FOR The WOMEN

Paris, Sept. 6.-The first faint sugges-
tons of a fast approaching fall are being
everywhere noticed. Ones trailing skirts
keep up a lively rustic along the dead
leaves piled inches thick along the av-
enues. The intense heat of July and
August played havoc with the shade
trees and left hardly a green twig to
tLtter on their branches
This summer boasts the distinction of
bringing in it's train the hottest day. Par
is has known for one hundred and fifty
years. Small wonder then tina it is go
ing out unregretted.
1t seems almost as if things inanimate
too had suffered from this summers in
tense heat. There is an unmistakable
limp air about even the smartest Of the
summer rigs one notices now at 1.-THE
Exhibition" Frills are a bit 'saggy,",
fichus a 'trife 'stringy" and picture hats
have more than a suggestion of that
melancholy last rose of summer" air.
Every cool. afternoon and evening is
taken advantage of by the smart woman
to air one of her modish fall creations.

rather passe summer gowns. Barege,

are all having their innings just now.

A simple youthful own that attested
the beauty of this brown and green COM
bination was made of crepe, woven in
silk and wool. 1t was of a light shade Of
wood brown crossed with a fine waxing
stripe of darker brown satin, on the bias.
The skirt was MADE perfectly plain
with the fullness at the back aid in a
single box plait. It just escaped the
ground by a hairs breadth and even at
the back there was no suspicion of a
train.
The corsage was cut away at the front
to show a broad plastron of ecru lawn
acordeon plated. This was bordered
With a broad fold of almond green rep
silk edged with narrow brown velvet
ribbon. The same velvet trimmed silk
was employed for the broad sailor col
lar. A fiuffy crayat bow of ecru lawn
ornamented the front of the high lawr
collar. The narrow ceinture of brown
velvet fastened with square green enam.

A draped overskirt has come stealthily
to the front again this fall but the cou.
turiers as yet handle it rather gingerly
and give evasive to questions
concerning the stability of it's popular,
ity. perhaps it will be, and indeed why
shouldn't it be the distinctive feature o
this winters goWns"-so they respond
to the women who are planning theil
winters wardrobe.
One of the very newest models out ha!

material from the skirt. 1t is a light

folds of the plaid. Over the front Their
falls a long square cornered overskir

The modistes too are ~favoring tn
Scotch tartans for their early fall toque

gowns One chic little affair designe
to be worn with a hunting suit was buil
on the lines of a regulation 'Scotc
