FASHION STYLES FOR
THE COMING FALL
No Startling Novelties Prob
babIe in Gowns and
Coats.
BANANA YELLOW HYDRANGEA BLUE

New York, Sept. 16.-Gowns and
coats for the fall seen in the shops
now, follow closely on the lines Of
the summer models and it seems hard
ly probable that any very startling
novelties will make their appearance
this fall There will, of course. be
some changes, but wnat they are is
not yet known.
The latest advices from Paris in.
dicate that the Empire modes are to
be in great favor this fall and winter.
Paqin and other French dressmakers
are turning out some smart three
piece Empire models in cloth, silk
and velvet.
Sleeves have come in for their share
of attention from the best dress
makers. The experiment has been
tried of making the sleeves of diff
ferent material from the rest of the
costume, velvet sleeves with a cloth
gown or lace sleeves with silk or vel
vet bodices. Whether these innova-
tions will take remains to be seen.
Evidences indicate that velvet sea-
son is planned for this winter. The
beauty of the velYets for the coming
season as well as their wearing quail
tiles promise success to the plans of
the arbiters of the modes. Graduated
bands of velvet will probably be the
favorite trimming for cloth and silk
costumes and revees, collars, cuffs,
girdles and other details of dress will
all show a predominance in favor of
the popular material.
Quite novelty in the way of a vel
vet frock, which was very quaint in
its effect, was a princesse model in
deep purple silk chiffon velvet, whose
only trimming was narrow folds of
satin, matching the color of the gown.
The novelty consisted in the fact that
the dress buttoned straight down the
front from neck to hem. A plastron
of rare lace completed this simple
but striking gown.
Satin seems to be coming in for a
share of the seasons attention and
the predictions are that it will be
more popular for evening wear than
the lighter and more transparent ma-
terials. 1t is being much used in COM
bination with cloth. A cloth skirt
has as an accompaniment a charming
cat of satin in the same color These
coats of satin are also worn with
skirts of mousseline, chiffon, crepe
de chine, etc.
The new moires are soft and supple
as are all the materials for the COM
ing season. They are among the
most beautiful in design of the new
silks and certainly deserve to be ex-
veedingly popular. Moire ribbons, it
is said, will be much used for trim
ming.
Black and white and all black will
again be in favor this winter both in
millinery and gowns. Black broad
cloth for street suits will be even
smarter than last spring, and black
velvet in princesse style will be eX-
ceedingly modish.
AS has been said once before, the
princess skirt and street frock are
very effective on a good figure, but
few dressmakers or tailors have been
successful with their models. If there
is any doubt about the ability to make
the princess model a perfect fit, it is
better to make skirt and girdle sep
arate and then stitch them firmly to-
gether.
Pastel shades seem to hold their
own in popularity, and other light col
ors which will be popular are the
lows and blues on the hydrangea order.
Among the darker colors the various
shades of blush red are the most
in evidence.
The basqued coat promises to be
one of the models to be reckoned
with as a substitute for the bolero, as
it is more becoming to the majority
OF women than the redingote or the
n fofl 10
quite variety in the basqued models
shown which with or without belt or
girdle are extremely stylish.
The fall hat shown for the women
who are always dressed according to
the season, differ very little from the
shapes of the summer They are to be
had in black, blue or brown or some
of the many beautiful reds. There are
some good shapes in the darker green.
Models in medium colored straw trim
med with velvet or feathers or au'
tumn foliage are to be seen in large
numbers.
One of the things in hats is the
little amazon hat, with its high,
rounded crown and narrow curled
brim turning up sharply at the sides
like an exaggerated derby. These are

which have been in vogue in the
field of the small hat A band of vel
vet and wings, quilts or ostrich tips
at the side are the only trimmings
seen on the latest models. The shape
is becoming to very few but those
few look very chic in 1t.
The continental and tricorne shapes
are as popular as ever, and are being
shown in the felts, chenilles, velvets
and otner materials.
Velvet, soft smooth felts, beaver,
chenille and cloth will play an impor-
tant part in the winter millinery. Os-
trich tips and plumes still hold their
own as trimming on the best models.
For the fall and early winter wear
there is nothing prettier than the
white felt hats with black or dark
colored velvet smoothly covering the
under side. Quite a number of these
white felt hats are TO be seen in the
shop windows, as while not too neavy
for the days Immediately following
the warm days of summer, yet they
have no suggestion of the summer -
self.
The high crown was exploited last
spring but nothing came of 1t, and this
summer ua have hapu wparinp the
