DICTUM OF sARToRIAL AUTHORITY

The new patterns as well us the lat.

gate their DEGREES in regard to corona

1t was to be expected that this sea
son would see more color Introduced
into the patterns for fall and winter.
for after an is said and dane ii has to
be confessed that for some reason or
other we continue to get our ideas on
mems clothes from London just as we
seek Inspirations for creations" for
women from Paris.
One distinct change from the general
scheme of last year has been ordered.
The padding under the title of mill
tary'' shoulders has been abandoned.
Striped cheyiOts will lead in material
for suitings In fact, for suits and for
that extra. pair or two of trousers
Which are required the stripes seem to
be having Il fairly long inning, and
unless all signs fail it is not destined to
end for another two or three years at
least Certainly this year the plates
show more effects of this kind than
ever before. not excepting the time
WHOM the exceptional popularity of the
stripe led to its temporary withdrawal.
To be correct in color one should
choose a pattern with q foundation of
brown, for this is likely to be the pre-
vailing tone this year, although gray

used more freely than for several sea-
sons past.
For the trousers alone the black and
white stripe which was seen quite
great deal last year is continued in fa-
yor, but the stripes are now wider than
before, ard the general effect is more
pronounced and delicate. without being
altogether loud.
Coats will not be so short as last
year. and the wide bottoms which We're
made almost essential by the absurd
padding and squaring of the shoulders
will be dispensed with. In word, the
suits for this fall and winter are to
| fit the figure in a proper, natural and
sensible manner.

coats. The waistcoats worn with even

a delicate pearl
Waisteoats for day wear will show
the popularity of the stripe. for, al
though there is a great showing of
plain browns and taDs. there are com
paratiyely few checks, the stripes be-
ing used in the patterns offered for
these who cannot be contented with

While more color has been introduced
into sutings and nearly all materials
used by the tailor. the shirtmakers and
haberdashers report a revolt against
the loud effects in shirtings and half
hose which prevailed last year. The
tone of this revolt has been so decided
that the manufacturers appear to have
gone almost TO the other extreme. and
it is stated that the goods for the fall
VIII lie almost sombcr in effect.
The influence of the black and white
stripes in the aouserings is seen in the
patterns for the new half hose shown
by the best dealers the same colors be-
ing used quite great deal in a varie-
