SEVERELY SIMPLE.
Gowns for the Winter season
Are to Be Made Very
Plain.

The tailor gowns that are shown in
the autumn are always on the severe
ly simple order, and this year there is
no deviation from this rule. But the
gowns are exceedingly smart, and
there are three or four different styles
to choose from. so that every one
ought TO be able TO find something be-
coming among them. There are three
or four different styles Of skirts-the
one that was worn last winter and this
summer with the shaped founce and
apron front; then there is the one
with the front breadth very narrow
at the top and flaring at the foot, with
fiounce at the side and back. There
are also plain gored skirt and the
circular or bell skirt. ,One of the pref
test new skirts is bell skirt with
seam down the front. This is especial
ly good in the rough cheviots that are
so attractive for autumn wear-and |
the first tailor gowns that are made |
are almost always OF these rough |
cheviots. This season they are TO be
made with a hree-quarter-length |
coat, double-breasted and with side
pieces, or like a mans cutaway coat,
quite long in the back, and cut so as to
show the waistcoat in front. Almost
all these coats have a narrow turned
down collar Of velvet or silk, but are,
with the exception Of the collar. abso-
lutely plain. There is one style of coat
that is quite short in the back and has
long square tabs in front, belt at the
back fastening under these tabs.
An attractive gown Of black serge
has the shaped front breadth and cir
cular founce, but the founce is put on .
under instead Of over, and the cloth ,
OF the upper part hangs down over IT. /
so that it looks like double skirt.
The coat is really long tieht-ittine /
waist, double-breasted and with '
most elaborate braided front. This is '
style of gown that is sure to be pop 4
llar, and is most useful. II will be q
