FASHIONS OF TIE COMING WINTER

The decree has gone forth that the
outline Of the coming skirt is to be
marked by distinct changes. The vogue
of the clare" has practically passed,
though many OF the tall and willowy
scrt. by whom Il has been found so be-
coming. VIII probably assert their in
dividuality and cling to the graceful
curve for some time to come The new
skirt has naln,hly arrived and Is evi-
IDENTIFY here to stay. With it severity
is the order Of the day so far as OUT
line is concerned-ea severity,
though. It Is plain but still graceful and
feminine-full generally, touching all
round and varying in length OF train
according TO fabric used. Borders,
band and other simple forms may adorn
the bottom Of this skirt but anything
suggesting flare, hounce or frill Is dis
tinctly passe, so far az fall fashions are
concerned-even for the thinner fab
rics for dinner and evening wear. For
these. however. the innovation is more
in fabric and decoration than In cut
SO far women have been satisfied
with reproductions OF the fashions Of
lllltt OF luuI ttNNullth ohHf IL hbN'l-
ties. II seems. however. that they are
now TO take a deeper dip into the past,
and ferret out the very newest from
early stages OF French history. AT
least. so come the hints from Paris
though as yet there are no concrete IL
lustrations vouchsafed. But new and
beautiful embroidery for evening weai
is shoyyn-machinp wrought in satir
stitch in the most exquisite shades on
foundation of point d'esprit OF gauz'
OF white or cream. This is used foi
collars. stoles. berthas and sleeve gar
niture. and is known as broderie dart
The designs are of the Pompadour ren-
aissance. or rococo type, with some
times the addition OF fine gold or silve'
thread. The whole is at once exquisite
" dainty. rich and effective-and th'
prices will definitely prevent It's eve
becoming common"

the third style has a longer trained ef-
feet full rather than concave. about the

waist down.
Following the departure in skirts the
waist, corsage, blouse, jacket-all have
taken on an added fulness OF outline
sleeves most noticoahly so. Some OF the
newest OF sleeves are huge affairs.
though those Of the street gown are
still of modest proportions; but as the
great Paris couhlriers have decided to
put the utmost effort In to the elabora-
tion Of the new sleeve styles. one may
expect something quite startling for
the winter season.
AS 10 wraps. they, of course. will
conform in a measure to the outline of
sleeve and corsage. The extremely
long coat and the decided coattail are
not likely 10 claim many adherents on
! either side Of the water. There are
novel wrap fabrics displayed. which
are easily adaptable TO the full. loose
thrse-quarter styles and kimono backs,
which many Of the new French gar
ments show. The tailored coat OF
course. will always be in evidence on
some of the best dressed people, but
as to smartness It Is this season super
