ODD COLORS BUT NEW SHADES

New York, Sept. 9--Already autumn
styles and materials are seen in the
shops but nothing definite has been
decreed as the thing for the coming
season. Still some things can be
reckoned on as almost certain. All
authorities are agreed that skirts are
to continue wide at the bottom and
fitting with cinging closely around
the hips The new models show in
Vulnerable ways of obtaining these re-
suits and the fate of the killed skirt
is still undecided. They are neither
as new or as smart as the gored and
circular skirts fitting smoothly over
the hips and having a wide ripping
fullness at the bottom.
The circular skirt is better suited
to the long skirt length than to the
short and the majority of the best
makers reserve it for the full length
models, using the gored patterns for
short skirt. The circular model does
not keep its shape so well in the short
length.
fail street frock shown is of Eng
lish suited checked in two tones of
gray. The skirt is circular of the type
most favored for walking costumes.
1t is a ripping model with bias bands.
These simple horizontal bands stitch
ed flatly or flat tucks are the forms
of trimming most often seen on the
new tailored models.
Two tone checks in white or colors
will not be in style this fall because
of their own popularity this summer
but broken checks and plaids in shad-
ings of one color or all in one tone
with the checked or plaid effect pro-
duced by variations in the weaving
and the thread finish are to be seen
in large numbers and some of the best
street frocks shown so far are made of
these fabrics.
There are also to be seen in beauti-
full and serviceable soft woolens small,
indefinite checks and plaids in green
and blue. blue and black brown and
black, green and black and the wine
reds and black. One New York house
is showing some expensive novelties
in certain shaded plaid cloths which
are marvels of skill in weaving and
coloring.

and soft smooth serges are to be much
used for tailor made costumes. but
