The coming of the fall styles in wom-
ems gowns will be earlier than usual this
year, and may not present sudden ST.
multaneous shift from the summer styles
but rather a gradual appearance OF novel
designs and combinations worn by few
whom the others will initiate in breath
less rush.
The reason for this is that the dress
makers. who dictate the styles in Paris.
provided ahead this year for the large
numbers OF American women who would
visit the exposition. Thus, the tourists
were able TO get their fall gowns while
there. On returning home they will swell
by hundreds In every city the small num-
ber OF women who always 60 abroad and
bring out the modes early. But the Paris
modistes, since they had their designs
ready earlier than usual, have lost no
time in supplying them to the Ameri-
can stores.
One OF the results of the hurry in which
the Partisan fashioners laid their plans
for the fall Is that they contented them
selves with making slight changes from
the ideas that prevailed in the spring and
summer outfits. SO the summer gowns
blend into those of the fall without the
marked departure which always is de-
creed from Paris between one season to
the next
Thus a great sigh of Joy goes up from
the women who had been looking forward
with painful concern TO another struggle
between the modistes demanding elabo-
rately draped skirts on the one hand
and the women who don't want TO wear
them on the other.In their excitement the
Partisan bosses OF fashion only managed
to get as far as the Directoire.
IL was also thought that the bolero
would be done with, for a time at least,
when the summer was over but the fash
ion plates for the fall show no marked
disappearance OF the Elton jacket princi-
pie. though a characteristic autumn-of-
1900 touch is given by an introduction OF
brass buttons and gilt braid.
Another style which was thought to
have been failure was the automobile"
box coats, which. last winter and spring,
were ventured into as n rule, only by
women who were not too timid. Those
who wore them. however. spoke in such
terms OF the comfort OF the btx coats
that the modistes have had the courage
to try II again and have received such en-
couragement that they plan 10 have the
new coats much betucked, Father than
tailor made.
In short, about the only radical change
from the present modes is the reversios.
I'm slightly modified form. to the Russian
blouses. At any rate, the fear that the
signs OF early fall may be false alarm.
which causes many women OF limtell
means to postpone their one invest
ment until they can be sure there Is not
going TO be some unlocked for change.
will lose Its effect this year. and orders
may be placed with reasonable confidence
that the gown when completed. will not
already have been thrown out OF vogue
by n caprice of the Paris masters.
