IN THE NEW TAFFETAS

THEY WILL BE LARGELY ÜBED FOR FALL COSTUMEB. Street and Afternoon Frocks in All the Fashionable Bhades Already Are - Seen—Model Designed for RoyEI Blue. Because the manufacturers have made for us a beautifully heavy and lustrous tatieta we are allowed to have it for a fall dress fabric, as well as a summer one, and as it lendß itself so readily to the designs and styles of the season needless to say

we are all glad of its further lease on life. These new taffetas resemble somewhat a very fine twilled grosgrain, but have much more body. They are ,to be bad in all the fashionable shades, and are being made up exten-. sively in street and afternoon costumes.

Here illustrated is a charming costume in royal blue taffeta worn with fox furs dyed a delicate sulphur color and a jaunty chapeau in blue velvet with yellow tinged feather fantasies; ■*-*— ; ■'

The blouse is plain and surpliced over a tiny vest of white batiste, with a flaring collar and small lapels of batiste twined back from the V neck. Long sleeves are' set smopthly into extended armholes, and are covered with a heavily embroidered black silk net, then finished with turned-back white cuffs.

The qraate net is applied to the border of the tunic skirt and makes a very handsome trimming. It will be noticed that the tunic is gathered to a hip yoke under a self-covered cording, but the yoke in turn is gathered, too, and the result is very graceful. . A broad girdle out in square tabs about the top and along the line of fastening. The idea is repeated in the skirt r-placket to bring the closing in perfect alignment.

If desired, the sleeves and. lower portion of the tunic can be made transparent by cutting the dress' material from under them, but in that case the design could no longer answer the purposes of a street costume.—Lillian Young, in Washington Star.

Attractive and Novel Trimming is Here Employed.
