Severely Simple Tailor Gowns.

Harper's Bazaar: The tailor gowns
that are shown in the autumn are al
ways on the severely simple order, and
this year there is no deviation from
this rule. But the gowns are exceed
ingly smart, and there are three or
four different styles to choose from, sc
that everyone ought to be able to find
something becoming among them.
There are three or four different styles
of skirts-the one that was worn last
winter and this summer with the
shaped flounce and apron front; then
there Is the one with the front breadth
very narrow at the top and flaring at
the foot, with flounce at the side and
back. There are also plain gored
skirt and the circular or bell skirt. One
of the prettiest new skirts is n bell
skirt with seam down the front. This
is especially good in the rough chev-
OTIS. This year they are to be
made with three-quarter-length
coat double breasted and with side
pieces, or like Il mans cutaway coat,
quite long in the back, and cut so as
TO show the wastcoat in front. AL
most all these coats have a narrow
turned down collar of velvet or silk,
but are, with the exception of the col
lar, absolutely plain. There is one
style of coat that is quite short in the
back and has long square tabs in
front, a belt at the back fastening un-
der these tabs.
An attractive gown Of black serge
has the shaped front breadth and cir
cuiaf flounce, but the flounce is put on
under instead 6f over, and the cloth
of the upper part hangs over it, so that
il looks like double skirt. The coat is
really long tight-fitting waist, dou'
bic breasted and with a most elabor-
ate braided front. This is style Of
gown thaC is sure to be popular, and is
most useful 1t will be made up later
in a smooth cloth; just at present, as
has been said, the rough cloths are
more used than the smooth, and the
Venetian cloth, which has little
touch of white through it, is smarter
thsn the absolutely plain colors.
There is no noe color fashionable
this season. The different shades of
green and brown and blue will all be
worn, while there also will be seen a
number of red gowns, both bright red
and the deeper shades Of the same
color. There are more browns now
seen than any others, and it seems to
he rather fad to combine two or
three shades, from golden brown to
deep seal. Many Of the novelty goods
have two or three shades of the same
color, but, of course, novelty goods are
not used in tailor gowns.
