DRESS ACCESSORIES.

For an autumn suit, gamefeather tweed or Shetland homespun are alike unbeatable. They repay their cost, and there are tweeds for which it is claimed that they are thornproof. Handbags are growing in size and beauty; one quaint variety is in the fehape of a little bolster. The newest pearl embroideries are silvered; they have a delightful look on filmy dance frocks, and accord well “with chiffony black frocks. An odd fashion, luekity confined to a few is to have the shingled head plain in the daytime and curled at night. Expensive! Pieces of semi-precious stones and amber, linked together by gold or silver, are replacing the hitherto prevalent bangle and bracelet. And earrings are not nearly so much worn. The sleeveless cardigan is a serious rival of the ordinary jumper where sports suite are concerned. For autumn wear it is both practical and becoming. A high collar that does not meet in fVont aitd through whose centre is slotted a wide ribbon that ties at one side, is a novelty of the moment. Such collars usually accompany waistcoat “ fronts.”
