Smart Models. ~
For middle-aged woman a becom
ing jacket with rippling peplum is
built of gunmetal broadcloth. Bishop
| sleeves terminate at the elbow in
tight-fltting cuffs Both the front of
the Jacket and the skirt show inverted
box: plaits. A shaped belt of the
broadcloth accentuates the waist line
and is trimmed with motifs and but
tons built from soutache braid, which
also ornaments a short shoulder cape
and seam at the back of the jacket.
Silk military braid, in double rows fin
fishes the bottom of the skirt and the
fichu ends of the jacket cape at the
front. ~
A striking example of long-skirt-
ed coat is in silver gray broadcloth.
Very fine shirrings of this supple fab
ric give princess effect to the redin-
cote, the fullness being released at the
hips to fall in graceful ripples over
the long skirt of the suit. Let in at
the shoulder seams are gatherings of
broadcloth edged on either side by silk
Hercules braid in silver gray. They
form the only decoration for the front
of the coat and terminate at the waist
line cockades of gray silk with an
antique silver button at the heart of
each. Silk braid and rosette buttons
finish the coat sleeves.
Tremendously chic for youthful
| figure is a coat and skirt of blue and
white serge. At the head of the hem
| of the jupe are laid oblong motifs
made from strips of the material join
ed N points at the middle. band of
this same trimming outlines the collar

bust. From this point the jackets but
tons diagonally over to the right. each
side of the coat sloping off to the un-
der arm seam at the waist line to re-
veal pointed satin girdle. A tight
fitting peplum passes around the back
and curves up gently to meet the
edges of the coat.
The velvet suit promises TO be as
much of favorite this year as last,
and its new suppleness renders it ex-
tremely desirable for autumn wear. A.
model which is suited to stout and
thin alike has a coat of slightly
blousing bolero effect, entering deep
pointed girdle of satin. At the center
of the back the seam of the bolero
lengthens over the girdle into a plait-
ed position that reaches nearly half
way down the skirt. Light-colored
broadcloth embroidered in French
knots and soutache braid forms the
vest and also the wristband for a turn
back velvet cuff. Cord1ngs of satin en-
circle the neck and make heading for
the hem of the skirt.
No less jaunty is suit of cinnamon
brown velour The skirt is built with
circular yoke which falls in a straight
seam to the bottom of the skirt in
front. Attached to this yoke and
shaped over the hips by double plaits,
the jupe hangs very full about the
feet, barely clearing the ground. The
short jacket opens with graduated,
stitched folds Of the velvet on either
side. A satin girdle shapes it to the
waist and rings o. soutache braid on
white discs trim cuffs and collar.
Coiffures High or Low.
The modess in hairdressiag that
fashion DEGREES correct this fall are
varied and attractive. The newest ar
rangements show both high and low
coiffure, and the choice will depend
largely on the contour of the face.
The low dressing is especially be-
coming to women having length of
neck and perfection in, profile, but
there are other styles from which to
choose for those less gifted by nature.
The 1880 modes brought into favor
the fashion of dressing the hair low,
which is becoming more and more the
vogue. particularly among the younger
| set.
While this style is best suited to the
| woman in her first youth, it has like
wise proved becoming to many women
who have passed this period. In the
low style of coiffure more hair is re-.
quired in dressing than when the hair
is worn high. Unless a woman has
a wealth of hair an artistic effect can
not be obtained without resorting to
some artificial means to assist nature
