comes confused because she finds much di-
versity of opinion among them. Early fall
styles will probably be those of summer to
most intents and purposes. Then the old
fashions will blend into the new. instead of
coming to an end with rightabout. This
has been the way for several seasons. a de-
velopment that cool springs and late sum-
mers may have assisted. The blending pro-
cesses are pleasant, anyhow, especially for
women of limited means.
These processes are suggested strongly by
the new wool fabrics offered for early fall
tailor suits. These goods vary very little
from the present ones. They include many
fancy suitings. showing either fiecks, dots,
stripes fancy figures. all of which point
10 less elaboration in makeup, but it will
not do to be sure of a widespread change
in this direction. Many new fabrics show
fancy borders. often on both sides of the
goods. so lot of the border can be used in
the gown. This border is submitted as a
substitute for lace. passementerie and other
elaborate trimmings. The fabrics are light
in weight many of them noticeably wiry.
Canvas. wolfe and Examines can be worn
late in the season, and the sensible plan to
follow for her who has to practice economy
Is TO make her summer tailor gown do till
late in the fall. when it will be possible to
know definitely what is the proper thing. 1t
Is disappointing to have a, gown made and
think that you are fixed for the coming sea-

Many OF these suits are very pretty and
look cool. while many another looks hotter

very cool. but in natural shades they crush
easily. Linen in colors and white seem TO

No suit the street on hot day
looks cooler and fresher than the silk one,
and these in the gun-metal grays are espe-

On the whole. it is safer TO choose gray for
