NARROW banding for hats in
embossed velvet is offered, in
Cubist designs, and almost
black colors, so dark are they; these
bandings are not beautiful and sug
gest the Bulgarian fad of tints, so
prevalent last spring, rather than ar.
advanced mode.

Blouses for cool days are to be had
in crepe de chine and crepe chiffon,
the latter made over net. Mapy have
a distinct vest effect, which is very
ugly, and gives an undesirable man
nish appearance to the wearer.

Among the revivals of the season
is that old-time favorite, the Turkish
Zouave jacket. At a recent exhibi
tion of new gowns in Paris was one
composed of a three-tier skirt of
white lace, with tulle and lace bodice
and a zouave jacket of dull blue satin
heavily embrolderd with soutache In
self color.

The extremely low-cut slippers
worn by the ladies of 1830. with their
straps of velvet or ribbon, are in 1
fashion.
• • •
Outer wrap fastenings should be
the most brilliant, unusual, daring
button or clasp that Is obtainable.
• • •
Flowered frocks in dainty Dresden
colorings of blossoms are to be very l
much w r orn for autumn dances.
• • •
Ruchings of black net form an at
tractive trimming for lingerie frocks
and also to outline the edges of I
flounces.
• • •
For half sea.on millinery, as in
the past, felt and velvet hats are
making their appearance. They are
of medium size, larger than they are
long, with a bowl shaped crown that
is rather high. These hats are worn
raised up in front, showing the face,
and lightly rolled at one side. Some
of the millinery houses, which are oc
cupied principally with commission
and exportation, have already exe
cuted a goodly number of models
which I have retained for your bene
fit. Tulle is still used even at this
advanced season as a garniture.
• • •
Besides slender silhouettes one sees
others which are made more ample
In appearance by garments that are
vague In shape. Pleated basques,
skirts and tunics ’hat drape below
the hips make one think of panniers.
This illusion is completed by the
gathering and pleating at the waist
line. On studying this further one
sees that the drapery and flounced
movement toward the top of the skirt
makes it appear narrower at the low
er part, making the silhouette there
more slender and fine.
• • •
The lower line of the skirt is ren
dered more uneven by the very
Curious manner of cutting the lower
edge ot the skirt. Some hems are
much shorter In front than behind,
others are rounded at one side, drap
ed and notched at the other, or open
ed at right angles, disclosing the un
derskirt.
• * •
Wood tints and others resembling
tones of dark chestnut brown and In
cluding bronze, with which the bronze
shoes are worn, have in this moment
regained their former success. This
reminds one of the craze for taupe,
which had so groat a vogue, with this
difference, that the browns in all the
long scale of tones that one finds In
this color are much more becoming
to the skin, as it makes it look more
white or pink.
• • •
Brocaded velvets in very bold de
signs will be much used this fall tor
coatees, for handsome wraps and for
whole evening dresses. Nearly all the
newest brocades, whether the mate
rial be of satin, velvet or crepe, show
large and striking designs thrown
against a strongly contrasting ground.
Black velvet giant flowers on a ground
of flame red satin, for instance, ot
Conventional designs in a vivid shade
of emerald green on silk crepon ot
the favorite pearl gray tint are seen.
• ♦ •
Embroidered net is used for pleat
ed tunics, and sometimes to fill in
the deep slash at the side or back of
the skirt. So far it has been more
••«od on black and dark blue, but in
n nite it is charming and will be made
up later for dance gowns of white or
yellow satin A coarse kind of white
net is chosen, and the formal flowers
beaded on it are in dull blue and pink
ar. I violet.
The new sleeves have no armholes,
an I. as they are cut as a part of the
bodice, they have the appearance of
no’ touching the body. They fall from
th. shoulders in huge folds and are
s.'tietimes fitted to the wrist or held
tn below the elbow with a large cuff.
• • •
There is no doubt that velvet is In
the lead of the other fabrics. It is
u- ‘d for ball gowns as well as for
suits, and there are many weaves
of it Panne velvet is revived. When
a ball gown is made of it the bodice
i- of tulle to match in color, and one
sees quite as many dark ball gowns
as light onee The idea of putting a
light bodice above a dark skirt is
rarely carried out. One only sees this
in street coat suits, where the white
1 satin blouse, fastened down the front,
is worn with a dark velvet or cloth
skirt, and a fantastic splash of col
ored embroidery to Imitatp a belt
buckle.
• • •
The evening gowns have short
Skirts in front and at the sides—in
fact, they are deliberately cut high at
the sides and the back, with an up
ward tilt, and then a snake-like train
which writhes along the floor with a
colossal pink rose tied to its tall. On
some of the gowns the waist line is
made larger by a row of these arti
ficial French roses bedded In a few
green leaves and connected with lit
tle strands of metal thread. Al
ways there is a bunch of large flow
ers at the waist line of the even
ing corsage and another one pend
l ent on a lace scarf or winged sleeve.
There are roses everywhere, but no
■ other kind of flower.
The return of the barrette Is in
dicated in all the new high coiffures.
It is broader and shorter than the
barrette of old, and quite different
from that formerly used to support
extending rolls ot hair at the back.
Plenty of Persian ornaments are
seen. The most popular are cres
cents, circular form, or spherical mo
tifs In closely set stones surmounted
I by uprights of white or black feath
ers, some of which are most inge
niously curled.
• • •
There arc such a great number and
variety of new' printed dress mate
rials that a few of the latest should
be mentioned in passing. There is
a printed satin having a small, quaint
five-petalled Futurist floral design;
a printed rep rich as Petit-point
tapestry; exquisite printed crepes and
velvets (both silk and cotton) and
some gorgeous new designs In woven
fabrics and in embroidered silk tis
sues.
• • •
An admirable feature of the latest
necklaces in diamonds and platinum
is that their designs of surpassing
laclness reach entirely across the
throat and lit snuglv at the base of
the neck, which contributes to pleas
ing contour where It docs not actually
conceal an undesirable thinness or
hollowness.
Certain facts are quite worthy of j
consideration. The plain, untrimmed I
skirt has seen its best days. Drap- ’
Ing and flouncing will be universal, J
and everything must be done to give
the figure a rounded appearance in
front. This new outline is secured
by draping higher to the front than
to the back and sides. And this drap- j
Ing is not with any slight modifica- I
tton, but with a decided raising of
the front of the skirt, or tunic, fall
ing to long lines behind.

