Show . . FASHION" NOTES. Silk cord appliques, soutache in row-s or braiding designs and fine jet and chenille passementeries will decorate handsome, cloth costumes for winter wear. ' . 4 $ All the erstwhile red shades of the summer have deepened in tone, and the jacqueminot and geranium dyes have been again taken into favor by French milliners, and modistes. There will, soon appear some very beautiful dahlia .and plum shades, de- : void of all metallic lights, which, in cloth, light wool mixtures will form very smart and exceptionally becoming auturiin gowns. ' ' - j- - ' " ( The silk waists are much more elab-. elab-. orate than they were. The tucking, cording and lace entredeux that were seen on the waists last spring will again be used this winter. All one color silks and satins are more fash-I fash-I ionable than plain. ' j ' $ In the showing of early autumn millinery mil-linery yellow hearted black roses, with black lace or chiffon and short but very full black ostrich plumes, are among the novel trimmings on leghorn and milan shapes and hats in lace-like 1 openwork effects in black chenille. There are to be this fall many cloth gowns made for winter wear which . will have the waists of the same material, but there will also be silk waists and velvet. The cloths are to be light weight. Cashmere will be used, and the waists and skirts will be trimmed elaborately. The white satin and white taffeta silk waists are fashionable again. There is a little fullness directly in the front, but th'is is supposed to be gathered in under the belt. Almost all the waists have a yoke effect and a little lace edging around the front of the waist below the yoke. $ ? The plain shirt waist in silk or flannel flan-nel or velveteen will not be considered smart this winter. It will undoubtedly be worn as a sort of comfortable to be put on in the morning, or to wear under a plain, useful tweed gown, but even with the addition of. a pretty tie or collar it will not pass muster any longer as a garment that is suitable to wear at lunch cr in the afternoon. ? $ ' Once again, after a short period of rest on the subject, comes up the topic of whether separate waists and skirts are going to be fashionable this winter. The dressmakers and tailors wish us to believe that the style is completely out. and that all entire costumes will lie made with skirt and waist of the same material, even in cloth, when there is a coat also of the same material. |
