Line.
ies in vivid colors, such as the na-
tive indians use, lend jnst the right
touch of ornament and contrast, to
many otherwise simple costumes.
GIRDLES AND APRON PANELS.
Wide boned girdles are newer than
the twice round sash that that has
been so overgrown, and these often
finish or top a single width of silk
or velvet, ending in a fringe and em-
bellished with embroidery if the
material is Plajn, or perhaps finished
with the band of fur that seems
never to be amiss in any style of new
get-up. These apron panels are worn
at the centre front usually, and are
not often more than twelve inches
in length, though sometimes one
sees a velyet apron that suggests
the familiar masonic garment top-
ping a skirt of draped broadcloth
or satin.
BISHOP SLEEVES AND FICHUS.
Bishop sleeves of net or lace, and
fichus from which spring wired Med-
ici rushes or collars, are modish and
offer an excellent means to freshen
a worn waist or to change the effect
of a dress. The old sleeve can be
cut away half way from shoulder to
elbow and the full net set on to
pouch a little over the elbow, and be
gathered in tight at the wrist where
it finishes with a velvet bracelet, or
with frills that fall gracefully over
the hands.
Bows of black net or tulle drawn
through loops of rhinestones make
pretty neck finishes, or ‘‘in sets”’
are used as trimmings on the thin
blouses which will this year be ex-
tensively worn on all occasions.
Very warm outer wraps of fur or
fur trimmed, offer adequate pro-

New York, Octooer 10th.
The fashionable endorsement of
contrasting coats and skirts is re-
sponsible for some of the most novel
effects seen this Autumn and for the
new ‘‘four-piece’’ suits that are prac-
tically two distinct get-ups. These
consist of two skirts, one plaid, one
plain and a blouse that goes with
either. The coat matches the plain
skirt and harmonizes with the plaid
one. Blue coats rather lead in the
jacket types and these are consider.
ed exceptionally smart worn over
black skirts, though many people pre-
fer a black coat for general wear.
Suits consisting of a draped broad-
cloth skirt with a rather long cut-
a-way coat of caracul cloth are very
new and stylish and the coat can |be
worn with any skirt or gown 'in the
wardrobe as its glossy black surface,
closely resembling the fur it copies,
goes admirably with any type of
dress. A eoat of this material cut
on kimona wrap lines with rounding
cut-away fronts, with fur collar and
cuffs and contrasting silk lining is an
excellent investment for the woman
who desires, while presenting a mod-
ish appearance, to get the utmost use
from her new coat.
VOGUE OF PLUSH.
All plushes are to the fore for coats
and wraps, not only those that close-
ly resemble seal, caracul, or other
pelts, but those developed in mohair
that are frankly a new form of cloth,
very warm and dressy in appearance
yet calculated to successfully with-
stand the hardest wear. Almost all
of these have touches of real fur in
their accessories, though most often
the fur has been dyed and manipu-
lated to masquerade as coming from
a different animal than the one who
originally wore it. Oppossum pelts
are dyed to look like skunk, and
mole skins to resemble anything rath-
er the original grey coated little bor-
ers. Tee latest French idea is to
dye these in vivid reds or grey coat-
ed little borers. The latest French
idea is to dye these in vivid reds, or
grass green to trim some garment
that needs a touch of these pupu-
lar colors, or to form: entire wraps
of such fashionable hues.
BEAD TRIMMINGS.
Jets and all sorts of colored bead
trimmings and embroideries are the
tip of the mode for trimmings and
elaborate garments. Necklaces of
barbaric beads, caught with huge
plaques of similar construction are a
notable feature of the dresses sent
over from the famous houses of
Worth in Paris and London. A neck-
tie of beaded gimp is seen on many
of the new waists and blouses de-
signed for wear with street suits,
and the out outlining of the edges
of draperies by beaded gimp re-
mains a popular feature of fussy
frocks and evening gowns. Anyone
having pretty leftovers in jet can
renew them hy sponging with alco-
hol and water, while odd necklaces
can be worked in as up-to-date trim-
mings for hats and gowns.
THE INDIAN NOTE.
Trimmings and cuts that the sug-
gest the garments worn by Ameri-
| can Indians are a notable feature
| of Fall designs. Shirt waists that
|are derived from ‘‘scout’” models
| are shown in washable silk crepe,
| and other washable silks, as well as
| in extra blouses of velvet faced
| woolens. that are so popularly worn
tection outdoors, while the extreme-
(ly warm temperatures that prevail
indoors everywhere raake a thin
waist both comfortable and suitable
FANCY BRASSIERS.
With tue prevailing transparancy
or semi -ansparancy of the blouse,
the ela ...te details of the new
brassiers cre not lost to sight. These
are a 1u.-- of lace, embroideries and
ribbon u.:uiwuings that add to the ap-
pearance ui any of the plain net or
shadow iuce blouses that are so much
seen, ev. nu with plain tailored get-ups,
though (nc plainest of these would
have scewcd a bit dressy a few
seasons 4go.

right side; colored clothes on the
wrong side.
To keep a veil crisp, dip it several
times in alcohol and hang it up in-
doors to dry.
Green peppers, stuffed with fresh

Apples and onions shredded togeth-
er make a sandwich filling that many
people lise.
Coldsluw, served in green pepper

A fine grater is better than a knife

that is burned.
It is much easier to climb stairs if
the head is held erect and deep, reg-
ular breaths are taken.
To quickly prepare horseradish or
cocoanut, pare it and put it through
the chopping machine.
In sleepinig keep the head as low
as possible, so that the blood may

If the cuticle around the nails
seems dry and stiff and there is a ten-
dency to hangnails, rub in well a lit-
tle vaseline or cold cream every
night before going to bed.
Save ome or two turkey wings.
They are the best brushes in the
world to use around a stove and
splendid for sweeping closet shelves.
Weight the wing tip with iron until
it dries.
When giving sticky medicines to
children, heat the spoon by dipping
it for a moment in hot water, then
pour in the medicine and it will slip
easily from the spoon.
Put pockets on the underside of
aprons near the right-hand edge and
they will be found just as covenient
for use, yet will not catch on door-
knobs and get torn.
If eggshells are to be used for clear-
ing coffee the eggs should be well
washed before they are broken and
the shells should be kept in a covered
receptacle until needed.
