Nearly all - of the ; new models are now ready for the com- ing season, and It is pleasant to note a number of novelties. ; Among the innovations particularly ; striking about the new skirt are the t long pointed overskirts apron like in ; ; effect. If one can imagine a "tablier" ' . finishing in a point. Two ruffles, about a third of a yard in width, around the t . bottom of the skirt complete the lat- I' ter. Another way of making the apron y or overskirt "jupe," as the French say, j is to have it end in two deep points in 1 i the front, the space between the two in ; 5 front being filled with lace. The whole skirt is sometimes made of heavy lace or luxuriously embroidered material, or even in some cases quite covered with ; lace Incrustations. The plain, staple skirt, in which - 5 every one rejoiced, is completely neg- i lected this season and quite relegated I to the back of the wardrobe. Even the fall sporting costumes have skirts with s more or less elaborate empiecements, usually running just under the hips, There is even a hint of the return into favor of the "godet" skirts, so fashionable fash-ionable some ten years ago. Among the favorite ways of trimming skirts is : ) the bias band with pipings, in one or s i more colors, heading each band. I saw puch a pretty rough cloth skirt made , up in this fashion. There were five '' inch-wide bias bands running, around the bottom, each headed with a double T Piping of black and blue a most rharmlng and effective trimming. The corsage, which was bolero with tails in the back, was trimmed with nar-' nar-' , rower bands of piping and cloth, and had a wide blue and black silk cravat, Trhich could be worn either as a cravat ' ; or a vest at will. Heavy woolen braid, embroidered in Vivid colored silks and the new Ori-tntal Ori-tntal passementeries, will also be much used upon the fall skirts, while the stamped leather bands of trimming-figure trimming-figure among the distinct novelties. , A new idea in trimming skirts is to attach to the belt in the back a kind ' of a long wide scarf, which is loor-i. Into a baw half way down the middle of the back, and from there falls to the bottom of the skirt in a flare. This is the most novel of the coming season's I styles, and in general a note worthy of attention Is the great tendency now ? fhown towards a profusion of trim- ; ming upon the backs of gowns. The use of frogs, little silk balls and tassels, and all kinds of similar garni ture' will be exceedingly pronounced J J upon gowns for the street, but particu- I : larly so upon coats and wraps of all , kinds. Designs cut out of velvet and appliqued on long cloaks will also be ! the vogue. The great popularity of white during ; the summer is in a fair way to con- : , tinue throughout the fall and winter season, one reason for It being that the simplest white gown is always dressy and susceptible of being changed in a hnudred little ways by the accessories In white or colors that are such a boon ; to women who never want to appear twice dressed quite alike. I could not help noticing the prevalence of white at Columbine's, the fashionable tea place in Paris, where even the dressmakers dress-makers of note manage to drop in to take a cup of tea and in particular to take notes. The last August days have been so chilly in Paris that the first fall gowns have been brought out. Pome of the new models in white pc-rge are trimmed with galloon and completed with a wide Irish lace em- broidery collar. Although the bolero, with its little tails in the back, still remains in favor, it is much trimmed at present and is exceedingly gay in appearance. A decided new model is cut up in a V point in the back, and from beneath the opening a full bloused vest shows to advantage. The most pointed innovation about the new bolero is the trimming of the back of it. One I saw which quite took my attention at-tention had velvet ribbon straps running run-ning across the back, each end of the straps being caught with a fancy button but-ton quite the militarfashion of trimming trim-ming in front, but which has changed in place. i Another tendency toward the Oriental ; Is the coming popularity of India silks, which will be the rage for winter wear. All the beautiful embroideries of the east will be in high favor. Those now being shown In Paris are really be-wilderingly be-wilderingly lovely and are all executed upon transparent gauzes. Some of the most beautiful, like those executed ' for the queen's coronation robes, are in pure white. Another I saw was a dead Mack, and embroidered in a dull silver. sil-ver. Takou, the famous Indian silk, will be immensely popular this year, and the Indian muslins, as fine as gauze, will be made up like chiffons for evening wear. The soft Chinese silk j crepes will also be much worn and are embroidered in cubical Chinese designs. Grace Corneau, in Chicago Tribune. The World Bows to Paris. "Uiile the world of the fashionable has been busy wearing the creamy, ; lacy lingerie styles, the great manufac turers, designers and modistes have been busy producing the novel forms for the new fall and winter season. For madam, you know, cannot wait too long for new gowns. She must have them bright and early, and Aug. 15 is the date set in Paris for the first grand display of the collection of the great dressmakers. The whole world bows to Paris and must bow. For there are created or put into execution the Ideas of all the world. For, mind you, we nave much to say ourselves as to what Paris will pay. We are the buyers and Parisis the seller. The American woman pays one-third of the bill of the Rue de la Paix. The American garment maker and the great retail dry goods man of the United States pay another one-third. one-third. The remaining one-third of the business of this wonderful street of the fashion world, this near sacred avenue of fashion's temple, is paid by the "lady' customers of Europe. That is to say, all the rest of the world buys one-third of the production and the United States buys two-thirds, for there is the trade not only of the dressmakers dress-makers of Paris, but of the milliners 1 as well.

Do this while reclining. Let the eyes rest. If they are large and dark, there may be something wrong with the kidneys, as the eye sacs are one of the indications. But probably they are caused by worry and lack of care, and can be removed by simple treatment. Chicago Tribune. Irish Tweeds Fashionable. It is said that there is going to be a great demand in London for an Irish tweed suitable for ladies' costumes. A rough tweed is the thing which is wanted, and if it can be secured at a proper price, it will be bought, as an enthusiastic London correspondent says, "by the mile." There is no doubt that Irish tweeds are much preferred to Scotch tweeds for ladles' costumes, and that Irish tweed costumes for ladies la-dies will be the vogue In the coming winter season: There are plenty of people of a certain class in Ireland who will be quite pleased to dress in Irish material once London sets the fashion. |
