A LACE evening wrap, lined with
chiffon or mouMeline, 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 t he motorist. They
are by far the most sensible hats for
motoring that have yet been designed
They fold as compactly and conve
niently as silk hats and do not wrin
kle so easily. They can he made In
dustpmof 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 bar
monizing shade. One hat, of gray
suede, is trimmed with dull blue silk.
Another, of tan, is trimmed with
brown.

For the autoist 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 hows are to share the
work of trimming this autumn. But
tons are still much used for trimming
tailored suits. And bows are used aw
they have not been used for years.
One PYench frock shows a long tunic
of white chiffon, with Oowb of blue
ribbon extending from neck to knees.
The satin undershirt hus 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 Is
the wide hip bell—a sort of l.athir
prplum filled to the dare of the hips,

maji’n neckwear. One of its chief
claims to liking it can he no artis

lace. Baby Irish. Valenciennes, aha
dow\ Iderre or any other sort of luce
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
H*cd in most of the fashionable
frocks. 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 charmeuae, and many
other materials.

The scarf sleeve Is a dainty addi
tion to the evening frock. The sleeves,
diminutive in length, are formed «*r
chiffon, and each continues In a long
scarf which 1s caught loosely In at tie*
waist. The sleeves and scarf ends
cun 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 ko fur
wrong these days. The tunic falls
Just below the hips and is belted in
at the waist with a girdle or.sash.

Lovely little dancing frocks for Sep
tember week-end affairs are of tulle,
airily shirred over colored silk. Tulle

ular a generation ago, when every
debutante came out in clouds if

something especially youthful and

Raglan overcoats hanging .n
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
«hort enough to show the buttoned
hoot well above the instep.

That the autumn hlouw is to be a
very dressy little affair is proved by
this new model, which combines two
shades of chiffon, cream lace, velvet
and satin ribbon, some handsome Milk
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

The New Sil
houette
In Paris and other fashion centers
the new silhouette has been in vogue
since May, but in this section of the
country, it is only now’ bring 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 stand 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 tlie tunic which is wired to swing
away from the figure and make a
vivid contrast between it* slimuess
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 line,
and arrange it in two box pleats.
• * •
The women of fashion now have
waists almost as large as their shoul-
lers. There are no hips, but the wide
I rule formed above the knees, and
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 fill the demand for them
from fashionable women folk along
Fifth avenue.
With the success of the latest freak
in feminine finger 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 site dines;
The after-breakfast 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 hank
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 «>f
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 tiie finger that it covers the
first Joint, compelling the wearer to
keep her flii,^er perfectly straight all
tin* 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 final course,
place it on the finger and wear it
during the rest of the evening.
"if It was something new In the
atricals it would be called a ‘lilt.’
That is the best word 1 can think of
to fit the success it lias 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, nestli**-•; in the
midst. AU the stones are in platinum
setting, which adds considerably to
their brilliancy.
Many of those who have alr.oady
purchased an after-dinner ring have
had tiie larger center diamond re
placed with a pearl of the first w’ater.
while. In other cases, the ruby lias
supplanted the diamond.

Veils Al e In Atjclin Uncle Sam Looking
For Press Agents
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
11s are imported. Frenchwomen, it
is said, are not paying much atten
tion to veils tills* season, but A inert-
i»n women always like them. They
re called "novelties.” Like many
new things, this •novelty" veiling is
xpensive partly because it Is well
made. The mesh is of rather heavy
itton threads, woven together to
form lacellke patterns on various
sons of backgrounds.
Some of the grounds are of almost
tullelike fineness, and some are lined
heavily with threads running parallel
each other, all in one direction,
from end to end of the veiling. Some
have checked backgrounds, squared
*ff with heavy threads. This veiling
is made in both black and white.
These new veils art* worn trimly
md snugly fitted over the hat brim,
and are then drawn over the face,
slacked a 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 tin- hair wi ll
veil Pina 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 af
Aix les Bains, halted long enough in
Paris to order some very striking
winter frocks. Among other gar
ments, she is to have a wonderful
opera cloak of the new’ black beaded
silk whiqh 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 ot copper brocne
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-
fe< i.
She also has some high boots in
a cut-out design, the shoestrings be
ing half-inch*wide ribbons alternat
ing with bits clear stocking. The
great charm of such footwear in tha
eyes of women who wish to be ex-
elusive 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, hut this she has decided
to forego, declaring she is sure it will
not be adopted.

home in the lust three weeks, and
has kept them away whole days and
parts of nights.
The little ones say he calls himsell
"Blue Sky Ben," and that he lives

of anything worse than inciting run
aways among children of about his
own age, but in that he has invoked
the wrath of parents in Maplewood
on his tow head.

note everywhere. It appears in many
odd places. It is of black satin and

LONDON, Sept. 6. —If the cente
nary of any event that helped to ad
vance civilization should be cele
brated, why should not the one hun
dredth anniversary of the introduc
tion of trousers into England or, if
you please, the introduction of Eng
lishmen’s legs into trouper*, be so
dignified ?
Just 100 years ago Englishmen be
gan to wear trousers; before that
every man clad himself in knee
breeches or w hat art* nowadays called
"knickerbockers.”
This is almost equally true in
America where, however, many per
sons are prone to Mpeak of trousers
as "breeches" or "pantaloons" to ig
nominious "pants." Everybody in
America knows it would be an ab
surd anachronism to picture George
Washington in trousesr.
The word "trousers," when it first
appeared in the English language,
waa used to denote the nether gar
ments of the ancient Irish, "trews."
It is. perhaps, significant that in the
early part of the* nineteenth century
women and girls wore' garments
reaching to the ankles called trousers.
Some militant suffragettes, it seems,
wish to revive the fashion now and
"wear the trousers.”
Beau Brummell was one of the
first to wear trousers. They were
skin tight and buttoned at the ankle, j
But even to-day trousers are not
recognized as a perfectly correct part
of a gentleman’s evening dress at
many courts. Knee breeches are re
garded as much more aristocratic.
Only a few weeks ago the abbot
of the Monastery of St. Michael, in
the Causasus, refused to supply the
monks with trousers, deeming them
“only a luxury.”
Anklet Stockings
Latest Fashion Fad
Some of Gold Tissue and Lace Sell
for $200—Slashed Skirt
Responsible.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Sept. 6.—Anklet stock
ings are the newest fashion freaks for
London’s smart society women.
This fad Is a modification of the
jeweled bands and golden anklets so
popular in a certain section of Pari
sian society. The new dainties are of
black silk with a wide band, embroid
ered in blue, green, yellow’ or purple
silk, encircling the ankle.
The advent of the slashed skirt is
responsible for the changes in hosi
ery. The shorter the skirt the bright
er the stockings.
One enterprising dealer has brought
over from Paris dainty hosiery with
jewels slashed around the ankle, the
sparkle and color being plainly seen
through the thin silken dresses. As
much as $200 is asked for a pair.
These are made of fine gold tissue and
real lace, Chantilly and Mechlin be
ing the popular fabrics.
