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 new satiny weaves are responsible for this Touches of lingerie are found added to waists of silk In ruffles aud collar with go,»d effect 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.

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."
