design. which is being worn by every wo-
man who has a pretty instep.
hint right here for comforts sake will
not be amiss- Don't buy stockings too
short. They force the toes up against the
shoe, nine cases out of ten cause cOrns
and buniOns- Give the toes freedom in the
stockings and they will generally find
themselves easy resting places in the boot
The daintiest Renaissance boot Is made
Of unglazed kid, soft, and smooth. The
beauties at Bar Harbor are Just beginning
10 discover this fact. A good plan in re-
gard to the stockings is to buy plain silk
and do the embroidery yourself. This is
Miss Virginia Fairs method. A design
may thus be followed that will not be
destroyed, IN appearance, by the sandal
straps.
The fail fashions are undoubtedly fixed,
and now all one has to do is TO purchase
and don the pretty things. An autumn
gown of red creDOn with bodice Of black
glace silk, tucked yoke met with a dou-
bic box plat that falls to the belt in
pouch shape. is one of the latest importa-
tons. Crepon will be favOrite dress ma
terial, notwithstanding the many state
ments already made to the contrary. 1t
Will be perfectly safe to invest in gown
OF this exceedingly dressy stun.
In tweeds and Scotch hOmespuns and
wool plaids, green is the leading color and
mingling with the bright warm red, is
found a biege tint. That seems to be most
popular. Red rises brilliantly in the fore
ground of favoritism. though dull green
follows close behind it.
Be little careful how you add blou~s
to your wardrobe, for they are becoming
blase. The tight fitting habit basque that
shows OFF a good figure to advantage, is
making such alarming Roadway We al
ready begin to realize that the many dol
lars devoted to pretty waists will have
been squandered, and when the cool days
come blouses will be a pronounced thing
of the past.
Although every now and then we are
shocked by being told, some princess will
not adopt the big sleeves, We need not be
unnecessarily frightened. The change
from balloon to coat-fitting sleeves is sure
but fortunately, slow. Gowns having big
sleeves will pass though the fall gowns
are graced with those of moderate di-
mansions and with the decided droop. A
thorough contraction will follow, but it
will be by degrees.
Fur will be popular. and the first cold
snap will announce that chinchilla is
ready to share honors with seal. Collars
Of both will be made wide and square and
will fall over capes of heavy rich colored
CLOTH Black will be put in the back
ground, where IT truly belongs-for colors,
for both fall and winter, are to be warm
and bright. Ermin, therefore, must con-
tent itself by acting as lining only, which
is really its popular place though Dame
Fashion did try to give IL a place last
year in outer trimmings.
In the way of trimmings, gold braid is
in the ascendant. 1t has ceased TO confine
itself to the quieter gowns made of alpaca
and grass cloth, but creeps over onto vel
vets and silks in fall models. This only
lives up to the announcement that the col
ors Of sunny Italy are to prevail
Buttons now used as trimmings, are
lovely capes lazuli. Lapis lazula cuff
links and studs set in rows of tiny dia-
monds are the proper things just now
1t is very amusing to note the sur
prise with which LOndoners are struck,
when they tour on this side of the At
lantic, with the styles of the American
woman. 1t does ones heart good to hear
them confess that "the only sartorial point
In which they have, as yet, failed to
equal us, is the tailor-made gown" Never
mind Miss Londoner, your confession an

Bar Harbor, and oh, lot of other places
before you go home. Hisbeth Putnam.
