printed Turkish and Japanese leather
ones are likely to be more generally
worn. A new and becoming way to
attach a soft girdle to the draped waist
is to carry 1t upward In a graceful
curve at either side Of the pointed
front, ending it under looped ends just
below. the bust.
- Simpler and broader outlines, which
bring out effectively the curves Of the
bust and waist are embodied In the
new models, and wide, amply draped
cloaks are made as an accompaniment
to the graceful dresses. Directoire
styles still prevail: the small cape,
which had some favor at the end of
the summer, is often shown, but coats
with a short-bust effect are also prom

Coats, jackets and all forms of outdoor
garments for autumn are made with
sleeves Of generous though not exag-
gerated proportions.
High collars are again to the fore,
certain forms of the Medici being de-
cidedly In favor. Collarless necks have

lars are new and the most becoming
things in the world-to the woman
with a round throat. They're round
little things and as quaint and plain as
anything could be, buttoning around
the throat. Some of them are embroid-
cred in blind work but most Of them
have a touch Of broderie Anglaise
somewhere about them. The new stifl
collars are fascinating. Some few OF
them are the turnover kinds. but most
Of them are the straight kind. severe

world like a mans tucked shirt-and

yoke. There's even a hint that we'll
have the old ruff1ed shirt waists back
again, those with the front piece trim
med either side with a ruffle. The
most popular materials for shirt waists
are voiles, henriettas and mohairs, both
the plain and novelty cloths: green and
blue checks and plaids. and some
brown and black: and in the novelty

There is no established length for
the fashionable coat, but ex:.pt in
rare instances the length of the coat
is made to balance the length Of the
skirt, and the gracefulness Of the
combination Is frequently lost by
having the top garment so long that
it is out of proportion to the skirt.
In purchasing ready-made costumes,
this should always be borne in mind
by the woman who seeks effects that
appear to the figure made. Quite a

Of the fashionable coats are built up
on foundations of silk or satin, for
indeed some Of the smartest are en-
tirely unlined. In such instances
they are exceedingly loose fitting
with their fastening effected by
means of large soft cords or odd
Oriental looking clasps.
There is one thing truly noticeable
concerning the cuts which are given to
the earliest fall coat suits, and that is
that the coats are almost entirely tight
fitting, in the back, at any rate. In
length, they vary very much from the
shortest Etons to full length ones. The