The newest watch chain for gen
tlemen is distinctly smart. It is
really a strap made of patent leather, i
crushable kid, walrus, lizard and oth- .
er soft leathers, and it has a sliding !
gold monogram in the center. I
Stretching from upper pocket to up- f
per pocket across the vest, it has I
elegance and Individuality. The 1
monogram slide should not be too
large and should be worn directly in
the middle of the strap.
• • *
The new waistcoats are fascinating, ;
and with two or three that are dis- ’
tinctly different the economical wo
man can get variety in her simple |
tailored suit. Not that their use is
confined to suits, for they are worn
with morning and afternoon frocks,
in plaid, flowered or printed silk. In
brocades ot all sorts, and even in
plain white or black satin, bengaline
and moire.

Not since the reigns of the Louis of
France have such beautiful Imported
fabrics been seen for dress. Last sea - ■
son we h" ' it is true, the lovely i
brocades matelasse materials, but
this year the coloring is much more
beautiful and the weaves even more
elegant The typical blues and pinks
of the days of French elegance in
dress, which have come down to us in
the costumes and paintings of those
times, contrast interestingly with the
Chinese and Japanese colorings that
are used also In the new materials.
• • •
To replace the popular charmeuse
there is a crepe Lucia, a satin on the
same order as charmeuse, but with a
slight crepe in the weave that gives it
an added elegance. Crepe -Trianon is
like that of last year, except that it
seems a little heavier, is more crepe-
Hke in appearance and comes in won
derful Japanese designs. Faille Tria
non has a clear-cut rib like old Otto
man silk and has a glorious luster.
Crepe craquele looks like a serpent’s
skin. In heavier mixtures for after
noon tailored wits the crepe Albanai*
has an indefinite pattern, and crepe
brocade has a little of the velour ef
fect, with an eponge look to it.

‘Hoop Skirts Worse
Than the Slit Gown’
Criminal Court Judge Says That
Crinoline Marked Vicious
Epoch In Society.
KANSAS CITY, Sept. 20.—“ There
is nothing immoral fn the slit skirt,
diaphanous gown or any other pres
ent form of woman’s attire. Nar
row skirts and trim figures do not
mean immorality. One of the most
vicious epochs of society was when
hoop skirts were worn,” said Judge
Ralph 8. Latshaw. of the Criminal
Court, to-day. “Women have only
one idea In view—to dress In a man
ner that appeals to men. Well, hasn’t
it always been so?”
