FORECAST OF FALL STYLES.

The first hints of fall STYLES are
about. early as it is. There IS nom
ing definite as yet, everything, lh'
stead. seeming in the transition pc
riod. waiting for some radical change
to develop
In these first hints (Which are
everywhere in the shops) only the
conservative things have come out
and those are tentative. But. TOR all
that. there are definite little changes.
both of color and line. that mark the
styles as different, even though the
big changes haven't been determined
upon.
The tailormade suitS-and they re
the first things that woman gers
in the early fali-are more severely
tailored in style than the elaborate,
individual styles we've been seeing
so long that we've almost forgotten
the charm of the long, simple lines.
But Paris declared for the severely

earliest fall suits of cloth are nothing
more than reproductions of some OF
the most stunning of the late linen
models-the ones that wouldn't do

the French makers say to the most
graceful lines and cut to sweep out
from the waist line into a long-sklrt-
ed effect that has all the idea and sug-
gestion of fullness. yet is nothing
more than "easy." They're only tight
fitting in effect, most of them fitting
with an easy grace that is Impossible
with coats that depend upon being
buttoned up for their "set.'
Instead of straighterlined box
coats of covert cloth these fitted coats
are promised.
Plated skirts are about done with

Gored skirts are still in. but with
the longer. severer types of coat the
fayorite skirts are either nine-gore or
circular, made up in hundred WAYS
that disguise them for the models
they are and permit all sorts OF dis
tlnctive little touches to be used.
Perhaps the prettiest of these new
skirts-it's a depression, not a coat
suit at all-is of a material that be-

with every other gore accordion pial'-

between are perfectly plain, and the
plain tops to the plated cores make

the skirt sways and hutters out from
the plated cores. It's very grace

Back to the coat suits AGAIN.
There's a lot of difference OF opinion
as to the coming most popular length

coats were over and done with, yet
some of the prettiest fall models
shown have long coats. but htted.
Some Of the best tailors. on the
other hand, are making everything

There's as much diversity OF opln-

three points on which almost every
body seems to agree; black, whlch

Beyond these three statements,
there are the most conflicting rumors
One tailor asserts that it is to be

mourning suits-claims that red and
blue and green strong deep shades

duller colors.
Another declares that everything
