Re Careful Attention May Ee Made Without Much Trouble From Any Strong Material That ls Fancied. In our sketch may be seen a case for ope;~a glasses, that can be made .without much trouble, and in which the glasses may be comfortably car ried. Any strong material may be used for the making of it, corded silk or art serge being specially suitable, and it should be lined with soft silk of some contrasting shade of color. It would be useless to suggest di mensions, as opera glasses vary so much In size and shape, but a case to fit any glasses can be mad? on the lines of that shown. It is cut out in three pieces, one piece form Case Ready for Use. ing the body of the case and fold over flap, and the other two pieces the Bides. After the material has been cut out, it should be lined and then sewn together, the seams being hidden with a fine silk cord which is carried round the edge of the flap. This flap can either be made to fasten with small buttons and buttonholes, or two snap fasteners, cut possibly from an old kid glove, can be used. A long loop of ribbon (the ends of which are sewn in on either side of the case) is provided by which it may be carried slung upon the wrist. The colors of the materials are a matter of choice, but dark green silk lined with roft silk of a lighter shade of the same color, and ribbon and cord of an old gold color, would be a strikingly pretty and effective combi nation. MANY NOVELTIES FOR FALL Wonderful Selection From Which the Woman of Fashion May Pick Her Favorite. Milady of fashion who is seeking for novelties in fall fabrics will have a wonderful selection to choose from this year. The soft colors which blend so well in furs show to special advan tage in the new materials. Kittens' ear cloth, a soft, velvety material, just what the name implies, is a triumph indeed of the weaver's art. Drap de nymphe, a cloth fabric with the luster and drape of charmeuse, chenille cloth which is rich, soft and distinct ive, and peluche de Jaine bid fair to be some of the most used materials ol the season. The demand for soft clinging folds and draperies this year has taxed the manufacturer's skill to the greatest de gree. The result from the loom is a marvel of art, even the stiff brocade of silver and gold, praised by our an cestress of old, has been transformed under the deft finger, of the weaver in to a pliable material with a softness that falls and drapes at the modiste's will. The brocade of this fall is of a royal richness, with a riot of color and fanciful designs. One beautiful design was woven of gold and claret, the warp being of one and the woof of the other. Over the background was bro caded a dec'gn in plain claret. The complete effect was an impression of veiled light. MOIRE BAGS ARE POPULAR Especially In Black, lo Match the Present Taste in Color, They Are In Great Demand. When a buyer who has just returned from Europe was asked what was the most popular bag, he said without hes itation, "Moire, particularly black.'' With thc demand for black dresses and black millinery it naturally fol lows that the bags should also be black and that the remarkable popu larity of moire should extend to these dainty accessories Demand for moire silk has caused a shortage in the markets, it is said, and, although the looms of some of the mills are running overtime, they cannot supply the demand. Shapes of bags are original and unique. The mountngs of many of them are of metal, while others are drawn in by a heavy cord or narrow moire ribbon. Hand-embroidered flow ers are frequently used to brighten the black bags, or small designs are wrought in colored beads. Venetian Velvet. A Venetian velvet recently imported is so light in weight that it has been well named here as "cobweb." While it comes in all the new colors, in none is it more beautiful than in that lovely new green called cascade, because of its quality of reflecting the color of a waterfall as seen from below. The color seems to have been created for .?xpioltiog the wonderful high lights and shadows the graceful folds of cob web velvet gives to it. lo btASUN FUR BEAUTY FEMININE FINERY NEVER SO LUXURIOUS AS NOW. Showing of Imported Frocks by One New York House Reveals the Ex travagance That ls to Be Marked. The shops are all displaying fem ining finery calculated to arouse the enthusiasm even of the most indiffer ent observer, but one house on lower Broadway had on view last week a collection of imported frocks which struck the high note of the seasot with regard to extravagance. Else where were found models as beautiful but nowhere else were so many BU perb creations shown in one group. Every famous Freu'.l dressmake: was represented by tbj best of his o: her productions, and looking over th seores of elaborate models and read ing the price labels, one could no help exclaiming over the extravs gance which can justify a shrew< buyer in catering after this fashio to American women. The only COL elusion is that American purses mus be full and American husbands am fathers must be very indulgent. But if this is to be a season of un usual extravagance it is also to b' a season of exceptionally beautifu clothes. This fact has been evlden since the first autumn models bega) to drift across the ser's, and the co! lection of frocks referred to above em phasized it, underscored it, put ex clamation marks after it. After a general survey of the ex hibit, one was left with a dazed im pression as of a riot of velvets anc furs, chiffons and laces, wonderful gleaming embroideries and supple silk er stuffs in lines of indescribable I beauty. But closer study revealet the unity in variety and resolved thc bewildering confections into their com ponent parts. Our sketch shows a gown of chan tilly lace and chiffon. A bright bit of color was added in the way of a deep reddish-purple belt and garlands o? roses of harmonizing tones. The blouse and tunic were of white chif fon. The profusion of Intricate embroi dery and beads is one of the most pro Chantilly Lace and Chiffon. nounced features of the handsome eve ning frocks and a quantity of dull golci and silver is another thing that leaves a distinct impression. Velvet, and fili are omnipresent, aid brocades are claiming a surer hold than was accord ed to them when manufacturers and dressmakers combined '.o push them last year. MARY DEAN. To Strengthen Silk Stockings. To save silk stockings, first buy them large, almoet a full size larger than you may wear in a cotton or lisle stocking, next darn loosely the heel and toe, and places for garter catches, all before wearing the stockings. This prevents holes from appearing in heel and toe and the knee from having runners. Rinse out in cold water aft er each wearing, and the stockings will last two or three times longer than when these precautions are not taken. Have a Waistcoat Have a waistcoat for your autumn suit. All that you need is a yard and a quarter of eilk in Scotch plaid, checked brown and old rose or black and white and this you divide evenly and poin at the shoulders to a narrow strip which extends round the back of the neck. Tho applied pieces must broaden io wide, shaped ends which button together at front center and make a perfect waistcoat effect Ginning Notice, We notify our {patrons tiwit <>>i Ginnery will close down fruin 1). .mbei 22 to 28; and comment-in >eceniber 30th we will gin ? - y vo days in the week, Tuest . ?...! .Viday.
