Shirt Waists for the Fall Will Tend More To-
ward Colors, and the Long Established
White Seems Now to Be Pass
ing Out.


r. RAULEIN BERTHA KRUPP. the
r. richest girl In the world. has
4 fallen in love with the American
shirt waist suit. Miss Krupp,
who has recently come into possession
OF her eighteen years and her fortune,
has been buying gowns from Paris and
gowns from London, and now she
wishes 20 invade New York for more
gowns.
Miss Krupp particularly admires the
shirt waist and she knows she must
send to New York 20 get it. Brought up
the unaffected daughter OF the gun
maker. she now revels in the possession
of more millions than are owned by
the greatest American heiress that
walks. What wonder that her girlish
fancy turns toward the handsomest
thing IN gowns.
Miss Krupp, who las just lightened
her mourning. wears a dress that is
most charming. and very quaint she
looks IN It. It IS an Irish gray. almost
silvery, and the skirt IS made with
many shirrings, one of those skirts that
somehow give one the bouffant effect.
Around the foot there are three founces
arranged to look like a triple skirt
Pipings in White.
There would be no contrast at all
were Il not for many pipings OF white
liberty used freely upon the skirt and
the waist. The yoke. for il is a gown
with a yoke. is made OF bands of white
liberty and lace and Of gray material
put together in the cleverest way.
The sleeves are marvels in width
below the elbow, with beautiful pieces
of lace and liberty silk set into the
puffs. They are exquisite sleeves. with
somehow the angel effect, for the lace
makes them tight.
With this gown Miss Krupp wears a
large brimmed hat trimmed with numer.
GUS ruffies Of gray chiffon. Another hat
accompanies this suit. a hat of autumn
chip, trimmed with numerous ostricl
plumes. a picture hat.
II is whispered I'm Berlin that Mis-
Krupp is ordering her laces for hel
trousseau. and prudent old wives sa,
that IT is none 700 soon. AT heires
must marry some day. and. with lace
IN such demand. II takes years 20 gather
enough for fine trousseau. The heavl
German Val lace is most used JUS
now, and in the decorative laces, ther'

this Hungarian belt and there IS a
quaint silver buckle in front. There
are buckles with dangling chains and
medalions.
There are wide Hungarian cuffs. with
little friHs Of taffeta on each side, and
there is a stock. with a frill at the top.
But the prettiest thing is the medallion
upon the sleeve. II is five inches
square and IS worked in conventional
style with all the colors OF the rainbow,
beautifully intermixed. In the center
there Is an initial
Blouse of Leaf Brown.
A second blouse was made OF leaf
brown taffeta. IT had a deep yoke Of
Mexican allover lace OF the finest quail
it'll. A small bordering of this lace fin
ished the cuffs. With this waist there
went a wide girdle OF brown suede of
the kind that is meant TO wrinkle. II
was fastened in front with an immense
gold buckle. A string Of gold beads
falling to the waist line will be worn
with this.
The third blouse was white in a soft
taffeta of very bright finish. looking al
most as lustrOus as Liberty. A deep
yoke of Venetian point was set in the
neck and there were sleeves attached
to the yoke. This was the only trim
ming the gown boosted. The lace yoke
and sleeves, being all Of one piece, gave
the French touch, which so many
blouses have this season.
Pretty Cloth Blouses.
The cloth blouses will be quite in evi,
dence this fall. They are cut on shirt
waist lines and are designed TO weaI
with skirts to match. but they are made
in such a manner that they can be worr
with different skirts. This is easily ar,
ranged if you will consider II.

Old Linen Waists.
They are taking all the old linen
waists and coloring them deep blue.
There is a shade Of blue which dyes
charmingly and the heavy linen waists
that have done duty as white waists
all summer are now dipped and made
new for winter.
Dame Fashion has declared for the
white waists so long that now her eyes
begin TO turn toward the blue waists
and the cranberry colors, and the other
deep tints. There is a lovely shade of
willow green, which is very desirable for
fall waists, either in heavy linen or in
light weight cloth.
Take your old white linen suits -
counsels a wise woman upon fashion
topics, land have them dipped for fan
wear. Take my word for il they can
be worn until snow flies.
Heavy dark linen suits were worn
under cloth coats with collars of fur all
last fall in London"
All of these things and many others
go to show the great vogue OF the wash
waist whether for winter or for sum
mer wear.
A Directoire Suit.
Here is a gown just as completed for a
very elegant woman. who wears the
1 handsomest dresses in town. The STYLE
Is Directorie. although it is by no means
an exaggerated gown, but a Directoire
