To these last tha gowns pictured on thla

Of exquisite fabrics and colors there la
' no lack this Autntnn. The hiannfaeturera
seem to have outdone tbemeelvea In supple
weaves and sstlny" surfaces. For If satin
Itself be not the choice, the material must
' at least suggest It.
' But satin Is at present the thing. For
whole costumes, for long, graceful hanging
clonks and coats, for afternoon and even-
' log frocks and for trimmings and acces-
aorlea for morning wear. It Is everywhere
to, be seen. Liberty satin i. still much to
tb. fore, but there are new weaves on th.
.market, as supple as Liberty satin, bnt
having more "body," which have much to
: recommend them.
Cloths thla season have taken on a par
