with a bit of old lace or some nice needle-

nnd black velvet for the belt completing
its specification.
A uotiienble feature of the fall gowns

uboilt the decline, of tliee tUsui-x, and
many very beautiful gowns were sold at
a song. The buyers now may congratu
late themselves. 1't is true that all-over
, spangling is uo longer quite as good taste
as it was. The right thing has needle
i work and inlaying of luce or gauze com
bined with spangling or beading. There
is every effort so to dispose the ornnmeu-
tation that it may appear that it was
applied after making up the dress, or at
least with especial reference to the stjle
selected for the making, A combination
of soft and opal colors is more liked than
tbt barbaric splendors the beginnings of
I tbe futhlon saw. Then there Is a tended
' cy to embroider ami bead or spangle the
lighter cloths, which is significant as to
tbe coming season, The beading is ofteu
ef very beautiful workmanship, and solid
metal beads, such ns cut steel, art em
ployed In outlines ns well ns In solid
blocks, reminding one of old-time slipper
work.
There is n tendeney to ornament the
skirt chiefly, the bodice being some dainty
jacket or zouave of the plain cloth, or
possibly of taffeta evidently to be ns
popular as ever to match or to harmon
ize with some of the embroidery tints.
Needlework of the old-time sampler order
appears on cloth gowns, sometimes
brightened with beads or spangles. Har
der fronts, collnr nnd cuffs and other
piece effects are worked. Sometimes
bands of cashmere shawling ore used, ami
these are In some cases luighteiied and ic
enforced beautifully with hand silk em
broidery and bead work.
This edge and border trimming seems
likely to remain in vogue all winter. Four
advance model dresses that illustrate its
uses aie" put here bj the artist. The first
was opal blue nun's veiling beaded with
cut steel nnd Inlaid with black silk lace.
Nevt this comes white gauze spntmlcd
and beaded in faint gilt tracery and made
over white satin. The layer bolero hud
gilt embroidery at the edges. The seated
woman displays a dove groy cloth. Sil
ver soutache and cashmere bands eie
Its trimmings. Last Is a pale violet yoke
taffeta finished with deep bands of Ivory
white embroidery. Such dresses ns these
may Include other, features of trimming,
hut the bnnd nnd edging sorts will domi
nate the scheme of ornamentation and
constitute the gown's chief claim to new
ness. This matter of trimmings may be
come the one distinctive feature of the
fall nnd earlr winter styles. Certainly
there Is no good promise of other general
change.
It would be pleasant to think that tho

to have a better chance than usual In tht
fight they ulwnjs make euch season, Hut
wmenhftve never worn anything so com
fortable and so generally becoming ns the
drooped belt waist and Uiey are likely to
stick to it. At any rate, the new owus
lire sushed or belted with the droop pro
nounced, and In very few cases li there
any hIiow of the bodice below the bell,
though often the jacket is cut below tue
hips.
Three gowns with sleeves varied from
the plain full length patterns appear in
tho last of these pictures. A simple form
of double sleeves was the first, in pale
green silk grenadine embroidered with
black silk dots for the dress goods, and
corn-colored surah for the undersleeve,
the latter goods also giving a foundation
for tho other fabric In the rst, Next
this is a sleeve of white guipure, deep
yoke and skirt trimming matching, The

ket cloth, and It was made over white
taffeta. J.ast is an elbow sleeve of the
dress goods pastel pink cloth finished
with whim chiffon milling. Other ruffles
and white silk beaded with gilt were otu'
