soft, lightweight novelty suitings will be
used more extensively for street wear than
such light stuffs have been in any recent
winter season. @
Models Of practical yet chic simplicity,
such az those OF brown and Of blue wolfe.
~ictured among the outs, abound in the
.-Ltumn showing, and a frock Of this type,
which is a boon 10 the woman of dress
economies, need not be an expensive matter
In order to be successful. To be sure, some
Of the most chic OF the novelty worsteds
suitable for the purpose command high
prices, but there are others Of decided
charm n very reasonable cost, and the
voiles, cachemires and similar materials
are not extrsvsgantly expensive.
As q rule the models call for little trim
ming, and that little not OF a costly sort;
but the cachet Of the frock must lie in the
lines OF the model, in the little details OF
piping, braiding, tucking, buttons, &c.
As a usual thing the neck is cut down to
show a becoming guimpe or plastron Of
lace, and some smart little cravat finish
gives distinction to a majority Of the French
models in this class.
Perhaps It is only a tiny fold and knot OF
black silk or satin cleverly placed and
c~ontrived, or the popular black and white
Pekin silk may beused, or the little cravst
may be OF lace or:ot embroidery batiste,
bound with narrow folds OF black or OF
Pekin stripe. and may have soft tab ends
which pass beneath a buttoned over tab
OF the bodice and appear again below this
strap.
The plaid silks, sparingly used, furnish
many OF theec cravat touches for plain tone
Srocks tina fall, and narrow pipings OF
plaid silk are used elsewhere upon the
models, as In the case Of the dark blue wolfe
sketched FOR this page. In this model a
soft, full vest Of lace extended from collar
to the girdle and was framed in piped straps
OF the wolfe. running from the shoulder and
buttoning to the girdle. This rather. high
girdle was Of the plain blue, but soft folds

high rolling collars and lace cravats. And
With such costumes, II they are 10 be worn

But while such attire has been sported by
Partisan extremists in dress, by the demi
mOHddines who adore the spectacular In
dress and by. the few moHdqines who have
the daring and the skill to wear bizarre
clothes with grace and Success. IL Is the
much chastened Empire or Directoire frock

&C., upon which the designers and manu-
f~actursra have laviahed their highest arr.
The liking for striped effects 10 responsive
for some Of the low eliest designs IN theSe
printed materials; but outside OF the stripes
in white and soft color, with or without dsep
floral borders, exquisite In design and col
orr, there Ia a host Of original variattons
upon the stripe idea. For instance one
line OF chiffon cloth has black stripes on Q
white ground. with softly colored COVERS
for relief, but on this n motif the do
sighers have rung many changes.
There 10 an inch wide black stripe sec &C
wide intervals on the white ground ana
interrupted every eight or ten inches OF 10
length by a cluster OF beautifully tinted
and harmonised flowers. Or perhaps three
harrow grouped lines Of black may form
the stripe, with inch spaces between The
lines and eight inch spaces between these
groups: and instead OF . solid norA cluster
