FALL FANCTEs.
AiIuling Novelties TO Coax
Money from Purses.


All of the shop windows are full of
the most alluring fall novelties, fall
suits and fall hats, gloves, wraps,
petuc0ats, and the hundred and one
dainty accessories that go to make up
the complete toilette. Woman's inter-
est in these things is tremendous just
now. Everybody is IN need of clothes
and must have clothes. and during the
next few weeks there viii be a fren-
zied rush to dressmaker, tailor. milf
ner and into all departments of the big
stores.
A Talk of Fashion.
OF first consideration and import
ance is the street suit. What to have
ton Fortunate indeed is the woman
VINO can find ready made just the suit
that is In accord with her taste and her
purse. Surely there was never better
opportunity to make a. purchase of this
sort Of thing, for suit manufacturers
have fairly outd0ne themselves in the
preparation of their fall models.
The broadcloth suit viii be the
choice of many; in style it may be
simple or elaborate, some of the mod
els being strictly tailOr-made, with
simple stitching or braid trimmings.
Others repeat the more elaborate cos
tune effects, are richly embroidered
ON lapel, collar and waistcoat, taking
on the look of a dressy afternoon re-
cepti0n gown.
Then there is a host of velvet suits
from which to make choice, simple
models with plain little coats and
short round skirts. others in the more
pronounced Louis and Empire styles
some of them beautifully embroid-
cred In the soft prune tone ans
the new bronze greens these suits are
most attractive Loose half fitting
coats in continental styles are an ultra
feature in these lines, and with their
big revers, gauntlet cuffs and pocket
Taps are most picturesque indeed
The Use of NfoIair.
Mohair gowns are not to be over
looked This fabric is particularly
well adapted for a costume to be worn
in the early fall weeks without wrap
and later on under d fur-lined coat
OF silk or cloth. The smOothness OF
the mohair its dust and dirt resisting
qualities, make it as we'll adapted for
winter wear under wrap as for sum
ner.
One Of the most effective models
made in this material is q brown mo-
ha1f costume from one of the best
makers of Paris. It is a medium dark
tobacco brown and shows the use OF
this material in the heavier winter
weight The newest point is the prin-
cease etIect given to a tWO-piece cos
tune. This is Cleverly worked out by
