wrists, and the sleeve, tucked at
the low armhole and pulling out be-
lovr the elbow, is very chic. The
waistcoat is of black and yellow silk
with hand embroidery in yellow and
white.
• • •
That the autumn blouse Is to be a
very dressy little #ffair is proved by
this new model, which combines two
shades of chiffon, cream lace, velvet
and satin ribbon, some handsome wlik
passementerie and a yard or so of
skunk fur. Two colors of chiffon,
one over the other, achieve a very
soft, harmonious effect, which is no
table In the new- blouses for wear
with autumn suits. Brown chiffon U
used in this case over gold chiffon,
and the girdle of brown velvet and
silK has a side, vertically posed bow.
The passementerie Is black and the
fur dark brown. The touch of creamy
lace in Medici collar and frill* re
lieves the darker fabrics.
• • • •
Restaurant frocks for early autumn
wear are accompanied by long glove-i
of embroidered silk. The gloves are
often drawn off in the theater now
—always in the restaurant—and the
silken glove Is much easier to pull
on and off than the one of kid. These
silk gloves are of exquisitely line,
close weave, and the embroideries are
done in nelf-coh*r or daintily con
tracting effect. White flesh tint, very
pale buff and tan are the favorite
color*
• « •
The white coreet cover run with
baby ribbon does not show coyly
through the modern blouse, sheer and
flue as is the latter. Such ribbon-run
lingerie is not considered good taste
—when visible—these days, and its
place is taken by the lace or tucked
n^t brassiere on which wide Matin
are mounted frankly as a
trimming. 8ome of these sheer
blouses have slips of tlesh-colore.l
chiffon beneath, which gives a sug
gestively transparent effect without
being really transparent for thin as
it it*, chiffon in two layers is really
not transparent at all.

I the new silhouette has been In vogue
since May, but In this section of the
country, It Is only now being adopted
as a general thing. This winter we
shall see all women who aspire to
any degree of la mode adopt the new
silhouette
One must etand out like a lamp
shade between the hips and knees;
not In the form of a pannier, not In
the form of drapery, but In the form
of the tunic which Is wired to swing
awav from the figure and make a
vivid contrast between Its slimness
and the width of the outer line
When a woman's figure can not
stand a straight line around It she
must dip the tunic down at the back,
and if she cares not how large is her
waist measurement, she will raise it
for two Inches at the front waist fine,
and arrange it In two box pleats.
• « •
The women of fashion now have
waists almost as large as their shoul-
I ders. There are no hips, but the wide
I circle formed above the knees, and
j the extraordinary waist line, made
larger by folds and roses and butter
fly bows, makes a woman's feet and
' head look like pin points.
This .Latest Jewel Fad Keeps the Fingers of the
Wearer Stiff and Costs .
The after-dinner ring!
It was a long time coming, but it
is here at last!
New York Jewelers are working
their heads off to-day in a desperate
effort to 1111 the demand for them
from fashionable women folk along
Fifth avenue.
With the success of the latest freak
In feminine Anger wear, designers in
the “diamond belt” are preparing to
announce the following, so that mi
lady will' be well taken care of, no
matter when she dines:
The after-breakfiust pearl ring.
The after-lunch ruby ring.
The after-tea opal ring.
The ring is designed exclusively
for women, and they run from $500
up, according to the size of the bank
account. One of them, now being dis
played by a shopkeeper, while bear
ing uo price tag, was reported to be
worth $2,500.
A small lost advertisement inserted
In a paper recently led to the dis
covery of the new fad in feminine
adornment. It was the smallest kind
of a small "ad,” reading as follows:
Diamond setter, while working,
dropped diamond after-dinner
ring out of window; liberal re
ward.
“Oh, the diamond after-dinner
ring.” said a jeweler. “Yes, it is some
thing new in its line. It is put up
in several designs, the majority of
them, however, being of a plain gold
band, with a diamond shaped top
measuring in some instances one and
one-half inches long, or running so
far up the Anger that it covers the.
first joint, compelling the wearer to
keep her Anger perfectly straight all
the time.
“Its name suggests when it is
worn, although some women prefer
to wear it before dinner. None, how
ever, according to etiquette, must
wear it during dinner. Most of the
women carry it in a small chamois
bag, fastened inside their corsage,
when they appear for dinner, but im
mediately after the Anal course,
place it on the Anger and wear it
during the rest of the evening.
“If it was something new in the
atricals It would be called a ‘hit.’
That 1h the best word I can think of
to fit the success it has met with up
to this time. There is no telling how
far the fad will go before it drops
into the past.”
The number of stones in the after-
dinner ring run anywhere from thirty
to seventy-five, of various sizes and
cuts, with a large diamond, larger
than all the rest, nestling in the
midst. All the stones are in platinum
setting, which acids considerably to
their brilliancy.
Many of those who have already
purchased an after-dinner ring have
had the larger center diamond re
placed with a pearl of the first water,
while, In other cases, the ruby has
supplanted the diamond.
Veils Are In Again
Veil weather is coming back again
in America, and with it a big showing
of interesting weaves and designs on
the part of the makers of veils.
The most Interesting of the new
veils are imported. Frenchwomen, it
is said, are not paving much atten
tion to veils this season, but Ameri
can women always like them. They
are called “novelties.” Like many
new things, this “novelty” veiling is
expensive—partly because it is weil
made. The mesh is of rather heavy
cotton threads, woven together to
form lacelike patterns on various
sorts of backgrounds
Some of the grounds are of almost
tullellke fineness, and some are lined
heavily with threads running parallel
to each other, all in one direction,
from end to end of the veiling. Some
have checked backgrounds, squared
off with heavy threads. This veiling
Is made in both black and white.
These new veils are worn trimly
and snugly fitted over the hat brim,
and are then drawn over the face,
slacked a little over the point of the
nose and chin and pulled In in folds
about the neck. They are held to
gether at the base of the hair with
veilpins or hatpins.
Wonderful Black Beaded Silk
Opera Cloak Is Ordered on
Visit to France.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Sept. 6.—Lady Randolph
Churchill, who is taking the cure at
Aix les Bains, halted long enough in
Paris to order some very striking
winter frocks. Among other gar
ments, she 1* to have a wonderful
opera cloak of the new black beaded
silk which carries a remarkable de
sign In black velvet appliqued in re
lief.
She ordered also an evening gown
of black granule chiton slit up to the
knee and made with a very full
draped overdress of copper broche
with threads'of gold. A copper and
amber girdle encircles the waist.
Ordinary boots and shoes are prac
tically things of the past in smart
circles In Paris. Lady Randolph has
some fascinating examples of the new
footwear, including white satin shoes,
fastened with a broad black ribbon,
criss crossed and giving a sandal ef
fect.
She also has some high boots in
a cut-out design, the shoestrings be
ing half-inch wide ribbons alternat
ing with bits of clear stocking. The
great charm of such footwear in th»
eyes of women who wish to be ex
clusive is that such dainty shoes can
never become popular, being suited
only to a woman with an automobile.
Lady Randolph also has experi
mented with the new fashion of pow
dering the hair, which has now at
tained a vogue in Paris, the hair being
slightly sprinkled either with white or
gold powder, but this she has decidei
to forego, declaring she is sure it will
not be adopted.
