Fashionable Fabrics.
Diagonal striped cheviots and serg
es, although not exactly new, are to
be largely worn this fall and winter,
and very handsome they look when
made up Into tailor gowns. The ma-

: browns and greens, blues, rods and
other colors are combined with
black.
Sergos in plain, diagonal and
| chevron stripes make especially use
ful traveling suits for the late fall.
, They are usually trimmed with
braid.
This Is to be a velvet season as
the dlrectolre fashions with their
j clinging skirts are especially lovely

some lovely new shades.
Most charming is the display of I

house where all the laiegt novelties
in dress goods are always on view.

^ plumages and are very becoming. A
great many turbans will be worn,
1 these are much larger than usual
; and of oblong shape.
Many of the new hats are bound

more than an inch over the brim.
