Some Fall Fashion Hints

There are two things absolutely GER
tain about the new styles in fall dresses.
Skirts Will certainly be narrower and
sleeves will be close fitting with ruflles,
4, putfs or bows Of ribbon at the top. The
oldfashioned knife plating has been
revived for trimming bodices and
sleeves. Quite the prettiest sleeve
/ which will be seen is the tight-ftting
| crlnkled affair, frilled in the seam to
/ look plated ruffies. Both rutfles are
sewed in at the armhole, the under one
/ falling almost to the elbow, the other
| about two inches shorter. Another is
! made perfectly PLAN, fitting snugly.
| Around the top is a hounce, cut pre-
cisely, the dressmaker says, like a big
! dinner-plate with a hole in the middle
1t is gathered in a rutfie around the
1 top. Another stylish and odd sleeve
/ has a couple of putfs made in one piece
the larger at the back of the shoulder
| the smaller in front and fastened to-
gether by silver buckle. Still others
are cut somewhat larger at the top,
'mutton-leg" fashian, and finished with
q cape-like piece over the shoulder.
Although skirts will be considerably
narrower, they are not skinny" by
any means, being eight-gored, five and
one half yards around.
! Coats will hold their own for tailor
made suits, as they have done fer so
long. They will be made different.
however. The old box-coat fronts are
passed and will not be heard of by the
| time early winter arrives. The new
coats will be medium length, net 50 eX-
/ tremely short as some would have US
! believe. One stylish coat for early
! autumn, now making in one of our
shops, fits perfectly, like the old
| basquines, and buttons straight down
| the front with round fiat buttons. The
| material is green-f faced cloth and all the
| seams are outlined in braid, finishing
in fancy loops. Still, the possibilities of
! the lacked bodice and vest are not ex-
! hausted. One smart model intended
! for promenades and informal calls is OF
| Nenetian-green tailor cloth. The jacket
! fits closely at the back. and the seams
are strapped and stitched. The straight
! fronts are turned back with pointed
| revers, and the vest is of dark green
corded silk. The skirt to this gown Is
made with 4 seven-gored skirt, pIped
at the hem with green satin.
\ handsome visiting gown Of silk and
wooden jacquard material in brown and
! black is made with a bOero of the ma
! terial with satin. The front is turned
back in revers and show the satin lin
! ing. 1t is edged with heavy lace The
front is drapped in the form of a blouse
with heavy lace. The girdle is made OF
| satin ribbon and fastens on the side.
| The sleeves are finished with short full
pulfs at the top, shirred through the
center. The skirt is trimmed midway
with four narrow bands of satin.
Black and white toilets viii continue
in vogue. One of the favored gowns is
| black grenadine or etamine made up
over white silk, with a bodice of white
| silk almost covered with point applique
! lace. Black and white striped silk
| appears among the newer frocks.
| Brown and black gowns braided with
green will be popular during the fail
and winter.
One of the newest gowns for autumn
wear ordered in Paris is described rs
! follows: "Biscuit-cOlor ottoman cloth
IS the material from which the gown If
made. The sash and the stock collar
| arc of >olvot Of riyh daLlia shade.
| The sash is wound twice about the
figure, forming a very deep corslet
The ends are conspicuously broad, and
reach nearly to the bottom of the gown.
! The skirt is made plain, but shows the
| generous fullness at the back. The
sleeve is regarded as dream of beauty.
1t is made of the ottoman cloth and
is trimmed with a exquisite passcmen-
tcrIe. The upper part Of the sleeve
shows short puff, which, some dis
lance above the elbow, is finished by q
band OF passcmenterie. The passemcn-
/ tcrIe shows all the varying shades OF
dehlia, with just Il suggestion o. pink
/ here and there. Below this band the
sleeve clings to the arm in a mass OF
ripping wrinkles until it reachhs the
wrist. Here it is edged with another
/ band Of passementerle, to which is add
/ ed rultle of the ottoman cloth, defined
4 by 4 narrow line Of the cleaning shaded
! dahlla trimming. The ruiIle is exceed
/ lngIy full and falls well over the hand.
This sleeve will be popular model for
both cloth and silk gowns. The chic
! black satin jacket is the special feature
| Of the costume, and is altogether the
newest thing in Paris. However, the
/ gown may be worn without it should
/ the wearer choose, as it Is made sepa-
/ rate from it. The hat to be worn with
this charming gown is a fine biscuit
! color felt, with broad brim faced with
black satin. 1t is trimmed with a scarf
of dahlla velvet exactly matching the
sash in color. The scarf encircles the
| crown, but at each side is arranged in a
cluster of pert outstanding loops. Then
there are three black ostrich tips, which
add flushing, bewitching touch.
! Beauty Which Lasts.
