New York. Sept. 29.-That is one
comfortable thing about the recent
tendency to eliminate season lines to
great extent in SO far as materials
are concerned and to make all wool
and silk fabrics SO soft and supple
that they are as appropriate for sum-
mer as for winter and may be used
INTERCHANGEABLE. The frock of crepe,
wolfe, silk mOusseline, chiffon cloth,
ETC.. made for summer wear. will now
re-enforce a winter wardrobe in most
satisfactory fashion, and that fact Is
a blessing to the woman of few
clothes.
The sleeveless, low cut bodices of
the summer, worn over short sleeves
and guimpe of lace or other filmy
stuff, will have their echoes in dressy
winter gowns, and already some of
these models are bling madified and re-
produced in crepes. soft silks, and silk
voiles. etc. Or altogether appropriate
for the coming season.
Stripes are less common among the
wooden suitings than in the province
Of silken stuffs, and the line stripes
in two colors, which appear with
French sanction, demand very care
ful tailoring If they are to be supreme
ly successful; but the one tone stripes
achieved by contrast in the weaving
make up extremely we'll. One New
York importer has brought over a
particularly chic green street costume,
whose material shows half inch stripe
of herringbone weave alternating
with smooth htripe, and whose
relieving note Is an odd little waist
coat of black satin embroidered
heavily in warm shades of brown and
green, with occasional threads of dull
gold.
In certain trig little walking cos
tunes of mixed tweed or serge of neu-
trail tone, waistcoats of Scotch plaid
are used with resultant smartness and
gray cloth embroidered in little steel
beads often forms the waistcoat for
the tailored costume. Very high
girdles closely fitted and taking on a
waistcoat effect by buttoning across
in double breasted fashion with hand
some buttons are seen even upon
very dressy frocks in beautiful bro
cades or plain silks, and this same idea
is developed In connection with sine
OF the new three piece costumes for
street wear.
To trim cloth with taffeta of a same
shade is not exactly a new fashion,
but it Is a fashion that has suddenly
been revived and many of the new
gowns are made up with this sort of

the most expensive and effective. but
another trimming offered is a side
pleating covered with French knots
of the same shade of silk as the
taffeta. A gray gown, for instance,
is trimmed with these bands of pleat-
ed taffeta about three or four inches
wide, and is heavily embroidered with
French knots. It is an odd style of
trimming, and in this case the oddly
makes it smart and popular.
The black will be extensively worn
seems to be established beyond
shadow of a doubt, and not only in
broadcloth and other heavy woolens,
but in silks and in sheer stuffs the
supple of black seems practically end
less. In line with the black materials
comes such an assortment of black
laces as has not been seen before, a
fact proving the faith of manufacture
ing circles have in the vogue of black.
Black silk venise and black silk
cluny are offered in beautiful de signs
and in all imaginable forms. and for
trimming the sheer black materials
come block silk point de gaze and
manw ebroidered net laces. A host
Of combination laces in black silk,
often uniting four or five heavy and
fine laces in one design, are also in
evidence.
In white laces there is so far moth
ing strikingly new. and the heavy
Irish and Venetian varieties bid fair
to retain their prestige. novelties in
lace being embodied in combination
laces rather than in separate and in
individual varieties.
The showing of gauzy materials,
embroidered tulles, and nets. silk
cloths, and the slightly heavier yet
still gossamer like stuffs as silk voile
and silks of the radium order is really
amazing; and for evening and house
wear these shimmering transparent
or semi-transparent stuffs will be ire
mendously popular. The embroidered
tulles and notes will be lavishly used,
too as trimmings. being introduced
even upon broadcloth and heavy silks.
The stripes gauzes, chiffons, etc., are
particularly pretty, and there is pro-
nounced fancy for such semi-trans-
parent striped effects in contrasting
weave or fabrics, but in one tone.
There are no costumes for children
more suggestive of infantile charm
than those made of white lingerie
materials. These dainty washable
toilets show many exquisite details,

houses they are often carried over all

So admired are these costumes. in
