one’caa deny that they nre most becoming.
For- these brave persons are nets nnd wash
ing tulles in almost endless variety and
many new designs. Filet nets have not
quite the vogue they once enjoyed, net
of rather coarse octagon-shaped mesh be
ing better liked.
Waists of net. cither in white or In
colors, matching the skirts with which thev
nre to be worn, are elaborately tucked and
little trimmed, depending for effect on cut
and line, rather than on elaboration. Some
time* polka dots of various sixes and bril
liant color nre band-embroidered on tbo*e
waist* and I saw one lovely blouse of gold
colored net. trimmed with vertical bands
of Egyptian embroidery quite a riot of
color, but so skilfully designed that it
was a delight to the eye.

The vogue of ent Jet —those sparkling,
glinting black diamonds —is making itself
felt In dress trimming*. And now 1 find In
an exclusive shop nothing less than a
Jumper all woven of cut Jet! This Is surely
a short cut to chic, for worn with the
proper background nothing could be
smarter. Another garniture Is in something
the form of a square bertha with long ends
depending down the back. This is made
of filet net and lace, daintily touched here
and there with sparkling Jet. This comes
to us from Franc#, that home of clever
Ideas, and can be made an accessory to
various gowns.
Very smart little eontces concocted ail
of pompadour ribbou* are sent out by tonne
of the clever French designers. They are
destined for wear with either high or low
gown* of lace or chiffon for wear at home,
at th# theatre or for restaurant dining. So
beautiful are the ribbons In color and de
sign that they need hut 'lttle trimming, but
they are fastened here and there with but*
tuu* of cut crystal or imitation precious
stones.

The shirtwaist, ns n shirtwaist, has qulto
taken a back seat in favor of the airy
fairy, frilly-ruffly blouse, for these r*f<ec
tolre waist** nre nothing If not perishable
and unpractical. But how charming they
are! We can quite forgive them their
short life. If while they exist they are such
things of beauty. Ruffles and plaiting*,
soft folds and lines, short shoulders and
tightly moulded sleeves, ruffled collars and
indefinite waist lines —surely the models
of the Autumn of 1908 mark a new era In
the world of separate waists, so quaint and
picturesque are they.
And to wear with them are provided hats
with quite as many picture-like qualities.
Notice the llttlo Directoire bonnets, fitting
close around the face and framing it so
charmingly, nnd the wider hat. of quite an
other style, shown In sketch "A."
Oh, undoubtedly, we are In for an era

The bra Roman opened the door of the car
