Contrasts in Colors

1t is very sharp contrast, black and
gray. and yet 1t is seen. A more salts
factory combination is black and blue, and
as a rule black trimmings on blue gowns
are preferred to the all blue-that is, in
the dark colors; black silk and black satin
look well on blue serge or blue cheviot
and then the little line of white on the
waistcoats, some gold braid and some gold
buttons, and straightway a smart little
gown is turned out that invariably has a
look OF style that makes 1t extremely at
tractlve 1t is curious how these dark blue
serges and cheviot gowns continue in fash
ion year after year. and at the same time
are never said to be fashionable: they are
very useful for all sorts of wear, and are
so tremendously serviceable, which is
probably one reason for their great popu-
larity.
The medium length or rather short box
coat and a severely plain skirt look we'll

which has already been spoken OF. In
brown there are good combinations and
there Is a brown with a hair stripe of
lighter brown that looks almost like vel
low. while some OF the rough plain browns
are very attractive. Brown is a color that
must needs require careful choice the
right shade is charming and the wrong
shade is appalling. so that the woman who
buys 1t must be sure she gets shade that
is becoming to her own especial coloring.
This, too. can be lightened and made more
becoming by white or black waistcoat.
for black and brown look well together:
brown and green are a strange combina-
ton, but very smart at the moment. and
once again brown and blue are attempted.
This seems very strange, but il the right
shades are put together the combination
always is an effective one. Blue serge
with brown braid, for instance, is rather
daring thing. when It is first talked OF.
and yet an extremely dark costume of dark
blue and braiding of blue and tiny lines of
brown velvet is model that wants COM

Modes for Cloth Costumes

these same long skirts. sweeping on the
ground. touching all around. sides and
back. quite impossible to hold up gracefully
that is, by any American woman. Even
In Paris great effort is being made TO have
these same skirts cut short and there are
signs that this, fashion may be put through
and that women will be sensible enough
to have n skirt intended for a walking
skirt made short enough to clear the
ground absolutely. without any danger of
its touching. The fashioning OF a short
skirt so that 1t hangs well and Ats well is
a difficult art. and It is for this reason
that dressmakers are not so much In favor
of the short skirt would be expected.
1t Is difficult, unless a woman has an I'M
commonly good figure and holds herself re-
markably well, to make n short skirt be-
coming, especially II she be at all stout.
The lines must be carefully studied. the
fullness OF the material must be placed
right and the lines of trimming, II there
be any trimming, must needs be long and
at the same time follow the figure itself.
Dressmakers often get ahead of this diff
Guilty by putting on fiat trimmings OF the
material itself or of braid that seem to be
in direct contradiction TO the lines of the
skirt. They may not be so in reality but
at all events they carry out the lines de-
sired and the effect is good.

with the effective shorter coats or loose
pony coats to match.
Many Of these gowns are now made
with a waist to match. This is not posi-
BILE II material is too heavy, but a great
many Of the wooden materials especially
the most expensive ones. are light. al
though warm, and II is quite possible to
have waist made OF them, only suitable,
however, for very cold days, and as a
rule. the separate WRIST still holds its
popularity, and Is worn under the coat,
which invariably matches the skirt. 1t is
possible, and also attractive in the figured
materials, not to have any trimming ex-
cept the material itself put on In bias
bands which naturally requires some clev-
erness to carry out In such designs as this,
but the fashions show that It Is to be quite
the most popular idea OF the autumn, and
when relieved by collar or cuffs OF heavy
silk or velvet and few bright buttons 1t
must be confessed the whole effect is
most satisfactory.
The more elaborate costumes are
extremely useful in spite OF their long
skirts. and look very warm and COM
Portable at this time of year. The dark
blue serges are made up again this year
and are most attractive, whether simple
or elaborate in design The elaborate
trimmings are pleated bands of laffeta or
mohair braid. with soft silk finish that
is shiny and somehow gives an air OF
elaboration without making the gown look
overdone All braiding. as well as braid,
is fashionable, but as there are many
women of conservative taste to Judge OF
this thing. there is a very clever scheme
by which the collars and cuffs can be
braided; there can be a waistcoat braided
and then there need be nothing on the
skirt.

style. for Busine.. women.

A business woman has little time for So
ciAl intercourse. She may have a host OF
charming friends who entertain lavishly
and gather about them people she would
like to enjoy, but she has not the time.
Unfortunate she Is In one way, for GER
tain amount OF pleasure Is necessary to all.
but that she is saved no end of worry and
trouble when Il comes 10 the clothes ques-
ton is without doubt. Her wardrobe like
her time, Is lnaited, not because OF neces-
sity, but from choice.
Proper business clothes are her first
thought those which win prove service
able, at the same time carrying an amount
OF smartness necessary to enable her to
present an attractive appearance. for the
wise business woman has long since learned
that though clothes do not make the man.
they go a long way toward creating
good impression where woman ia concerned.

coat more becoming. White cloth, leather
and black satin all are used, and occasion
ally is seen what is known fancy vest
ing somewhat on the order of the waist
coat that men wear, in which is seen only
just the edge or sufficient to give a touch
of contrast in color or material that is
extremely effective and quite lifts the coat
out of the region of only being practical
and useful
The sleeves on the more elaborate style
are short, just to the elbow or a little
below. They stand out from the shoulder
and are trimmed. In the pony coats and
the more simple models the sleeves are
longer and in truth for a really correct
tailor gown the sleeves ought to be in coat
shape and long. 1t has been very curious
that conservative women have accepted
this last year this fashion of the sleeves,
quite incorrect for the style of coat in
which they are placed, but they have been
accepted apparently, and are rather likely
to continue so, but be 1t remembered that
the woman who can buy but one gown, or
at the most two, had better study very
carefully for what purpose shs intends to
use her costume before she decides to put
short sleeves in a rough material and a
gown that is intended only for practical
use. The more elaborate sleeve can be
used for the more elaborate gown giving an
air of fashion that is very smart and be-
coming and making the gown possible to
wear on more formal occasions.
Gray is at the moment fashionable and
will be fashionable color all through the
autumn and winter. In the rough ma
terials the mixed designs are the most pre-
ferred while in the smoother fabrics the
plain surface is the best The fad of the
moment to trim these gowns or cos
tunes with taffeta silk of the same color
is a good one in so far as IT is effective,
but when gray as calor is chosen it is
not always q very satisfactory combina-
ton of the materials silk and WOOL for
gray is one of the worst colors to wear
It invariably changes the shade and often
the material is quite different from the
trimming after few weeks wear, so
that in choosing trimmings and materials
the greatest care should be exercised. 1t
Is for this reason, perhaps. or it may be
on account of the fancy of the moment
for sharp contrasts, that so much black
Is used with light colors, and also with
gray.

Stripes in Favor.

At The moment fashion seems to be
rather more in favor OF stripes than OF
the checks and plaids that have been
fashionable for the last two or three
winters, and the new cheviot and tweed
gowns are extremely attractive made in
this design. There have been seen all
summer these costumes In the fsnnels,
the white with hair line of black or
blue, and, once again. attractive dark
grays with a hair line of lighter gray or
white. For the autumn the dark colors
are preferred. The light colors look some
how as though the gowns were leftovers.
and as the season advances they look too
cold and rather poor, as 1t were. The
exception is in favor OF white, which for
country wear is possible until very late.
or In the shaggy. rough materials. The
light tans with the indefinite figures are
thought very smart. The blues with line
OF green are rather unusual. and are very
attractive made IN the many-gored skirts.
