AA I ,J By Lady Duff-Gordon ("Lucile") FASHION this leasoo. as all the signs point out more and more plainly, indulges tn two ex tremes. In gowns the vonno la as much (or the simple as for the sen sational. For the present the "golden mean," often so highly reo ommended, is disregarded. A typical "Lucile" costume for the Fall is hers shown. It consists Ot a gown ot old rose ratine and marqul sTTaand & llttlo coat of the former fabric, whose straight cut sl'll con trives to show all the pretty curves, of shoulders and bust. Its simple, tsperlng lspel of blaik sattn sots oS aqually well the vivid coloring of the cloth and the softness of the dead' mauve velvet, which Is ar ranged as a combined collar and tie, its enda lntrodueinu the further con trast of Uuy orange embroidered in Indian red. The skirt has a plain panel back and wrap-over front, and some few inches below the waUt the ratine gives place to marquisette and takes a merely secondary position as curved hip bauds and uliuu'ider strap on the hinder fabric, whoso sleeve draperies are continued Into something ot fU'bu fjiui ft the back. Another simpler but 1 think equal ly charming cteatlou is infilled by those earlU-et among buds of Ula: wbos? delicate uu.ive is . faintly flubbed with, pink -while Just a touch or two c' real rose here is Intro duced by drawing out tiny pedal like loops of satlu and this inusnej ix'trl broldeiles on cortuu und sleeves and then again by Introduc ing a central fold ot satlu lutJ the Silken waist band. ' And all this, you must know, tins, for background, the most delicately elusive blue vhariueuse wuoge pearl-edged . foJJs open at the left Bids over s petticoat of fletib-pluk tilnon and luee -and then button at the back, and la. the front era bord ered in countletss strings of pearls. -An entire (uxskin the beautiful ly soft black Alatks variety is laid about the nei-k and shoulders of the very original coat of brown tlbeline. narrowly striped with black, it be ing further distinguished, too, by a huge single rever of wb:te satin, brocaded with a boldly raised device in black velvet. A big scroll formed of entwined eonllnrs snd pipings of the zlbeline and black velvet and studded w:th sundry little velvet buttons fastens It far over at the left side; and directly in line with this novel ornament come two oth ers, which catch the wrap-over tunlo together above an underskirt, whose slight fulness is held In closely about the ankles by a bordering ot the velvet. Another photograph shows one ot the many In fart, almost endless possibilities of the scarf which this season is ot such increased length and loveliness that it Is quite quali fied tn do dutf as an evening wrap, or, again, to transform the simplest satin or silk slips into an exquisite tea or dinner gown. A bordering of fur to the one side makes an effective foil for the misty transparency of the black chiffon, and, equally, for the hand-embroidery many-colored as Joseph's fa mous cout which is so closely wrought on the rtlmy fabric ot Its background as to lend It the texture and the shimmering richness ot silk. Kevertlng to "simplicity," if you want your dishabille to be of the daintiest and most alluring (as such unceremonious attire should always be, else it is fatally apt to degoner erate into slackness" and untidiness) make note of a little s.lp of an un derdress of, flesh pink charmeuso. which Is, on the corsage, cut quite law as In an evening gown, so thst only an elusive transparency of still mor faintly pink .Inon veils the ehould-rs and forms the short ktmo na tl ev.'K. its soft folds being held In under the bust by raised trails of rose.-i, furmei of folded and shaded pink rlbcn, with just a tender green leaf here nnd there and. finally. In the centre, an outspread bow appli que in paU turquoUe-t'nted ribbon. These flower trails follow and ac centuate all the pretty curves of the fl,-ure though for the marking ot the actual waistband, a little lower down. ! fiftr tired a' wide threading of petal-p'nk ribbon beneath an In sertion ot lace while then araln on the skirt front, other festoons and circlets of roue, with a central blue bow, are broldered on the f.lmy pink nlnon and its panel appliques of lace. . Another peep of b'uo comes from the ribbon threading and bow above the lare edg ng of the char lueuse uuderdress. from which there peep out sllkeit stocklnes and satin slices as faintly pink and perfectly plain and close-fitting as a second skin. And over all, to make even I All A-itAA AfiAAA. this delicate pink still more fa'ntly suggestive by stealing some ot its flush of color, there is a loose and transparent kimono coat of white nlnon and lace with two ornaments of satin cordings, tasselled with silk for the finishing. If not the actual fas tening ot the front Add a little. lace tap, ou which other tiny pink roses are wreathed and until you have tried it you can not Imagine bow piquant one ot these demure little caps can be and you have, complete, what is ad mitted to be a very pretty picture- And now, as to the "Sensation" evening town. I have modelled It in flesh-pink charraeuse and nlnon, only where the cling ng skirt opens at one side have I Introduced some touches of lace and broideries of crystal and paste, using, too, a crescent of tiny shaded silken flowers and leaves to hold together the opening folds of the chp.r meuse, so that, the upj er part being quite plain aiH at the decolette merging almost looks, at a little dis tance, as it tho slim, lovely body were only lightly veiled by the tunic drap eries ot pale emerald nlnon. And countless other lines of light and diamondb ra diate outward and upward from this central splendor, the last rays reaching far down onto the long, narrow train, which is ar ranged to tall at one side, and Is there outlined with silver lace, stud dod with diamonds, its slight fulness being eventually drawn into a band ot massed diamonds, and fur ther weighted by two b'.g tassels of diamonds and crystals. zwmi mm- .

Robinne, the Charming French Actress, Photo graphed with Her Shadow. Tads, Nov. C. OW do you Co, and how's your shadow?" Is the latest form of friendly greeting among up-to-date TarUIans. It is the first time outside of Oriental roun trltfi that a person's shadow has cut muth cf a fUure r social relations, and the present l'arli fail is not so much for your shadow Itself sj for photographs ot it. To bo really In the swim your photograph must contain your shwiow alt-o. Accordingly, everybody U askln? everybody else: "Have you had your shBdow' photograph taken?'" The idea b&s been seized by loading artists cf the camera and insenlously developed with results highly Interesting to their sitters and profitable to themselves; for. unlike your solid self, your sliudow may tako a hundred dlferent and grotesque shapes, according to the perspective in which it la cat and caiiht. These possibilities of shadow photoprraphy appear to have first occurred to the celebrated actor. Sacha Uuliry, who is an Insatiable searcher for novelty of an Interesting or amuslntf kind. When Gu'.try circulated amorz his frlenils pnotopraplis of himself In different poses, each pose beln? accompanied by Its shadow sometimes diminutive and asalu enormously exaggerated from that moment l'arli had a now reason for continu ing to exist. The almoet endless forms in which the sit ter's shadow ruy be projected, and caught by the camera, has caused Oultry to make such photograph of a given person the basis cf a system of fortune telling that 1 more, startling in Its results than are the best ef forts of those who foresee the future by tucan of playing cards.
